PATTY CAKES: THE REMAKE

Made by GlitchyProductions and proof-read by DTG

Original story by Pegacorn Ondacob.

Fluttershy sat contentedly in her kitchen, the dark room intensifying the plethora of emotions going through her head. Despite all that she had been working for up to this point in her life, she felt that nothing was of value anymore. Her lovely animals and dear friends were there to comfort her when she was upset, but there was something that broke her down from the start.

She was lonely.

She wanted someone to live with her and give her some love and attention.

Fluttershy had turned off all the lights in the house and was sitting at the front of her large dining room table, a massive piece of wooden furniture with a large jar full of rare flowers from all over Equestria. She rested her head on the smooth, cool surface of the table, wrapping her arms around her head and closing her eyes.

She thought forlornly about all the things that she had done in secrecy, like buying baby clothes and other items to prepare herself for motherhood in the future. There was something utterly missing from her plan, however: a child of her own.

She had spent money on something that she might never have because she was such a shy and demure person. Being too scared to talk to most of the men in Rumsville had left her without a partner in her life, and she knew this meant that she would never have a baby and fill the open hole in her heart.

Rainbow Dash ran down the path as fast as her legs would take her. It was time to get in shape for the Running of the Leaves, and she had only three days left to prepare for the insanity that was sure to come. The thin blue tracksuit that she wore over her tank top fluttered as she jogged, the large image of a cloud shooting a tri-tone lightning bolt emblazoned in the side and making for a rather childish tattoo. Under her track suit she wore her denim blue jeans that complimented her tracksuit and made her look like one of the weather rangers.

She blazed down the forest path, passing pedestrians and myriad trees in the forest path. On her way around the town she had passed Sugarcube Corner and was making her way toward Sweet Apple Acres in order to taunt Applejack deviously, knowing that he friend would be entered in the race as well and would no doubt be just as competitive as she was last year.

One person she didn’t say hello to was her best friend Fluttershy, the one person from her circle of closest friends that she’d known since childhood, and the one person who was constantly teased and made fun of by the men in town. It ticked her off royally that they would taunt and make fun of such a lovely and harmless girl. Rainbow decided that while she was out she would pay her best friend a visit, so she modified her route somewhat in order to drop by Fluttershy’s cottage on the outskirts of town.

Fluttershy aimlessly wandered into her living room, feeling tired from all the work and sleepless nights of buying baby products and storing them in her converted nursery. She worked her way to her couch and stood in front of it, eyeing the cardboard shipping container filled to the brim with her latest order of baby supplies. She sighed, then picked it up and placed it on the ground next to a box full of baby clothing.

She slowly ambled back over to the couch, then flopped onto it and rested upon its soft cushions, spreading her entire body all over it as though it were a big, fluffy bed, then picked up one of the magazines to read its contents. After reading the Canterlot Company catalog and digesting the ads within it for three hours, she closed her eyes and felt the tension in her body disappear. She had been preparing herself for the last two years in secret before she even began contemplating talking to them about it.

Her desires for a child were very secretive. Only Rarity knew the truth. She even helped Fluttershy by giving her money to buy some of the supplies and rebuild her spare bedroom into a nursery.

Opening her eyes, she looked up at the ceiling, the light from a crack in the drapes casting a narrow glowing band on her face. She happened to glance at the window when a strange shadow rose up the curtains and drifted toward the door. She smiled; she guessed who it was, and was glad Rainbow Dash had decided to drop by.

“Fluttershy? You in there?”

Rainbow Dash knocked on the door, then impatiently tried to look past the drawn shades on the window. She didn’t want to waste time. She had a race to prepare for, after all. Again she hammered hard on the door, nearly tearing it down in the process.

She stopped after hearing several clicks from the various locks on the door. Dash couldn’t wait to get inside and relax. She had allotted herself a half hour to rest before getting back to running, and she wanted to spend it with her friend.

“I’ll be right there . . .”

Dash smirked, glad that the door was finally being opened.

The last bolt was unhinged, and finally the door swung open and Fluttershy greeted her childhood friend with a timid smile.

“Hello, Rainbow Dash. What brings you all the way out here?”

“I was just out training for the Running of the Leaves and figured I’d head up your way and rest up at your place for a while,” said Rainbow Dash, stretching her arms and smirking while she said it.

Fluttershy smiled at her friend thinking of her like this. “Please, won’t you come in?” She moved out of the way so Dash could enter her house.

“Sure.” Rainbow Dash gave Fluttershy a small hug, then made her way into the living room, noting with curiosity that it was dark inside. She saw that the lights were off and some of the curtains were closed.

“So what’s with the dark house, Fluttershy?” The athletic runner could barely see the furniture to keep from tripping over it.

“Oh, uh, I’m sorry Rainbow Dash. I had a little headache from the lights, and I wanted a quick nap anyway,” replied Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash turned and looked confusedly at her friend. “But it’s 9:30. The sun hasn’t even been up three hours!”

“I was up all night.” Fluttershy looked at the ground.

“Why?”

“Well . . . I-I couldn’t get to sleep.”

Rainbow Dash stood in the middle of the living room and stretched her arms, then looked at Fluttershy cautiously, concerned about what was going on with her.

She looked Fluttershy in the eye. “Is there something you need to tell me?”

“Um, I don’t have anything to say.” Fluttershy looked away.

“You sure?” Rainbow Dash was about to give up; it didn’t seem to be of any use talking to Fluttershy.

“Yes, Rainbow Dash. I’m sorry for making you think something was wrong,” apologized Fluttershy.

Dash smiled at her friend with her trademark grin. “Eh, don’t sweat it.”

Fluttershy walked over to the light switch and turned on the kitchen and living room lights, bathing the house with the warm glow from the lamps. “There we go.”

Rainbow Dash kept up with her stretches. Now that there was light in the house, she looked around the room. It was clean. Very clean. Fluttershy usually liked a tidy house, but this was a bit too much. All the dust resting on the TV and the shelves and cupboards was wiped clean. All the video games they had played last week had been put back in their respective cases.

“So what’s with the cleaning?” asked Rainbow.

“What?” said Fluttershy, mishearing her friend.

“What’s with the seriously bogus cleaning?” Rainbow spun around, indicating the living room with her arms.

“Oh, I’m just . . . uh . . . cleaning the house a little.” She blushed as she spoke.

“Uh-huh.” Bored already with this line of questioning, Rainbow eyed the couch.

“Do you want me to make you some tea?” asked Fluttershy.

“Yeah sure, do whatever you want.” The blue-suited athlete walked over to the couch and flopped down on it, knocking over some of the perfectly positioned pillows in the process. She slipped off her jogging shoes, then kicked her legs up on the couch, spread out her arms and rested herself.

Fluttershy excused herself from the living room and went into the kitchen to make the tea, and soon Rainbow, who had never been able to remain in one spot very long since she was a little girl, hopped up off the sofa and followed her into the kitchen. As Fluttershy got the tea-making supplies from the cabinets Dash ambled into the kitchen and leaned up lazily against the refrigerator.

“So where’s Angel?” Rainbow asked Fluttershy, who stopped what she was doing and turned around. She smiled as she saw Rainbow pulling on her shin to stretch her quadriceps.

“Oh . . . it’s mating season for bunnies and— ”

“What?! Seriously?!” Rainbow’s jaw dropped in shock.

“Um, yes.” Fluttershy blushed, then continued to work on making the tea.

“Atta boy!” Rainbow Dash cheered, pumping her fist in the air in exultation. Fluttershy giggled in response.

“I bet he’s gonna get all the lady bunnies. He’s a real pro.”

“I don’t mean to be vulgar, but . . . um . . . he was doing things before, uh, mating season,” said Fluttershy as she put the tea in the infuser.

“What do you mean?” asked Rainbow.

“He was . . . um . . . humping things.” Fluttershy blushed at her words. Angel bunny’s behavior catching her off guard. She held her stomach and struggled to keep herself upright.

“I’m sure it’s normal for an animal to do that,” said Dash after calming herself, wiping tears of laughter from her cheeks as she did.

“It is. Forest animals like bunnies do as they please.” Fluttershy turned an even brighter shade of crimson as she said so.

Rainbow convulsed as she struggled to keep the mental image that formed from that statement from causing her to completely lose control.

“Let’s just sit down before I explode.”

After leaving the kitchen Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash went back to the couch to watch TV. Rainbow Dash left it to Fluttershy to figure out what to watch, and she decided that they would watch cartoons together. The one they found was a strange one about a rabbit and a black duck arguing about whether it was duck season or rabbit season, an argument settled by a hunter chasing them both through the forest.

It was a very funny cartoon and they both couldn’t help but laugh at it. During the cartoon Rainbow Dash had taken off her tracksuit, showing off her small, blue tank top which held a matching image of the “cutie mark” that she had embroidered on her tracksuit. It showed off her belly and the rest of her stomach and belly button. She began rubbing her belly, an action that Fluttershy noticed and thought a bit strange, but she didn’t say anything.

Rainbow Dash’s own curiosity was piqued, however. She knew that Fluttershy was a shy girl, and whenever a boy spoke to her she would nearly faint at the sight of him. Since she wasn’t romantically involved with a boy, and was definitely not into girls either, Dash wondered why she had all those boxes on the floor. It’s not like Fluttershy ever ordered anything really big for herself; her house was furnished well and she liked her furniture enough that it would never change. Clothes were out; she had plenty and wasn’t a shopper like Rarity or Twilight. Curiosity was killing her.

The thoughts in her head were interrupted by Fluttershy whispering, “Rainbow Dash?”

“Yeah, Fluttershy?” Dash turned her head from the cartoons and looked at her friend.

“Can I tell you something?” The pink-haired girl blushed and lowered her head to look away toward the TV screen.

“’Sup?” Rainbow repositioned herself to look at Fluttershy with crossed arms and a smirk.

“Um, I need to go to the bathroom.”

“You don’t need to tell me that.” Dash rolled her eyes, patting Fluttershy’s shoulder.

“Um . . . I’m sorry.”

“Forget it. Now go do your business.” Rainbow Dash smiled at her.

Fluttershy got up and slowly walked over to the staircase and climbed the steps to the second floor bathroom. After Rainbow Dash watched the shy girl make her way upstairs, she turned back to the cardboard boxes sitting in the middle of the living room. She was dying to find out what was inside, and she figured a little peek wouldn’t hurt. The tape on the lid was already cut; Fluttershy would never have to know.

“Right.” Rainbow took a deep breath, exhaled, then got up off the couch and braced herself for what was inside the boxes. She hoped it wasn’t something that might cause her to think badly of Fluttershy.

She crept across the carpet, as though sudden movement might be heard by her friend and cause her to come back down and ask what was going on. She inched toward the small cardboard box next to the fireplace, a small, fragile thing that looked like it had taken a beating in the mail.

She looked it over and found a massive label across one of the sides. Huge letters bore out its contents:

"CUSTOMER: FLUTTERSHY, BABY CO. ORDER #23,567 - Babiez Absorbent Diapers

Sizes 6 - 8 + Snuggle bun Pink Pacifier w/ Snuggle bun One-Fits-All Onesie Limited

Edition."

As she scanned the label twice to make sure she hadn’t misread it, she felt her stomach do a back flip. She hadn’t expected anything like this. Millions of thoughts ran through Rainbow’s head, some good and some bad.

“Why the hell does she have this stuff?” she whispered to herself.

Dash gingerly lifted the lid and peered into the box. Inside it was filled with strange little polyester chips, obviously packing material. She plunged her hand into the stuff and felt something soft. It was strange: smooth plastic with a rubber thing on the side. She extracted it from the packing material, launching some of the chips onto the floor.

In her hand was a small pink pacifier covered with little yellow butterflies. Rainbow’s heart stopped for a moment as she wondered why Fluttershy would order something like this.

“Fluttershy . . . what the hell . . .”

She threw the pacifier to the side and then rooted around in the polyester chips again, trying to uncover the rest of the items listed on the label. She was not sure what she was expecting, though she had the distinct feeling in her stomach, like a monster would pop out of the box and grab her.

It wouldn’t have been out of place considering how weird the first item she found had been.

She finally felt something at the very bottom of the box. Placing both hands around the object, she carefully extracted it, lifting gingerly so as not to spill any of the packing peanuts on the floor. As it cleared the packing material, the label became clear. It was the pack of “Babiez Absorbent Diapers” listed on the label. They were wrapped in thick, transparent plastic and she could see that there were two dozen of them, neatly folded against each other and sporting images of rattles, bottles, butterflies and rainbows. The strangest thing about them though was that they appeared to be large enough to fit a child, maybe even a small adult.

“Wha . . . what the . . .” Rainbow Dash gulped. It felt like she was swallowing a massive stone that refused to go down her throat. She was confused. Why would Fluttershy order something like this? Was she hiding something? Did she have problems when sleeping? Was she going to pull off a massive prank involving diapers and baby stuff? Too many questions, not enough answers.

Rainbow Dash gently set the pack of diapers to the side of the cardboard box and set about trying to find the last item listed on the label, the so-called “onesie” that was supposedly in the box along with all the other items.

She rummaged through, the task made easier by the removal of the diapers, and finally felt a lump of soft, cotton material to the side of the package. She grabbed the object and lifted it out of the chips.

“Dude . . . what the hell . . .” She gulped. There was a feeling she didn’t like in the pit of her stomach, as though a wrench was trying to turn the cogs in her guts apart.

What she was holding was a medium size onesie that looked like it was big enough to fit a kid, maybe one as old as eight or nine. It was cyan blue and made from soft fleece material. It looked strange to Rainbow Dash. The legs were missing and the crotch had buttons on it.

Dash stared at the items for a time, then decided she needed to confront Fluttershy about the things she had found in the box. There was no way Derpy had switched the packages; it had her name on it and the address to her cottage.

As she rose up and turned to confront Fluttershy, she was surprised to see her at the base of the stairs. Dash nearly tripped over the box as she saw her friend watching her from the shadows, a frightened expression on her face.

“Rainbow Dash . . . this isn’t what it looks like.”

Dash was bewildered, tripping over the cardboard box and falling on top of the pack of diapers. She got up and staggered to the couch, her stomach reeling at the knowledge that her friend had been watching her the whole time.

Fluttershy’s eyes welled up as she felt the impending doom from the knowledge that Rainbow Dash, her best friend since childhood, had found out about her recently imported baby supplies. Her mind was in a state of panic as she thought about how word would spread all over Rumsville, the whole town being in on her secret.

“Looks like?!” fumed Dash.

Fluttershy ducked her head into her hands and turned away in shame.

“What the hell’s going on, Fluttershy?” Rainbow Dash got up and marched over to Fluttershy. “What’s with all these baby supplies?” Fluttershy took a step back, afraid of the massive verbal assault her friend would surely set upon her.

“I c-can explain . . .” Fluttershy continued to hide her face, but the guilt had worked its way into her voice, causing Rainbow Dash to pause in her verbal onslaught long enough to calm herself.

“Listen,” began Rainbow. “I’m just a little freaked out. Why are you buying baby supplies?” She set a warm hand on Fluttershy’s shoulder. When she didn’t answer, Rainbow walked over to the package of diapers and held them up. “Can you explain these?” She shook the package a bit for emphasis in front of Fluttershy, who slowly grabbed it and held it close, as though it were a security blanket.

“Well?”

“I . . . um . . . I . . .” Fluttershy dropped the package and quickly ran upstairs, every footfall making a loud bang on the wooden steps. When she reached the upstairs hall Rainbow heard her run briefly before hearing the bedroom door loudly slam shut. The blue-adorned athlete called after her, hoping she would return, the guilt for her rash, impatient behavior weighing on her.

“Fluttershy, wait!” yelled Rainbow.

Fluttershy sobbed uncontrollably as she sat on her small wooden bed adorned with a pink fluffy blanket. In her hands she held a small cuddly teddy bear with a large pink ribbon attached to her ears. She hugged it tightly, letting her tears fell on its head and soak into its artificial fur.

As she sat rocking slightly she heard a creak on the wooden floorboards outside her door and a faint whisper from the other side of the room.

“Fluttershy?”

She didn’t dare look up. She knew what was going to happen. The last time she had told one of her friends a secret everything got out of control and she ended up modeling for an old woman with a passion for fashion despite an intense dislike of being in the spotlight.

“P-please go away,” she squeaked.

“I’m not gonna leave till you tell me what’s up,” said Rainbow Dash.

The only effect of her friend’s insistence was to cause Fluttershy to crawl into her shell once more and squeeze her teddy even tighter. Her sobbing increased to the point that it sounded like wailing.

“I c-can’t! It’s too silly!” whispered Fluttershy.

She felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up and opened her eyes to see Rainbow Dash sitting down on the bed smiling compassionately at her.

“Nothing is too silly. Just look at Pinkie Pie.” Rainbow Dash knew the joke was bad the moment it left her lips.

“It’s stupid . . .” Fluttership droned.

“If you don’t tell me what’s wrong then I can’t help you. Just spill the beans.” She put her arm around her crying friend and calmly hugged her, feeling Fluttershy’s delicate body shaking like a leaf.

The demure girl wiped the tears from her cheeks and slowly gained the courage to look at her best friend. Rainbow was looking at her intently, expecting an answer.

“I . . . I want a baby.”

Dash blinked. “A baby?” she asked, leaning back.

“Yes.” Fluttershy smiled a little.

“You’re too young to have a baby, Fluttershy. Just enjoy life with some apple cider and get drunk for fun,” said Rainbow Dash.

“It’s been my little secret with Rarity,” continued Fluttershy, as though she hadn’t heard Dash. “I wanted a baby of own to look after. My obsession died down a little after I got a job, but then there was that time I had to look after Spike and the Cutie Mark Crusaders and the notion came back and stuck in my head like glue.” She ran her fingers through her hair absent-mindedly.

“I know you’re good with kids, but you’re only 22. You can’t just have a baby so young. You wouldn’t be able to party with others!” Rainbow patted Fluttershy on the back, hoping to calm her down a little.

“I don’t want to party,” said Fluttershy.

“If I were you, I’d wait until I was thirty to have a kid. I wouldn’t want an icky, gross little kid that cries all the time.” Rainbow looked at Fluttershy. “But that’s just me.”

“I think babies are very cute,” said Fluttershy as she blushed.

“Hey, I’m sure you’d be a great parent in a few years after tasting loads of cider and eating some of Pinkie’s cupcakes.

Apparently they’re to die for,” said Rainbow Dash as she licked her lips.

Fluttershy shook her head. “Oh, I’m just so stupid. I want a man to help me get pregnant so I can have my own child and can love them forever. But no man would ever want me!”

“Whoa, calm down!” Rainbow Dash held Fluttershy’s arms and repeatedly brushed her pink hair.

“I don’t even have the courage to babysit anymore because of my obsession with getting a baby. I always think that I might end up stealing one or trying to keep one,” sobbed Fluttershy.

“Hey, hey. Calm down, girl. I’m sure you’ll work something out. I mean . . .” Rainbow tried to think. “People always get what they want end the end if they want it hard enough. You’ll find a nice guy you can fall in love with. You should try Big Mac or something,” offered Rainbow.

“Oh . . . okay . . .” Fluttershy lowered her head and looked at her teddy bear.

Rainbow waited anxiously a few moments, then decided to change the subject. “How long have you been buying all of these baby toys and supplies?” She looked around the room to see a rather fitting crib on the other side of the room, with a changing table on the adjacent wall and packages of diapers, baby bottles, bits, rattles and other accessories littering the floor. “It looks like you’ve been doing it for years.”

“Since we left college. I kind of stopped when we met Twilight and her little brother Spike.”

Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at her friend. “You can’t have gotten all this stuff in just five years. Who helped you?”

“Don’t tell on her, please,” started Fluttershy, but she noticed that Rainbow Dash was still looking at her. “Oh, um . . . Rarity. I told her my obsession and she helped me out by giving Sweetie Belle’s toys and old supplies to me.” She blushed a bit.

“She did, huh?” Rainbow Dash crossed her arms.

“Yes. She said that she would support me in my time of need.” Fluttershy wiped the last of the tears from her face.

“What are friends for?” huffed Rainbow Dash sarcastically, then took a deep breath. “If it makes you feel better, I’ll stay here with you until you’re in a better mood.”

“Oh, no, I couldn’t ask you to do that. Didn’t you say you were training for the big run? It’s more important than me,” said Fluttershy, turning the offer around.

“I’ve got a couple of days until the big run. Don’t worry about it,” said Rainbow Dash with a smile.

“Are you sure?” Fluttershy looked at her with concern. “I don’t want you to stay with me if you don’t want to.”

“I’ll get some rest downstairs on the couch. We could turn on the TV and just laze around in the living room or something.” She stood up, walking past the wooden crib and leaned against the door frame. “I’m waiting!” Rainbow said playfully, tapping her foot.

“Sure,” said Fluttershy with a smile, the attitude of her friend reminding her of the cartoon she and Dash had watched only a few minutes ago.

Fluttershy made her way downstairs before Rainbow Dash, then looked around the living room and saw the giant package of diapers that she had dropped before she ran upstairs. She picked up the onesie, pacifier and the pack of diapers and put them on the couch. For a moment she thought about how another person now knew her secret desire for a child. Rainbow was a good friend, and she felt slightly ashamed that she had been afraid that Dash would let everyone know her secret.

But was this obsession for wanting and loving a baby of her own a good thing? She would have to build up just the right amount of confidence in order to find the perfect man and make love to him, hopefully getting pregnant, and then waiting nine months for the child to be born. But what if the child died as she was giving birth to it? Fluttershy didn’t want to have to be subjected to that sort of pain. She knew she would never be able to recover from such a devastating tragedy.

But what if she didn’t have to give birth to a baby?

That question had occurred to her once in a while. She had wondered if asking someone to be a baby for her to take care of could satisfy her obsession and help her get it out of her head. But she always decided in the end that that was a sick thing to ask another person to do that for her.

She sat down on the couch and closed her eyes, thinking of the possibilities that would allow her to get a baby without the pain and waiting, but even thinking about it made her feel selfish to the core.

She looked at the baby supplies that came from the box that Rainbow had opened. Suddenly a new thought occurred to her, something deep in her mind. Something no sane person would ever want to see.

She wanted Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy opened her eyes to banish the mental image that she should never have thought, only to find a massive pair of purple eyes staring back at her.

“Boo!!”

“Yaaaaahhhhh!!” Fluttershy screamed, nearly leaping off the sofa and landing face first o the floor.

“Whoa! Calm down, Fluts. It’s just me,” giggled Rainbow Dash. She didn’t keep her mirth to herself, nearly doubling over with laughter.

Fluttershy moved her hands away from her heart, where they had involuntarily moved after her friend gave her a heart attack, and looked at Rainbow standing before her. Something was different, though. She was perfectly normal, the same blue tank top, the blue jeans. But over her jeans she had taped up a baby diaper.

She gasped at the sight. “Rainbow? What are you doing?!”

“Don’t worry about it, I’m just messing around,” said Rainbow Dash amid a giggle fit.

“I mean why are you wearing that diaper?” demanded Fluttershy.

“Oh this? Nah, I’m just messin’ around.” Rainbow Dash looked down at the diaper, then grabbed the front end and ripped it off as if it were a piece of paper, the tapes making a loud noise and the crinkly diaper landing on the ground. She started giggling again.

“Sorry for scaring you, I just had to do it,” she said with a smile.

“It’s okay. You just gave me a little fright, that’s all,” said Fluttershy as she looked up at Rainbow Dash.

“That’s kind of what I was going for,” replied Rainbow, holding her hand out to Fluttershy.

“I’m sorry about the whole baby thing,” repeated Fluttershy.

“You don’t have to say you’re sorry. If you want a baby, it’s your choice. I don’t want a baby. I’ve already got Scootaloo,” groaned Dash.

“What’s wrong with Scootaloo?” asked Fluttershy.

“She’s always crying and moaning about me never taking her to a Wonderbolts concert. But she ain’t old enough for that,” she explained.

“Aren’t they coming out with a new album?”

“Yeah. It’s called Wisconsin Death trip of something.”

“I’d like to listen to it someday,” smiled Fluttershy.

Rainbow Dash looked at her, puzzled. “You said that you didn’t like the Wonderbolts, ever since they made that album with that Lou Reed dude.”

Fluttershy paused. She wanted to tell Rainbow Dash the truth, and she needed to quite stalling and just get it over with.

“Going back to the subject of the baby . . . that is, if you don’t mind . . . I mean, we can talk about the Wonderbolts again–”

“Fluttershy,” interrupted Dash, “just spit it out. Whatever it is, I’ll try and help you out with it.”

Fluttershy struggle to begin. “Well . . . um . . . remember back in college when you said you would do anything for me . . .”

Rainbow Dash paused for a second, wondering where she was going with this. “Go on.”

“I’d like you to help me get a baby.” Fluttershy held her hands together, hoping that this would work.

“Um, I don’t exactly have the equipment for that,” laughed Rainbow with a half smile, though the joke went over Fluttershy’s head.

“Look, I want you to help me with something, but I don’t know how to explain it.” Fluttershy lowered her head, feeling another onslaught of tears threatening to pour out of her eyes.

“Hey, I said I’d help you out with anything, didn’t I?” Rainbow Dash wrapped her arm around Fluttershy.

“Well . . . I . . . I want you to . . . “ Fluttershy began. “Oh it’s just too silly.”

“Fluttershy, just spit it out.”

“Well . . . I want you to be the baby . . .”

"If that's okay with you . . . " Fluttershy blushed; it was the end of the line for her. She just knew that asking something like that of her best friend would surely put an end to their friendship. She awaited Dash's hard-boiled and shocked response with her head lowered and both of her hands clasped together.

"Sure," Rainbow Dash replied contentedly.

"Wait, what?" Fluttershy quickly looked up. Dash’s calm demeanor shocked her, and heart felt like it would explode at the completely unexpected answer.

"I said, sure." Rainbow Dash crossed her arms, feeling a little agitated at having to repeat her answer.

"W-why?" Fluttershy stared into her eyes, not completely comprehending the whole situation.

"Because if I do this one thing for you, I know it might . . . it might . . . kill your obsession for wanting a baby," explained Rainbow Dash.

"I don't understand. I thought you were going to shout at me." Fluttershy felt happiness growing inside of her, although she wasn't sure about Rainbow Dash and what she was getting herself into.

"I would never shout at you . . . I mean, it’d kill me if I yelled at you like that." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"But what I asked of you . . . it's just so sick and crazy. Why would you want me to treat you like a baby?" Fluttershy's heart couldn't contain the wonder and amazement within her.

"It's to kill this silly obsession and, well, I'm bored. I haven't got anything to do until next week because of the race. It's not like I haven’t gotten myself into strange situations before, like that party that me and Big Ma–"

"I feel very stupid for asking you this," Fluttershy interrupted.

"Hey, at least we’re gonna have an interesting weekend" giggled Rainbow Dash.

"It's up to you. I mean . . . I've never put a diaper on an adult before. I don't know if it's any different from a baby or not." Fluttershy panicked, and stood up in front of Rainbow Dash.

"My hips are pretty sleek. I'm sure you can figure something out." Rainbow Dash put her hands on Fluttershy's hips.

"I don't know why you want to do this. It might be embarrassing for you." Fluttershy blushed; she felt a small tingle of joy when Rainbow Dash put her hands on her hips.

"It's to kill off your silly obsession! I'm always there for you, aren't I?” Rainbow gave her friend a huge grin.

"Yes," said Fluttershy with a small giggle.

"So . . ." Rainbow Dash scratched the back of her head. "What now?"

Fluttershy's only response was a very big smile.

"Welcome to my nursery," Fluttershy quietly announced.

Rainbow Dash had followed Fluttershy upstairs back into her bedroom to see that she had been working away in the small nursery to move around some of the toys and supplies as fast as she could in an effort to clean up the room. Rainbow Dash noticed the wooden crib and the large changing table that stood next to it.

The carpet on the floor had images of the alphabet and random numbers that an infant would gaze at in order to learn. The wallpaper was bright and colorful, with crayon filled rainbow colors. Fluttershy really had been using her spare time effectively and had created a perfect nursery for any child to play in.

Toys were littered all around the floor even after Fluttershy had cleared the room.

Fluttershy tapped her friend on the shoulder gently. “Rainbow Dash?”

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash came back into reality after examining the nursery and looked toward Fluttershy.

"Could you, um . . . please sit on the changing table? If that's okay with you . . ." The demure girl blushed as she asked this.

"Er . . . can we just talk this out for a minute?” Rainbow Dash fidgeted nervously.

"Is something wrong? Have I done something bad?" Fluttershy asked worriedly.

"No, it's just . . . I didn't expect you to actually put the diaper on me. I thought I would just, y'know, put it on in private. In the bathroom, I mean." Rainbow Dash felt a little bit nervous; she didn't expect Fluttershy to be so quick about wanting her to be babified.

"Oh. I see." Fluttershy blushed even more.

"Listen, can I just do it this one time in private?" Rainbow Dash felt a little worried.

"Sure. I’ll be waiting in here for you." Fluttershy smiled weakly. She walked over to the changing table, picked up one of the "Babiez Absorbent" diapers and then timidly handed it to Rainbow Dash.

"If you need any help, just tell me." Fluttershy reminded Rainbow Dash, who was already walking out of the nursery.

"I think I can figure this thing out." Rainbow Dash tried her best to smile.

Rainbow Dash opened the bathroom door. As soon as she set foot in the room she was smacked in the face with a lovely scent of lavender and rosemary. She looked around and saw that Fluttershy had put some flowers in a small vase to freshen up the bathroom. Dash then turned on the light and saw a little clothing rack in between the toilet and the bath tub. She entered the small room, and then let out a massive sigh, feeling anger and irritation well up within her chest.

She sat down on the toilet seat holding the folded diaper in her hand. Her heart was aching, with a strange, sickly feeling that she hadn't encountered since her college days. Using her thumbs to feel the soft plastic material that the diaper was covered in, she was thinking about why she would agree with Fluttershy about this being entirely a good idea.

"Can't believe that she thinks she is going to look after me like a baby. I can't just let me reputation and pride get thrown out of the window like that. What is she thinking?!" Rainbow Dash shook her head in response to the thought. She stared at the diaper even more trying to think of what to do next.

"But I can't let Fluttershy down,” she thought. “If I don't do this for her, she might get even more obsessed with this crap. I guess it can't hurt just to do this for one day and then forget about it." She wrestled with her mind, trying to get over the desire to run away and never look back. She hadn’t done this much mental dueling since she struggled with the decision to go to college.

Suddenly panic set in. She glanced around nervously, thinking to herself, "But what if she

tells anyone about what we did together? It'll be the end of me! I’ll never be able to live it

down!" She stared harder at the diaper.

A loud knocking on the door echoed throughout the bedroom. Rainbow Dash came back

to reality and felt a shock wave of terror ride her body like a lightning bolt. She quickly stood up

and dropped the diaper onto the hard marble floor, her eyes wide with fear.

Fluttershy could be heard on the other side of the door. "I'm really sorry Rainbow Dash,

but do you need any help with that diaper? It's just that . . . um . . . you are taking a long time and

I'm worried that you aren’t sure how to put it on."

Rainbow Dash kept silent for a moment, waiting for Fluttershy to speak again.

"I know you might be a little shy about putting a diaper on, and I understand if you are a little worried about the whole baby idea. I'm sorry for that. I just want to say that you are making me really happy by doing this. I can learn about looking after a real baby and I can say that you are my best friend for understanding what I am going through. I'll just go back to the nursery until you are ready to come out, okay?"

Rainbow Dash felt a weight come down on her sharp athletic shoulders. She had two thoughts in her head that would condemn her, one saying that she would be tormented for life about this whole situation. But more prevalent was the thought that helping friends in need during their worst times is a massive sign of friendship. She knew it would either be a good friendship report for Twilight, or it would be a scar on her own reputation and social status.

"The things I do for friendship . . ." Rainbow Dash groaned. She looked down at the diaper, and after a few seconds’ hesitation she picked it up.

It was going to be a very long day.

"Do you think Rainbow Dash will come out of the bathroom, Mr. Snuggles?" Fluttershy asked the brown teddy bear with a pink ribbon on top of its head.

Fluttershy sitting on top of the changing table waiting for Rainbow Dash to return wearing the diaper she was given. She had in her hands her favorite teddy bear.

She forced it to sit down on her lap as she guided its head to make it look like it was looking directly at her face.

"I don't know, Fluttershy. Maybe she is a scaredy cat!" Fluttershy imitated a childish voice for the teddy bear, as if she were conversing with a small child.

"I don't think she would be scared about putting a diaper on, Mr. Snuggles. She is one of

the Elements of Harmony you know, and she is a very brave girl." Fluttershy giggled as she

replied to her teddy bear.

"I bet she's just crying in the bathroom right now!" Mr. Snuggles shouted.

"That's not very nice," Fluttershy replied.

"Right . . . I'm here," said Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy looked up to see her friend standing under the door frame. She was wearing

her somewhat revealing tank top and as well as her blue jeans, though Fluttershy noticed a very

small bulge in her pants.

"Did you . . . ?" Fluttershy began.

Rainbow Dash silently nodded, feeling gravely embarrassed. She lowered her left hand and rubbed the front of her pants. Fluttershy heard the diaper crinkling, and it gave her a very big smile.

"You are a very brave Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy said to reassure her friend.

"Yeah . . ." Rainbow Dash looked at the ground.

An odd silence followed as Rainbow Dash looked away from Fluttershy.

"Um . . . how does the diaper feel?" said Fluttershy, breaking the silence.

Rainbow Dash looked up at Fluttershy dead in the eyes. "It feels . . . comfy." She blushed, although she wasn't smiling.

"As long as my baby is happy, then we can start." Fluttershy smiled.

"Sorry?" Rainbow Dash did a double-take.

"As long as my baby is happy, then we can start," repeated Fluttershy.

"Did she just call me baby?" said a voice in Rainbows head, confused and scared.

"Oh, okay," Rainbow Dash mumbled.

Fluttershy hopped off the changing table and walked over to Rainbow Dash, sneaking a glance at the bulge in her denim jeans.

"Do you mind lying on top of the changing table?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash.

"I don't know." Rainbow Dash felt a little sick.

"I'll do it as quick as I can." Fluttershy blushed.

"Okay, let's get this over with.”

Rainbow Dash climbed on to the top of the climbing table and sat down on the hard plastic surface. She felt the diaper that she was wearing rub across her legs as the smooth plastic started to crinkle rather loudly, which brought more pain and embarrassment.

"Lie down." Fluttershy instructed.

Rainbow Dash followed the order and slowly lowered her body on the thin plastic- covered foam surface. She looked down to the bulge in her trousers, then at Fluttershy on the opposite end of the table.

Fluttershy reached over to the button on Rainbow Dash's pants, and then unbuttoned them and pulled down the zipper until her new diaper was visible. Fluttershy happily gasped at the sight; she had actually put on the diaper. It made her heart melt like butter.

"Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Yeah?" she replied.

Fluttershy looked at her friend and smiled. "Thank you for doing this."

Rainbow Dash smiled back in return. “No prob.”

Fluttershy gripped the bottom of both pants legs and started to pull, watching Rainbow Dash's trousers slowly slide down her thin, athletic legs, which made her blush more than ever. There was a small silence between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. The blue-clad girl needed to know a few things that simmered in the back of her mind. It felt awkward not talking to Fluttershy as she strangely tried to remove her pants to check her diaper, something you just didn't see every day.

Rainbow Dash broke the silence.

“Fluttershy?”

"Yes, Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy answered.

"I want to ask you a few questions . . . before we go ahead with this baby thing." Rainbow Dash blushed and tried not to look Fluttershy in the eye.

"What's wrong?" Fluttershy felt a little shiver ring down her back, and her smile faded from her face.

"How long will I be doing this?" Rainbow Dash asked, crossing her arms.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy didn't understand the question.

"How long will I be your baby for?" Rainbow Dash blushed at the sound of her saying what she had just said.

"Oh." Fluttershy realized what she meant. "You'll only be my baby for a few hours."

"Could you be a little more specific?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"You're free to go after you have had nap time." Fluttershy explained.

"Okay." Rainbow Dash nodded. "Are you going to humiliate me? Y'know, send me out in public dressed in stupid dresses and bonnets wrapped around my head and stuff?" She frowned, hoping for a direct and honest answer.

Fluttershy blushed. She didn't plan at all to take Rainbow Dash out of the house, but the idea of that made her think of what people would say to her.

"Oh no! I'd never do that!" Fluttershy explained.

"I was just wondering. I don't want to go outside looking like some little kid and having Applejack or Rarity see me like this. It would be the end of my reputation,” explained Rainbow Dash, sitting up in order to look Fluttershy in the eye.

“Rainbow Dash,” said Fluttershy after a moment. “You know I would never betray your trust. You’re my best friend, and I want you to be happy. I would never knowingly do something which would hurt you like that. Now could you please lie back down on the changing table for me?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Sure." Rainbow Dash groaned, putting her hand up to her head and rubbing her eyes. Finally after what felt like an eternity, Rainbow Dash was lying on the changing table wearing just her trusty tank top and a baby diaper, feeling the plethora of imminent humiliation coming from Fluttershy and knowing that the slightest giggle would kill her soul.

"Good baby," Fluttershy praised, putting down the pair of pants on one of the clothing racks next to the onesie that Rainbow Dash had found in the cardboard box earlier that morning.

Rainbow Dash cleared her throat and began to speak. "Fluttershy . . . I've been thinking a little . . ."

"Yes?" Fluttershy acknowledged as she continued to move Rainbows clothing onto the rack, then making her way to one of the baby drawers.

Rainbow Dash lay still on the changing table, trying to think of what to say. "I was thinking of some rules."

"For what?" Fluttershy asked, still continuing her work through the drawer.

"So we don't go totally overboard with this whole baby thing," Rainbow Dash said.

Fluttershy turned around holding something in her hand. It was small, round and it had a rubber tip of the end of it. The item was a crayon pink color, and it made Rainbow Dash's heart skip a beat.

"Wait! No, I'm not going to use that." Rainbow Dash objected. She quickly tried to sit up and move off the table, but Fluttershy was standing in the way.

"Why not?" Fluttershy asked.

"I thought you said just the diaper and that's it! You didn't say anything about pacifiers!" shouted Rainbow Dash, still lying down on the table in her crinkly diaper.

"But babies always suck pacifiers." Fluttershy objected.

Rainbow Dash was silent; could her big red blush get any bigger?

"If you mean rules in that type of way, I already have that planned out. You don't have to worry about writing down a list of rules." Fluttershy put the pacifier on the changing table and walked over to a small cupboard that was on the wall. She opened it up, reached inside and pulled out a small book with pictures on it.

"What's that?" asked Rainbow Dash. She had started to rub her crotch area on her diaper to feel up the plastic, blushing as she did.

"It's a book on how to look after little babies like you." Fluttershy looked at the book; it was a purple book with layers circling around the edges. There were small images of baby bonnets, bottles, pacifiers and diapers scattered all over the book.

"Why do you have a book?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I got this book from Twilight at the library. She used this exact book when she adopted Spike." Fluttershy smiled.

"That egghead would know how to do anything with a book," smirked Rainbow Dash as she rolled her eyes.

"The book had lessons on how to look after a baby, and I uh . . . want to start over and do lessons one through four with you." Fluttershy blushed.

"What do you mean, start over?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I’ve read the whole book, and I wanted to start over..." Fluttershy held the book tightly. Rainbow Dash sighed.

"Okay, what's the first lesson?" she asked.

"Lesson Number One: Ground Rules" Fluttershy read out loud as she slowly walked over to Rainbow Dash, who was still lying down on the changing table.

"What are the ground rules?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Babies must be in diapers at all times, so no accidents happen." Fluttershy read out.

"You think I'm going actually use my diaper?"

"Well . . . if you want to. I mean, it would be a good experience for me in changing a baby’s diaper," said Fluttershy timidly.

"Oh." Rainbow Dash sighed. "I'm not going to use this diaper. You can just forget about that." Rainbow Dash said adamantly.

"I understand. I think it would be pretty hard to use a diaper." Fluttershy said.

"Hard to use? It's just a pair of underwear that you can use as a toilet." Rainbow Dash argued back. "You can continue those rules that you were talking about.”

"Babies need to be accompanied with a parent or a caregiver." Fluttershy paused for a moment. "Oh," she blushed. "That must be me,” she said with a giggle.

"Obviously," Rainbow Dash replied sarcastically.

Fluttershy continued to read out loud. "Babies sometimes need pacifiers to help them with their teething problems. Note: pacifiers can also be used to calm down and relax a baby."

"Okay."

"Let’s begin." Fluttershy put the book down and looked at Rainbow Dash.

"What are you going to do first?" Rainbow Dash asked, afraid of what was going to happen next.

Fluttershy looked at the book again and ran her finger down one of the pages to find the correct piece of information she was looking for.

"I'm going to check your diaper," she announced.

"Oh no. You aren't going to see me naked!" Rainbow Dash put her hands over the large diaper tapes, covering them up so Fluttershy wouldn't untape them and see her naked body.

"It's not like that." Fluttershy blushed as she covered her mouth with her hand. "I was going to check your diaper to see if you put the tapes on correctly." She squeaked.

“Huh?”

"I was uh . . . going to check the tapes to see if they were put on properly." She paused for a minute and looked away from Rainbow Dash before looking back. "Sorry for the misunderstanding.”

"It's nothing. Just do what you got to do." Rainbow Dash groaned.

"Okay." Fluttershy nodded, she understood what she had to do.

Fluttershy leaned over the changing table to get a closer look at how Rainbow Dash had put on her diaper, and she saw that the diaper tapes were improperly positioned; they weren't showing on the front of the diaper as they were usually supposed to be. When Fluttershy looked at Rainbow Dash's figure however, she couldn't stop admiring how sleek and toned Dash's body was and how the diaper hugged her backside perfectly. “A perfect fit,” Fluttershy thought.

The girl reached over and undid the left diaper tape, then lifted it up and slowly pulled it to the landing zone of the diaper as much as she could until it would stretch no more. She pressed it down and noticed immediately difference in the diaper. It was much tighter and far more secure. She repeated the process with the right diaper tape, stretching it towards the opposite side.

Fluttershy admired her diaper work. She used to use her diapers on the animals that appeared from time to time when they had problems of their own, and she loved it when she perfectly accomplished diapering them.

"All done!" Fluttershy sang, clapping her hands in self-praise.

"Fluttershy . . . it's so tight!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash, lying down helplessly on the changing table.

"That's because we don't want any accidents." Fluttershy leaned over to the other side of the table, picked up the pink pacifier and put it near Rainbow Dash’s mouth.

"What are you doing?!" Rainbow Dash yelled, pushing Fluttershy’s arm away while trying to get up from the changing table once more.

"Babies use pacifiers, it says in the book." Fluttershy replied, still holding the ring of the pacifier in her hand.

"I don't want this to go too far! I don't want to use pacifiers and baby bottles if that's what you're thinking!" Rainbow Dash objected and crossed her arms as she pouted.

"Please . . ." Fluttershy whimpered. "Just for me." The poor girl looked at the floor in disappointment.

Rainbow Dash looked at Fluttershy for a moment, feeling the sudden regret over her rash behavior. She had gotten so far, and yet she didn't even want to start. She just knew the whole situation wouldn't end well. But she also knew that Fluttershy was depending on her, and that thought alone made her even think about agreeing to this.

"Oh fine!" Rainbow Dash agreed.

"Yay!" exclaimed Fluttershy with her trademark squeal. She quickly put the pacifier into Rainbow Dash’s hands and reached for the book. "Put this in your mouth." Fluttershy continued. Rainbow Dash looked nervously at the small, pink object, then slowly put the pacifier into her mouth, although secretly trying to push it out and hoping not to taste the terrible rubber tip of the other side of the pacifier.

She felt a little gagged when the pacifier went into her mouth, and used her tongue to lubricate the rubber tip with her saliva. She just looked at Fluttershy.

"Could you start . . . uh . . . start suckling?" Fluttershy blushed.

Rainbow Dash hesitated for a moment, then started to suckle on the pacifier rather slowly. Fluttershy’s eyes went wide like saucers as she watched Rainbow Dash suckling on the pacifier. As she started to get used to the feeling of the rubber tip in her mouth, she started making loud suckling noises. Fluttershy just giggled.

"Good girl, Dashie," praised Fluttershy.

She then got off the changing table and turned back to Rainbow Dash, then held her hand out. Rainbow Dash calmly accepted, still suckling on the pacifier. Fluttershy helped Rainbow Dash stand up.

"It's time to go downstairs," Fluttershy said with a smile.

She put her arm round Rainbow Dash and directed her towards the door outside of the nursery.

"Now be a good baby and make your way downstairs. We are going to have so much fun!" Fluttershy squeaked.

Rainbow Dash smiled back at her nervously. “Heh . . . sure.”

Chapter Three

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter Four

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had made their way upstairs, wondering what to do in their spare time Fluttershy came up with the idea of "play time". Going upstairs back into the nursery to play games and mess around with the toys that resided in the toy chest, Rainbow Dash was a little nervous, she herself knew that wearing a diaper, using a pacifier and drinking from a baby bottle is easy. Using baby toys around others is going to be a challenge in itself.

"Do you want to play with some toys?" Fluttershy cooed, she softly held Rainbow Dash's arm as if to support her because of her apparent weak infantile legs.

"I guess it's something to do." Rainbow Dash said.

"There is some building blocks and even some lego blocks in the toy chest in the nursery, I bet you would like to play with them." Fluttershy cooed.

"I haven't played with lego bricks in years Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash laughed.

"Great! We can build a little lego house together!" Fluttershy squeaked.

"Yeah sure." Rainbow Dash smiled.

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash made it to the front of the nursery door, Fluttershy took the liberty and opened the door for her baby. Rainbow Dash walked into the nursery and looked around waiting for Fluttershy to take the next move, Rainbow Dash looked at the changing table, the crib and the toy chest that was currently locked.

"What now?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy.

"First, I will open the toy chest and you can get some of your toys out and play with them." Fluttershy said.

"What's inside the chest?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Rarity gave me some of her sisters old baby toys, she said she was going to throw them away in the trash but I stopped her and asked if I could have the toys for myself." Fluttershy explained.

"I'm guessing she was a little freaked out about why then?" Rainbow Dash crossed her arms.

"Yes, but only for a while. I told her my obsession and she agreed to help me as long as I go to the spa with her on Thursdays. It was a very short conversation we had." Fluttershy said.

"I bet that was an interesting conversation." Rainbow Dash sarcastically replied.

"What do you want to play with first?" Fluttershy asked her baby.

"Don't know." Rainbow Dash shrugged her shoulders.

"How about some lego bricks?" Fluttershy cooed.

"Nah." Rainbow Dash nodded from side to side.

"Okay, uh... what about a plushy? Oh! Maybe some dollies!" Fluttershy kept on bringing on ideas.

"Dolls? I like toys, but I'm not that girly!" Rainbow Dash objected.

"Okay." Fluttershy sighed, feeling defeated. "What do you want to play with?" Fluttershy asked.

Rainbow Dash blushed, she crossed her arms and looked at the ground. Fluttershy stood there confused wondering what Rainbow Dash was thinking to herself.

"Is something wrong?" Fluttershy tapped Rainbow Dash on the shoulder.

"Can I..." Rainbow Dash paused.

Many thoughts conflicted in her head and it was starting to peel her apart, knowing the fact that she had been doing this baby act for Fluttershy nearly two hours and she hadn't been enjoying it at the very start, but as time progressed she realized that everything she was doing was making Fluttershy happy. Granted that she was humiliating herself in the process and it was killing her to even the point of crying, but she felt kind of happy that she took the free time to help Fluttershy with her problem and she was glad about it.

"... Play with you?" Rainbow Dash blushed.

Fluttershy stood still for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I don't understand..." Fluttershy whispered.

"I want to play a game with you." Rainbow Dash said.

"Y- You do?" Fluttershy leaned back, she was surprised at Dash's request. She was hoping for Rainbow Dash to play with her toys.

"Yeah, why don't we play something cool?" Rainbow Dash smiled.

"I have a couple of board games in the chest if you want to play with them." Fluttershy suggested.

"Nah, how about something normal? Something girly?" Rainbow Dash said.

"I thought you didn't like girly things." Fluttershy was confused.

"I changed my mind, I wanna try something different." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, okay. What would you like to do first?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash paused for a second, she didn't know what to say. She is a girl and she didn't really know anything girly, she mostly spent her time with the boys instead of the girls during her real childhood.

"I dunno, what do girls do in girly situations?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy.

"Brush hair, play with girls toys, talk about stuff." Fluttershy listed out with her fingers one at a time.

"Tell you what, I haven't brushed my hair in ages, I just let it go with the flow." Rainbow Dash said, she put her hands on her head and dug her fingers into her hair and rustled her rainbow colored hair.

"Shall I brush it for you?" Fluttershy asked her friend.

"Sure, whatever." Rainbow Dash shrugged her arms.

"Okay baby, just lie down on my bed in my room and I will brush your head in a minute. Mommy is going to prepare something for you." Fluttershy smiled at her baby, she reached for her pacifier that was in Rainbow Dash's hands and inserted back into her mouth. Soon after Rainbow Dash started to suckle on the pacifier and slowly walked out of the room. Fluttershy caught a glimpse of Rainbow Dash's diapered behind and she couldn't help but giggle at the tight fit.

"I'm just also going to say that I'm not wearing any dresses!" Rainbow Dash turned around and leaned against the doorway, she looked at Fluttershy who was busy packing away some of the baby supplies that were on the changing table into their correct cupboards and drawers.

Fluttershy immediately paused her actions and looked up at Rainbow Dash who was still standing in the middle of the doorway, her arms were crossed and she was tapping her foot off the ground.

"I wouldn't do such a thing... only if you... umm... wanted to..." Fluttershy blushed. "But the baby clothes like the onesies, rompers and umm... the dresses only fit babies..." Fluttershy continued.

"Don't sweat it, I'm just sayin' that I don't want to wear frilly girls dresses." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, okay." Fluttershy nodded, she began to continue with her job of cleaning up the nursery. "You can sit down on my bed for a minute, mommy will be with you soon." Fluttershy said.

"Sure." Rainbow Dash said and walked out of the nursery.

"I'm sorry for taking too long Rainbow Dash, I just couldn't couldn't choose between dolls or lego bricks for you and I-" Fluttershy walked out of the nursery holding a very large dolly in her left hand, and a plastic container full of lego bricks in her right hand. She looked over to the other side of her bedroom and saw Rainbow Dash lying on her bed, she couldn't see what she was doing as she had her back facing to the rest of the room. Rainbow Dash had her face hidden and she was facing the wall.

"Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy lowered her voice, she was curious at what Rainbow Dash was doing. "Are you okay?" Fluttershy whispered.

Fluttershy slowly made her way towards her bed and saw that Rainbow Dash was lying down on her bed in a very strange position. It looked like she was curled up into a ball position.

"Oh..." Fluttershy blushed, she slowly placed down the toys on the floor and walked over to sit down on her bed slowly, trying not to awaken her precious little baby. "...How precious..." She giggled.

Fluttershy slowly moved towards her bed and gently reached out her pale hand and lightly rested it on Rainbow Dash's shoulder and slowly shook her from side to side in an attempt to wake her up without startling her from a sudden wake-up.

"Rainbow Dash, it's time to wake up little baby..." Fluttershy cooed to her friend, she kept on lightly shaking her friends shoulder from side to side until she woke up.

"I'm awake..." Rainbow Dash groaned, she quickly unwrapped her arms and covered her face from the bright light that shined in her face. She felt Fluttershy's hand on her shoulder and she knew it was a sign to wake up and get back up to being a baby.

"Good girl." Fluttershy lowered herself onto her bed and sat on her bed right next to Rainbow Dash she watched her friend get out of her sleeping position and sat upright next to Fluttershy still feeling dazed in her eyes.

"Wh-what happened?" Rainbow Dash yawned out loud, she rubbed her eyes still feeling the sharp pain of light flowing into her eyes.

"Does baby's eyes hurt from the light?" Fluttershy cooed, she wrapped her arm around Rainbow Dash and patted her on the back.

Rainbow Dash silently nodded up and down, she felt really relieved from sleeping but the problem was that she still had to do the whole baby thing with Fluttershy still.

"What time is it?" Rainbow Dash whispered to her friend.

"That doesn't matter baby, you still have toys to play with." Fluttershy smiled, she looked down at her friend and lightly hugged her.

"I couldn't help but fall asleep after all that jogging I did in the morning." Rainbow Dash rubbed both of her eyes and whispered to her friend.

"Jogging must take a lot of energy out of you." Fluttershy cooed.

"I guess..." Rainbow Dash lowered her head, she started to rub her eyes and began to yawn.

"I brought some toys for us to play with, if you want I will empty the bucket full of lego on the floor and you can make a really nice house for the dollies." Fluttershy pointed over towards the bucket of lego that was perfectly lying still on the ground, she also then moved her finger to point at one of the pink dolls that she also put on the ground.

"Fine, I play with the toys, only if you play with me." Rainbow Dash said.

"How come?" Fluttershy asked in a childish voice.

"So I don't look like an idiot while I'm making a house made out of lego." Rainbow Dash groaned out loud, Fluttershy instead kept on hugging her little baby.

"Anything to make you happy." Fluttershy smiled at her friend.

"Yeah... great..." Rainbow Dash huffed.

"Now." Fluttershy paused. "Make your way to the toys and play with them while I go downstairs and get you another bottle filled with some nice warm milk." Fluttershy cooed to her baby, she got up from her bed and began to walk towards the stairs on the other side of her bedroom, she stood at the very top of the stairs and turned around to look back at Rainbow Dash who was still sitting on the edge of her bed.

"Okay..." Rainbow Dash shrugged, she put her pacifier in her mouth and began to suck on it. She then lowered herself down to the floor and sat on her bottom. She then watched Fluttershy make her way downstairs and waited for the loud footsteps to stop. As soon as the footsteps from Fluttershy stopped and she was fully downstairs, Rainbow Dash slowly got on all fours like an animal and began to crawl like an infant towards the toys, even though no one was watching her she felt really stupid crawling to a bucket of lego and a pair of colorful dolls.

The first thing that Rainbow Dash did was reach over to the dolls that were lying on the floor, she picked one of them up and gave it a good inspection. It was a large doll that was nearly as big as her torso, the doll was made out of a hard plastic that would take a large force to snap or either break. The doll itself had long blonde hair that could be brushed with a plastic brush or even a real one. Most of the doll was covered in a very colorful pink frock that a little girl would wear. The shoes were little baby shoes that had a velcro strap on the top of them.

"This looks so stupid, what stupid girl would actually play with something like this? The teddy bear is better than these ugly dolls..." Rainbow Dash took her pacifier out of her mouth and let it dangle off from her necklace. She lifted up the doll into the air and chucked it across the room, causing it to land at the top of the stairs.

Rainbow Dash giggled to herself because she had thrown the doll across the room like a bad child, she liked what she just did and she wanted to do it again. She then leaned forward and grabbed the second doll and looked at it, she inspected it and saw that it was the same old doll as before although the pink frock was replaced with a yellow summer dress.

Rainbow Dash threw the doll across the room as she did with the first doll, the only difference was that she thrown it a little too hard and it began to tumble down the stairs like a slinky but without the actual slink.

"I'll just play with the lego." Rainbow Dash sighed, ignoring the fact that she threw both dolls near the stairs and one of them had fallen down to the bottom into the living room.

Rainbow Dash leaned forward and grabbed the handle on the end of the lego bucket and placed the bucket right in front of her legs where she was sitting down on the ground. She then quickly tipped the lego bucket over causing a massive tidal wave of lego bricks to spill out of the blue bucket.

"Sweet!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, feeling rather amused about the giant spill of lego bricks that spread themselves across the bedroom floor.

Rainbow Dash immediately pushed the bucket out of the way with quite a force, causing some of the remaining lego bricks to spill out even further across the bedroom. She crawled over to the giant pile of lego bricks and spread them out with her hands to try and find the correct pieces that she wanted, she found five two by two red bricks and managed to find a small pile of three by three red bricks.

The immediately started to stack the piles on top of each other and began to make a very short wall that would serve as one of the walls for the little lego house that she was going to make. She continued to search for even more matching lego pieces, especially the lego pieces that were colored red. There was too many to count and Rainbow Dash did her job in trying to separate half of the bricks so she could find the ones that she ultimately needed.

"Is my baby playing with her lego toys?" Fluttershy cooed, standing on the other side of the bedroom opposite to Rainbow Dash and her pile of lego bricks. Rainbow Dash turned her head to look at Fluttershy for a moment before she went back to building her red house made out of lego bricks.

"Do you want your bottle of warm milk?" Fluttershy walked over to her best friend and she saw the damage that she had done to the bedroom, she had thrown both of the pink dolls out of the way for the more interesting lego bricks. It was certainly a good idea of what little children and babies really love playing with. She finally got to Rainbow Dash and lowered herself so she could sit down on her knees.

"I'll drink it by myself." Rainbow Dash happily hummed, she was busy trying to make a floor for her little red house, she kept on leaning back and forth to the pile of lego that she spilled out of the bucket.

"I don't know baby, I have to look after you, remember?" Fluttershy moved the bottle away from Rainbow Dash and stuffed it in one of her trouser pockets.

"You let me drink from the bottle downstairs on my own, why can't you let me do it now?" Rainbow Dash turned around and stopped what she was doing, she looked at Fluttershy and she noticed that she had stuffed the baby bottle in one of her pockets.

"I just want you to lie down on my lap and I'll feed you like a little baby." Fluttershy smiled at her best friend.

Rainbow Dash looked back at her lego bricks and then looked back at Fluttershy who reached out her arms towards her little baby. So many ideas and so many thoughts about what she could do.

"I'll do it, but next time, I'll get to do it all by myself." Rainbow Dash crossed her arms and looked at Fluttershy in the eyes. She momentarily groaned at her friend as she got the baby bottle out of her pocket ready to feed her little baby.

Fluttershy pulled the baby bottle full of warm milk outside of her pocket and placed it on her lap, she leaned forward to grab Rainbow Dash's warm hand and she pulled her under towards her lap. Rainbow Dash followed to where Fluttershy was dragging her and saw that she she had to lean back, without any words she just complied and leaned back and rested her head onto Fluttershy's lap, Rainbow Dash gave a weak smile to her pink haired friend and brushed her hair out the way so she could get comfortable.

Fluttershy looked down and used her right hand to place her hand on the back on Rainbow Dash's head, she placed her fingers in the correct place and decided to rustle her hair around so even she would get comfortable. She then used her left hand to lower the baby bottle to Rainbow Dash's mouth and soon enough she began to suck on the bottle, causing quiet suckling sounds to emit from the tip of the amber nipple. Fluttershy couldn't believe what she was watching, she was feeding her own baby, she wished this moment would not stop for anything. The sunlight through the windows began to dim and the cold wind outside was the only noise for miles on end.

Rainbow Dash looked at the bottle that was stuffed in her mouth by Fluttershy, she had positioned the bottle into her mouth in a perfect angle that made Rainbow Dash feel comfortable. Rainbow Dash started to drink the milk slowly without taking too much energy from herself, she looked up at Fluttershy who in turn was looking back down at her and was smiling at her friend.

"See Rainbow Dash? It didn't take so long, you're such a good baby." Fluttershy praised her baby out loud.

"Yeah, thanks." Rainbow Dash blushed, she licked her lips to make sure there wasn't any milk left on her lips.

"Does baby need a burping?" Fluttershy asked her friend.

Rainbow Dash's eyes opened as wide as they could get, she immediately leaned up away from Fluttershy and turned around to her. She felt a massive grudging pain in her belly from all of the milk she had just drank.

"No... it's okay, I can do that myself..." Rainbow Dash stammered as she spoke, she blushed even harder than usual and crossed her arms and started to pout.

"Are you sure?" Fluttershy put her hands on her lap and patted herself.

"I'm sure!" Rainbow Dash yelled at her friend, she lifted up her hand and ruffled her hair and moved it our of the way of her eyesight and looked back at the pile of lego bricks that she made a few minutes ago and began picking up the pieces that she needed to restart her creation once again.

"Earlier you said that you wanted me to play with you and so I have the free time to play with my adorable baby... if that's okay with you..." Fluttershy blushed, she knew how Rainbow Dash was busy making a small lego house for herself and it looked like she was half-way done with the house, she had done a little lego house colored with the red bricks, it seemed that she had done the windows and all she needed was a front door.

"Sure, whatever. You can help me with this house or something..." Rainbow Dash offered her friend a chance to play with her toys, Rainbow Dash was starting to get bored playing on her own and she was glad that Fluttershy wanted to join in.

"So what does baby need doing first?" Fluttershy moved herself in position opposite to Rainbow Dash and the pile of lego that was on the floor, she sat down on her knees and watched Rainbow Dash place certain bricks and pieces together.

"I need to finish off the house obviously." Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh... okay..." Fluttershy blushed at her little mistake.

"Could you make me another house?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy.

"Oh... er... sure..." Fluttershy began picking up pieces of bricks and chose a color design for them, she picked up as many blue bricks as she could which was easy considering that most of the red bricks were gone and the pile of lego bricks had gone down. She began making a separate pile of blue lego bricks and began sticking them together piece by piece to make a wall.

The room was silent for a few minutes, both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy stopped their want to talk to each other and began to get more focused on the lego pieces instead, it was like they were more important than anything else. Rainbow Dash was having loads of fun with the lego, she snapped the pieces onto each other quickly and perfectly. Whereas Fluttershy was taking her time and twisting and turning the lego bricks round to make sure they fit into the right pieces.

After both of them finished their little houses, Rainbow Dash made a red brick house that was in the shape of a square, Fluttershy had made the same, yet only it was smaller and it was blue with a little hole in the walls to make it look like there was a window.

"I'm finished with my house, how about you Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash put her creation on the floor infront of her for a moment and looked up at Fluttershy who had done the same thing as her but with the blue bricks.

"This is quite fun, don't you think baby?" Fluttershy giggled.

"Yeah, sure." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

"Oh my..." Fluttershy squeaked.

"What?" Rainbow Dash looked up, she stopped what she was doing again to look at what Fluttershy was doing.

"I just forgot..." Fluttershy put her hands up to her mouth, her face began to flush a bright red and her eyes widened.

"What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at Fluttershy's all of a sudden panic.

"Look at the time!" Fluttershy squeaked, she turned around and pointed at the clock that was on her wall near the top of the stairs. The big hand was on the number twelve and the little hand was on number one.

"It's one o' clock?" Rainbow Dash shrugged her shoulders innocently.

"Don't worry little baby, I'll get your bed ready!" Fluttershy immediately rose up back on her feet and dropped all of the lego pieces that were on her lap, she quickly made her way towards the nursery and closed the door behind her.

"Bed?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at what Fluttershy had said.

Chapter Five

"Bed? What are you talking about?" Rainbow Dash crossed her arms, she got up from the floor and carelessly dropped her Lego toys on the ground, only a few pieces broke from the model house and Rainbow Dash started to waddle her way towards the nursery that Fluttershy went into, she then leaned her head into the doorway and took a peek at what Fluttershy was doing in the nursery.

"Fluttershy what are you doing?" Rainbow Dash took a step inside the nursery and saw what Fluttershy was properly doing, she was leaning down inside the crib that was on the side of the nursery, Rainbow Dash couldn't clearly see what she was doing in the crib because of one of the wooden posts were covering up her body and the rest of the crib.

"Oh umm..." Fluttershy leaned back up and regained her composure, she quickly looked at Rainbow Dash who was standing in between the door frames with her arms crossed and a rather puzzled at what she was doing. "I am sorting out your bed... you see... it's nearly... umm..." Fluttershy blushed a bright red.

"What? You want me to get in that crib?" Rainbow Dash pointed at the wooden crib, she walked over to Fluttershy and stood in front of her.

"OH... yes... you see... the time... is... umm..." Fluttershy couldn't find the right words.

"Nap time?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at Fluttershy.

"Yes." Fluttershy quickly nodded up and down.

"You want me to sleep in that crib?" Rainbow Dash calmly spoke to Fluttershy, she wasn't angry or upset at her pink haired friend.

"Uh-huh." Fluttershy quietly whispered she turned her head to look away from Rainbow Dash; she couldn't bear what was going on.

Rainbow Dash put her hand up to her head and rubbed her eyes; she quietly groaned to herself and opened her eyes again to look at her friend.

"Is this the last thing I have to do before all of this baby stuff is all over?" Rainbow Dash sighed out loud.

"Yes, I'm really sorry if you don't want to do it, if you don't want to and you would like to end this whole thing right now I wouldn't blame you. I'm really sorry..." Fluttershy felt a hand go onto her shoulder, she turned her head to look back at her friend and saw that Rainbow Dash had put her hand on Fluttershy's shoulder.

"Fluttershy..." Rainbow Dash said. "I've done weirder things in college if you remember, I went to the parties, I started a few fights in the tavern... heck I even had a fight with Applejack if you don't remember." Rainbow Dash tried to explain. "Dressing up in diapers and using a pacifier isn’t the weirdest thing to do, so far it's been a pretty rad experience if you ask me." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"R-rad?" Fluttershy didn't understand.

"I thought being a baby again was cool, I'm always used to going to all of these adult parties and I'm always spending time with Twilight or Pinkie Pie because of the stuff that's goin' on in their lives and I'm helpin' them get through some serious stuff, I thought it was pretty neat to relax and have no responsibilities for once." Rainbow Dash continued.

"I'm so glad I c-could help Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy began to stutter a little, but she managed to give off a small faint smile towards Rainbow Dash.

"You don't have to say thanks; I thought it was pretty fun. And I'll sleep in the crib if you want me to." Rainbow Dash smiled back at Fluttershy.

"You're such a good baby Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy gave a big hug to her friend and wrapped her arms around her chest and hugged her tightly.

"Don't worry about it." Rainbow Dash coughed, she also wrapped her arms around Fluttershy's chest and hugged her back.

"So you'll sleep in the baby crib... if you really want to that is... umm..." Fluttershy let go of Rainbow Dash and began to look away from her trying not to get embarrassed again.

"I'll do it, besides. I guess I need some rest after some of that jogging." Rainbow Dash shrugged, Fluttershy's face beamed up with the brightest smile that Rainbow Dash has ever seen. At least she was keeping Fluttershy happy until her hours of acting like an infant was over.

"Good girl, now just let me open up the crib and then you can crawl in." Fluttershy lowered herself and sat down on her knees to reach down for the small pad locks at the bottom of the cribs gate, she undone the pad locks with a simple flick of the switch and managed to unlock the crib gate, she pushed the entire gate up and it managed to create a small passage way for Rainbow Dash to crawl in and lie down for a good afternoons sleep.

"All I got to do is crawl in there, right?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy about the crib.

"Yes, once you are in I will cover you up with some warm blankets and I will give you your teddy bear to cuddle while you sleep." Fluttershy looked up at her diapered friend and gave a small smile, still holding the crib gate in place waiting for Rainbow Dash to climb inside.

"Aha, I don't want to sleep with the teddy bear if that's okay. I don't sleep with teddies anymore." Rainbow Dash blushed bright red.

"But you are still a little baby; you need something to cuddle up with while mommy is downstairs." Fluttershy asked her friend a question, Rainbow Dash looked turned her head and looked away for a moment and then turned back to Fluttershy.

"That might be so... but I don't want to sleep with a teddy bear... just this once." Rainbow Dash tried to calmly reason with her friend, trying not to upset her.

"It’s okay baby, I understand." Fluttershy nodded up and down.

Rainbow Dash started to lower herself and reach towards the passage way that Fluttershy made with the crib gate, she managed to get her torso and above into the crib so far, she felt a little stuck when it came to getting her legs in. Fluttershy moved back allowing Rainbow Dash to try and get inside the crib without too much trouble, but she saw that she was having a little bit of trouble getting her legs into the crib. Notably that the size of the crib wasn't meant for a girl of Dash's size at all, she couldn't help but giggle when Rainbow Dash wiggled her back-side to the left and to the right. Fluttershy used her strength and kept one of her hands on the crib gate and used the other to light push Rainbow Dash inside of the crib to help her get into sleeping position.

"Okay, I'm in." Rainbow Dash groaned, feeling like her body parts were starting to cramp because of the small size of the crib that she was lying in.

"Good girl." Fluttershy applauded her little baby.

"Yeah, yeah. Let me just get comfortable." Rainbow Dash said to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy gently let the crib gate slide downwards with it still in her hands, she let it slowly drop to the bottom and she started to re-attach the pad locks together so that Rainbow Dash wouldn't fall out of the crib during her sleep. She stood up and looked at Rainbow Dash inside of the crib, she noticed that there was more room in the crib that she originally thought it had. Rainbow Dash looked pretty comfortable and now was the final part of her job: putting her baby to sleep.

"So Fluts... how am I supposed to get to sleep in this thing?" Rainbow Dash laid down her head on the small blank white pillow that was in the crib, she wrapped herself up with the very small blanket that came with the crib and began to get comfortable in the small baby crib.

"I am going to sing you a little lullaby that will surely make you fall asleep." Fluttershy thought up of an idea.

"Lullaby? Those things don't work." Rainbow Dash chuckled; she crossed her arms at the back of her head and rested by looking at the ceiling.

"They are very relaxing and I think that it might help you feel more comfortable." Fluttershy said to her friend, standing over the crib and looking down at Rainbow Dash.

"Well... if you can get me to sleep then I guess you deserve a medal or something." Rainbow Dash chuckled once again.

"I just need to prepare the room." Fluttershy moved away from the crib and walked to the windows opposite the crib, she grabbed the wiring that controlled the curtains and pulled it down causing the thick navy blue curtains to shade the whole entire nursery with a strong blue shadow. Rainbow Dash leaned up and crossed her legs to see the sudden change in lighting and saw what Fluttershy was doing to the room.

"I see; you're trying to make the mood better for me." Rainbow Dash smirked; she nodded up and down impressed at what Fluttershy was doing.

"Yes my little baby, you should feel better when I start to sing my lullaby." Fluttershy said, she let go of the curtain wire and walked over back to the wooden crib and look back down at Rainbow Dash. She leaned forward over the crib and lowered her head towards Rainbow Dash.

"I feel comfortable, what are you going to sing?" Rainbow Dash asked her friend rather interested in what Fluttershy was going to sing.

"Well..." Fluttershy reached out and put her hand on her baby’s head, she slowly stroked her friend’s hair back and forth to calm her down. "I haven't sung this lullaby since Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo slept over my house during that little... well Cockatrice incident..." Fluttershy blushed a little.

"Did it make them go to sleep?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"Yes, they were perfect little angels." Fluttershy whispered to Rainbow Dash.

"Try me." Rainbow Dash smirked.

"Are you relaxed Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy asked her friend.

"I guess..." Rainbow Dash nodded up and down.

Fluttershy didn't respond to what Rainbow Dash said, she instead reached down to Rainbow Dash's chest and picked up the plastic handle to her pink pacifier and then slowly put it in Rainbow Dash's mouth, without telling to, Rainbow Dash began to suckle on the pacifier while making loud and adorable suckling noises.

"You don't have to talk now baby, your pacifier will help you calm down and sleep better." Fluttershy leaned back up and moved away from Rainbow Dash, she herself started to get back into position and she rested her head back on the pillow and started to wrap herself with the small blanket. Fluttershy waited until Rainbow Dash was perfectly comfortable and she cleared her throat and began to sing her lullaby.

"Hush now, quiet now

It's time to lay your sleepy head

Hush now, quiet now

It's time to go to bed."

As Fluttershy began to sing, Rainbow Dash felt something within her that she wasn't able to explain. Her eye lids began to feel heavy; she hadn't felt a strange feeling of being tired so much in a very long time since college. Rainbow Dash was falling asleep to a lullaby, the strangest thing ever. Fluttershy walked closer as she continued repeating her lullaby until Rainbow Dash fell fully asleep, she walked over to the crib and lowered herself and sat on her knees and looked at Rainbow Dash though the wooden bars.

"Did you like the lullaby Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy calmly whispered to her friend.

Rainbow Dash didn't reply, she sucked on her pacifier and weakly nodded at Fluttershy, only causing a small smile to Fluttershy.

"When you wake up, you will be grown-up again and you can go back to your daily routines and I will continue on with my job of looking after the animals. You have been a very good baby and I loved every moment being with you." Fluttershy put her hand through the wooden bars of the crib and stroked Rainbow Dash's cheek. Fluttershy perfectly run her fingers down Dash's cheek and it was set. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and she stopped suckling her pacifier as it slowly fell out of her mouth with a small trail of drool escaping from within the inside of her mouth.

"Sweet dreams Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy whispered, she moved her hand away from Rainbow Dash and stood up back on her feet. She now decided that her role was finished, she looked after her own baby, she diapered her, fed her, played with her, took her to bed, sung a lullaby and even watched her fall asleep. Her job was finally done; she didn't want it to end. But she had a deal with Rainbow Dash to let her go when she wakes up.

"Time to clean up." Fluttershy whispered under her breath, she walked out of the nursery and closed the door behind her so that no sound would disrupt her precious baby with the valuable sleeping time left.

Fluttershy walked over to her bed and saw that her bedroom was in a big mess, the dolls were all over the place because of Rainbow Dash and the blue lego bucket that was in the middle of the floor, the lego bricks were in the same spilt over position as they were when Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy stopped playing with them. The two little lego houses that both of them made were lying down on the floor.

She leaned down and picked both of them up and walked over to one of the shelves that was nailed to her wall, she placed the little lego houses next to her photo frame which had pictures of all of her friends including a cut-out of her little bunny rabbit Angel.

Rain started to pour down from the sky, a slight crackle of thunder high above the clouds raged a massive echo, breaching through the cottage walls, startling Fluttershy like no other. The clouds darkened and the sun hid its face from the rest of the world. Fluttershy took small steps to her bedroom window and saw that the world around her started to darken in an instant.

Fluttershy began to imagine what would happen if the thunder woke up her little baby, she would have had the perfect chance to use her lullaby to calm her down after waking up. But from experience and knowing Rainbow Dash, she is a very heavy sleeper and it would take a very loud bang to wake her up.

She turned around and looked back down at the mess of lego, the light in her house turned on all by themselves and she began to clean up the giant pile of lego bricks that Rainbow Dash made earlier, like a brush she scooped up the bricks with her hands and began to put the pieces into the blue bucket. She scanned the area to make sure there was no stray pieces lying around that could be tripped on. Fluttershy picked up the buckets lid and clicked it onto the top of the lid.

She picked up the bucket by the handle and proceeded to walk back into the nursery, taking a quieter take as she walked inside trying her best not to wake up Rainbow Dash in her happy slumber. She placed the bucket full of lego on one of the nursery shelves right next to a plush of a pink elephant.

Fluttershy quickly scurried along and left the nursery to complete her final chore for the day before going downstairs to enjoy a nice cup of tea and watch TV for the next few minutes until Rainbow Dash wakes up on her own. She walked into her bedroom and picked up one of the dolls that were left lying on the top of the staircase that obviously was put there by Rainbow Dash when she was playing with the lego bricks; she turned to her bed and saw Mr. Snugglebuns lying on her bed where Rainbow Dash was trying to sleep earlier.

She too picked it up and walked back into the nursery for a final time, putting the dolls one of the many shelves that were found on the nursery walls. She turned to see that Rainbow Dash was perfectly asleep in her little crib, it was an adorable sight. Fluttershy walked over to the crib with her teddy bear in hand and saw the perfect place to put Mr. Snugglebuns in between Rainbow Dash's arms, she had a piece of her blanket wrapped around her arms as if it were the teddy bear itself. Fluttershy moved the blanket out of the way and placed Mr. Snugglebuns into Rainbow Dash's arms, immediately after he was placed into her arms she began to tighten her grip on the teddy bear whilst in her sleep.

"Sweet dreams." Fluttershy kissed her hand and then placed her hand on Rainbow Dash's cold cheek.

Chapter Six

Later that day...

The sun was shining, the birds were out. A slow breeze of cold fresh air swept its way across the area; the leaves on the trees began to sway from side to side. Everything was perfect, the weather, the atmosphere, the mood and even the feelings that Rainbow Dash was going through. She walked down the gravel path in the middle of the Rumsville Park, to her left was a group of children who were playing various games such as tag, hide and seek and catch the ball. Rainbow Dash smiled under the protection and secrecy of her hoodie, shading her face and the sight of some of the children that she was looking at. She tugged on her hoodie to cover up her face once more; she looked to her right and saw something completely different.

She saw a family sitting down on one of the available benches that were scattered around the Rumsville Park; she saw that both children were happily eating away at the sandwiches that their parents gave them to eat. Rainbow Dash couldn't help but giggle at the sight of a caring and loving family looking after their children on a nice sunny day in the middle of the park.

Rainbow Dash felt a slight twitch in her mouth, it was a familiar twitch that she had been having since she visited Fluttershy. Her lips quivered and her lips began to twitch even more than the first twitch, she needed something, and she knew what she needed to do.

Rainbow Dash reached for one of the pockets that were on the front her hoodie, she dipped her hand into her hoodie pocket and rummaged around for something that she really needed. It wasn't something serious, and it wasn't something that should be questioned. She managed to rummage through her pocket to find the item that she was looking for, it was made out of plastic and the tip of it was made out of a thick rubber. A sense and feeling of happiness and accomplishment was over throwing Rainbow Dash, causing her to giggle.

The pulled the object out of her pocket, revealing the same pacifier that Fluttershy gave Rainbow Dash some time ago. Rainbow Dash quickly looked from the left and to the right. Hoping that no one would notice what she is about to do with the small pink pacifier.

Rainbow Dash quickly grabbed onto the handle of the pink pacifier and lifted it up towards her mouth, which it happily invited. Rainbow Dash put the pacifier into her mouth and proceeded to suckle on the rubber tip. Reminding her of the previous events that she went through this early afternoon, she looked around as she sucked onto the pacifier taking note of the people she had walked past. No one took notice to a teenage girl sucking on a pacifier like a happy infant, Rainbow Dash felt a little more secure in herself and she proceeded to grab hold of her hoodie and pull on it to move a little more shade across her face, protecting the pacifier from the open world.

After a while, Rainbow Dash began to feel rather tired after her little walk around the park, a few minutes ago she had just finished her run around parts of Rumsville for the big upcoming race. Keeping in shape for when the time comes of the bet with Applejack and her stash of apple cider. She walked through the park feeling a small pain in her legs; she saw a small park bench over on the other side of her location. She walked over to the wooden park bench and decided it was the place to rest her worn out legs.

Rainbow Dash turned around and sat down on the wooden park bench, she felt a small damp spot from where the rain had not dried up, she continued to suck on her pacifier that Fluttershy gave her and it was starting to wear her out. And she could feel her eyes starting to get heavier and heavier as it all went along. She looked around and checked her surroundings to make sure she wasn't being watched, still keeping her hoodie down to preserve her pacifier from the outside world. Thinking it was a good idea; Rainbow Dash slowly closed her eyes and began to dream of the events that had happened recently with Fluttershy.

The diapers, the teddy bears, the pacifier, the bibs, being looked after, no responsibilities, childish fun, free food, free drinks. And most importantly free love and affection from her best friend: Fluttershy.

Certain images and pieces of her mind began to replay like an old video tape, showing off the best of the best. Not being able to be re-done in the future. Once in a life time Rainbow Dash felt a soaring happiness that she had never felt from anyone other than her parents.

All calming, the children's giggles and playful shouts to the sky, the soft wind blowing across her face, her comfortable cyan hoodie, and the pacifier lodged in her mouth. All peaceful... too peaceful.

Rainbow Dash leaned down onto the rest of the park bench, taking up more space, if not. All of it. Lying on the park bench as if she was lying on her own bed back at home. She started to relay the images of today's experience and would treasure them forever. Resting herself into a deep sleep in the middle of a public area.

"Dashie... it's time to wake up..." A soft and quiet voice rang through Dash's ears like silk; her deep sleep was disturbed, yet so refreshing to say the least.

"It's four o' clock baby; it's time to wake up." She said once again, breaking more of Dash's concentration to sleep, awaking her back into reality where time would move on and so would this moment.

Rainbow Dash opened her eyes, thinking to be greeted by the bright shine of the light from the blazing sun. She was wrong. The nursery was dark, the shadows had over taken it and there was barely any light to see the way forward. Rainbow Dash yawned out loud, to alert Fluttershy that her precious baby has woken up and is ready for the rest of the day.

"Did my baby get enough sleep in her crib?" Fluttershy childishly spoke to the half-awake Rainbow Dash. Feeling that her senses were back into action, she felt a strange rubber in her mouth, without her control or even though. She began to suck on it just like her pacifier. Fluttershy leaned down the crib and put her hand on Rainbow Dash's shoulder and felt her soft skin, it was very cold, and it felt like she had left an ice cube rest onto the top of her cheek to freeze her.

"Wha- what's going on?" Rainbow Dash groggily asked; confused and dazed about her surroundings and what was going on entirely, she opened her eyes to feel her fatigue take the most out of her eye sight. Everything was a little blurry and Fluttershy's pink hair was the first thing that stood out in the nursery.

"Its okay baby, take your time. You just need a minute to wake up and catch your strength." Fluttershy sweetly cooed to her baby.

Rainbow Dash's vision became more and more clear as time went by, she didn't move at all. She felt something fluffy wrapped around her arms, looking down a little to see that she was holding onto a very familiar teddy bear that she started to remember. It was Mr. Snuggle buns. The teddy bear that she sworn to look after and protect for Fluttershy.

"You had a very good nap baby; you slept all the way through the afternoon like a little sleepy head." Fluttershy smiled at her baby in the crib.

"Wh- What time is it?" Rainbow Dash let go of the teddy bear and put her hands up to her face, masking herself from the small crack of light coming through the window curtains. She then rubbed her eyes with her fingers to remove the shining pain within her eyes.

"It's four o' clock Rainbow Dash, it's time to get dressed and go home." Fluttershy cooed once again, sounding less happy at the idea of letting Rainbow Dash back out into town, having no one to look after anymore now that her time was up.

"Is it- that early already?" Rainbow Dash yawned; she loosened herself and stretched her arms, facing them up into the air.

"Time to get you out of the crib and check your diaper." Fluttershy leaned back and stood upright; she then proceeded to lean down near the floor and began to undo the pad-locks on the bottom of the crib, allowing a large passage for Rainbow Dash to crawl out of the crib to be opened.

"I'm really hungry..." Rainbow Dash tiredly giggled to herself, she began to lift herself up into a crawling position, although it was pretty hard. After sleeping for a good few hours, it felt like her body was heavier than it already was and it made crawling out of the baby crib harder than it seemed. Rainbow Dash slipped a few times and nearly fell onto the ground while crawling out of the crib. Fluttershy reached out her arms towards her baby and began to grab her and support her as she crawled out and tried to stand up.

"Let me help you baby, you can't walk properly yet." Fluttershy childishly cooed, holding onto Rainbow Dash's arm with her hands supporting her balance so that she wouldn't fall down to the ground like a real infant.

Fluttershy directed Rainbow Dash towards the changing table and started to slowly lay her down onto the table, Rainbow Dash sucked on her pacifier while crossing her arms on top of the table, still feeling dazed and confused about her surroundings she looked around the nursery once again to see that the whole room was strangely clean. From the looks of it Fluttershy had cleaned up the whole nursery, the treasure chest full of toys wasn't open and the dolls on the shelves were back in their original places.

"You just stay here and I will get you the clothes I put on the clothing rack." Fluttershy delightfully tapped her baby on the chest, walking away from Rainbow Dash to obtain her adult clothing that she left in the bathroom.

Fluttershy quickly walked out of the nursery and walked straight into the bathroom, she looked to her side and saw Rainbow Dash's shorts, cyan hoodie and one of her wrist bands all lying on one of the radiator racks to keep warm. Fluttershy picked up all of her friends clothing and placed it on her arm, she turned off the bathroom light and walked out back into the nursery where Rainbow Dash was still lying on the changing table with the pacifier still in her mouth being sucked on.

"I've got your clothes, don't worry baby, I'll dress you up." Fluttershy cooed, she walked over to Rainbow Dash and placed her clothing next to her baby. Rainbow Dash leaned up and sat on the edge of the changing table for Fluttershy without even being asked to, Fluttershy gave a little smile and Rainbow Dash tried to yawn whilst the pacifier was in her mouth.

Fluttershy firstly inspected Rainbow Dash and saw that she was still wearing her diaper; she had removed it without Rainbow Dash trying to stop her.

"Uh... Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy politely whispered to her friend.

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash rubbed her eyes, still feeling tired from her little nap.

"I need to remove your diaper... please?" Fluttershy politely asked.

"Go ahead." Rainbow Dash lazily nodded, trying to keep her head from falling backwards and back onto the changing table. Fluttershy's eye lids opened wide at Dash's quick approval to the removal of her diaper, earlier today she said that she didn't want to be seen naked in front of her friend and now she is alright with the idea of being changed? Fluttershy slowly took her time and pushed Rainbow Dash back onto the changing table like a real baby. She put her hands on the tapes and began to undo them one by one until her diaper was still in place with the diaper tapes completely undone. Only the front layer of the diaper was left, she didn't know whether to undo the diaper or ask Rainbow Dash where her underwear had gone to.

"Umm... Rainbow Dash... where are your underwear?" Fluttershy blushed; she didn't just believe herself that she had just asked someone where their underwear was. She felt so dirty by all means.

"Wearin' em." Rainbow Dash stretched her arms up into the air, she put her arms back down and rested both arms at the back of her head to create a make-shift pillow for herself.

"Wearing them?" Fluttershy repeated, not understanding the answer to her question.

"Check it..." Rainbow Dash nodded up and down, hinting to Fluttershy that she should check under the diaper.

Fluttershy didn't want to go through this, even though changing a diaper was part of a baby. She didn't want to get into any messy situations with Rainbow Dash and what she does inside of her diapers. She put her fingers in between the plastic material and started to lift up the diaper, after moving it out of the way, she saw that Rainbow Dash was still wearing her underwear under the diaper she was currently wearing. Fluttershy didn't smile at this; she understood that Rainbow Dash had done this to stop her from wetting the diaper and getting her only source of undergarments wet. It was a pretty inventive idea for someone like Rainbow Dash.

"I see..." Fluttershy whispered; understanding of what Rainbow Dash had done to her underwear.

"I'm a good girl, I don't mess myself." Rainbow Dash childishly giggled, feeling more responsive and awake than ever. She leaned back and waited for Fluttershy to dress her back up without having to do a single job herself.

"You're a very smart baby." Fluttershy cooed to her baby, Rainbow Dash just smiled back at Fluttershy.

"Heh" Rainbow Dash giggled. "I know." She nodded up and down.

"Could you lift your legs up?" Fluttershy blushed a bright red again. Rainbow Dash understood Fluttershy's orders and she lifted her bottom up into the air. The diaper was lying on the changing table and Fluttershy picked it up and wrapped it into a ball. She walked over to the diaper pail and put the diaper inside of it.

"There you go, no more messes." Fluttershy giggled.

"Can I ask you somethin''?" Rainbow Dash reached out and grabbed Fluttershy's giant yellow sweater and tugged it to grab Fluttershy's attention.

"Yes?" Fluttershy turned around and saw that Rainbow Dash had tugged on her large yellow sweater.

"Are you going to dress me?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy, with a simple curiosity.

"Yes, just give me a moment baby." Fluttershy smiled.

Fluttershy walked over to the crib and saw that the blanket and pillows were out of the place; quickly deciding to clean up the crib she placed the pillows into a neat and tight position to the top of the crib. Tucking the edges of the blanket under the crib mattress to make it look very clean and neat. She turned around and saw that Rainbow Dash was still stretching her arms out towards her, as if she was trying to magically pull her towards the changing table.

"Are you going to do it now?" Rainbow Dash reached out and grabbed onto Fluttershy's yellow sweater, starting to get impatient in a childish manner.

"Yes baby, I was just cleaning the crib and making it looks nice." Fluttershy smiled, she placed her hand on Rainbow's stomach and rubbed her, Rainbow Dash immediately ebbed herself forward. As if telling Fluttershy to stop what she was doing, although Rainbow Dash began to break out into a small fit of childish laughter. "I'll put your shorts on and then you can put on your coat all by yourself." Fluttershy merrily hummed.

"Yeah sure." Rainbow Dash calmed down from her sudden giggling, she rubbed her belly after feeling a slight tingle from what Fluttershy had just done.

Fluttershy picked up Rainbow Dash's shorts that were lying on the side of the changing table and moved them down below Rainbow's waist line. She put the shorts at the tips of Rainbow Dash's toes and began to slide the clothing up her thin athletic legs. As Fluttershy began to move the shorts up Rainbow Dash's legs, she noticed that Rainbow Dash was resting her bottom on the changing table and she wasn't able to pull the shorts up anymore.

"Um... Could you please lift up your bottom please?" Fluttershy blushed.

"Sure." Rainbow Dash complied; she lifted her lower body up allowing Fluttershy to push her own shorts up to the right parts of her body. Fluttershy was nearly finished properly clothing her baby, she just needed to strap on the buttons on the front of the shorts and she would be finished.

"There we go." Fluttershy smiled, taking a step back rustling her hands in a small amount of self-pride for her accomplishment, she had just put clothing on her baby and she looked beautiful as ever.

"Can I get off this table now? Just wondering... it's starting to hurt my back." Rainbow Dash leaned up and sat up on the edge of the changing table, she leaned back allowing her back to crackle. Relieving any sense of pain that had built up within her time in the baby crib and her time lying on the changing table.

"Yes." Fluttershy said. Watching Rainbow Dash jump off the table and land on her feet, having an awkward feeling because now her baby was standing up on her own two feet not needing any help from her mother anymore.

"So what now?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy, now that the day was over. Rainbow Dash didn't have to play baby for her anymore, all sorts of ideas and choices popped up into Rainbow's head, but she wanted to spend a little more time with Fluttershy to get the conclusion of today’s events.

"You're free to go ba- Rainbow Dash, didn't you say that you had to practice for the big race that's coming up? I'm sure you don't want to waste your time here, you could be training right now." Fluttershy put her hand over her mouth and quietly gasped. Coming to the slight realization of what Fluttershy had been doing this whole time.

"Don't sweat it Fluttershy, I still got tomorrow to practice until the big race. Applejack must be workin' hard if she wants to beat me." Rainbow Dash wiggled both of her legs one after the other, allowing her leg bones to not only stretch but crackle on the inside. Fluttershy covered her mouth, not wanting to hear her friend’s bones crackling in such a strange way.

"Oh... are you sure... I don't want to waste any time... just encase... you know..." Fluttershy began to deeply blush a bright red, her cheeks lighted up and she wrapped her arms around herself trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Nah, I'm gonna stay here for a while and then go to the park. It's still light out and I'm sure I could meet up with Scootaloo or Twilight later." Rainbow Dash put her hand up to her chin and began to rub it, thinking of the many ideas that she could do after she leaves Fluttershy's cottage.

"So... what do you want to do now?" Fluttershy squeaked.

"Hmm..." Rainbow Dash turned around, looking away from Fluttershy. "How about a cup of tea and some biscuits? Maybe sit down in front of the TV and relax for a while before I leave." Rainbow suggested, happily clicking her fingers as if a light bulb had popped up from the top of her head.

"Sure." Fluttershy's red cheeks began to simmer down; she lowered her hands down to her waist and nodded at the idea of having a nice cup of tea.

Rainbow Dash was the first one to sit down on the couch, Fluttershy immediately went inside of her lovely kitchen to prepare the tea and biscuits for both of them. As Rainbow Dash leaped onto Fluttershy's couch and leaned back to relax herself, she picked up the TV remote and looked at the buttons on the remote. Seeing the most recent channel that was turned on was the cartoon channel, she thought it was be a good idea to keep the cartoons on.

As time went on Fluttershy took longer to make the cup of tea and biscuits, it wasn't a problem for Rainbow Dash. She leaned back and began to laugh at some of the classic cartoons that were being shown on TV.

"Here we go Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy squeaked from across the inside of the kitchen, Rainbow Dash turned her head to see Fluttershy standing in between the door frame connecting the kitchen to the living room. She was holding a small tray which had two large plain white coffee mugs on top along with a small bowl full of chocolate biscuits. Rainbow Dash prepared herself and moved across to one of the sides of the couch and put her feet down onto the ground.

Fluttershy slowly walked over trying her best to retain her balance without any accidents happening, she walked over to the small wooden table in front of the couch and started to lower the tray onto the wooden table. After she placed the tray onto the table she wiped her hands and clapped them three times. Fluttershy slowly sat down on the other side of the couch opposite to Rainbow Dash.

There was a short silence as soon as Fluttershy sat herself down and began to pick up her cup of tea and drink from it. Rainbow Dash loudly laughed at the cartoons and their own type of violence.

"What do you think it would be like if we were cartoon characters?" Rainbow Dash broke the silence, giggling her way as she spoke to Fluttershy who was drinking her tea and slowly taking small bites out of one of the biscuits.

"Oh... uh... I don't know... it would be rather weird." Fluttershy replied back.

"I think it would be cool, I mean... in a cartoon, anything can happen, right? I'd love to be able to fly around in the sky." Rainbow Dash said to Fluttershy.

"Wouldn't you need wings to fly?" Fluttershy responded back to Rainbow Dash, sounding less interested in what Rainbow Dash had to say.

"Yeah, it'd be so cool, I'd be a big massive eagle or something and then I'd fly past the mountains near the dragon country!" Rainbow Dash began to excitedly raise her voice like a child who saw her presents under a Christmas tree. Fluttershy began to get a little uninterested in what Rainbow Dash was trying to say, she wanted to talk about something else other than bright and flashy cartoons.

"Uh... Rainbow Dash..." Fluttershy interrupted Rainbow Dash in the middle of her winged fantasy of being a big bird.

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash calmed herself and reached over towards her cup of tea on the wooden table, she took a quick sip and quickly placed the cup on the wooden table and took a chocolate biscuit and shoved it in her mouth.

"Can I... umm... talk to you about what happened today?" Fluttershy began to blush again; she looked away from Rainbow Dash not wanting to look very strange and awkward in front of her best friend.

"What about today?" Rainbow Dash simply answered, not questioning why she wanted to talk about the whole experience.

"D-did you enjoy today?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash, still looking away from her best friend.

"Heck yeah, like I said before I went into the crib. I thought it was pretty rad to not have any responsibilities for a few hours." Rainbow Dash gulped down her chocolate biscuit rather quickly to speak.

"I wanted to ask you something... but I don't know if you... umm... want to?" Fluttershy wasn't able to speak properly; she paused a few times trying to think of the proper way to speak to Rainbow Dash about something she wanted to ask her since the start of the whole baby experience.

"Yeah? What is it?" Rainbow Dash happily crossed her arms, waiting for Fluttershy to speak some more.

"I was wondering if you... uh... I don't know... how to say it..." Fluttershy blushed even harder.

"Take your time Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash saw that her best friend was starting to get nervous; she didn't like it when Fluttershy was in a situation like this. Even with her in the room, Rainbow Dash crawled across the couch over to where Fluttershy was sitting and she placed herself right next to Fluttershy. Picking up her arm and wrapped it around her neck just like a hug.

"Uh... I was wondering if you would... on every Saturday... would you like to... uh... come over?" Fluttershy spoke out some more, feeling even more nervous now that Rainbow Dash had smuggled into her own side. She knew what to say but she wasn't able to pull the words out of her properly.

"I know what you are trying to say." Rainbow Dash giggled.

"W-What?" Fluttershy stammered.

"No, don't worry. I know what you're trying to get across." Rainbow Dash smiled, she reached up and grabbed Fluttershy by the chin and directed her head to face eye-to-eye.

"Y-You k-know?" Fluttershy blushed even harder, she felt like crying in joy and fear, not knowing what the answer is going to be.

"Yeah." Rainbow Dash whispered to her best friend.

"W-Will y-you?" Fluttershy held back her tears slightly, only letting out a small drip come out from her eye.

"Yeah, sure. Mommy."

Chapter Seven

" Rainbow Dash... "

" Rainbow Dash... are you alright? "

Rainbow Dash immediately opened her eyes; a shining light pierced her pupils like a hit knife going through butter in a millisecond. An instant electric shock of energy burst through Rainbow's body jolting her into an upwards position, her vision was blurred and the light wasn't helping. She heard a giggle and a voice calling out for her, but it didn't sound anything like Fluttershy at all. The voice was significantly higher and it sounded like it was on the verge of breaking,

Rainbow Dash looked to the left, she saw no one. She looked to the right, and saw no one. She quickly rubbed her eyes and reopened them to get another glimpse of the park once again. The whole entire world around her had drastically changed; a small yet calm wind blew through Rainbow's hair. The temperature and the weather had gone for the worst and a rainstorm was about to make its way into town. The clouds were a subtle mix between white, gray and black. Small roars of thunder could be heard from the distance and it seemed that all of the happy families and people walking through the park had disappeared.

She immediately pulled her pacifier out of her own mouth and placed it in her hoodie pocket, a small string of saliva followed as soon as Rainbow Dash pulled it out of her mouth. Rainbow Dash yawned out loud and she stretched her arms into the air, feeling the cold wind scrape across her face.

"Guess it's time to go home..." Rainbow Dash whispered to herself, feeling terrible from her little nap. She back started to hurt from lying on just a flat and hard surface; she preferred the crib over most beds.

Rainbow Dash groaned as she started to lift herself up from the park bench, knowing that the bad weather was going to get worse and the thunder storm was getting louder she needed to get home quickly. Rainbow Dash immediately stuffed her hands into her pockets and picked out her house keys from her pockets, she lifted them up and placed them into her hoodie pocket.

In the corner on Dash's eye, something moved. A small blur of a shape whizzed past her eye making it hard to identity, Rainbow Dash paused for a moment and began to turn around to the path behind her.

She turned around to see a very small figure in the distance, hard to see with the world being so blurred after Rainbow's little nap she squinted her eyes and noticed that the small figure was strangely wearing a very thick orange coat. Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms, waiting for the figure to get closer so that she could get a very good look at the passer-by.

The figure soon made their way closer to Rainbow Dash, she saw who it was. It was Scootaloo.

Although something was wrong, she had her hands in her trouser pockets and she had her head hung low to the ground, she wasn't smiling and she didn't look very energetic at all.

As Scootaloo walked up to Rainbow Dash, she slowly stopped in front of her and looked up at her idol, not feeling in the mood to be excited that she had seen Rainbow Dash.

"Hello Rainbow Dash..." Scootaloo meekly spoke to Rainbow Dash, her voice was weak and she was very quiet.

"Hey, Scoots. What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash walked up to Scootaloo and put her hand on her head, rustling through her short purple hair with her fingers.

"Nothing..." Scootaloo looked away from Rainbow Dash, not feeling in the best mood to talk about what was going on.

"C'mon, tell me." Rainbow Dash leaned down to the ground and put her hand on Scootaloo's arm.

"Nothing’s wrong, I'm just tired." Scootaloo yawned in front of Rainbow Dash.

"You sure?" Rainbow Dash crossed her arms, she was curious about Scootaloo, she didn't look right to her.

"Yep." Scootaloo nodded up and down.

Rainbow Dash turned around and walked over to the park bench, Scootaloo slowly watched as her friend sat down on the park bench and put her hands into her hoodie pockets.

"Why don't you sit down?" Rainbow Dash said, looking at the spare space next to her.

"Why?" Scootaloo asked, wondering why Rainbow Dash wanted her to sit down.

"I just wanna talk, is there something wrong with that?" Rainbow Dash shrugged her shoulders; she kept on gesturing with her eyes to tell Scootaloo to sit down on the park bench.

"Okay." Scootaloo nodded, she walked over to the park bench and sat down next to Rainbow Dash, keeping her head down looking at the ground as if she was trying her best not to gain any attention from anyone else.

"How have you been today?" Rainbow Dash placed her hand on Scootaloo's shoulder.

"Fine." Scootaloo quickly answered.

"I've been practicing my running and jumping for a few hours today for the big race, what have you been doing at school?" Rainbow Dash calmly and kindly asked Scootaloo.

"Stuff..." Scootaloo turned her head away from Rainbow Dash; she crossed her arms and quickly answered to get the conversation out of the way.

"What stuff?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"School work..." Scootaloo quickly replied back.

Rainbow Dash paused for a moment, she knew what type of mood Scootaloo was now in, and it was enough to tell her to cut the act and asked her what is wrong.

"Okay Scoots, what's wrong? You're usually not this sad." Rainbow Dash gave a little nudge on her shoulder, Scootaloo turned around looking sad. She looked up at Rainbow Dash and slightly yawned, rubbing her eyes with her hands.

"I'm bored." Scootaloo acknowledged.

"So?" Rainbow shrugged her shoulders, confused at what Scootaloo was trying to say.

"So what? I'm bored." Scootaloo stretched her arms and placed them on the top of the park bench, trying to copy Rainbow Dash and how she relaxed on the bench.

"Then... why don't you go and find your friends?" Rainbow Dash suggested to her friend.

"I'm not allowed to see Applebloom or Sweetie Belle." Scootaloo sighed.

"Why not? Have you had an argument with them or something?" Rainbow rose an eyebrow at what Scootaloo was saying, still confused but was achieving some answers to what was going on.

"I'm grounded... my foster parents didn't like it when I came home covered in mud last week... they took away my comics and action figures from me and I can't do anything..." Scootaloo whimpered, feeling upset about her loss of entertainment and pleasure for the rest of the week.

"Sucks..." Rainbow Dash leaned to her side and rested her hand on Scootaloo's shoulder and began to comfort her. Scootaloo turned her head and looked up at Rainbow Dash; she tried her best to give off a small smile without trying to cry a little because she was so bored.

"Rainbow Dash... you listen to me, right?" Scootaloo whispered to her idol, hoping that this conversation became close and personal.

"Yeah sure." Rainbow Dash leaned her head forward close to Scootaloo and listened to what she had to say.

"I think growing up stinks." Scootaloo blurted out, plain and simple.

Rainbow Dash quickly burst into a small fit of laughter, Scootaloo looked up hoping that her idol wasn't laughing at her for what she said.

"I couldn't agree anymore Scoots." Rainbow Dash finished her laughter, wiping a small tear off her face.

"R-Really?" Scootaloo raised an eyebrow; she was surprised at Rainbow's agreement.

"Yeah." Rainbow smiled. "Why do you think it sucks? You can do loads of things when you are grown-up." Rainbow Dash added.

"Well..." Scootaloo paused. "My Foster Mom told me when you grow up... your body changes..." Scootaloo tried to talk, feeling a little scared talking about private matters to her friend.

"Oh, that's normal." Rainbow Dash said, calming her voice down to help with the mood of the situation.

"You sure?" Scootaloo questioned.

"Yeah, you've only get a few years to go until that happens." Rainbow leaned back and rested her arms on the back of the park bench, she breathed out trying to think of something different to talk about instead of growing up. She started to dislike the thought of growing up, and after her experience with Fluttershy it's shown her a few new ways to look at the idea of growing up.

"Uh... does any of it hurt?" Scootaloo pondered, trying to think of changes to her body that might hurt her.

"Nah, nothin' serious." Rainbow Dash sighed. "Besides, Cheerilee will teach you all about it at school." She added.

Scootaloo had her finger on her chin for some time, trying to take in all of the information she got from Rainbow Dash and compile it into something that she could understand. Her body would change with very little pain involved.

"I still think it sucks... I'd rather be a baby rather than an adult!" Scootaloo yelled in protest.

Rainbow Dash quickly turned her head, strangely interested in what she just said.

"What did you just say?" Rainbow Dash asked Scootaloo.

"I said: I'd rather be a baby than a boring grown-up..." Scootaloo repeated.

"Why?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at her little friend.

"Babies well... you know... don't have to go to work... and uh... they are looked after by someone..." Scootaloo tried to explain, although not very well. Rainbow Dash kept herself silent while her purple haired friend tried her best to explain.

"Uh-huh..." Rainbow Dash nodded up and down.

"Grown-ups have jobs and babies don't... um... have to do anything..." Scootaloo blushed; she didn't know what else to explain.

"So you're saying that babies don't have to do anything?" Rainbow finished her off.

"Yeah..." Scootaloo nodded.

"Why do you want to be a baby again? So that you don't have to grow up? I mean... I think everyone in the world would want to be young again when they get to my age." Rainbow Dash explained.

"I don't know..." Scootaloo blushed. "My foster parents say that I have responsibilities... but I don't want them..." She added.

"Well..." Rainbow Dash groaned, she lifted herself from the park bench and stood up. She stretched her arms up into the air and looked at Scootaloo. "If you want my advice, kid. Come with me to Fluttershy's house and we'll talk it over, if you want to be a baby again I could help you out." Rainbow Dash extended her hand out to Scootaloo; she reluctantly grabbed it and stood up from the park bench.

"What do you mean?" Scootaloo was a little confused at what her idol was trying to say.

"Fluttershy has loads of baby-sitting equipment and supplies, I'm sure if we ask her nicely then she'd look after you like a baby or somethin'." Rainbow Dash let go of Scootaloo and put her hands into her trouser pockets.

"That sounds weird..." Scootaloo blushed.

"Hey, if it makes you feel better. I had to pretend to be a baby for Fluttershy this morning to help her out with some stuff." Rainbow Dash said.

Scootaloo paused for a moment to let what her friend just said to sink in, she immediately broke out into hysterical laughter as Rainbow Dash stood there waiting for her to stop. Rainbow Dash didn't frown or smile, she just kept her face straight and looked at Scootaloo who looked like she was about to fall to the ground.

"Let's just go..."

"Oh no, Rarity... Rainbow Dash was such a good girl when I looked after her, she just didn't like some of the food that I gave her, that's all." Fluttershy spoke to Rarity, holding the house phone next to her ears still sitting down on the couch soon after Rainbow Dash had left. With the living room lights dimmed and the TV turned on, Fluttershy was now relaxing after taking care and letting go of her baby.

"No, she didn't take a bath. But she did sleep in a crib, she looked very cute." Fluttershy continued on with her conversation with Rarity. Taking a small sip of warm tea while Rarity spoke on the phone.

"We both arranged that she would come over every Saturday and pretend to be my baby for a few hours, she liked the idea and I wrote it on my calendar on the kitchen." Fluttershy spoke down the phone again.

"I don't she would like everyone knowing that she liked to sleep in cribs, it sounds very mean." Fluttershy took another sip of tea as Rarity spoke down the phone.

As Fluttershy was talking to her friend Rarity, a loud banging on the front door was heard outside of the house. Fluttershy turned her head to see that someone was standing outside.

"Excuse me... um... Rarity... I have to go now... someone is at the door... please excuse me..." Fluttershy put the phone down back into its socket and got off the couch and slowly walked over to the front door. She put her hand on the door knob and slowly twisted it to make the insides of the door click open. She pulled the door to and saw Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash standing next to one another.

"Oh..." Fluttershy blushed. "Hello Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo." Fluttershy opened the door some more and revealed herself.

"Hey Fluttershy, I've just came to help Scootaloo talk to you about something." Rainbow looked at Scootaloo and nudged her in the back of her shoulder.

"Please come inside, it's so nice to have guests." Fluttershy moved out of the way allowing Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo to walk into the house.

Rainbow Dash walked past Scootaloo and made a quick dive for the living room couch, she leaped onto the top of it and positioned herself on top of the pillows and crossed her arms at the back of her head. Scootaloo looked around Fluttershy's living room and saw many shelves with books and flower pots, bright yellow wall paper to give a very nice looking mood and a soft carpet under her feet.

Fluttershy walked past Scootaloo as she stood in the middle of the room and rested herself on the couch next to Rainbow Dash, who politely moved her legs out of the way allowing Fluttershy to sit down. Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked at Scootaloo who seemed to be a little scared and curious about Fluttershy's house.

"So as I was sayin', Scootaloo wanted to tell you something." Rainbow Dash continued on with what she had to say.

"Oh? What's wrong?" Fluttershy leaned forward a little bit and kept her eyes fixed onto Scootaloo.

"Oh... I... said to Rainbow Dash that... growing up stinks..." Scootaloo felt a little shy, not really wanting to talk to Fluttershy at this moment now that Rainbow Dash was watching her talking to someone else about the subject.

"I'm sorry Scootaloo... I uh... don't really understand, could you please explain... if that's okay with you..." Fluttershy blushed, she didn't want to seem rude to her young house guest. Not understanding what Scootaloo was trying to say to her, but it sounded very important if Rainbow Dash has brought her here.

"Oh... I said to Rainbow Dash that growing up stinks... and I'd rather be a baby..." Scootaloo blushed, feeling embarrassed and really stupid for expressing her feelings and thoughts to the adults.

"A baby?" Fluttershy instantly raised an eyebrow, suddenly interested like Rainbow Dash in what she said.

"Y-yeah..." Scootaloo looked down to the ground and placed her hands into her coat pockets, blushing a hard red.

"It's okay Scootaloo, we understand." Fluttershy comforted Scootaloo, getting up from the couch and slowly walking over to the embarrassed child and lowering herself so that she was Scootaloo's height, she extended her arms and slowly wrapped them round the scared child. Scootaloo looked over Fluttershy to see Rainbow Dash still lying down on the couch, except one detail was different. Rainbow Dash had a pink pacifier in her mouth and she was looking at Fluttershy and Scootaloo hugging each other.

"Why has Rainbow Dash got a pacifier in her mouth?" Scootaloo asked Fluttershy.

Fluttershy unwrapped her arms around Scootaloo and slowly stood up back on her own feet; she looked down at the purple haired child and gave a small smile.

"Rainbow Dash is my baby, every Saturday she comes to my house and I have to look after her." Fluttershy explained to Scootaloo.

"I don't get it..." Scootaloo tilted her head to the side.

"Basically Scoots, Fluttershy looks after me like a baby because she wants a baby. And since you say that you want to be a baby again, I think it'd be cool if Fluttershy looks after you." Rainbow Dash leaned up from the couch and plucked her pink pacifier out of her mouth, talking to Scootaloo and noticing that she was still blushing from the whole conversation.

"I don't know... this is just all of a sudden..." Scootaloo scratched the back of her head, confused at what was going on, it was just all of a sudden and what Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash was saying wasn't convincing her. Two choices were to run out of the house and forget what they had been saying or accept their offers and see what it's like to be a baby once again.

"It's okay Scootaloo; uh... you can take your time." Fluttershy blushed; she walked over to Rainbow Dash and sat down right next to her. Placing her hands on her lap while Rainbow Dash lifted up her legs and placed them on Fluttershy's lap, feeling even more relaxed than ever.

Rainbow Dash had just thought of something brilliant, now that she was back in Fluttershy's home she could do something she wanted to do since she left after her interesting experience. She raised her legs off Fluttershy's lap and quickly stood up, alerting Scootaloo and Fluttershy to what she is doing.

"I'll be back in a minute... there’s a little somethin' I gotta do." Rainbow Dash walked past Fluttershy and Scootaloo and made her way upstairs, quickly dashing up to make sure that no one saw what she was going to do, leaving both Fluttershy and Scootaloo to talk on their own.

"I'm really sorry if this is too uh, sudden Scootaloo... Rainbow Dash does have a way to bring people into certain situations quickly." Fluttershy apologized, leaving a bright red blush on her cheeks for Scootaloo to see.

"It's okay..." Scootaloo nodded. "I'm just really confused... why do you look after Rainbow Dash like a baby?" She asked.

"Oh..." Fluttershy blushed. "It's well... because... I don't have a baby of my own... and I'm not able to get one and... Uh... Rainbow Dash said that she'd let me look after her if it made me... well... stop me from wanting a baby..."

"Oh, I get it now!" Scootaloo gave a small smile towards Fluttershy.

"It's okay if you don't want to... you know... act like a baby for me... I still have Rainbow Dash... but um... please keep this a secret..." Fluttershy asked Scootaloo.

"Yeah sure, I won't tell anyone!" Scootaloo gave a small cheer and a salute to her idols friend.

"Thank you Scootaloo, I don't want to see Rainbow Dash upset... she is delicate." Fluttershy gave off a small smile to the young child.

After thirty minutes between Fluttershy and Scootaloo having a conversation without Rainbow Dash as she went upstairs without a reason, Scootaloo had moved closer to Fluttershy and she sat down next to her on the living room couch. Casually talking about their daily lives and what they had been doing today, strangely, Fluttershy told Scootaloo what she did with Rainbow Dash during her little stay at her house while Angel was away on his errands with nature.

All the way through the conversation Scootaloo was strangely interested in what Fluttershy was telling her, the diapers, the crib and the pacifiers were all very interesting. But deep inside she felt weird for listening to something so strange, she secretly wanted to do this all by herself to see what it was like.

"... And then I helped Rainbow Dash get inside of the crib upstairs in the nursery and she fell asleep like an angel, I came back into the nursery sometime later and she looked so adorable." Fluttershy finished off her little story recalling of today’s events with Rainbow Dash, she took note that Scootaloo had listened to every single word that she had said recalling her story.

"Woah, that's pretty weird." Scootaloo said, sipping on the cup of tea that Fluttershy had made for her during the conversation.

"So, how is your foster family... uh... if you don't mind me asking...?” Fluttershy blushed, not wanting to get into sensitive territory with Scootaloo in case something bad had happened with her foster family.

"Oh... they blow; they aren't as cool as Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo took another sip of tea.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy took slight notice to Scootaloo's language, an obvious hint of Rainbow Dash teaching her street words.

"They suck, all they ever do is telling me to put my elbows off the table and make sure I brush my teeth." Scootaloo said to Fluttershy, noting again that Rainbow Dash had taught her some new words.

"Maybe they are just trying to look after you." Fluttershy interjected.

"I know, but they make me go to bed at stupid times like seven o' clock... makes me really angry." Scootaloo crossed her arms, raising her voice to get her point across to Fluttershy.

"It's okay little one, when I was little; I had to do the same thing." Fluttershy added.

"Really?" Scootaloo turned her head to Fluttershy for a moment, about to know if someone had the same problems as her.

"Yes." Fluttershy nodded. "My parents told me to brush my teeth and comb my own hair when I was little; they were teaching me how to do things without grown-up help." She added.

"I like it when people do things for me... you know... like getting' me food and drinks." Scootaloo's soft anger slowly turned back into a cheerful mood and began to pleasantly talk back to Fluttershy, which made her smile a little more. "Y'know, like a baby." Scootaloo added, slowly blushing.

"Home come?" Fluttershy asked.

"Well... my foster parents keep on saying I gotta do things on my own, but I don't know how to. I can ride my scooter just fine, but I can't cook or clean." Scootaloo explained.

"It's okay Scootaloo; you learn these things when you are much older." Fluttershy sweetly replied.

Fluttershy wrapped her arm around Scootaloo and slight pulled her in for a nice warm hug, Scootaloo accepted and leaned her head on the side of Fluttershy's chest.

"But I don't wanna learn that stuff, my foster parents say that if I can't learn basic stuff then I can't get a job." Scootaloo began to whine, Fluttershy took note and she began to stroke Scootaloo's hair in an attempt to calm her down.

"That sounds a bit harsh at your age." Fluttershy said, secretly a little bit shocked about what her foster parents were telling her. Scootaloo seemed to have calmed down and it looked like she was close to falling asleep, Fluttershy looked out of the window and saw it was getting really dark. The sun was almost down and the night was falling on the land, there was no chance that Scootaloo was going home in the dark.

"Is it?" Scootaloo looked up at Fluttershy for a moment, rather confused. "My foster parents always say stuff like that." She added.

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow at the behaviour of Scootaloo's foster parents; they surely shouldn't be saying anything as rude or bad as that to a child of Scootaloo's age. Fluttershy took grip of Scootaloo once again and hugged her to warm her up from the cold.

"It's getting late Scootaloo, but it's pretty dark out. Do you want to stay here? I could umm... ring up your parents and tell them that you are staying here for the night." Fluttershy lowered her head and whispered to Scootaloo who looked like she was about to fall asleep right on the arm of the couch. Fluttershy stood up and slowly rested Scootaloo's head on a pillow, allowing her to get some quick rest.

"Sure." Scootaloo yawned; she didn't care where she had to sleep. It would be nice for her to stay out of her foster home for a while and sleep in a house with nice people for once.

Fluttershy walked over to her phone and picked it up; looking back at Scootaloo who rested her head on the couch pillow with her eyes still open looking at what TV program was on. Fluttershy looked down at the phone and opened her phone book to see her trusty list of names and numbers that belonged to all of her friends and the rest of the town’s residents. She started from the top of the list and ran her finger down to the bottom of the phone book to see the name of Scootaloo's foster parents.

She pressed down on the phone keys and entered in the number correctly and put the phone up to her ears so that she could hear the beeping inside of the phone.

"Hello, this is Fluttershy. Uh, I'm here to tell you that Scootaloo is at my house and it's getting really dark and you see..."

...

"Well, I wanted to ask if it's okay if she can stay at my home... it's really dark outside and I think it would be best if..."

...

"Okay, I can give her breakfast in the morning and I can send her back to you." Fluttershy smiled, after hearing what they had to say Fluttershy felt a little happier knowing that Scootaloo didn't have to go outside in the dark to get home.

...

"Thank you so much, I will look after her and make sure she feels like she is right at home." Fluttershy finished off; she put the phone down feeling really happy with her conversation with Scootaloo's foster parent and slowly walked over to the very tired child.

"It's okay Scootaloo; you can stay here for the night." Fluttershy placed her hand on Scootaloo's hair and patted her, Scootaloo lifted herself up and yawned rather loudly, stretching her arms and looking up at Fluttershy.

"Thanks." Scootaloo thanked Fluttershy.

Chapter Eight

"Don't worry Scootaloo, I know that you are tired and you need to get to bed. And I have a very nice bed in the guest’s room that you can sleep in, it's very comfy and you will enjoy it." Fluttershy kindly whispered into Scootaloo's ears as Fluttershy carried Scootaloo up the stairs, wrapping her arms around the child keeping her in her own arms until she could place her down on the guest’s bed.

As Fluttershy walked up to the top of the stairs, she looked to the left to see her bedroom. She needed to get ready for bed also as it was getting very late, but one question did stick in her head... Where did Rainbow Dash disappear off to?

Fluttershy walked into her bedroom and made her best to make sure that she didn't let Scootaloo bump into any parts of the door frame, she walked in firstly looking at her bed to see quite a pleasant surprise lying on her bed.

"Rainbow Dash?" Fluttershy never expected Rainbow Dash to be in her bedroom, her best friend was lying down on her bed reading a magazine in the dark. As Fluttershy inspected her best friend, she saw that most of her clothing was scattered all over the floor and saw that Rainbow Dash had stripped down to a large white diaper and her tank-top, similar to what she was wearing earlier today. Crossing her legs while lying up against the pillow to read the magazine, she turned her head to see Fluttershy carrying a not-so energetic Scootaloo.

"Oh hey Fluttershy, I'm just reading." Rainbow Dash acknowledged Fluttershy, who slowly walked over to her with Scootaloo in her arms.

"Hello Rainbow Dash... what are you doing in my room? If that... you know... want to explain... and such..." Fluttershy's cheeks began burning red again after lowering Scootaloo down onto her soft yellow bed.

"It's dark out..." Rainbow replied. "And I heard Scootaloo is staying over, so I thought: why not and stay with my friends a have a good time." She added.

"Oh... okay..." Fluttershy felt rushed about Rainbow Dash staying over, only planning to have Scootaloo stay over because of the dark outside and now an added Rainbow Dash was going to be a lot more work for her.

"How's Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash stopped reading the magazine she had picked up and looked down at Scootaloo for a moment, inspecting her to see that she had fallen deep asleep and a small river of drool had escaped her open mouth.

"She's sleeping like an angel; I'm going to put her in the guest’s room for tonight... I don't think she wouldn't want to sleep in the nursery..." Fluttershy pondered, looking up at Rainbow Dash as she looked up at her.

"Why don't you wake her up and ask her?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I don't know... she is sleeping right now... I wouldn't want to disturb her..." Fluttershy looked at Scootaloo and then back at Rainbow Dash, worried that she might upset Scootaloo in the process of waking her up.

"Let a pro take care of this." Rainbow Dash put the magazine down on the bed sheet and she leaned over to Scootaloo and tapped her on the back rather abruptly, Fluttershy didn't seem to like Rainbow's methods of waking her up as it might make her upset.

"Hey Scoots! Wake up for a sec!" Rainbow Dash raised her voice, gently tapping Scootaloo on the back with her hands in an attempt to wake up. Fluttershy noticed that Scootaloo had opened her eyes

"I'm awake..." A weak groggy child's voice was heard, both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy listened in and watched as Scootaloo lifted herself up and rubbed her eyes from her tiredness. Scootaloo now sat up on Fluttershy's bed right next to Rainbow Dash, who was in for a surprise once she saw what Rainbow Dash was wearing.

"You alright Scoots? You fell asleep right there." Rainbow Dash put her arm over Scootaloo's shoulder and gently hugged her; the tired child just nodded and yawned out loud.

"Sorry Rainbow Dash..." Scootaloo apologized. "I'm just really sleepy... I didn't get much sleep at home..." Scootaloo yawned, making it hard to understand what she was saying mid-yawn.

"How come?" Rainbow Dash asked her little friend.

"My bed feels funny..." Scootaloo rubbed her eyes again before regaining some of her energy; she looked around and noticed that she was in a bedroom of some sort. Nicely done windows and curtains with shelves running along the walls holding vases, photos and flowers in large oversized pots. She noticed Fluttershy sitting on the edge of the bed opposite to where Rainbow Dash and she were lying.

"Hey kiddo', you'll be sleeping in the guest's room tonight, don't worry about it. You'll like the comfy bed, plus, Fluttershy makes some great milk and cookies that we can have before we go to bed." Rainbow Dash hugged Scootaloo and rested her head on her idols belly, Scootaloo felt a bit happy that she was receiving positive attention for once in a while.

"Oh Dash..." Fluttershy blushed at Rainbow's compliment. "I'm not as good as Pinkie Pie or the Cake family..." Fluttershy said, trying to stop herself from getting embarrassed about what Rainbow Dash had just said.

It took Scootaloo a moment to realize, after finally waking herself up and keeping her eyes wide open to see that Rainbow Dash was wearing something crinkly. Scootaloo lifted her head up from Rainbow's side and saw that she was wearing something that didn't expect someone like Dash to wear at all. A large baby diaper. Her expression was different, she was curious and freaked out, yet she wanted to point and laugh at what she was wearing at the same time.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy noticed Scootaloo's strange reaction and both decided on their own to talk to her calmly about this whole situation.

"Why are you wearing a diaper?" Scootaloo said out loud, and rather bluntly. Staring at the white undergarment and not taking her eyes off of it, Rainbow Dash looked at Fluttershy and she just nodded, as if to tell her why she wears them.

"Because I do, they're pretty comfortable." Rainbow Dash replied.

"But babies wear diapers, you're a big girl..." Scootaloo was confused, knowing about the whole experience that both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had earlier today and so she was told. Rainbow Dash wearing diapers was something that she didn't actually believe for a moment, no one could ever get her into such weird types of clothing. But to her own amazement, Fluttershy managed to do it.

"Scootaloo... I'm sorry... It's my fault Rainbow Dash is wearing diapers..." Fluttershy butted in on their little conversation and apologized to both of them, Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at her friend and let go of Scootaloo and slowly crawled over to Fluttershy on the other side of the bed like an infant.

"No it ain't, I like wearing diapers, and they’re pretty cool." Rainbow Dash crawled over to Fluttershy and sat next right to her, wrapping her arms around her upset friend and giving her a really big hug. Scootaloo watched the small piece of drama and she looked at Rainbow Dash's diaper that she was wearing. Various images and ideas ran through her head, but she shook them off because they were too crazy to even think up of. But something had to be done; something about the diaper that Rainbow Dash was wearing was causing a strange and funny feeling inside of her stomach.

"I'm sorry... it's just... I really shouldn't force you to do such things..." Fluttershy whimpered, feeling like crying in the shoulders of her best friend. She was really starting to get worried about the relationship between Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo; she didn't want to see them fall apart just because of her making Rainbow Dash wear diapers.

"Force what? I agreed to wear the diapers, and I found them to pretty cool and comfortable. Don't get upset..." Rainbow Dash tried to calm down Fluttershy, knowing that if she didn't, she'd erupt into tears for such a little thing. Knowing how delicate she is, Rainbow Dash held her close and rested her head over Fluttershy's shoulder.

"Uh... I don't mind wearing diapers..." Scootaloo added.

Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash turned around to face Scootaloo as they saw that she had a massive red blush across her face, she had put her hands into her short pockets and turned away to stop them from looking at her embarrassment. Rainbow Dash had a small smile on her face and Fluttershy calmed herself down after hearing Scootaloo say what she just said.

"You what Scoots?" Rainbow Dash wanted Scootaloo to say what she said again, she couldn't believe her ears.

"I don't mind wearing a diaper... as long as I don't pee in it or anything..." Scootaloo blushed, looking up at her two friends who both had completely different reactions.

"You sure?" Rainbow Dash moved away from Fluttershy and crawled over to Scootaloo in an infantile way and rested herself right next to her, putting her arm over her and slightly hugging her.

"Yeah... if it makes you and Fluttershy happy... I'll do it..." Scootaloo felt Rainbow Dash pulling her in to rest her head, although she was tired and she needed some sleep for tomorrow. She still had the energy to experience what was about to happen, Scootaloo watched Fluttershy stand up with a small smile on her face as she walked over to Scootaloo and held out her arms.

Scootaloo reached up and she was pulled into Fluttershy's arms where she imagined that is going to be carried into the nursery that Fluttershy was talking about downstairs, as Fluttershy walked, she effortlessly carried Scootaloo to the door where the nursery was. Scootaloo was impressed that Fluttershy was so strong and that she was able to carry her, Fluttershy stood at the door waiting for Rainbow Dash to follow, which she instead went back to reading the magazine that she found in her friends bedroom.

"Uh... Rainbow Dash..." Fluttershy whispered.

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash turned a page in the magazine, and then looked up at Fluttershy to see that she was carrying Scootaloo in her arms standing in front of the nursery door. "Oh yeah..." Rainbow Dash threw the magazine to the other side of the bed and got up; she stretched her arms and yawned while walking over to Fluttershy and Scootaloo.

"Here..." Rainbow Dash grabbed hold of the door knob and slightly twisted it to the right, causing the insides of the door to click and then the door started to open by itself, revealing the nursery inside of Fluttershy's home.

"This is the nursery?" Scootaloo asked Fluttershy as all three of them walked in at the same time, Rainbow Dash reached for the light switch and flicked it on to reveal the rest of the room. The changing table, the toy chest, the shelves with giant teddy bears on them and more importantly: The crib.

"This is where I keep all of the baby toys and supplies." Fluttershy gave a small tour of the room walking around with Scootaloo still held to her chest with her arms.

"So... where are the diapers?" Scootaloo curiously asked, looking around the room to only see the changing table, yet no diapers whatsoever on the table itself.

"I keep them under the changing table; I have a little door that slides on the front so my babies can't get inside the changing table." Fluttershy explained, the pointed down to the bottom of the changing table, causing Scootaloo to look down to see the wooden door that slides in and out with a small lock on the front of it to keep its contents inside.

"Rainbow Dash... I don't want to be rude... but... could you please leave the nursery?" Fluttershy turned around with Scootaloo still in her arms, Rainbow Dash stood under the door frame admiring the decoration of the nursery itself.

"Yeah sure, gotta give little baby Scootaloo her privacy." Rainbow Dash childishly teased her friend, causing Scootaloo to frown a little, knowing it was still a joke. And with that, Rainbow Dash walked out of the nursery and closed the door, off to read more of the magazine that she found.

"I'm sorry Scootaloo, I hope Rainbow Dash didn't hurt... you know... your feelings..." Fluttershy apologized to Scootaloo for Rainbow Dash's behaviour, while it was normal that Rainbow Dash would occasionally pop in the odd tease and joke about her. It was a strange tease because of the upcoming events.

"It's okay Fluttershy..." Scootaloo replied, sounding pretty tired.

"Now what I am going to do is put you down on the changing table and I am going to... oh no... I can't do that..." Fluttershy spoke calmly and then turned into another shamble, just realizing that Scootaloo is an eight year old child, which put her off the planning she would about to do.

"What's wrong?" Scootaloo tapped Fluttershy's arm, trying to ask her what’s wrong.

"I'm really sorry Scootaloo... but I was about to... you know... ask you to take your..." Fluttershy breathed in. "Clothes off..." She barely even whispered to Scootaloo, making it hard for her to hear, yet she understood what she said. "I feel really dirty for saying something like that... it's just very bad to think of things like that..." Fluttershy scolded herself.

"But Fluttershy..." Scootaloo interrupted Fluttershy, who seemed to nearly be panicking herself to bits.

Fluttershy placed Scootaloo down on the top of the changing table; still sitting upright she tried to speak to Fluttershy to calm her down from what she was going to say.

"Fluttershy... if it's okay... I'd like Rainbow Dash to do it..." Scootaloo politely and calmly spoke to Fluttershy; she turned around to Scootaloo for a moment with a big red blush on her face.

"You want Rainbow Dash to diaper y-you?" Fluttershy breathed in through her nose and breathed out through her mouth to calm herself down.

"I'm sorry if I scared you..." Scootaloo tried to apologize instead.

"It's okay Scootaloo... I shouldn't overreact like that... it's my fault..." Fluttershy breathed out for the last time to calm herself down.

"Did someone call my name?" Suddenly, the nursery door opened to reveal Rainbow Dash poking her head through the door to see what all the commotion and loud noise was, she saw that Fluttershy still looked a little bit upset and Scootaloo didn't look happy either. Rainbow Dash pushed the door wide open and walked over to both of them.

"What happened now?" Rainbow sighed.

"Well you see... umm... it's just that I... uh..." Fluttershy couldn't get her words out at the moment, now that Rainbow Dash had stepped into the room.

Rainbow Dash sighed a little and turned to see Scootaloo sitting on the top of the changing table, swinging her feet as if she was hanging of the edge of a platform.

"What happened Scoots?" Rainbow Dash walked over to Scootaloo who was still sitting on the top of the changing table.

"I want you to put a diaper on me." Scootaloo bluntly said.

"Why?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow.

"Cause' Fluttershy can't do it." Scootaloo replied.

"I'll go outside..." Fluttershy quietly spoke to Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash.

"Wait Fluttershy, I need you to get the supplies out." Rainbow Dash called back to Fluttershy.

"Oh..." Her cheeks turning red again. "Silly me..."

Fluttershy meekly walked over to the changing table and lowered herself to where the small sliding door was; Scootaloo moved her feet out of the way and allowing Fluttershy to reach inside and grab the contents to help Rainbow Dash diaper Scootaloo. She pulled out a diaper that wasn't as big as the one Rainbow Dash was wearing with cute little drawn images of crayon colored farm animals with an ocean blue background; she plucked the diaper out of its packaging and handed it to Rainbow Dash.

"It's a size smaller than your diaper Dashie..." Fluttershy blushed, looking back at Scootaloo and giving a small smile.

"Thanks." Rainbow Dash smiled at Fluttershy.

Fluttershy walked towards the nursery door and walked outside and closed the door behind her, Rainbow Dash then turned back to Scootaloo who moved her legs back to their original position.

"So..." Rainbow Dash started. "What happened? What'd she get upset about?" She asked.

"Uh... she told me to lie down on the changing table... but she got upset when she nearly told me to take of my shorts." Scootaloo explained to Rainbow Dash.

"I see..." Rainbow Dash nodded her head. "Y'see Scoots, Fluttershy can be a little... well... When I used to go to College with her, she didn't like swimming class because she was afraid that someone was going to say something about her body. Y'know, stuff like that. She gets worried about a lot of things, and I can guess why she got upset a second ago."

"I don't get it... she changed your diapers..." Scootaloo replied.

"She didn't..." Rainbow Dash quickly said back. "I put my diapers on myself."

Scootaloo knew what was coming next; all she had to do is lie down on the changing table and wait for Rainbow Dash to diaper her. So Scootaloo positioned herself on the table and waited for Rainbow Dash to start diapering her, looking up at the ceiling to keep her thoughts clear from anything distracting.

"So... how are your foster parents?" Rainbow Dash started, she walked up close to Scootaloo as she lay down perfectly on the changing table. Rainbow Dash put the diaper on the edge of the table and then reached out for Scootaloo's trainers, she untied the laces and plucked her shoes from her feet and put them on the table next to the actual changing table.

"I don't wanna talk about it..." Scootaloo said, still keeping her eyes up at the ceiling.

"How come?" Rainbow Dash then moved to her socks, slowly taking the loose parts of her socks and slowly pulling them off her feet. She put the socks into Scootaloo's shoes for the next time she puts them on.

"My foster parents suck... they took away my scooter because I got bad grades at school..." Scootaloo groaned.

"Man... that sucks..." Rainbow Dash replied; she now had to take off Scootaloo's running shorts.

"My foster mom told me that if I don't get good grades then I won't be able to see my friends for another two weeks..." Scootaloo said.

"That's harsh..." Rainbow Dash said back, now moving up to work on the shorts.

Rainbow Dash now reached over to Scootaloo's shorts and dipped her finger into the waistline and started to pull down the shorts, Scootaloo wiggled her legs to help Rainbow Dash speed up the process and now Rainbow Dash had pulled off her shorts and left her with just her orange t-shirt and her white cotton undies. Rainbow Dash then placed the shorts on the other side of the changing table

She then paused for a moment to think of a way to get the diaper on Scootaloo without leaving her naked for a minute long, pondering for a moment she came up with a small idea.

"Scoots, when I pull down your undies, cover yourself up with your t-shirt. Okay?" Rainbow Dash calmly spoke to Scootaloo, who away from the ceiling to see that Rainbow Dash had leaned forward a little bit further and Scootaloo quickly grabbed her orange t-shirt to cover herself up from her impending nakedness. Rainbow Dash placed one hand on the side of Scootaloo's undies and began to slowly pull them down which gave Scootaloo enough time to cover herself up and wait for Rainbow Dash to apply the diaper onto her.

After Rainbow Dash put Scootaloo's clothing on the other side of the changing table, it was time for the diaper, the pivotal moment that Scootaloo was waiting for.

Rainbow Dash grabbed the diaper that Fluttershy handed her and started to unfold the thick white undergarment and began to stretch out the tapes, Rainbow Dash had now properly unfolded the diaper and was ready to put in on Scootaloo.

"Lift up your bottom." Rainbow Dash politely asked Scootaloo, she nodded whilst still holding onto her t-shirt, lifting up her bottom, allowing Rainbow Dash to slide the diaper under her. After Rainbow Dash stopped pushing the diaper under her, Scootaloo let herself sink back down to the surface of the changing table.

Feeling the very soft material the diaper is made out of under her bottom made her body tingle on the inside, Rainbow Dash reached from the front of the diaper and lifted it over Scootaloo's crotch area and placed it down. Scootaloo tucked her t-shirt out of the diaper allowing Rainbow Dash to grab the side tapes and stretch them over to the front of the diaper.

As Rainbow Dash tightened the tapes to the front of the diaper, Scootaloo felt very strange on the outside and the inside of her body. Her stomach was tying knots whilst the rest of her body was starting to tingle because of the incredibly soft material in between Scootaloo's legs, she smiled at Rainbow Dash and she also returned a smile back.

"There." Rainbow Dash rubbed her hands. "How does it feel?" Rainbow Dash asked her little friend, feeling proud of what she just did.

"It feels..." Scootaloo was at a loss for words, she placed her hand on the front of the diaper and rubbed the material trying to explore and investigate the strange undergarment. "It feels funny under my legs..."

"It'll feel weird for a few minutes and then you'll get used to it." Rainbow Dash leaned forward over to Scootaloo still lying down on the changing table; Rainbow dug her hand under Scootaloo's back and slowly but carefully helped Scootaloo lean upright as if she wasn't able to do it herself.

"So... I'm a baby again?" Scootaloo asked Rainbow Dash, the final moment, being back in diapers.

"Yeah." Rainbow Dash nodded, she put her hands under Scootaloo's arms and picked her up off the table and wrapped her arms around the child, holding her like an infant. "Aww... is my wittle Scoots going to pway wiv her toys now?" Rainbow Dash giggled a little as she held her friend close to her chest.

"Hey!" Scootaloo playfully yelled back. "I'm not a baby!" She replied.

"But my wittle Scoots is wearing her wittle diapee, you might make a mess and cwy." Rainbow Dash childishly and playfully teased Scootaloo.

"But you're wearing a diaper too!" Scootaloo argued back, knowing that Rainbow Dash was messing around, obvious because of her smile and tone of voice.

"Is my wittle Scoots hungwy? Does she want a baby bottle and some num nums..." Rainbow teased Scootaloo for the last time, knowing that her little friend possibly had enough of the babyish tone of voice thrown at her.

Rainbow Dash stopped laughing for a moment and lowered herself and placed Scootaloo onto the floor, she stood up and wiggled her legs from side to side trying to get used to the new feeling of the strange diaper she is now wearing. Rainbow Dash walked back over to the changing table and opened up the wooden door again to look for something.

"What are you doing?" Scootaloo asked Rainbow Dash.

"I'm giving you a present..." Rainbow reached in the depths of the storage cabinet of the changing table and managed to reach for the thing that she needed just for Scootaloo.

"What's that?" Scootaloo crossed her arms, curious about what Rainbow Dash was talking about.

"This." Rainbow Dash got back up holding something in her hand, it had orange colouring on it and there was an amber nipple on the end of it. She turned around to reveal it to Scootaloo, who raised an eyebrow at what Rainbow Dash had found.

"A pacifier?" Scootaloo said; feeling rather disappointed about what her idol had found for her.

"Yeah, Fluttershy's got a whole box full of 'em." Rainbow Dash walked over to Scootaloo and handed her the orange pacifier, she looked at the pacifier that Rainbow Dash had given her and looked back up at her to see what she was trying to do.

"You want me to put this in my mouth?" Scootaloo asked; feeling rather confused about what was going on.

"Yeah, you are a baby aren't you? A pacifier is pretty cool." Rainbow Dash explained.

Without thinking, Scootaloo grabbed the end of the pacifier where the handle was and then positioned the amber nipple to face her mouth; she slowly inserted the amber nipple into her mouth and began to loudly suckle on it. Rainbow beamed with happiness as she saw her little friend suck on the pacifier.

"That's a good baby; we need to go to Fluttershy now." Rainbow Dash lowered herself so that she was on the same level as Scootaloo, she extended her arms out and picked up Scootaloo like an infant once again and carried her out of the nursery.

Chapter Nine

Rainbow Dash held Scootaloo tight to her chest, still keeping her arms wrapped around her like an infant, even she had to admit that Scootaloo looked really cute lying in her arms. It was a sight that Fluttershy should see, although as Rainbow Dash walked into Fluttershy's bedroom it turned out she wasn't in there and only the lights had been left on. Rainbow Dash scanned the room from looking from the left to the right; it confirmed that Fluttershy had left the room to possibly go to the bathroom or downstairs.

"You still tired Scoots?" Rainbow Dash lowered her head while walking over to Fluttershy's bed, whispering into her little friend’s ear to see if she was still awake.

Scootaloo looked up at Rainbow Dash, she could tell that little Scootaloo was tired, her eyes looked rather red and she was starting to yawn more frequently. Scootaloo kept to her charm and sucked on the pacifier which was also causing her to fall asleep, a nice feeling inside of her wanted her to drop on the bed and close her eyes, but she still had to talk to Rainbow Dash and get used to the feeling of wearing padding in between her legs.

Rainbow Dash thought it would be best if they both lie down but keep a line of conversation so that Scootaloo would not fall asleep that fast; Rainbow Dash walked over to Fluttershy's bed and climbed on top with Scootaloo still in her arms. She slowly lowered herself along with Scootaloo that she was sitting on Rainbows lap; Rainbow Dash rested her head on the pillow and directed Scootaloo's head to rest on her chest.

"How you likin' it so far Scoots?" Rainbow Dash whispered into her little friend’s ear, trying to make some small talk.

Scootaloo reached out and plucked her pacifier out of her mouth and wrapped her fingers around the plastic handle and looked up at Rainbow Dash.

"I like it..." Scootaloo replied, sounding very tired and hungry.

"Just between you and me Scoots, you look really cute." Rainbow Dash admitted, slightly blushing in front of her little tired friend.

"Thanks..." Scootaloo yawned, placing her hand over her mouth to stop her from yawning even more.

"You know... I think Fluttershy went downstairs to get some milk and cookies, are you hungry? Do you want some food before you go to bed?" Rainbow Dash asked Scootaloo, running her fingers through her short purple hair.

"Yeah sure." Scootaloo whispered; grabbing onto Rainbows tank top even tighter, not wanting her to get up from the bed, she wanted to be with her idol for the moment.

"You must be starving Scoots; I'm guessin' your foster parents didn't feed you again." Rainbow Dash whispered, still running her fingers through Scootaloo's purple hair.

"Yeah..." Scootaloo nodded.

"Aww... baby still wants her num nums." Rainbow Dash added in her childish tone of voice that she did earlier; Scootaloo quietly giggled and dug her head back into Rainbows chest. "Don't cwy Scoots, you'll get your num nums in a minute..." Rainbow continued, prompting a slight giggle from Scootaloo.

"You're the cry baby!" Scootaloo whispered; she looked up at Rainbow Dash with a small smile.

"How come?" Rainbow Dash smirked.

"You just are..." Scootaloo yawned.

"I guess I am..." Rainbow Dash playfully admitted defeat in this small argument, causing Scootaloo to smile.

Just then, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo heard footsteps coming from the stairs, both of them turned their heads and waited for Fluttershy to come up with some cookies and milk. As Fluttershy revealed herself, she walked up holding a large food tray with a few items on the top of it. Rainbow Dash quickly inspected the tray and saw a pint cup filled to the top with milk along with two empty baby bottles and a small white bowl that had what seemed to be chocolate chip cookies filled to the top.

As Fluttershy got closer to Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo lying on her bed, she noticed that Rainbow Dash had wrapped her arms around Scootaloo and she was missing some of her clothing. Mainly her shorts and shoes but she noticed that Rainbow Dash had managed to put the diaper on her without too much of a problem.

"Did you put the diaper on correctly?" Fluttershy politely asked Rainbow Dash as she walked over to her bed and placed the tray onto the table next to her bed. She turned around and sat back down, but closer to Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo than last time.

"Yeah, I did it the way you did it for me." Rainbow Dash replied, still holding Scootaloo in her arms. "Scoots, foods here." Rainbow lightly tapped Scootaloo in the shoulders to wake her up from her quick sleep.

Scootaloo leaned up and sat upright on Rainbow Dash's lap and rubbed her eyes to see that Fluttershy was sitting down right next to her giving a nice welcome smile.

"Are you alright Scootaloo? I'm really sorry about earlier." Fluttershy apologized.

"It's okay... Rainbow Dash helped me put on the diaper..." Scootaloo giggled.

"I know; she's such a smart baby." Fluttershy praised Rainbow Dash, causing her to blush.

"And a really big one." Scootaloo added.

"Now... umm... I brought up some milk and cookies for both of you to enjoy... I'm not that hungry..." Fluttershy finished up by explaining the reason why she brought up the cookies and milk for Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, she leaned over to the tray and picked up the two baby bottles and opened the top of the lids to allow milk to be poured in. After Fluttershy set down the baby bottles now with the lids opened, she picked up the pint glass full of milk and slowly poured in the milk into both bottles until they were equally full. She grabbed the tops of the bottles and closed the lids so that Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo could use them properly.

"Thank you Fluttershy." Scootaloo politely thanked Fluttershy for the food and drink.

"Aww... it's no problem Scootaloo..." Fluttershy blushed, she felt really happy that she was able to look after her babies and they were so receiving of it. "I'm just trying my best to keep my babies happy." She explained.

Fluttershy picked up the bottles and handed them both to Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo looked down at the amber nipple and saw it was similar to the pacifier that she had used while resting on Rainbows chest.

"Aren't you gonna use the bottle Scoots?" Rainbow Dash nudged Scootaloo on her shoulders; she turned around to see that Rainbow Dash had shoved her bottle into her mouth and began sucking on the nipple to get the milk out.

"I'm not sure..." Scootaloo looked back down at the bottle, unsure whether to drink from it.

"Um... if it helps Scootaloo... I can help you drink from the bottle..." Fluttershy leaned over and put her hand on Scootaloo's shoulder, promising to help her little baby with any problem.

"Okay..." Scootaloo nodded, she crawled to the other side of the bed where Fluttershy was sitting with her bottle in hand and she climbed up onto Fluttershy's lap and waited for her to put the bottle into her mouth.

"Just tell me when you had enough and I'll put the bottle down." Fluttershy said as she picked up the bottle from Scootaloo's hands and repositioned it so that the nipple was pointing directly towards Scootaloo's mouth, slowly but surely Fluttershy inserted the bottle into the child’s mouth and she put her lips around the bottle but she did not suck on it.

"C'mon Scoots, do it for me." Rainbow Dash cheered her little friend onto sucking the baby bottle; Scootaloo hesitated for a moment before she started to actually suck on the nipple itself. As Fluttershy held Scootaloo with her arm, she noticed that Scootaloo grabbed into the bottle by herself so that she could position the bottle to her liking.

Fluttershy slowly cradled Scootaloo whilst she drank her milk; Rainbow Dash saw this as a really nice and cute scene between Fluttershy and Scootaloo. After Rainbow Dash finished her bottle of milk, she put the bottle on the food tray and reached for some of the cookies in the bowl, stuffing them into her mouth and loudly chewing on them.

Scootaloo was starting to feel strangely more full-up with the milk now in her, but it was also starting to make her tired, with the cradling done by Fluttershy and the delicious taste of the milk, she was likely to fall asleep in just a few minutes.

After Scootaloo drank from her bottle, Fluttershy grabbed Scootaloo's pacifier and put it back in her mouth, which caused Scootaloo to naturally suck on it.

"Has my baby enjoyed her milk?" Fluttershy cooed.

Scootaloo weakly nodded as she strained to keep her eyes open to look at Fluttershy.

"It's bed time for little Scootaloo now, she's getting really tired after her bottle of milk." Fluttershy turned her head to Rainbow Dash, who carelessly stuffed her face with the bowl of cookies.

"Aww..." Rainbow cooed. "I think Scootaloo should use the crib, after all. She is just a little baby." Rainbow Dash implied to Fluttershy that she should use the crib inside of the nursery.

"I'm not sure she might like it..." Fluttershy used her delicate strength to pick up Scootaloo like an infant and rest her head on her shoulder, rubbing her hands over Scootaloo's back to calm her down and relax a little more.

"She's a baby, let her have some fun." Rainbow Dash tried to convince Fluttershy.

"I guess... it's okay if she sleeps in the crib tonight... I mean... if she doesn't like it... I think she could just climb out of the crib... but then she might hurt herself trying to get out..." Fluttershy rambled on, starting to worry about all of the outcomes of Scootaloo climbing over the crib to get out and sleep somewhere else.

"She won't get out; she's a heavy sleeper." Rainbow Dash finished stuffing the cookies into her mouth and then swallowed down the chewed up remains, she put her pacifier into her mouth and then began to wait for Fluttershy to come back out of the nursery.

Fluttershy walked into the nursery with Scootaloo wrapped in her arms being held like an infant, seeing that Rainbow Dash had left the light switch on and Scootaloo's clothing were on the top of the changing table, it was an obvious sign that Rainbow Dash had been at work. She turned around to face the crib in all of its glory; the blankets were now changed with pretty pictures of flowers and green grass with the image of a bright clear sky.

As Fluttershy got near the crib, she lifted up Scootaloo and then lowered her down into the crib as soft as possible without waking her up. Scootaloo's head touched the big pillow at the front of the crib and then Fluttershy placed her down with success, she leaned over and grabbed the blanket at the other end of the bed and pulled it over so it was placed on top of her.

It was such a beautiful sight to see such a young and beautiful child lying in her crib sucking on her pacifier, Fluttershy leaned back up and noticed that Scootaloo had turned herself around and was now lying on her stomach.

"You're such a beautiful baby Scootaloo... it's a shame that you have to go home tomorrow..." Fluttershy leaned back down and whispered to herself, she placed her hand on Scootaloo's head and ran her fingers through Scootaloo's short purple hair and it was a touching scene for Fluttershy herself.

"Rainbow Dash looks after you like a sister, she tries her best with everything and she wants you to do your best." Fluttershy whispered to herself once again.

And with that, Fluttershy leaned down again for the final time and gave Scootaloo a small kiss on her forehead, sealing the deal and hoping that she has pleasant dreams throughout the rest of the night. Fluttershy leaned back up and breathed in, feeling like something was accomplished today and she felt like a true mother by all instincts.

"Sweet dreams Scootaloo..." Fluttershy wished Scootaloo a good night and then walked out of the nursery now having to deal with Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow Dash had turned on the small TV in Fluttershy's bedroom and was now relaxing herself watching kid’s cartoons, slightly giggling at the cartoons for her enjoyment while still sucking on her pacifier. She heard the nursery door close from the outside of the room and she saw Fluttershy walk into her room, she noticed that the small TV was on and Rainbow Dash had been relaxing all this time.

"How did it go?" Rainbow Dash asked her friend, still keeping her eyes locked onto watching the cartoons.

"She was like an angel." Fluttershy blushed a bright red around her cheeks; she walked over to her drawer and opened the top door to find her pyjamas, neatly digging through her clothing to find her night gown.

"So you put her in the crib right?" Rainbow Dash continued to talk, trying to start another conversation between them.

"Yes, I think she likes it." Fluttershy managed to find her night gown and decided to put it on when she was out of sight, the gown itself was a very long gown that looked like it went down to her ankles. Colored yellow made out of a soft material that made her feel comfortable, but she wasn't able to change into her sleep wear while Rainbow Dash was in the room.

"Cool." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Um... Dashie... can I ask you something please?" Fluttershy began to blush again, holding her neatly folded night gown in her arms.

"Yeah?" Rainbow kept her eyes onto the TV but she carefully listened to what her friend had to say.

"Uh... I'm just going to... you know... go into my pyjamas... hope that's okay with you..." Fluttershy whispered to her friend, hoping that she'd understand what she was trying to say even though she was talking so quietly.

"Oh, no problems Fluttershy, I won't look at you." Rainbow understood what it meant to Fluttershy when it came to her own privacy and so she picked up one of the pillows she was lying and covered up her vision so that she could see the TV and not Fluttershy while she changed clothing. But with that, Fluttershy still felt a little uncomfortable getting ready for bed with one of her friends in the room, but she had to be brave and change her clothing as fast as possible.

As Rainbow Dash watched TV, Fluttershy quickly undone the buttons on the front of her jeans and let them drop to the ground, she quickly picked up her trousers revealing her pink cotton undies, she then put her trousers on her dressing table and then quickly took off her yellow sweater and put that aside onto her dressing table and neatly folded up her sweater next to her jeans. She then grabbed her night gown and quickly unfolded it and placed it over her head and popped her arms through the holes and now was wearing her sleep wear.

"Dashie... I'm uh... finished..." Fluttershy neatly folded her clothing on the top of her table and walked over to the wash basket in the corner of her room, she put her clothing in the basket for tomorrow to be cleaned. Rainbow Dash then put down the pillow and saw what Fluttershy was wearing, she couldn't help but snicker at what she was wearing. Her night gown was that long it had gone down to her ankles, completely covering up her entire body other than her feet.

"I'll just sleep in my diaper and tank top." Rainbow Dash looked back at the TV, enjoying the cartoons that she was watching.

"Are you sure you don't want a spare night gown Dashie? It can get awfully cold in the night." Fluttershy walked over to Rainbow Dash and sat down on her bed, she positioned herself so that she was lying next to Rainbow Dash whilst able to look at the TV and watch it. She put her hands on her stomach and watched the cartoons along with Dash, but Rainbow Dash had other plans.

"I don't usually wear anything to bed anyways." Rainbow Dash said.

"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked her friend, rather confused at what she said.

"I don't wear any clothes to bed, don't like it. But this diaper is pretty comfy." Rainbow Dash explained.

"You mean... you... sleep..." Fluttershy began to blush again. "Nude?" Fluttershy whispered quietly for the sake of decency.

"Yeah, nothing wrong with that." Rainbow Dash said back, she sat upright and wrapped her arm around Fluttershy and embraced her into a small hug.

"Dashie... um... I want to ask you something... but I don't know if it's okay to talk about it though..." Fluttershy wanted to know something about Scootaloo, but asking Rainbow Dash would be a step in the right direction to know her a little more.

"What's the matter?" Dash asked, turning her head to look at Fluttershy.

"Well... uh... you know when you were putting a diaper on... you know... um... Scootaloo... I heard you talking about her..." Fluttershy leaned close to Rainbows ear. "Foster Parents" she whispered.

"Her dumb foster parents?" Rainbow Dash replied back. "What about them?" She asked.

"Well... I heard Scootaloo say that they aren't really that nice to her... is this... true?" Fluttershy spoke calmly to Rainbow Dash.

"Well..." Rainbow Dash pondered. "How can I put this? ... They're evil... okay? They don't look after Scootaloo like actual parents should, and they constantly belittle her and call her names because she ain't doing that good in school lately." Rainbow Dash explained.

"Oh my... that's horrible..." Fluttershy gasped.

"She's being bullied at school by two little pipsqueaks, her foster parents don't like her and she is having a bad time at school when it comes to her grades." Rainbow Dash said.

"I can't believe they don't look after Scootaloo... why would they do that?" Fluttershy was speechless, she felt like crying because of what Rainbow Dash was telling her.

"Don't know..." Rainbow Dash paused. "The worst thing is lately... she came up to me a few days ago and told me that she started to have trouble sleeping and now she is always tired, but the worst thing is that when she does get to sleep, she ends up wetting the bed because she is so scared of what her foster parents are going to do next to her." Rainbow Dash explained.

"That's horrible... truly horrible... when did you notice her foster parents doing bad stuff to her..." Fluttershy squeaked.

"I offered a couple of times to take her to places like the park and stuff to get her out of the house for a few days, after she left her house she looked really happy, but then after we went back home she felt really miserable. I thought she was having too much fun, y'know? But then I found out that her foster father grabbed her around the collar and locked her in her own room, I went mad at them..." Rainbow Dash continued to talk to Fluttershy about Scootaloo.

Fluttershy wiped a small tear that came from her eye; she just couldn't believe that someone would do such a thing to a lovely and sweet child like Scootaloo.

"It's alright Fluttershy... we've still got tomorrow until she goes home, we can spend some time with her and make her pretty happy." Rainbow Dash patted Fluttershy on her back to try and calm her down, but it wasn't working.

"They scared her so much that she wets the bed... that's just mean..." Fluttershy sniffled, trying to hold back the rest of her tears.

"Scoots has told me, they don't even try and help her with her bed wetting problem, they don't even go to the Doctors to talk about it and find a solution... it's really a good thing that Scoots wanted to wear a diaper tonight, you won't have to clean up the crib." Rainbow Dash said to an upset Fluttershy.

"Maybe that's the reason why she wanted to wear one... because there was no other... you know... solutions..." Fluttershy added.

"She ain't got no other family to go to, no one wants her around... it's a shame, she's a cool kid." Rainbow glumly looked away from Fluttershy.

"I'd look after her..." Fluttershy squeaked, she meekly whispered what she wanted to say.

Rainbow Dash quickly turned her head in surprise; she didn't expect Fluttershy to say anything like that.

"Y-Y... You would?" Rainbow Dash was really surprised.

"Yes." It was the only thing Fluttershy replied with.

"You would seriously adopt Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash leaned up and looked at Fluttershy; she couldn't believe what her friend was staying.

"She is a lovely child... and... as you know... I've always wanted a child that I can look after..." Fluttershy began to blush.

"But... you said you wanted a baby..." Rainbow Dash replied back, still not being able to believe what Fluttershy was staying.

"That's why I have you... you are a wonderful baby..." Fluttershy looked right into Rainbow Dash's eyes, not looking away.

"But what about Scootaloo being a baby?" Rainbow Dash asked her friend.

"Well... I like both of you being babies for me... but... Scootaloo is a growing child and... I would let her have a choice if she wants to be treated like a baby or not... you know... like that agreement we had... where you come over every Saturday and... Act like a baby for me..." Fluttershy took her time to explain what she felt had to be said; Rainbow Dash closely listened to what she had to say about wanting to adopt Scootaloo.

"Woah..." Rainbow Dash said. "Can't believe that you are actually going to adopt Scootaloo... man... it's a big responsibility and you are going to try your best... I can't believe you..." Rainbow Dash didn't know what to say, she was completely gob smacked that Fluttershy was going ahead with her plans.

"I also kind of noticed something... between you and Scootaloo..." Fluttershy began to blush a bright red around her cheeks.

"What?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow, wondering what the connection was.

"You're like a big sister to Scootaloo... I think it's adorable..." Fluttershy gave a small smile while still blushing a bright red.

"Thanks..." Rainbow Dash also blushed.

"I think... well... everything will be better tomorrow... I'd like to tell Scootaloo what I would like to do..." Fluttershy leaned forward and grabbed her bed blanket which was on the other side of her bed, she pulled it over her but Rainbow Dash was in the way sitting on her padded rear on the other side of the bed.

"I guess going to bed ain't a bad idea." Rainbow pondered for a moment, she moved forward closer to Fluttershy and laid herself down right next to her best friend, waiting to be wrapped in the bed blanket.

"I'm really sorry that I haven't payed that much attention to you since Scootaloo came here, I was just so busy... I hope you can understand..." Fluttershy apologized as she pulled the blanket over her and Rainbow Dash.

"It's no problem... my little 'sister' needed more attention than me, after all... she is the youngest baby in the house." Rainbow Dash put emphasis on the words 'sister", she giggled slightly causing Fluttershy to smile.

"Now baby, I'll let you sleep in my bed with me just for once night, and then I'll be able to buy another crib later on next week... maybe even a bigger one so that you can fit in it perfectly." Fluttershy cooed, she put her hand on Rainbows head and began to run her fingers through her rainbow colored hair.

"I'll try my best not to cry." Rainbow Dash giggled as she playfully spoke to Fluttershy.

"Mommy is here to look after you if you wake up in the night." Fluttershy then moved her hand and wrapped it round Rainbow Dash into a nice warm hug, it felt really nice for Rainbow Dash.

"What am I going to have for breakfast?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Anything you want baby, I'll give you and Scootaloo a bottle of milk and then some breakfast." Fluttershy whispered; she closed her eyes trying to get to sleep.

"Good night Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash hugged back to her mommy and held tight onto her while closing her eyes now trying to get some sleep.

As Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy both went to sleep at the same time, a small howl of wind passed by the cottage followed by the slight pitter-patter of weak falling from the sky. The storm outside was brewing while Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo all slept under a nice warm roof together.

Rainbow Dash held her mother close as the faint sounds of the wind made her feel like a true infant once again, staying close to her warm and lovely mother made her really happy while the thoughts of Scootaloo lingered in the back of her mind like a burning image.

Chapter Ten

One Morning Later...

Fluttershy took a sip of her tea and then placed her cup back down onto the kitchen table and flipped a page in her newly bought magazine, reading up all the latest tips on how to look after children in her Parenting Weekly magazine. The sun was shining through the kitchen blinds and the birds outside were chirping and the stove was turned on, Fluttershy put down her magazine for a moment and stood up from her table chair and walked over to her stone and twisted a few of the knobs on the front of the stove to cool down the contents it was cooking.

She picked up a pot which had a large amount of nicely cooked porridge inside of it and began to pour the porridge into the one of the bowls that were placed on the work space, letting the porridge fill up the bowl to half-point she stopped and put back the pot on top of the stove and left the cooker to slowly warm up the porridge for when her babies come downstairs.

After placing the bowl on her kitchen table, she then grabbed a spoon and a small container that had fresh honey inside of it and began to pour it out on top of the porridge and used her spoon to mix it in with the porridge. After she poured in the right amount of porridge, she then began to eat the porridge while looking at the magazine while it was still on the table.

Fluttershy felt happy eating her morning porridge knowing that today she would try and summon up the courage to try and adopt Scootaloo, yet feeling scared at the same time knowing that she was going to take the responsibility to look after an eight year old child.

As Fluttershy was eating her delicious porridge, she noticed that Rainbow Dash was standing in between the door frame connecting to the living room and the kitchen. Still wearing only her diaper and her tank top she slowly walked over to Fluttershy and wrapped her arms around her, Fluttershy couldn't say anything as she had a mouthful of delicious honey porridge.

"Morning Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash hugged her best friend.

Fluttershy quickly swallowed the hot porridge and looked up at her baby.

"Good morning Rainbow Dash, did my baby have enough sleep?" Fluttershy asked, panting a little from how hot the porridge in her mouth was.

"Yeah, I felt pretty comfortable." Rainbow Dash let go of Fluttershy and grabbed one of the table chairs and placed it right next to Fluttershy so that she could sit with her while she ate her breakfast.

"As long as my baby gets her hours rest then I'm happy." Fluttershy turned to Rainbow Dash and gave her a slight pat on the back, Rainbow Dash blushed a little as she reached within her own tank-top and pulled out of her pacifier, and she then inserted it into her mouth and began to suck on it.

"Does Dashie want her breakfast now?" Fluttershy took another spoonful of porridge and put it into her mouth and then swallowed it down, she then grabbed her bowl and stood up and placed it in her kitchen sink and slightly turned on the tap.

Rainbow Dash didn't respond; she only nodded up and down with the pacifier still in her mouth. Fluttershy smiled as she walked over to the fridge and opened the fridge door and reached in for the baby bottle with milk in it, she pulled it out and closed the fridge door and then walked over to Rainbow Dash.

"So... uh... do you wanna hold the bottle or do you want me to?" Fluttershy blushed as she asked her baby.

Rainbow Dash grabbed hold of her pacifier and plucked it out of her mouth.

"Nah, I'll hold it." Rainbow Dash smiled, she reached over for the ice cold bottle full of milk and slowly grabbed it off Fluttershy and she quickly inserted it into her mouth. Now suckling the milk from the bottle, Fluttershy gave off a small smile and walked back over to her kitchen workspace and then opened her cupboards to look for food in preparation for what Rainbow Dash was going to ask for.

"Dashie, is there any food that you would like to eat?" Fluttershy pulled out a few cans of food and various breads in preparation for her breakfast meal, Rainbow Dash pulled her bottle out of her mouth and then put her hand on her chin.

"Do you have... any... tomato soup? The one without the chunks in it?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy.

"Uh... let me see..." Fluttershy looked inside her kitchen cupboard to have a look for the tomato soup, she rummaged in between certain cans and containers full of food when she found some tomato soup. "I found some." Fluttershy said to Rainbow Dash, she then plucked out the can of tomato soup and walked over to the stove and grabbed one of the pots and placed it on top of the stove.

"Cool, I'll drink it from a bowl." Rainbow Dash had finished her milk in her bottle and she put the bottle down on the kitchen table and now waited for Fluttershy to finish her breakfast.

As the cooking went on, Rainbow Dash sat down and patiently waited for the tomato soup without talking to Fluttershy, this went on for about thirty minutes and only the sounds of the stove and the tea kettle were only heard. Rainbow Dash broke the silence, she got up from her chair and walked over to Fluttershy who was busy cooking and she wrapped her arms around Fluttershy's waist which seemed to startle her.

"So how are you gonna look after little Scoots? Have you prepared anything?" Rainbow Dash lowered her voice and whispered into Fluttershy's ear.

"Uh... I was thinking of turning the guest room into a bedroom for Scootaloo... and I could you know... walk her to school every morning..." Fluttershy began to blush now that they were both on the subject of Scootaloo, Fluttershy felt very odd now that Rainbow Dash had wrapped her arms around her.

"That's a pretty cool idea." Rainbow acknowledged, hugging her friend even tighter.

"I uh... could play some board games with her and we could watch TV together..." Fluttershy continued to cook the tomato soup for Rainbow Dash, ignoring her friends hugging.

"What about taking her out to places like the park and stuff?" Rainbow asked.

"We could go to the park and have some picnics together... you can come along if you want to..." Fluttershy said.

"That's nice." Rainbow said. "What about things like reading books to her, giving her baths and helping her with homework?" Rainbow added.

"I'll try my best to make her happy." Fluttershy was nearly finished with the tomato soup; all she had to do is pour it into the spare bowl for Rainbow Dash.

"Wow." Rainbow Dash replied, sounding rather impressed. "You're really planning this out aren't ya'?" Rainbow kept her arms around Fluttershy; she then rested her head on her friends back and waited for Fluttershy to pour the soup into the bowl.

"Well... I didn't have much time to think it out... I sat down this morning before you woke up and I was reading this magazine about looking after children and babies... it's on the table..." Fluttershy explained to Rainbow Dash, she let go of her friend and walked over to the table to pick up the magazine that Fluttershy was reading. Rainbow only skimmed through the pages, not taking much interest in the information but she saw that it had very helpful ways of looking after children and techniques to calm them down and making them happy.

"So you’re reading all of this stuff to try and learn about looking after Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash put down the magazine and left it open on the page that Fluttershy was reading and walked back over to her friend, but by the time she had walked over, it seemed that Fluttershy had poured in the soup into one of the bowls and was ready to serve Rainbow Dash.

"I'm going to try my best and make her life happy." Fluttershy said to Rainbow Dash as she walked over to the table and placed down the bowl of soup onto the table, Rainbow Dash then sat down and grabbed one of the spoons and began to tuck into her breakfast. She inserted it into her mouth and was amazed by the perfect cooking that Fluttershy had pulled off; she turned around with warm soup in her mouth and smiled at Fluttershy.

"This soup is pretty good!" Rainbow muffled as liquid soup was still in her mouth.

"I'm glad you like it Dashie." Fluttershy smiled, knowing that Rainbow Dash had a good and delicious meal to eat while she had to do one last thing. Fluttershy walked over to the corner of the kitchen and reached in the crevices of the corner of the room and pulled out a highchair designed for babies.

"Is that for Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash asked her friend.

"I think so... I don't know if she would like to sit in the high chair... I mean... she might get a little embarrassed about it." Fluttershy placed the high chair next to the table, Rainbow Dash inspected the high chair and saw that the plastic tray attached to the highchair could be taken off and there were small straps that kept the baby from slipping out.

"Nah, she'll do it." Rainbow Dash replied, going back to her soup.

"Okay... uh... I'll go upstairs and wake up Scootaloo..." Fluttershy began to blush, she took a deep breath in and started to turn around and walk out of the kitchen, but as she walked out, Rainbow Dash put down her soup and watched her friend go upstairs.

"Don't forget to change the baby’s diaper!" Rainbow giggled rather loudly, Fluttershy ignored Rainbow's quick teasing and continued on upstairs to wake up Scootaloo.

Fluttershy slowly opened the nursery door to be then welcomed by a shade of darkness, small beams of light was making its way through the nursery windows as Fluttershy made her way in. Looking at the crib, Fluttershy noticed that the crib guards were still down to their original places and Scootaloo was still sleeping in the crib.

She took a few more steps closer to the crib and grabbed onto the top of the guards and began to lower herself down to try and wake up Scootaloo, but instead of calling her name, Fluttershy instead used her hand to take the crib blanket and take it off Scootaloo. Revealing her diaper and her orange t-shirt which she had been wearing all night, but something was very strange. Even in the dark, Fluttershy could see something on Scootaloo which she hadn't noticed before, Fluttershy hesitated for a moment but she slowly placed her hand on the back of Scootaloo's diaper and felt it to make sure that she wasn't in that certain situation.

Taking note of what Rainbow Dash had said about Scootaloo and her bed wetting problems, it seemed that Scootaloo had actually used her diaper during her sleep and was not affected by it in anyway. Fluttershy somewhat expected this slight turn of events and took the challenge herself to wake her up and alert her of what she had done during her sleep.

"Um... excuse me Scootaloo..." Fluttershy whispered to the purple haired child in an attempt to wake her up, she used her hand and tapped the child on the shoulder. The result of Fluttershy's light tapping was that Scootaloo groaned in her sleep a little before turning round onto her back.

Scootaloo raised her arms up to her face and start to rub her eyes, groaning and sighing, Scootaloo slowly opened her eyes to see that she was in a very dark room with a figure hanging over her. Scootaloo first noticed the crib guard either side of her; she yawned and then raised her arms into the air trying to grab the silhouetted figure standing above her.

"Good morning Scootaloo..." Fluttershy whispered, she leaned forward and lowered her hand and grabbed hold of Scootaloo's hand.

"Morning Fluttershy..." Scootaloo weakly yawned, feeling very tired and comfortable in the crib which she realized that felt like she had slept in, which was a strange feeling for her.

"It's time to wake up little one." Fluttershy kindly spoke with a nice smile on her face, although in the back of her mind she dreaded the reaction that Scootaloo would have when she would find out about what she did during her sleep, it was only a matter of time until it happened.

Fluttershy leaned down even more and grabbed Scootaloo by her side and started to pick her up, slowly making sure that Scootaloo didn't hurt her while she was being lifted out of the crib. After that, Scootaloo was now held in the arms of Fluttershy, she was being moved over to the changing table, yet Scootaloo was unaware of her wet diaper until Fluttershy moved her and placed her down on the changing table.

Scootaloo instantly felt something wet and squishy protrude her backside when she felt like she had sat down in a bucket full of water, she looked up at Fluttershy who had a spare diaper in her hand and then it all sank in of what she had done to herself. Tears began to well up in Scootaloo and the child began to cover her eyes letting out small quiet sobs and sniffles, Fluttershy noticed that Scootaloo was now starting to cry; she put down the fresh diaper on the surface of the changing table and quickly attended to Scootaloo's tears.

"It's okay Scootaloo... it's just uh... an accident... its okay..." Fluttershy calmly spoke to the crying Scootaloo; the purple haired child moved her hands out of the way to reveal to Fluttershy that tears were now falling down her face while she sat in the wet diaper.

"I can't believe this is happening... I'm such a big dumb baby!" Scootaloo sobbed, feeling scared and very upset about what she had done in the night. She couldn't believe that she had done it again, especially in someone else's home; after all of the scolding she got from her foster parents started to add up, she couldn't help but properly cry out loud.

"Scootaloo... please don't cry... it's only an accident... you're not a dumb baby..." Fluttershy tried to calm down Scootaloo, she quietly hushed her to make her stop, but it really wasn't working.

"I tried to wet the bed again, didn't I... please don't tell my foster parents!" Scootaloo sobbed and pleaded to Fluttershy, she held onto Fluttershy's yellow sweater tightly hoping that she wouldn't tell anyone about what had happened.

"I'm not going to Scootaloo... it's okay... it's just an accident... you aren't in trouble... its okay... you just... well... went in your diaper instead..." Fluttershy picked up Scootaloo from the changing table, still leaving her in the wet diaper and held her in her arms once again like an infant.

"I-I'm not in trouble?" Scootaloo choked, she didn't understand what was going on, she expected someone to either scold her or wait to be punished, but she didn't get that from Fluttershy. All Scootaloo got from Fluttershy was love and care like what a real mother would do, she wasn't being punished for wetting her diaper, she got attention and perfect care from her friend.

"No." Fluttershy hushed Scootaloo, rubbing the child’s back in an attempt to calm her down just like a real baby. "I would never hurt my babies if they did something they weren't able to control... um... I won't tell anyone about what happened." Fluttershy put her hand on Scootaloo's purple hair and then rested the child’s head onto her chest.

"Rainbow Dash told me... you know... about your bed wetting problems... and it's okay... you don't have to be... uh... ashamed of it..." Fluttershy began to lose words, she didn't know what to say that would keep Scootaloo from crying, but she knew that the child needed to be changed and cleaned up for one thing.

"You mean... you aren't going to tell my foster parents... I wet the bed..." Scootaloo sniffled, it seemed that she had calmed down and was taking the time to listen to what Fluttershy had to say to her.

"No, of course I wouldn't and... uh... you wet your diaper..." Fluttershy corrected the child. "Let's get you changed..." Fluttershy walked back over to the changing table with Scootaloo still in her arms and placed her back down on the changing table, she picked up the spare diaper and some of the baby wipes that were on the shelves and prepared her to change Scootaloo.

"I'm really sorry Fluttershy... I didn't mean to wet my diaper like a stupid baby..." Scootaloo apologized to her friend.

"It’s okay baby, its okay... these things happen... please don't cry... I feel sad when you cry..." Fluttershy sweetly replied to Scootaloo, she put down the spare diaper on the changing table and began to change her wet diaper so that she would be cleaned up, dropping all fear and using her motherly instincts to make sure that the whole situation was done quickly without too many problems.

Rainbow Dash had finally finished off her delicious warm tomato soup as she took her bowl and spoon and placed them in the kitchen sink, she turned on the tap and began to wash up the contents in which she had ate from. She was busy with her cleaning until she heard a thumping coming straight from the living room, Rainbow quickly wrapped the spoon and bowl around with a small towel and walked out of the kitchen to see that Fluttershy was walking downstairs with Scootaloo in her arms.

"Well, look who's awake!" Rainbow Dash cheered at Scootaloo and Fluttershy, Scootaloo gave a little wave and a smile, feeling pretty happy that Rainbow Dash was still around.

Fluttershy carried Scootaloo down to the base of the stairs where Rainbow Dash waited for them to come down, Scootaloo turned herself to see that Rainbow Dash extended her arms out so that she would carry Scootaloo into the kitchen so that they would have breakfast.

"How’s the little baby doing?" Rainbow Dash grabbed Scootaloo from Fluttershy after she was passed along, Scootaloo grabbed Rainbow Dash and wrapped her arms around her idol and started to hug her tightly.

"I'm okay Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo replied to her friend and gave a little smile to give the all clear.

"Did you sleep well?" Rainbow asked.

"Yeah." Scootaloo nodded.

"Good, are you ready for some breakfast?" Rainbow asked.

"Sounds cool." Scootaloo rested her head on her friends shoulder and waited to be carried into the kitchen.

"Uh... Scootaloo... what would you like to eat?" Fluttershy broke in between their conversation and moved a little closer to Scootaloo.

"Um..." Scootaloo thought for a moment, she hadn't eaten anything good in a long time that filled her up properly. "I don't know..." Scootaloo finally replied to Fluttershy.

"You like cereal don't you?" Rainbow Dash asked her little friend, Scootaloo tilted her head and looked upwards at her idol.

"I guess..." Scootaloo shrugged.

"I have some... well... it's not cereal... but porridge... cooking on the stove... its okay if you don't want it Scootaloo..." Fluttershy realized about the porridge in the pot she had forgotten and mentioned it to Scootaloo, both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy waited for a response from the child.

"Uh..." Scootaloo groaned, not being able to make her make up. "I guess porridge sounds cool..." She added.

"I'll warm up the stove again and get a spare bowl from the cupboard." Fluttershy turned around and walked into the kitchen, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo soon followed as Scootaloo took first glance of Fluttershy's very nice and clean looking kitchen, compared to the one at her home with her foster parents, this one blows it out the water. Scootaloo also noticed that Rainbow Dash was carrying her to a large highchair that most likely would be able to fit her, she didn't like the idea of sitting in a highchair, but it was all part of the fun and the experience while it lasted.

"I'm going in that highchair?" Scootaloo asked Rainbow Dash, she stopped in her tracks and looked back down at Scootaloo.

"Why not? You're still a baby, might as well have some fun before you go home." Rainbow Dash replied to Scootaloo.

"Okay..." Scootaloo whispered.

Rainbow used her spare arm to grab hold of the plastic tray attached to the highchair and managed to rip it off its plastic locks, she then leaned forward a little and placed Scootaloo onto the seat of the highchair, after Scootaloo felt more comfortable, Rainbow Dash then put the plastic tray back on the highchair. It was a tight fit for Scootaloo, but she felt fine. Getting a nice view of the kitchen, but also feeling young and helpless for being in such a babyish contraption.

"Oh gee, Fluttershy..." Rainbow Dash turned around to face her friend cooking the porridge on the stove.

"Yes Dashie?" Fluttershy politely replied.

"Where is that bib?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"In the cupboard." Fluttershy replied.

Rainbow quickly walked over to the kitchen cupboard and opened it up to reveal the cans full of various foods and soups, she moved them around to find a small bib lying in the back of the cupboard, and she grabbed it and gave it a quick inspection. It was made out of plain white cotton and there was small reading of pink text that said "LITTLE GIRL" on the front of it.

"Found it! Rainbow Dash yelled out, she closed the cupboard door and walked back over to Scootaloo who was still in the high chair. " Let’s put dis wittle bib on the baby... " Rainbow started to do her childish voice again, causing Scootaloo to elicit a giggle. She moved around to the back of the high chair and wrapped the bib around Scootaloo's neck, tying a tight bow on the end of the strings so that it wouldn't fall off.

"All done." Rainbow Dash patted Scootaloo on the back and then walked around to stand in front of her; she crossed her arms and noticed that Scootaloo placed her hands on the plastic tray, waiting for some delicious food.

"Uh... Dashie... the porridge needs to be heated up again... but I have a bottle of milk for Scootaloo..." Fluttershy stopped her cooking and walked over to the work space to pick up one of the baby bottles she had filled with ice cold milk earlier and walked over to Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, now seeing that Scootaloo was now in the high chair, she noticed her little feet dangling from the top of the high chair, such an adorable scene that Fluttershy couldn't help but smile at.

"Seems that wittle Scoots has to wait a wittle bit wonger to get her num nums." Rainbow Dash continued her childish voice, causing Scootaloo to smile and giggle again. While they were playing, Fluttershy slipped in the bottle of milk and placed it on the plastic tray for when they were over with their little games.

"Here is your miwk bottlwe wittle Scoots, c'mon, take a sip." Rainbow Dash continued to play with Scootaloo, she then picked up the milk bottle and directed it slowly to Scootaloo's mouth, it was soon inserted and Scootaloo began to suck on the bottle, allowing the milk to disperse and come out of the bottle, she drank from the bottle with Rainbow Dash holding it making sure that it wasn't out of place.

"Oh... uh... the porridge is ready... I'll just put it in a bowl..." Fluttershy announced, she turned off the stove and picked up the pan and started to pour in the delicious porridge into one of the food bowls for Scootaloo. She opened one of her kitchen drawers and picked up a small plastic baby spoon and placed it inside of the bowl, she then picked up the bowl by its edges and slowly walked over to the small purple haired child and now was ready to feed her.

"Here you go Scootaloo..." Fluttershy placed down the bowl on the plastic tray, Scootaloo pushed the half-empty milk bottle out of her mouth and got ready to dig in. She picked up the plastic spoon and scooped up some of the porridge and shoved some into her mouth and began to feel its delicious honey taste inside her own mouth, it felt pretty hot inside but she could cope with it.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy both took a step back from Scootaloo and let her eat her own food, Rainbow Dash turned round and walked back over to the table and sat herself down keeping an eye on Scootaloo as she ate her delicious porridge. Fluttershy walked over to Rainbow Dash and sat right behind her, she lifted her hand and placed it on Rainbows back and started to rub it up and down.

"Ooh... that's cool..." Rainbow groaned; feeling relieved of the pains in her back, she felt like she was in heaven by Fluttershy's little massage. "How was ah... Scootaloo... when she... ooh... woke up?" Rainbow whispered to her friend, she turned her head and gave off a small smile.

"Well... uh... I don't know if I should explain... Scootaloo might not like me telling you what she..." Fluttershy began to quieten even more. "Did this morning..." She finished.

"I think it's alright, Scoots has told me loads of stuff- ah! Before..." Rainbow continued to whisper to her friend.

"Well... I went upstairs... and I... uh... noticed she wet her diaper... she got upset and thought she wet the bed instead..." Fluttershy explained to her friend.

"Bummer..." Rainbow sighed; she turned round to look at Scootaloo who was apparently having the time of her life sitting in the high chair. She was quickly gulping down the porridge with the little spoon, only resulting in some small bits of porridge falling out of the spoon and landing on the bib, causing her clothing to get a little messy.

"I told her that... you know... it was only an accident... and she doesn't have to be ashamed of it..." Fluttershy kept on explaining.

"So you... changed her right?" Rainbow Dash turned her head to look back at her friend, raising an eyebrow to whether she actually did. "I thought you weren't able to do it, because Scootaloo is a child?" She asked.

"When a baby is in need of help... I acted brave and helped little Scootaloo..." Fluttershy blushed.

"That's really cool of you to help Scootaloo out when she's upset... but... aren't you gonna break out the news that you're going to adopt her soon?" Rainbow Dash asked Fluttershy.

Chapter Eleven

"Oh my... I... uh... don't know..." Fluttershy's cheeks began to glow a bright red. "What if she doesn't like me... she might want to... you know... stay with someone else... I don't know if I can let her feel so upset... I don't know what to say..." Fluttershy tried to explain to her friend, feeling locked up now that Scootaloo was in the room. Only a simple telling of her plans and then she would have to await Scootaloo's reaction, whether it be good or bad, Fluttershy was starting to get worried whether or not the child would actually like to stay with her.

"Best thing to do is to sit her down in the living room or something and then we both tell her together. How about that for a plan?" Rainbow Dash had an idea and explained it to her friend; Fluttershy began to smile a little at her baby’s idea and started to wonder if Scootaloo needed anymore assistance with her food, putting the adoption plan on hold once again.

"I don't mean to be... you know... rude Dashie... but I think... it's time to clean up Scootaloo..." Fluttershy nodded her head towards Scootaloo; Rainbow turned her head round to see that Scootaloo had nearly finished her bowl of warm porridge, and now just noticing that the child had gotten rather large splodges of porridge on her bib and parts of her clothing which caused her to look very messy.

Fluttershy stopped rubbing her friends back and slowly walked over to Scootaloo who had just now finished her bowl of porridge; Scootaloo smiled and put the plastic spoon in the bowl.

"Hey Fluttershy, the porridge was great!" Scootaloo cheered, she had never tasted porridge that was perfectly cooked before, especially by one of Rainbow's friends.

"I'm glad you like it." Fluttershy began to pick up the empty bowl and walked over to the kitchen sink, she turned on the tap and let cold water stream out in the washing up bowl. She put the bowl into the sink and walked back over to Scootaloo, who seemed to look about five times messier now that the bowl was out of the way. "It seems that you are... a bit messy..." Fluttershy felt a little bit scared, she didn't want to upset Scootaloo now that she was covered in porridge.

"That's cool; I can take a shower when I get back home." Scootaloo replied to Fluttershy, knowing that she would start to overreact if she kept on going.

"Hey Scoots! Maybe you should take a bath here instead of taking a shower at home, besides... I'll sit with you and keep you entertained." Rainbow Dash yelled across the kitchen, keeping a nice smile on her face as she got up from her chair and walked over to Scootaloo, taking a good look at her bib and clothing which seemed to be dripping with porridge which made her look like a complete mess.

"A bath... here?" Scootaloo was taken back, feeling a little worried about taking a bath in a place that she wasn't comfortable in.

"Yeah sure, don't worry about it Scoots, Fluttershy can put your clothes in the washing machine while you have a bath." Rainbow Dash explained to her little friend about having a bath, noticing that Scootaloo seemed to be a little scared to wash herself in a place that wasn't her actual home was starting to make her blush.

"How l-long do I have to be in the bath for?" Scootaloo whispered to Rainbow Dash, her friend just smiled and plucked the plastic tray off the highchair, allowing Scootaloo to jump off the baby equipment. But instead, Scootaloo kept herself in the seat of the highchair and waited for either Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash to pick her up and take her to the bathroom.

"As long as you want Scoots, we're not rushin' you." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Uh... okay..." Scootaloo nodded, she lifted her hands up into the air, waiting to be picked up by Rainbow Dash.

"I can't pick you up yet Scoots, hold on a second." Rainbow leaned forward and grabbed the shoulder ends of Scootaloo's orange t-shirt, she started to pull upwards which noted Scootaloo to raise her arms and allow the messy t-shirt to float off her. She lifted her arms and soon enough her t-shirt slided off her, leaving her only in her diaper, feeling a little embarrassed she started to lightly blushed now that she had been stripped of her clothing and only down to her diaper.

She placed her hands on her chest in an attempt to cover up herself, but Rainbow Dash didn't really notice or seem to care that she had no more clothing on her.

Rainbow Dash handed the messy t-shirt to Fluttershy and she placed it neatly in the clothing basket ready for cleaning, Rainbow then reached out for Scootaloo and placed her hands under her arms and began to lift her up and rested the child in her arms, Scootaloo wrapped her arms around Rainbow Dash and held her tightly so that she wouldn't fall.

"Now let's go upstairs and get you squeaky clean." Rainbow Dash said with a small smile on her face.

"I thought Fluttershy was going to clean me up..." Scootaloo leaned near Rainbow Dash's ears and whispered into them.

"She was, but I want to talk to you while you are having a bath." Rainbow replied back.

"You know... I just realized... if Fluttershy is the mommy and we are the babies... then why are you acting like a mommy?" Scootaloo questioned.

"I'm just looking after you, just think of me as like a five year old trying to look after a two year old." Rainbow replied as she walked down the corridors.

"A five year old that wears diapers?" Scootaloo giggled, finding the idea really funny.

"Yeah sure." Rainbow smiled.

"That's really silly..." Scootaloo giggled even louder.

"So is scooting off a ramp and breaking your leg." Rainbow Dash began to giggle, but Scootaloo stopped and glared at her idol for a moment.

"Hey! It was an accident!" Scootaloo yelled.

"Just like what you did in your diaper last night?" Rainbow Dash chuckled.

"That too!" Scootaloo added, still glaring at her idol in slight anger.

"It’s okay Scoots, it's just an accident, calm down." Rainbow began to laugh loudly.

"How do you know about what happened last night?" Scootaloo shouted; she wasn't in the nursery when Fluttershy changed her.

"Fluttershy told me, she was worried about you when you cried in the nursery." Rainbow stopped laughing and lowered her voice, using one of her hands on Scootaloo's back and smoothly rubbing it up and down in an attempt to calm her down.

"Oh..." Scootaloo paused for a moment; she blushed a little and looked away from Rainbow Dash feeling a little bit upset.

"Fluttershy told me that she was really upset when she saw you starting to cry in the Nursery, she doesn't like it when people are sad, especially you. Bed-wetting is a pretty serious problem Scoots, I've been worried about you too, but it was pretty lucky that you were wearing a diaper last night." Rainbow Dash stopped in her tracks still holding Scootaloo in her arms; she patted her little friend on the back and began to whisper to her.

"I'm sorry Rainbow Dash..." Scootaloo apologized, feeling really bad for what happened.

"It's okay Scoots, let's get you inside the bath tub and get you cleaned." Rainbow reassured her friend. "By the way, I want to know what you think of Fluttershy." She added.

"Why?" Scootaloo tilted her head in confusion.

"Just wanna know; she has been looking after us all night yesterday and this morning." Rainbow asked, trying to sound casual.

"Uh..." Scootaloo tried to think for a moment. "She's a really cool mommy." Scootaloo said.

"Anything else?" Rainbow asked.

"Um... I don't know... I think she really takes care of us..." Scootaloo wasn't able to think of any words to say about the woman that had looked after her through the night, but in the back of her mind, she knew that Fluttershy did a really good job of looking after her and she wouldn't be able to thank her so much.

"Cool, we're at the bathroom now, I'll fill up the tub with water and then we can talk." Rainbow Dash walked up to the bathroom door and kicked it open using her legs. Revealing the very clean bathroom with it's tiled flooring and the large bath tub which had large amounts of shampoo bottles all neatly stacked together on one shelf, there was a small blue plastic box in the bathtub which seemed to contain toys that a baby would use while in the bath.

Rainbow Dash walked over to the toilet and sat on top of the seat, allowing her to sit down with Scootaloo still in her arms. She let go of Scootaloo and leaned over to pick up the plastic box, she then placed it on the floor and turned on the taps to fill up the bath tub. Scootaloo sat on her idols lap feeling a little embarrassed, now that her clothing had been taken away from her, she now had to go in the nude for a moment while in the bath, and she didn't want Rainbow Dash to see her in the nude.

"Wait... I don't wanna go nude..." Scootaloo quickly told Rainbow Dash, her cheeks began to flare up into a bright red colour.

"You don't have to; I won't look at you naked if that's what you mean. Just use the towel behind you and I'll cover my eyes." Rainbow pointed behind Scootaloo to reveal one of the neatly folded towels that Fluttershy put up on a small shelf next to a radiator, Scootaloo jumped down from Rainbow's lap and walked over to the shelf and picked up the towel, she wrapped it around herself and then walked back over to Rainbow Dash.

"I'll just slide off those diaper tapes..." Rainbow reached down and gripped onto Scootaloo's diaper tapes and slowly undone them, allowing Scootaloo to cover herself up with the towel at the correct time. Rainbow Dash leaned back up and waited for Scootaloo to sit down on her lap again, but before she did that, she leaned over to the bathtub and turned on the hot and cold bath tub taps and plugged it all up so that the water would stay in the bath.

"It feels really weird when you and Fluttershy look after me..." Scootaloo began to blush, not only because she was naked, but because of how she was being treated.

"You'll get used to it." Rainbow Dash picked up Scootaloo and placed her neatly on her lap, still keeping the towel wrapped around her to prevent her body from showing; she leaned Scootaloo on her chest and rocked her from side to side.

"Used to it?" Scootaloo asked, her head slightly perking up.

"Yeah, that's if you want to keep on doing it." Rainbow Dash said.

"You mean I have to do this forever?" Scootaloo quickly asked.

"No silly, Me and Fluttershy made a little agreement where every Saturday I come round to her house just to pretend to be a baby for her; we aren't allowed to tell anyone what we are doing. Heck! If you want to join in on our little agreement you can." Rainbow Dash explained to Scootaloo, keeping her voice quiet and low as the bath filled up with water.

"So... you act like a baby for a whole day just for Fluttershy... boy, you two are really good friends..." Scootaloo giggled.

"Would you like to come over next Saturday and do what we did last night?" Rainbow Dash offered; she knew that Scootaloo had to pause for a moment and think about it.

"Um... I don't know... I think my foster parents wouldn't like it if I said that I was going to act like a baby for someone..." Scootaloo whispered to her idol.

"Yeah, but do you really think they'd care? Remember, I was the only one besides Applebloom and Sweetie Belle to see you in hospital when you broke your leg. Your foster parents didn't even know you had broken your leg until you went home with that giant cast." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah..." Scootaloo looked down. "I guess you're right..."

"Besides, Me and Fluttershy do a better job of looking after you more than your crappy foster family." Rainbow Dash wrapped her arms around Scootaloo and proceeded to hug her.

"That's true!" Scootaloo happily agreed with her idol.

"Looks like the bath is filled up, time to hop in." Rainbow Dash quickly stopped the taps from letting out any more water and slided her hand into the bath water to check it's temperature and felt that the water was a perfect temperature, Scootaloo jumped off Rainbow's lap and let go of the towel, letting it drop to the ground but also revealing her nude body.

"Don't look at me..." Scootaloo quickly hopped into the bath almost after doing so, she felt the perfect temperature that the water was. It wasn't too cold and it wasn't too hot, it was perfect. Rainbow Dash closed her eyes and moved one of her hands over her eyes so that she wasn't able to see Scootaloo move into the bath.

After certain sounds of splashing and the noise of skin colliding with the bathtub itself, Scootaloo was in; she used some bubbles that were in the bathtub to quickly cover herself from Rainbow Dash and maybe Fluttershy if she entered the bathroom.

"Are you covered up by the bubbles?" Rainbow Dash whispered, still keeping her hand over both of her eyes to give Scootaloo her privacy.

"Yep." Scootaloo nodded, she waited for Rainbow Dash to open her eyes and continue with the conversation.

Rainbow Dash slowly moved her hand out of the way and saw that Scootaloo had finally gotten inside of the bathtub and she had covered herself up with the bubbles like a blanket, Rainbow smiled and began to pick up some of the baby toys and took interest in a small plastic boat and a little rubber duck, she plucked them out of the box and placed them on the water setting them to float.

"So are you going to do that agreement Scoots?" Rainbow Dash started to continue their conversation about the agreement.

"Oh... uh... I dunno..." Scootaloo blushed, she leaned forward and picked up the rubber duck and the little boat and began to play with them.

Rainbow Dash started to pick up one of the sponges on the side of the bath and then placed it in the warm water; she squeezed it and allowed the water to absorb into the heart of the sponge and then dragged it out of the water and hovered it over Scootaloo's head. She squeezed the sponge and large droplets of water soon landed onto the top of her purple hair and the gel quickly broke apart, causing her hair to flop down her face and cover up her eyes.

"There you go Scoots, let's get you squeaky clean." Rainbow Dash soon rubbed Scootaloo's hair and moved it into a certain position so that she could see again.

"Thanks Dash." Scootaloo smiled.

"Now, I'll just do what Fluttershy was gonna do and scrub you with the sponge." Rainbow Dash leaned forward and grabbed Scootaloo's arm and lifted it up into the air and began to scrub her under arm area with the rough side of the sponge.

"Is Fluttershy going to come upstairs in a minute?" Scootaloo closed her eyes, feeling a little irritated by the rough side of the sponge.

"Think so, she is just cleaning your clothes for when you get out of the bath." Rainbow Dash replied to her little friend.

"But my clothes were clean!" Scootaloo argued back.

"You mean the splodges of mud and paint all over your t-shirt and trousers? Not to mention the porridge that you spilled all over yourself earlier in the kitchen." Rainbow Dash moved the sponge onto Scootaloo's backside and started to scrub her from there and work around her body.

"Oh..." Scootaloo sunk hard, realizing what her idol was telling her.

"Anyways, after your bath. Fluttershy is going to dress you back into your normal clothes and then we're going to watch TV for a while and then we are both going to walk you home." Rainbow Dash explained her plan with Scootaloo, she had moved on to scrubbing her chest. Scootaloo listened well, but she still found the rough side of the sponge irritating and itchy.

"Walk me home? I'm a big girl; I can do that on my own." Scootaloo exclaimed.

"Not in this house you're not!" Rainbow Dash chuckled, she put the sponge in the water and opened up a bottle of hair shampoo and poured a small dab of it onto Scootaloo's head, she rubbed the liquid into her hair and bubbles began to froth about. Scootaloo closed her eyes making sure that no soap or liquids would go into her eyes.

"Oh okay..." Scootaloo quickly gave in, she didn't want to argue with Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, they had been really nice to her since last night and she thought to herself that she shouldn't give them any grief at all. "Uh, Rainbow Dash... can I ask you something?" Scootaloo started to whisper, Rainbow carefully listened to what Scootaloo had to say.

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash waited for what Scootaloo was going to say, she paused her cleaning on the purple haired child and waited.

"Do you think...? I could uh... y'know... take some diapers back home with me?" A large red blush grew across Scootaloo's face; it was like she was on fire. Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at what Scootaloo had said and thought about what she said for a moment.

"Why do you wanna take some diapers home?" Rainbow Dash curiously asked.

"So it can... uh... help me with my... well... bed-wetting..." Scootaloo couldn't find the correct words for the situation, she felt really silly asking her idol for such items.

"Your bed-wetting, huh?" Rainbow Dash placed her hand on chin for a second. "I'm sure Fluttershy will let you take a few diapers home, but you have to make sure your foster parents don't see you with them or else you'll get into trouble."

"Where should I hide them?" Scootaloo asked.

"Is there any closets in your room?" Rainbow asked, thinking of a really good place to store the spare diapers in her room.

Scootaloo thought for a moment and looked back up at Rainbow Dash.

"No, my foster mom has one in her room, but there are loads of cardboard boxes in there." Scootaloo ran off the top of her mind, trying to remember if there was a closet in the house.

"That isn’t good... how about under your bed?" Rainbow Dash suggested.

"Uh... my bed... I think that's a cool idea..." Scootaloo smiled, thinking if there was a good place to hide them under her bed or not. "I could put them in my schoolbag and hide them."

"Don't put them in your school bag; you might accidentally take one to school or something." Rainbow Dash pointed out Scootaloo's small error in her plan.

"Yeah, you're right!" Scootaloo thanked her idol for the error.

"Um... Hello? Is it okay to come in?" A meek yet quiet voice made it's way through the conversation, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo quickly stopped what they were doing and looked at the bathroom door to reveal a portion of Fluttershy's pink hair poking through her bathroom door. Rainbow Dash turned to Scootaloo and the child nodded, giving the all-clear allowing Fluttershy to come in.

"Come in Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash said with a smile on her face, she stood up and wiped her wet hands on her blue tank top and pulled the door wide open to fully reveal Fluttershy standing by the outside of the door as if she were secretly peeking to take a look at what they were doing.

"Are you sure? Is Scootaloo okay with me seeing her... you know...” Fluttershy began to lower her voice so that Scootaloo wasn't able to hear. "Nude?" She quivered.

"She's alright; I was just scrubbing her down with the sponge." Rainbow Dash stood out of the way and allowed Fluttershy to walk into her bathroom, she saw the clean diaper that she put on Scootaloo was on the floor tucked away from the water. She took a good look at Scootaloo in her bathtub to note that she looked very happy despite the position she was in, Scootaloo let go of her water toys and looked up to see Fluttershy slowly walking in.

"Hi Fluttershy!" Scootaloo smiled and gave out a small wave, Fluttershy waved back and then the purple haired child went back to her toys in the bathtub.

"Uh... I've cleaned and ironed Scootaloo's clothes and... I also... um... washed her undies..." Fluttershy turned to Rainbow Dash who stood next to the door and watched Fluttershy sit down on the toilet seat. "I hope that isn't a problem Scootaloo..." Fluttershy turned to Scootaloo.

"That's no problem Fluttershy." Scootaloo listened to what she had to say, but she was strangely interested in the childish toys the most.

"So... Scootaloo, are you enjoying your bath? Is the water too cold or too warm?" Fluttershy started to make sure that Scootaloo was happy; she dipped her fingers into the bath water to check the temperature. Scootaloo took her focus off the toys and decided to listen to what Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash had to say.

"It's fine Fluttershy, the toys are really cool. I like the boat and the rubber duck." Scootaloo picked up the toys she was given and she shown them to Fluttershy, waving them in her face.

"Oh I see! They are very nice toys Scootaloo, are you having fun?" Fluttershy decided to play along with Scootaloo, Rainbow Dash knew what was coming and she walked over to Fluttershy and let herself down and sat down on her friends lap, she wrapped her arms around Fluttershy and started to hug her.

"So Fluttershy? What are we going to do after Scootaloo gets out the bathtub?" Rainbow Dash leaned her head on Fluttershy's shoulder and whispered into her ear.

"Uh... well... we have to put Scootaloo's clothes on and we... well... have to tell her about what I want to do with her..." Fluttershy turned her head and whispered back to Rainbow Dash.

"I did suggest to Scootaloo that we watch TV a little before we send her home, she also wants to talk to you about something." Rainbow Dash continued; Fluttershy's eyes widened wondering what Scootaloo had to say to her.

"Um... okay..." Fluttershy turned her head to Scootaloo to see that she had put her toys back in the bathtub and now she rested her head on the wall looking up at the ceiling.

"Scoots!" Rainbow yelled.

"Yeah?" Scootaloo looked back down to see Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash both looking at her, she put her hands over her body to cover herself up a little.

"Isn't there somethin' that you wanna ask Fluttershy?" Rainbow tilted her head towards to Fluttershy, which caused Scootaloo to slightly blush now that she had the opportunity to talk about what she wanted to bring home.

"Uh... me?" Scootaloo pointed to herself, starting to blush a little feeling scared.

"Yeah..." Rainbow Dash groaned. "Who else would I be talking to?" She added.

"Oh... okay..." Scootaloo giggled to herself, she lowered her eyes trying to not to look at Fluttershy.

"Scootaloo, if you need to tell me something... you know... you can take your time... I won't rush you or anything..." Fluttershy leaned forward and placed her hand on Scootaloo's wet shoulder, she gave a small smile to the child and moved her hand up towards the child’s cheeks and rubbed them with her thumb.

"I wanna... um... borrow something from this house... it's uh... kinda important... Rainbow Dash said you'd let me if I asked..." Scootaloo mumbled, trying not to smile as she was given the lovely attention from Fluttershy.

"Whatever you need, we will be here for you." Fluttershy assured to Scootaloo that both she and Rainbow Dash would always be there for her, Scootaloo felt warm and fuzzy inside because of what Fluttershy had just said which also caused her to blush around the cheeks on her face.

"Can I borrow... uh... some... well... if it's okay with you Fluttershy... some..." Scootaloo bit her lip; she really didn't want to say this right in front of Fluttershy. "Borrow some diapers?" She finally managed to blurt out, feeling not only stupid but very scared of what Fluttershy's reaction would be.

"Oh Scootaloo, if you want to borrow some diapers, then you're allowed to do so." Fluttershy smiled, bringing Scootaloo back down to her normal mood and leaving a massive smile on the child's face.

"So I can have a few?" Scootaloo repeated, still amazed that Fluttershy even said yes to begin with.

"Yes, but uh... do you want some for home because of... well... you know... your bed-wetting?" Fluttershy whispered, trying her best not to upset Scootaloo in front of Rainbow Dash.

"Yeah..." Scootaloo blushed. "That's the reason why..." She added.

"Well before you actually give Scootaloo some diapers for her bed-wetting, I gotta' make sure you promise me something or else you can't have them." Rainbow Dash stepped in on the conversation, Scootaloo looked up to see Rainbow Dash had crossed her arms and looked not so happy at her for some reason.

"What's that?" Scootaloo curiously asked.

"You gotta' promise me that you ain't gonna' wear the diapers Fluttershy gives you in public or under your shorts, only use them at night time like you're supposed to. Imagine if you are wearing a diaper at school and then one of your friends find out what you're wearing under your shorts or something? Or if someone pulled down your shorts in the middle of the play-ground?" Rainbow Dash lowered her tone of voice and leaned down closer to both Fluttershy and Scootaloo and tried her best to calmly speak to Scootaloo without upsetting her.

"I promise Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo gave off a small salute; she moved her hand out of the way and placed it around her fore head before realizing that she was no longer covering up her naked body in front of them.

"Uh... Scootaloo... before we do anything... let’s get you out of the bath tub and get you back in your clothes." Fluttershy gave a small smile and tapped Rainbow Dash on her back to tell her to get off her lap, Rainbow Dash stood up and moved out of the way so that Fluttershy could pick Scootaloo up and place her down into the towel.

Chapter Twelve

"I'll just be in the bedroom if you need me." Rainbow Dash turned to the door and walked out of the bathroom, leaving Fluttershy and Scootaloo alone. Fluttershy turned back to Scootaloo and gave her a small smile and reached over to the radiator on the wall to pick up the very warm cotton white towel and placed it on her lap ready for Scootaloo for when she steps out of the bath tub.

"Okay Scootaloo, I'll close my eyes." Fluttershy closed her eye-lids tightly giving the child her moment to get out of the bath tub and wrap herself with the towel. Scootaloo didn't get out for a second; she instead leaned over to Fluttershy and tapped her slightly on the knee.

"Fluttershy it's okay." Scootaloo whispered to her friend.

"Sorry... what?" Fluttershy mis-heard.

"It's okay; you don't have to close your eyes." Scootaloo told Fluttershy.

"Are you sure? I mean... well... what about your privacy?" Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes and saw that Scootaloo was still in the bath tub resting in between all of the bubbles, she had a small smile on her face slightly giggling by how silly Fluttershy was acting around her.

"You changed my diaper when I was upset this morning, and you saw me naked... you don't have to be worried about me being naked." Scootaloo giggled, she felt very awkward during this type of conversation.

"Uh... okay." Fluttershy sheepishly nodded, she picked up the towel and started to unravel it so that the whole towel dropped to the ground, and Scootaloo shook her head from side to side which caused the water droplets in her hair to fly about all over the place. Some of the water landed on the towel and on Fluttershy which caused a small case of laughter, Scootaloo slowly stood up in the bath tub with bubbles still attached to various parts of her body and she began to lift her left leg out of the tub and slowly placed it onto the mat which was on the floor.

Scootaloo took out both legs until she stood in front of Fluttershy who still had her eyes half-closed so that she gave Scootaloo her sense of privacy, the child then grabbed the towel from Fluttershy and wrapped it around her body so that her body but her legs were wrapped in the warm towel. Fluttershy then opened her eyes and leaned forward and picked up Scootaloo so that she was now sitting down on her lap, Fluttershy adjusted the towel so that Scootaloo had her whole body wrapped up and kept warm.

"Do you like the towel?" Fluttershy cooed, using her hands to place Scootaloo's head on her chest.

"Aww yeah! It feels really comfortable!" Scootaloo exclaimed, she couldn't believe how soft the towel was, she felt like she could sleep in it for a good few hours and it would still be warm even when she woke up.

"I'm just going to dry you... uh... don't squirm..." Fluttershy awkwardly giggled, she began to grab hold a piece of the towel wrapped around Scootaloo and began to rub it against Scootaloo's wet skin, the child kept herself still as possible so that it wouldn't get any harder for Fluttershy.

As time went along, Fluttershy moved her hand to other parts of her body such as her arms, her backside and then finally up to her hair while delicately drying the child and making sure that she didn't irritate Scootaloo in the slightest way possible. Scootaloo thought about what was going on, she had never known someone to be so good at looking after kids but they seem to did not have any, but either way, what Fluttershy was doing for her made her feel comfortable and well-received.

"Fluttershy?"

"Yes Scootaloo?" Fluttershy stopped drying off Scootaloo and gave her a moment to speak.

"How come you don't have any kids but you are so good at looking after me?" Scootaloo asked, slightly leaning her head on Fluttershy's shoulder.

"I don't know actually... I'm used to looking after animals, so maybe that's where I get it from...?" Fluttershy tried to explain, still unsure about her actual skills in parenting and looking after little children.

"You should work at a kindergarten!" Scootaloo pointed out.

"Really?" Fluttershy raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah! You can look after loads of little babies and kids!" Scootaloo smiled, thinking that she had a brilliant idea for her friend.

"I don't know about that Scootaloo... I mean... I'm the town vet; I look after and heal animals. I don't know if I would be able to have two jobs..." Fluttershy tried to explain the hole in Scootaloo's idea, the child kept on smiling even after Fluttershy had explained the problem to her.

"Oh, that's cool. I'm just thinkin' that since you’re so good with kids I just thought that you'd be pretty cool with looking after loads of them." Scootaloo replied back.

"It's okay Scootaloo; I have you and Rainbow Dash to look after in the meantime." Fluttershy began to quietly giggle at the idea that Scootaloo gave out for her, it was very silly.

"Yeah, I think you're better than my foster parents!" Scootaloo pointed out.

"I am?" Fluttershy leaned back, slightly amused by what Scootaloo had just said.

"Uh-huh." The child happily nodded up and down.

"Okay... uh... since you are dry now... I nearly forgot about this..." Fluttershy took her moment to dip her hand into one of her trouser pockets and managed to pull out the pacifier that Scootaloo had been using when she was placed into the crib the previous night, Scootaloo's eyes beamed with excitement as she saw her pacifier that she used last night.

"Wait... that's my pacifier!" Scootaloo yelped.

"I found it lying in the crib when I was ironing your clothes, do you want it back?" Fluttershy held the pacifier by it's plastic ring and aimed the nipple at Scootaloo's mouth, the child nodded as she leaned in and opened her mouth and accepted the pacifier and began to suck on it. Fluttershy gave off a nice little smile as she wrapped the remaining parts of the towel around Scootaloo and began to hold onto her as she lifted her up and held the child in her arms.

Fluttershy slowly stood up trying to make sure that she didn't spread out her weight and strength so that she wouldn't drop Scootaloo at any sudden moment, she took a few steps forward and began to make her way towards her bedroom where Scootaloo's newly cleaned clothing were present.

Rainbow Dash was lying down on Fluttershy's bed, she was resting on her backside looking up at the ceiling with her hands positioned behind her head to create a make-shift pillow while crossing her legs over trying to relax. She soon heard the bathroom door open which caused her to turn her head to see that Fluttershy walked into the room holding Scootaloo wrapped up inside of a giant towel.

"So how did it go?"

Fluttershy slowly walked over to the bed over to where Rainbow Dash was lying and placed Scootaloo down on the bed still wrapped up in the very warm and comfortable towel, Rainbow tilted her head to see her little friend wrapped in the towel and noticed her head was barely poking out of the towel as if she was a real infant wrapped in a really thick blanket.

"Scootaloo was an angel; she kept still while I was drying her off." Fluttershy delightfully smiled.

"Cool." Rainbow Dash replied. "Now what are we going to do?"

"I'm supposed to get dressed?" Scootaloo leaned up and looked at both of her friends, still keeping a firm grip on the towel so that it wouldn't fall down and reveal herself to them.

"Yeah." Rainbow Dash nodded.

"Where did you say my clothes were?" Scootaloo asked Fluttershy.

"I put them in the nursery to dry off... uh... do you want them now?" Fluttershy took a step towards her door and then a step back, unsure of what Scootaloo's answer would be.

"Sure." Scootaloo smiled, she dropped the pacifier out of her mouth and let it fall onto the bed.

"Don't worry about it Fluttershy, I'm sure Scootaloo can do it herself." Rainbow Dash interrupted and gave Scootaloo a small stare and nodded her head towards the door, Scootaloo dropped her smile and frowned a little.

"Okay... I'll get dressed myself..." Scootaloo leaned towards the edge of the bed and quickly jumped off it with the towel still wrapped around her; she slowly walked towards the nursery door outside of the bedroom and walked past Fluttershy. Rainbow Dash watched Scootaloo walk into the nursery and closed the door right behind her so that no one would see what she was doing, Fluttershy stood there not knowing what to do, she cleaned Scootaloo up and now she had to wait for her to come out of the nursery with her clothing on her.

"Hey Fluttershy, sit down on the bed." Rainbow Dash called over to her friend and gestured for her to come over and sit down, Fluttershy gave a nice smile and slowly walked over to her bed where Rainbow Dash was lying down.

Fluttershy positioned herself after checking she wouldn't sit down on Rainbow Dash and sat down on her bed with her hands on her lap, Rainbow Dash leaned up and reached over to her friend and placed her hands on her backside and began to massage her.

"Y'did pretty good with Scootaloo, ain't seen anyone that good with her before." Rainbow Dash lowered her voice and began to work on Fluttershy's back, she squeaked in the sudden ounces on pain making its way around her body.

"Th-ah, Thank you Rainbow Das-sh..." Fluttershy moaned, keeping herself still for Rainbow Dash.

"So..." Rainbow Dash paused for a moment, nearly forgetting what she was about to say. "What are you going to say to Scootaloo when we all go downstairs?" She asked.

"Uh, I don't- ah... know..." Fluttershy shrugged. "What if sh- she doesn't like m-me..." Fluttershy added.

"Scootaloo likes you." Rainbow Dash said.

"How d-do you -ah know..." Fluttershy asked.

"Think about it, you made her pretty happy last night and she seemed really happy when you gave her breakfast, it was kinda like as if she got dirty on purpose to spend time with you." Rainbow Dash explained.

"But she was just -ah, acting like a baby this morning, babies usually get messy when they eat food -ah." Fluttershy responded.

"You got a point there, but you did change her diaper when she wet it in the crib." Rainbow replied back.

"Okay... I'll go check on Scootaloo and how she is doing." Fluttershy grabbed Rainbow Dashs arms and moved them away from her shoulders, she then stood up and shook herself down to get rid of the pain that flowed through her body.

"You're a real good mother Fluttershy, try and tell her." Rainbow Dash added as Fluttershy walked out of the room, she closed the door right behind her and left Rainbow on her own.

"Hello Scootaloo?" Fluttershy sang as she opened the nursery door, slowly poking her head in feeling unsure to whether she had given the child enough time to put enough clothing on her so that she would not appear naked, Fluttershy kept her head on the doorway before poking it through all the way to see if Scootaloo had dressed herself for later events.

Fluttershy scanned the nursery to firstly see that the changing table cabinet doors were open and the loud rustling of plastic and the always familiar sound of crinkling could be heard from under the changing table itself, Fluttershy took in a deep yet quiet breath and moved into the nursery to get a better look at the changing table doors. Some of the clothing that she cleaned for Scootaloo was still on the top of the changing table, after taking a few quiet steps towards the changing table, she could see the source of all the noise in the room.

Scootaloo was kneeling down looking into the changing table trying to rip open a large packet of diapers with her finger nails, she dug her little fingers into the rough plastic and it would not rip. Fluttershy took a final step towards Scootaloo to see that she was only half dressed, notably she managed to put on her plain white undies and put on her orange t-shirt but she did not manage to put on her shorts or shoes.

"Uh... Scootaloo, are you okay?" Fluttershy politely whispered to the child.

Scootaloo turned her head to look at Fluttershy, she turned away and focused back on the diapers and immediately turned herself around to fully face Fluttershy with a bright red blush across her face.

"Fluttershy!" Scootaloo yelped; a part of her shook inside as if she were in the middle of an earthquake. The child quickly stood up and dropped the packet of diapers in her hand and moved away from the changing table as quick as she could.

"It's okay Scootaloo, I was just wondering what you was doing." Fluttershy tried to calm Scootaloo down, but it was no use.

"Please don't tell Rainbow Dash I was trying to steal some diapers!" Scootaloo pleaded, tears and sniffles began to emerge and she began to talk.

"It's okay Scootaloo, please don't be upset. All you had to do is ask me or Rainbow Dash to help you." Fluttershy took careful steps towards the child and placed her hands on Scootaloo's shoulders and brought her close for a comforting hug, Scootaloo felt a little resistant at first, she didn't understand why Fluttershy wasn't shouting at her.

"You mean... I get to take some diapers home?" Scootaloo asked, resting her head on Fluttershy's stomach.

"Yes, we did agree that's what you wanted... right? Anyways, let's get you dressed." Fluttershy directed her over to the changing table and closed the doors beneath it allowing her to pick up Scootaloo and place her on the top of the changing table where the rest of her clothing was.

Fluttershy leaned down to pick up Scootaloo; she placed her hands on the sides of the child and began to lift her up onto the changing table. Still keeping her close to her chest so that a part of her would not slip out and remain safe at all times, Scootaloo held tightly onto Fluttershy's clothing lightly sobbing as she thought over what she had done just a second ago, she didn't let go of Fluttershy's clothing and Fluttershy herself noticed what she was doing, it was like she didn't want to be let go at all.

"Are you alright Scootaloo?" Fluttershy asked the child, rubbing the back of the childs head caressing her hair.

"I'm really, really, really sorry Fluttershy... I shouldn't have tried to do that..." Scootaloo planted her face into Fluttershy's yellow sweater vest causing her voice to sound mumbled and faint, Fluttershy decided to hug the child until she felt better.

"It's okay Scootaloo, I'm not going to punish you or anything... please don't be upset, you'll make me upset..." Fluttershy tried to cheer up the child as best as she could. "Let's get you dressed, and then I'll give you some diapers to take home for when you wet the bed." Fluttershy added.

Scootaloo moved her mouth so that she could speak properly and looked up at Fluttershy.

"I thought you were going to yell at me or something... it's just... my foster parents lock me in my room when I do something they think is bad and then they shout at me." Scootaloo rubbed her eyes and wiped her tears away, Fluttershy's motherly smile slowly disappeared as she learned more of Scootaloo's foster parents and how they treated her so poorly.

"It's okay Scootaloo, here. Sit down on the changing table and I'll get some diapers for you." Fluttershy moved over to the changing table with Scootaloo still locked in her arms, as she positioned Scootaloo onto the edge of the table, she lowered the child and she safely sat on the changing table waiting for Fluttershy to get some diapers for her.

"Er, Fluttershy?" Scootaloo managed to grab onto Fluttershy's clothing before she moved away from her.

"Yes?" Fluttershy turned back to face Scootaloo.

"Please don't tell Rainbow Dash... and uh... what were you talking about? I heard you talk to Rainbow Dash about something when I came in here." Scootaloo curiously asked, Fluttershy on the other hand stood still and tried to think up of the appropriate response.

To be continued...

"Uh, it was nothing..." Fluttershy's heart nearly skipped a few beats, she didn't want to reveal the information to the child too early, and Scootaloo looked at Fluttershy with a nice smile and looked away from her for a moment before returning eye contact to her.

"Okay." Scootaloo merrily said. "Was it something to do with your animals?" She asked.

"Er, I guess you could say that." Fluttershy tried her best, she kept herself strong so that she would neither blush nor blurt out any of the secrets that she said to Rainbow Dash a few seconds ago.

"I hope its okay." Scootaloo smiled.

"Sorry... what?" Fluttershy lost it for a moment.

"Your animal, is he okay?" Scootaloo asked.

"Y-Yeah." Fluttershy nodded. She started to feel her body shake as she began to search for some of the diapers that would perfectly fit a girl around Scootaloo's age; she lowered herself to check under the changing table to find the packages of diapers that Scootaloo had previously pulled out to try and rip into the packaging. She expertly opened the correct package with her fingers and grabbed a handful of diapers; she then backed away from the changing table and counted how many she had in her hand.

"One... two... seven... here we are... seven diapers for Scootaloo." Fluttershy shook her fears and looked at Scootaloo and shown her the diapers that she had picked up from underneath the changing table.

"Cool! I got diapers that'll last me for a week!" Scootaloo excitedly yelled, she raised her fist up in the air and looked at Fluttershy with excitement.

"Uh... they're kind of like pull-ups but they have the diaper tapes on them for some reason... I don't know what type of diapers they are." Fluttershy examined one of the diapers that she had picked out from the changing table and saw that she had picked up a very strange combination of a baby design diaper and a mix of a pull-up that an older child would use for proper bed-wetting. The overall design of the diaper was a nicely coloured girly pink plastered all over the diaper, there was small images of dolls, numbers and letters of the alphabet spread all over it.

Fluttershy placed down the diapers onto the changing table and reached for Scootaloo's clothing and handed it to the child, Scootaloo immediately reached for one of the diapers instead and took a good look at what she was going to wear later tonight in bed.

"Whoa, so I get to wear these?" Scootaloo inspected the diapers, turning them around taking a good look at their sides and front.

"Yes, do you like them?" Fluttershy smiled.

"They're awesome." Scootaloo smiled back. "Can't wait to wear them at night."

Fluttershy giggled a little just off Scootaloo alone, she couldn't believe how excited she was to wear and try-out some pull-ups for her night time sleeping.

"I'm glad." Fluttershy nodded, she walked away from Scootaloo and turned her back on her to give Scootaloo some privacy as she started to dress herself, she didn't want to embarrass her in any way.

Scootaloo knew what Fluttershy was doing and she put down the diaper she inspected and placed it on the pile, she began to pick up her clothing and began to put them on. Feeling awfully relaxed at how clean and nice they feel after Fluttershy had cleaned them, she couldn't just stop smiling.

"So uh... when are you going to adopt me?" As Scootaloo lifted up her legs through the holes in her shorts, she politely asked Fluttershy, causing her to blush and quickly turn round in surprise.

"Wh-What?!" Fluttershy gasped, a silver lining had been passed by Scootaloo. Time and space froze itself for Fluttershy as she felt a tidal wave of fear and absurd humiliation began to arise within her.

"Oh... uh... when are you going to adopt me?" Scootaloo asked, not actually affected by asking this question.

"H-How did you?" Fluttershy slowly walked over to Scootaloo and placed her hand on her mouth, feeling incredibly awful that she wasn't able to hide the secret from Scootaloo for much longer, she had let her down.

"I heard you and Rainbow Dash talking about adopting me so I don't have to live with my stupid foster parents, I didn't wanna say anything." Scootaloo finally pulled her shorts up and smiled at a sad looking Fluttershy.

"I'm really sorry Scootaloo..." Fluttershy began to tear up, slowly wiping her tears with her fingers. "I was going to tell you later on today... I'm really sorry that the surprise was spoiled..." Fluttershy squeaked out loud, Scootaloo jumped off the changing table and quickly walked over to Fluttershy and began to hug her.

"Hey, it's okay." Scootaloo started to comfort the sobbing adult. "You didn't have to hide it from me."

"But I was really concerned whether you liked me or not... I didn't know if you wanted to stay here, I heard so many bad things about your foster parents I couldn't believe what Rainbow told me..." Fluttershy lowered herself onto her knees and wrapped her arms around Scootaloo, both Scootaloo and Fluttershy hugged each other in what seemed for an eternity, slowly after a few minutes, Fluttershy began to calm down and was now afraid of what Scootaloo might have thought of her panicking more than she would normally do.

"Fluttershy, you could have told me, I would love to be adopted." Scootaloo whispered into Fluttershy's ear, still wrapped around her friend’s arms.

"I'm sorry, I really am... I just want to make you really happy; I want to be your Mother..." Fluttershy sniffed, she looked down at the purple haired child and saw something she did not expect. Scootaloo herself was starting to cry. Tears were falling down from her face, yet, she wasn't sobbing or sniffling. Fluttershy quickly noticed and rubbed her backside to try and calm her down.

"What's wrong? Please tell me..." Fluttershy asked Scootaloo.

"I'm gonna have a real mom that likes me..." Scootaloo planted her face into Fluttershy’s sweater and began to speak, though her words were muffled up and Fluttershy was unable to properly hear what she was saying.

Fluttershy didn't know what to do; she leaned back which allowed Scootaloo to rest on her lap whilst both sobbed in the middle of the nursery unable of what to say to each other. Scootaloo tightly hugged Fluttershy as hard as she could, not wanting to be separated from the person who wanted to take her away from the evil beings known as foster parents. Fluttershy on the other hand placed her hand on Scootaloo's purple hair still feeling the left-over water particles untouched by the towel from earlier; she began to slowly calm the child by stroking her short hair feeling sick to the brim about making Scootaloo cry.

"Hey I heard cryin-" Rainbow Dash opened up the nursery door and peeked her head through to check up on Fluttershy and Scootaloo, when she saw both of them lying on the ground both silently crying together Rainbow pushed the door wide open and quickly landed beside her friends and quickly placed her arms around both Fluttershy and Scootaloo.

"What happened?!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed. "Are any of you hurt?" Rainbow Dash added.

"No..." Scootaloo sobbed, peeking her face out of Fluttershy's yellow vest, tears and snot still running down her face. "Fluttershy is gonna adopt me!"

Time had passed, it was getting close to mid-afternoon and the day was still young. Fluttershy and Scootaloo were both sitting in the bedroom together along with Rainbow Dash slowly pacing back and forth in the middle of the room with her arms crossed, the room was silent and no one dared to say a single word, Scootaloo and Fluttershy both held themselves and constantly hugged each other not wanting to let go of each other at all.

Rainbow Dash stopped her pacing for a moment and looked at Fluttershy and Scootaloo, she walked up to both and them and sat down on the bed right next to them still keeping her eyes locked on her friends.

"Adoption is a serious deal, how are ya' even gonna do it?" Rainbow Dash broke the silence.

Fluttershy looked up at her friend and blinked.

"I uh- don't know..." Fluttershy squeaked, she looked away from Rainbow Dash and then down at Scootaloo.

"C'mon, isn't there some legal booklet or something that you have to sign... Scootaloo, you've been moved to a few foster homes in your time. What do foster parents do to look after you? Do they sign a book or do they have to go speak with the Mayor for permission or something?" Rainbow Dash began to talk to both of her friends, she noticed that Scootaloo had dug her face into Fluttershy's sweater once again to try and hide from conversation.

"I don't know..." Scootaloo squeaked, in a similar fashion to how Fluttershy whispers.

"You must’a been there for when they take you to a different house every time, did you ever have to do anything? Like signing your name in a book or something to make sure the foster people look after you?" Rainbow Dash leaned closer to Scootaloo, placing her hand on the childs backside and lightly tapping her to regain her attention as she turned her head away.

"I wanna stay here again... I don't wanna go home..." Scootaloo whimpered.

"But it's Sunday." Rainbow Dash replied.

"I don't wanna go!" Scootaloo childishly pouted and crossed her arms and looked at Rainbow Dash.

"Well, that's up to Fluttershy, not me." Rainbow leaned back, slightly surprised at Scootaloo's quick-fire anger.

Scootaloo turned to face Fluttershy and looked at her deeply in the eyes, she didn't want to be taken away from her friend that promised so much and taken back to her old foster parents, she wanted to stay with Fluttershy no matter what.

"Well... uh... you have school tomorrow and... I don't really know... are your parents going to be alright with you staying again?" Fluttershy didn't know what to do, she was in that type of position where she didn't know what to properly do any more, she couldn't think of what to do, keeping her away from her Foster parents would raise suspicion and keeping her here without the consent of the Mayor sounded like a bad thing to do.

"B-But... I don't wanna go home... I feel loved here... I have a mommy that wants to look after me... I never had that before... can I stay for one more night? We can go back and get my stuff at the foster home... my stupid foster parents are out by now... please... Fluttershy..." Scootaloo grabbed onto Fluttershy's arm and began to plead for her safety and care, the childs words were sinking into Fluttershy like a brick, and however Rainbow Dash also understood what it meant for Scootaloo to have someone that actually wants to look after her.

Fluttershy bit her lip, she didn't really have a choice, the words Scootaloo was trying to get across had sank in and she tightened her grip on the purple haired child and hugged her even tighter. Scootaloo also did the same and began to loudly sob in front of Rainbow Dash.

"Oh alright, I'm gonna get your stuff..." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and groaned, falling into Scootaloo's need to attention and love.

"But you aren't dressed..." Fluttershy sniffled, feeling a little better now that everything had seemed to calm down.

"I'll just put my shorts over the diaper." Rainbow Dash jumped off the bed and walked over to where she put down her clothes and pick up her shorts and proceeded to put them on.

"But... what if someone sees you wearing a diaper in the street? Especially one of our friends?" Fluttershy asked.

"Then they should mind their own business, no one interrupted me and Twilight when we did that Daring Indie book marathon together. Heck! I won some money 'cause I beat Twilight in reading the second book faster than her." Rainbow groaned she then grabbed her running shoes and put them on one by one; she was ready to leave and was safely padded for the journey.

"I'm gonna use the key under the mattress outside the house to get into the foster home and I'll take your stuff and bring it here, is that alright Scootaloo?" Rainbow Dash asked Scootaloo.

Scootaloo turned round to face Rainbow Dash and silently nodded, she then went back to hugging Fluttershy and dug her face into her sweater.

"Do you need a bag or something to carry all of her stuff?" Fluttershy asked Rainbow Dash.

"Nah, I can use Scootaloo's school bag." Rainbow Dash mumbled.

And with that, Rainbow Dash walked out of the bedroom still waddling from side to side a little, she walked down the stairs and began to leave Fluttershy's cottage in search for Scootaloo's essentials for staying over.

Fluttershy took a deep breath and then exhaled; it had been thirty minutes since Rainbow Dash had left to obtain some of Scootaloo's clothing and essentials. Leaving Fluttershy to ponder by herself alone in the kitchen, all the lights in the house were turned off and the curtains were rolled down meaning there was no light that was getting through the windows.

Fluttershy lifted up her cup of nice warm herbal tea and began to slowly drink from it, the warm liquid went down her throat and she swallowed which was followed by a loud sigh. She closed her eyes and began to slowly breathe inwards and then outwards to try and calm herself down from light of recent events.

She heard the front door open from all the way inside of her kitchen and quickly stood up still holding the tea in her hand, she walked into the living room to see Rainbow Dash making her way through into the house holding a large school bag she had wrapped around her arm.

"Is that Scootaloo's school bag?" Fluttershy walked up to her best friend and pointed at the bag.

"Yeah, where is she?" Rainbow Dash replied, looking not very happy with what she had to do.

"She's upstairs." Fluttershy replied.

Rainbow Dash walked past Fluttershy and began to make her venture upstairs, but before she could make it to the stairs, she was interrupted by Fluttershy who grabbed onto her t-shirt and lightly pulled her back.

"Wait... you can't go upstairs yet..." Fluttershy squeaked.

"Why not?" Rainbow Dash stood still and turned to look at her friend.

"She's asleep..." Fluttershy said.

"Why?" Rainbow asked.

"She fell asleep in my arms when you went to get her stuff, so I put her in my bed for now." Fluttershy explained.

Rainbow Dash silently nodded and walked away from the stairs, she walked up to the couch and began to rest herself by sitting down. She crossed her legs and placed the school bag on the living room table and rubbed her head, Fluttershy slowly sat down right next to Rainbow Dash and placed her drink on the table and wrapped her arm around Rainbow's neck.

"I changed her clothes and put her in one of the pull-ups I was going to give her... if you wanted to know... because of her bed-wetting... I just wanted to..." Fluttershy tried to pick up some conversation, but felt unusually shy around Rainbow Dash, feeling curious to why she looked sad.

"Fluttershy..." Rainbow Dash began to speak. "I'm a little worried about Scoots."

"Why?" Fluttershy's eyes widened.

"This whole adoption idea, do you think it'd be good for you?" Rainbow asked.

"I'd love to have a child; I can teach Scootaloo how to look after animals and how to plant trees." Fluttershy began to list off the many things she would be able to do with Scootaloo.

"No, no." Rainbow Dash interrupted. "I mean, will you honestly be able to look after little Scoots like an actual mother would do? Tuck her in, feed her, bathe her, give her love, help her when she grows up, that sorta' stuff." Rainbow Dash explained.

Fluttershy paused for a moment, she thought of all of the things that she had learnt from reading the parenting books that she had borrowed from Twilight and then looked back at Rainbow Dash.

"Yes, I promise I'll look after Scootaloo. I'll never let her go..." Fluttershy responded.

"I just find all this stuff with the adoption goin' a little too fast, how did she find out that you were going to adopt her?" Rainbow Dash leaned her head to the side and rested it on Fluttershy's chest; Fluttershy used her fingers to stroke Rainbows hair.

"She told me that she heard us talk about it." Fluttershy said.

"She heard us about talk it... I felt really scared when she told me in the nursery." Fluttershy told Rainbow Dash.

"Hmm... I'm little angry at Scoots." Rainbow Dash admitted.

"For what?" Fluttershy quickly replied.

"That she's gonna have the best mom around." Rainbow Dash grinned; she sat back up and watched Fluttershy's reaction change from a scared and worried expression to a nice calm smile.

"Oh, you're so cheeky!" Fluttershy playfully giggled out loud, she leaned forward and kissed Rainbow Dash on her forehead.

"You’re gonna do great as a mom, I think you're the perfect one." Rainbow Dash began to giggle along with Fluttershy.

"Thanks Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy stopped giggling and continued on with her drink until she had finished it; she drank the last drop and then got off the couch to put the cup in the kitchen sink.

"Wait- are you going to make another drink?" Rainbow Dash asked before Fluttershy left for the kitchen.

"Well, no. But are you thirsty?" Fluttershy replied.

"Kind of, yeah." Rainbow nodded.

"I don't really have much except for tea and orange juice though..." Fluttershy pondered.

"Surprise me." Rainbow lifted her legs up onto the chair and rested herself on the couch as she did earlier, she undone the buttons on her running shorts and pulled them down which revealed her diaper.

"By the way, uh... did anyone notice you were wearing that... under your shorts?" Fluttershy watched as Rainbow Dash took off her shorts and put them on the table.

"Nah, no one asked. Though, it felt a little hard to walk around in it." Rainbow Dash stretched her arms and placed them on the back of her head.

"Okay, it's just... well... I was a little worried that someone might have noticed you wearing one and... Well I thought you would get upset..." Fluttershy replied back to her friend, now making her way back to the kitchen.

"Worse has happened to me, remember college? Getting my trousers pulled down in the middle of the corridor?" Rainbow Dash turned her head to see Fluttershy standing next to the door.

"Yes, and you punched Gilda in the face..." Fluttershy blushed.

"Yeah, worse." Rainbow turned back round to relax and now awaited her drink.

To be continued...

Chapter Fourteen

"Here is your drink Dashie, I thought up of something nice for you!" Fluttershy happily cheered as she walked into the living room the drink that Rainbow Dash had asked for. She looked over to see that Rainbow Dash had turned on the TV while she was away in the kitchen, cartoons were playing on the screen and the TV volume was at mute. Rainbow Dash was still lying on the couch with her diaper on and now it seemed that she had crossed her legs and relaxed herself awaiting Fluttershy's hospitality.

Fluttershy walked over to the coffee table and leaned forwards to catch a glimpse of what Rainbow Dash is doing, but after examining her face it seemed that her rainbow-haired friend had fallen asleep whilst watching cartoons on TV.

"Excuse me Dashie?" Fluttershy whispered, using one free hand to lightly nudge her friend in an attempt to try and wake her up. Rainbow opened her eyes to see that Fluttershy was standing right in front of her holding something behind her back; Rainbow Dash yawned and then proceeded to move her legs out of the way allowing Fluttershy to sit down on the other side of the couch.

"I was havin' a pretty good dream." Rainbow Dash stretched her arms high up into the air and groaned.

"I'm sorry Dashie; I made a nice drink for you... I don't know whether you want it warm or cold, but I made it warm for just the cutest little baby." Fluttershy walked over to the other side of the couch where Rainbow Dash was sitting and sat right beside her, not giving away the small surprise that she had in mind for her little baby.

"Is it time to have my bottle?" Rainbow guessed; a small devious smirk emerged onto her face. "I was having such a good dream as well."

"Oh, what did you dream about?" Fluttershy blushed; her little surprise had been blown up by Rainbow Dash.

"I was dreaming of you and Scootaloo for a minute or so... and then I dreamed of that time I punched Gilda." Rainbow Dash explained, partly giggling as she finished her sentence.

"What we were doing in your dream?" Fluttershy asked.

"Havin' a good time, you signin' the adoption papers and me flippin' the bird on her foster parents as we walked off into the sunset." Rainbow Dash grinned.

"Dashie!" Fluttershy gasped, never in all of her life had she heard of something so rude come out of Rainbows mouth.

"Heh, heh. Can I have my bottle of warm milk now?" Rainbow reached out towards Fluttershy and gestured holding the bottle, Fluttershy pulled the container out of her back pocket and gave her the bottle of warm milk, and Rainbow immediately shoved the bottle into her mouth and began to suck on the nipple allowing the milk to make way into her mouth.

Fluttershy watched as her friend began to gulp down the milk and stared directly into her eyes, thoughts in the back of her head began to approach her telling her that her life would get oh-so better as it would continue on, her dreams of having a baby were becoming true and having a child of her own was also becoming true, it was pure heaven for her, she couldn't believe her luck.

"Y'know, you should try this whole baby business." Rainbow Dash stopped for a second to speak and then continued on with her warm milk.

"On no... I couldn't..." Fluttershy snapped back into reality and blushed a deep red across her cheeks, not expecting Rainbow Dash to say something strange like that, she couldn't understand, she was the mommy, not the baby.

"Why not?" Rainbow pulled the bottle out again. "You've been looking after me and Scootaloo, why don't we return the favour? These diapers I've been wearing are pretty comfy and it's relaxing to just lie around in one and watch cartoons." Rainbow explained, noticing the blush that was marked across Fluttershy's face.

"B-But if I was a baby like how you and Scootaloo were, who would be there to look after us?" Fluttershy whimpered, not liking the idea at all.

"Well... I could look after you and Scootaloo, heck, even Scootaloo could try and look after us or something, but I'm guessing it'd be weird for Scootaloo to look after adults like that." Rainbow Dash giggled.

"I don't know; I feel so confident in looking after both of you... I mean, I read the parenting books and... And... I don't know how I would feel if I wore a diaper again, it'd be really weird." Fluttershy turned her head trying not to give her friend eye contact, feeling shy about the situation; Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and began to work on the milk bottle once again.

"Again?!" Rainbow choked.

"Again... what?" Fluttershy mis-heard.

"What you just said!" Rainbow chuckled out loud.

"What did I just say?" Fluttershy confused, not being able to keep track of the sudden change in conversation.

"You just said that if you wore a diaper again, it'd be really weird!" Rainbow Dash pointed out.

It took Fluttershy a few seconds to barely register in what Rainbow Dash had quickly said, but it all came back to her and her cheeks began to blush a bright red once again.

"Oh... er... yeah... about that..." Fluttershy whispered. "When I bought the baby supplies for the first time... I got a little... uh... curious... and tried a diaper on..." Fluttershy tried to explain.

"And how did it feel?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Comfy... and uh... it felt like I was sitting on top of a fluffy pillow..." Fluttershy began to remember back to her day that she worn a diaper for experimentation, feeling very embarrassed to speak in front of her baby.

"That's rockin', you should wear one again, and it’d be so awesome!" Rainbow Dash cheered.

“Oh no, I couldn’t… I don’t know how Scootaloo would feel if she saw me wearing a diaper around the house, she might even think I would be a terrible person to look after her…” Fluttershy squeaked, her cheeks began to blush a bright red and she tried her best to raise her voice.

“Nah, don’t worry. Scoots’ll probably like the attention, besides; she might even feel comfortable with someone else wearing a diaper.” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

“I just couldn’t… I don’t know how she would think of me…” Fluttershy replied back.

"It's okay Fluttershy, it's only a suggestion. You don't have to do anything if you don't want to." Rainbow Dash hushed her friend, obviously noticing that Fluttershy was now starting to get upset at the idea of not being the mommy of the group.

"Sorry Dashie..." Fluttershy hung her head low and started to feel strangely embarrassed that she had gotten so quickly upset over a small suggestion such as that.

"It's okay... listen... I'm gonna have to go back home in a minute so I'm gonna get dressed, can't leave Tank on his own for too long." Rainbow Dash had finally sucked the baby bottle dry; no more warm delicious milk was left for Rainbow Dash. She got up from the couch and reached over for her shorts, she popped her legs through the holes and pulled them over her diaper.

She looked around the living room to look for her running shoes, she looked around the front door and they weren't there, she looked over near the entrance to the kitchen and they weren't there. Finally, Rainbow Dash turned to Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy do you know where my shoes are?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Uh..." Fluttershy eyed the ceiling for a second trying to think. "They're in my bedroom."

"Cool." Rainbow nodded and turned round to face the stairs, she began to make her move when instead she was quickly, yet lightly, grabbed by Fluttershy causing her to turn around.

"Wait Dashie... I just realized, uh... I think Scootaloo is still asleep, you might wake her up..." Fluttershy began to worry about the child; Rainbow Dash just rolled her eyes and sighed as Fluttershy explained.

"It's okay Fluttershy, Scootaloo won't wake up, and she’s too tired to wake up anyways." Rainbow shook her arm which meant that Fluttershy lost her grip on her friend and she began to make her way to the stairs, as Fluttershy watched Rainbow Dash make it to the stairs she couldn't help but notice that her friend was waddling like an infant because of the diaper she was still wearing.

"I'm just really worried if she'll become cranky if you wake her up..." Fluttershy said.

"Nah, she'll just fall back asleep." Rainbow Dash began to walk up the stairs, leaving Fluttershy in the living room all on her own.

The door handle began to click; the door slowly opened causing the light in the hallway to make its way through into the bedroom. Rainbow Dash tiled her head into the bedroom to see that all of the curtains had been pulled down which stopped the light from the outside world from entering the room. She stepped into the room supposedly knowing that Scootaloo was asleep in Fluttershy's bed, this was true, and someone was lying on the bed with a very thick yellow blanket wrapped around them. Rainbow Dash took her first few steps into the room to try and get a better look at Scootaloo as she lay down in the bed, she got up to the edge of the bed and noticed that some of Scootaloo's clothing, most notably her t-shirt, shorts and shoes were on the other side of the bed where Rainbow Dash had placed her running shoes.

Rainbow Dash leaned down to get closer to Scootaloo and reached out for the blanket, she grabbed onto the blanket and slowly pulled it off and saw that Fluttershy had left Scootaloo in just her basic white socks and more surprisingly, a girl’s pull-up. Rainbow smiled and then put the blanket back on the child to keep her warm and then proceeded to reach over for her running shoes and picked them up, with a small smirk of success of not waking up Scootaloo, she began to walk back over to the bedroom door until she heard a small quiet voice.

"Rainbow Dash... Fluttershy..."

She quickly turned around to face Scootaloo to check if she was the one who made the noise and instantly noticed that the child was tossing and turning around in her bed trying to find a comfortable spot, Rainbow Dash slowly walked over to the child and peered over her to take a closer look of what she is doing. Easy so, Rainbow found that Scootaloo was squirming around in the bed because of the damp spot in the back of her pull-up.

"Oh man..." Rainbow Dash watched as the child squirmed around and so she began to pull off the blanket, she looked at Scootaloo's pull-up and saw that the bottom of it was starting to dampen. A quiet hissing sound began to emanate from Scootaloo as the child began to lightly moan in her sleep, Rainbow Dash sat down next to the child and waited for her to wake up. Knowing the procedure of Scootaloo's bed wettings, it would only be a matter of time where she wakes up and begins to cry.

Indeed it happened; Scootaloo began to wake up from her comfy slumber, the child turned around onto her backside to only feel a warm mushy feeling ebbing around her backside. She began to open her eyes and noticed that she was in a very dark room with someone sitting right beside her, the rainbow coloured hair was a dead giveaway to who it was.

"Rainbow Dash... I peed..." Scootaloo whimpered; her vision finally cleared to reveal her idol that was sitting right in front of her. The child’s eyes began to water up as she was hit by the sudden realization that she had wet herself in her sleep once again, but feeling somewhat revealed that she was wearing a pull-up that was put on her. Scootaloo lifted her arms to try and reach up towards Rainbow Dash as she desperately needed some assistance, she wanted Fluttershy to help her, she needed her to look after her, she promised.

"Don't worry Scoots; it's just an accident, calm down." Rainbow leaned forward and placed her hand on Scootaloo's face; she rubbed the side of the child’s face and then lifted herself up and stood up off the bed. Rainbow quickly dashed over to the bedroom door and quickly opened it to reveal Fluttershy standing on the other side of the door with her hands placed on her chest looking rather worried, she noticed Rainbow Dash standing under the door frame and the sound of high pitched whimpering coming from the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Fluttershy turned her head to face her best friend, sounding rather worried at what was going on in her room.

"Scootaloo's wet herself." Rainbow Dash pointed back into the room and rolled her eyes; Fluttershy quickly made her way into the room and saw Scootaloo lying in her bed where she had left the child still in her pink pull-up which from the front was severely darkened and dampened by what Scootaloo did inside of it.

""Scootaloo... are you alright?" Fluttershy quickly dashed over to the child and sat down on the bed; Scootaloo quickly leaned up and embraced Fluttershy with a tight and desperate hug.

"Fluttershy... I peed in my pull-ups..." Scootaloo whined she dug her head into Fluttershy's side which caused her voice to muffle when she spoke; Fluttershy quickly grabbed the child and wrapped her arms around her into a cosy hug.

"It's okay Scootaloo, don't worry we'll get you changed..." Fluttershy began to hug Scootaloo to try and calm the child down; she turned her head to face back at Rainbow Dash with a small look on her face as if telling her to do something.

"Sure thing." Rainbow nodded and walked out of the room, leaving Fluttershy and Scootaloo to remain seated on the bed.

"I'm really sorry... I shouldn't have peed in my pull-up!" Scootaloo cried out, latching tightly onto Fluttershy not wanting to let her go.

"It's okay Scootaloo... please don't be upset." Fluttershy moved her arms into the correct place and shuffled Scootaloo around and made the child sit down on her lap instead of the bed which gave both of them a better position to hug each other, Scootaloo dug her head out of Fluttershy's side and lifted her head up to face her.

"I'm sorry, it won't happen again..." Scootaloo pleaded to her future mother, clinging on tightly to Fluttershy.

"Ssh... It's okay... you don't have to be upset... I'll change you... don't worry... please don't be upset Scootaloo, " Fluttershy let out a quiet hush which quietened Scootaloo as her whimpering and sobbing began to calm down, Fluttershy moved her hand onto Scootaloo's back and began to swiftly rub it back and forth with her thumb.

"W-Why did I fall asleep?" Scootaloo sniffled.

"You're just a little bit tired, I don't blame you if you wanted to go back to sleep after I change you." Fluttershy replied.

Scootaloo nodded and then turned her head to look around the bedroom; she noticed that Rainbow Dash had mysteriously disappeared from when she had woken up just a minute ago. The child turned back to Fluttershy and looked up at her.

"Where is Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo asked.

"She is just getting you another pull-up, that's if... you want to go back to sleep... I mean... well... Rainbow Dash is going home in a few minutes and it's just going to be us two together, is there anything you can think of that we can do together? I'd love to spend some time with you." Fluttershy started rocking her arms with Scootaloo still wrapped around them; the purple haired child rested her head on Fluttershy's chest and closed her eyes.

"Dunno..." Scootaloo replied to Fluttershy.

"We could always go into the garden and tend to some of the animals before it gets dark... or we can uh... play some games..." Fluttershy beamed with suggestions, Scootaloo listened in to what Fluttershy had to say even with her eyes closed.

"Uh..." Scootaloo squeaked; can I be a baby again? Like yesterday?" Scootaloo asked.

Fluttershy raised an eyebrow at Scootaloo's suggestion.

"But... uh... I don't know... is it safe for you to be a baby again?" Fluttershy pondered.

"I just wanna spend some time with you." Scootaloo smiled.

"Uh, if that's what you want... I mean... what else do you want to do as a baby though? Do you want to play with some toys? I have a lot of baby toys in the nursery." Fluttershy said.

"Uh..." Scootaloo placed her hand on her chin and began to think. "Do you have a teddy bear?" She asked.

"Teddy bear?" Fluttershy said.

"Yeah, a big cuddly one!" Scootaloo felt happier already, she thrown her arms into the air and smiled.

"See, you're happy already." Fluttershy pointed out Scootaloo's quick change in mood.

"Yeah!" Scootaloo cheered.

"I'll see what I can do when Rainbow Dash leaves; but first, it seems that my little baby needs a change."

To be continued.

Chapter Fitfhteen

Three hours later...

It was now starting to get dark again; time had passed for both Fluttershy and Scootaloo as they had played together and started off childish activities together. Rainbow Dash had left for home to see her pet and clean up her home, the sun was near it's tipping point, the darkness of the outside world began to creep up upon town while Scootaloo and Fluttershy both sat in the upstairs bedroom both lying together on the bed watching cartoons on TV.

Scootaloo was dressed up by Fluttershy, she was now put into a basic light blue onesie that managed to fit her perfectly, a diaper that was just her size and she had a bottle filled to the top with milk in her mouth whilst snuggled up to her future mother as if she was a cushion. The lights in the bedroom had been turned down and the white glow coming from the TV was the only thing that kept light within the bedroom.

A loud, yet soft knocking came from the front door which seemed to startle Fluttershy causing her to be startled for only a few seconds.

"Oh... it's the front door..." Fluttershy gasped, clenching her hand onto her chest breathing in and out.

"What's wrong?" Scootaloo pulled the bottle out of her mouth with an audible pop and looked at her future mother with slight worry.

"Someone is knocking on the front door... I wonder who it could be." Fluttershy unwrapped her arms around the child and shuffled off the side of the bed and landed onto the bedroom floor. Scootaloo leaned closer to Fluttershy and watched as she began to walk out of the room without her, closing the door behind her.

Fluttershy walked down the stairs trying her best to speed up for the new visitor’s convenience, she got down to the bottom of the stairs and made a quick dash for the front door and reached for the handle. She pulled it down and pulled open the door to reveal Rainbow Dash on the other side, Fluttershy's face beamed up with a large smile as she saw her best friend at the door.

"Hey Fluttershy, just come to see how you’re doing with Scoots." Rainbow Dash greeted Fluttershy, from what Fluttershy had remembered Rainbow Dash wasn't wearing her usual clothes any more, she was wearing her black punk leather jacket along with some combat camouflage army trousers and her usual running shoes.

"Oh... Hello Dashie!" Fluttershy beamed, she walked up to her best friend and wrapped her arms around Rainbow Dash and embraced into a tight hug.

"Yeah, nice to see ya' too." Rainbow Dash also wrapped her arms around Fluttershy and hugged her back.

Fluttershy let go of Rainbow Dash and took a few steps back at the front door and moved out of the way which allowed her to walk in.

"Uh, do you want to come in? Scootaloo is upstairs watching cartoons right now." Fluttershy mentioned.

"That's what I came over to talk about, but I can't stay. Me, Pinkie Pie, Lyra and Cheerilee are going to play cards at the Sugarcube Corner in a few minutes and I just wanted to check up on both of you." Rainbow Dash stood her ground and began to talk.

"Oh... uh..." Fluttershy blushed, trying to remember what she had done with Scootaloo over the past three hours. "After I changed Scootaloo's wet pull-up... we uh... went into the Garden and fed the animals... we then ate some food... and uh... we played a few board games... then I found a cute little blue onesie for Scootaloo to wear for when she wants to act like a little baby." Fluttershy explained recent events to her friend, Rainbow Dash nodded with a smile.

"Cool, I guess she's been having the time of her life?" Rainbow Dash giggled.

"She never wanted to leave my side." Fluttershy said, feeling happy.

"I'm not gonna do the race tomorrow." Rainbow Dash blurted out, not looking either happy or sad. Fluttershy's reaction was only of confusion.

"WH-what? I thought this race meant everything to you?" Fluttershy's mouth dropped wide open.

"I spoke to Applejack... seems that she hurt her leg trying to round up the cows from the farm and she can't run, it's a bummer 'cause I really wanted to run around the track." Rainbow Dash watched as Fluttershy looked rather worried about the health of her good friend.

"Oh dear... does she need my first-aid kit?" Fluttershy moved back and forth between the doors thinking whether to grab the first-aid kit from the kitchen.

"Nah." Rainbow shook her head from side to side. "She ain't broke it, she just can't run."

"Oh... uh... please tell her I'm really worried about her... if you can that is..." Fluttershy began to blush a bright red, Rainbow Dash proceeded to nod and turned her back on her friend.

"Listen, I gotta go now, but I also ran into the Mayor earlier and told her about the whole idea of you wanting to adopt Scootaloo." Rainbow quickly turned back to Fluttershy and began to speak.

"Uh-huh." Fluttershy nodded.

"She said that you have to come to her office tomorrow morning at eleven and talk to her about the adoption papers." Rainbow Dash relayed.

"Uh-huh." Fluttershy continued to nod.

"And... it'd possibly take just a week for her to be moved into a new home." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"A w-week?!" Fluttershy choked.

"Yeah, a week." Rainbow nodded.

"Oh, um. Okay, I'll tell Scootaloo that..." Fluttershy blushed.

"Right, see ya' later." Rainbow Dash gave a quick wave and began to walk off, she walked off the cottage path and reached within her pockets and pulled out the pacifier that she was given by Fluttershy and inserted it into her mouth and began to walk off. Fluttershy shyly waved to her best friend goodbye as she disappeared into the darkness and headed back into town.

Fluttershy pulled the knob on the door and pushed it open and entered back into her bedroom, she then saw Scootaloo sitting down on the wooden floor playing with some toys that she had given her. The child now had her pink pacifier in her mouth and looked up to see that Fluttershy had come back into the room, Scootaloo quickly stood up and walked over to Fluttershy and embraced her with a big hug.

"What's wrong Fluttershy?" Scootaloo looked up towards her mother.

"Oh, it's just that Rainbow Dash came round and said she talked to the mayor about the adoption plans." Fluttershy leaned herself down to Scootaloo's level and sat on her knees, she wrapped one arm around Scootaloo and stroked her hair with her free hand.

"Yeah?" Scootaloo excitedly nodded.

"She said that you can adopt within just a week." Fluttershy whispered to her sweet baby.

"What do you mean?" Scootaloo asked; confused at what she just said.

"You have to wait one week for it to happen, I think I have to see the mayor and talk to her about why I want to adopt you." Fluttershy explained, lowering her voice that it became soothing for Scootaloo.

"So I can't stay here for a week?" Scootaloo was still confused, Fluttershy instead wrapped her arms around her lower body torso and lifted her up into her arms like an infant and walked towards the bed.

"Shh, its okay Scootaloo, you don't have to worry about that now. Does my sweet little baby want to watch more cartoons?" Fluttershy tried to imitate Rainbow's childish tone of voice to play with Scootaloo.

"I wanna spend more time with you!" Scootaloo giggled upon hearing the silly tone of voice again, yet hearing it from Fluttershy made it strangely even more funny.

"Oh okay." Fluttershy smiled. "You go relax on my bed while I unpack your school bag." Fluttershy lowered the purple haired child and put her on the middle of the bed, she leaned over and grabbed the blanket and pulled it over Scootaloo to make sure that she stayed warm as it got dark.

Scootaloo stretched her arms out and placed them around the back of her head and began to relax, she stared at the TV instantly getting interested in the cartoons that were on the screen. Fluttershy walked over to the other side of her bedroom and picked up the school bag that Rainbow Dash picked up from the foster home some time ago and began to unzip the top of it to look what the contents were.

Inside of the bag were some clothing that were lazily stuffed in there obviously one by Rainbow Dash herself, Fluttershy grabbed the first piece of clothing and began to unfold it to reveal a light grey school jumper with the logo of Cheerilee's school. She neatly folded up the piece of clothing and placed it down on her bedroom table for a moment, another piece of clothing was pulled out to reveal a light grey school skirt that was obviously for Scootaloo.

"What'cha doin' Fluttershy?" Scootaloo called over to her mother, wondering what she was doing with her school uniform.

"Oh, I'm just looking at your school uniform; it's nothing to worry about." Fluttershy reassured the child.

"I hate my school uniform." Scootaloo replied back.

"Why?" Fluttershy asked.

"It's dirty and it's really itchy." Scootaloo explained.

"Hmm..." Fluttershy tapped her chin with her hand. "How about I clean it? That might make it better, and I also found the spare undies that Rainbow Dash put in your bag." Fluttershy pulled out a pair of basic white undies; Scootaloo blushed at just the sight of them.

"Oh..." Scootaloo giggled as she blushed a bright red colour. "I don't get why I have to wear a school uniform."

"It's just something that you wear for school, I had to wear one when I was a little girl too." Fluttershy pulled out all of the clothing and wrapped it round her arms; she then walked over to the bed and placed down the clothing on the small table next to the bed itself. Scootaloo kicked the bed covers off of her and reached out for Fluttershy as she got closer to the bed, the child slowly shuffled herself until her legs were hanging from the side of the bed, waiting to be picked up like an infant.

"I bet you looked really cool in a school uniform." Scootaloo giggled even harder.

Fluttershy turned to face Scootaloo with a strange look on her face.

"I haven't worn a school uniform in a very long time; I didn't like them very much." Fluttershy revealed.

"Why?" Scootaloo asked, placing her arms back down onto her lap.

"When me and Rainbow Dash went to school together we had to wear skirts, and on this one day... we uh... it was really windy and... well... my skirt flew up and everyone started laughing at me because a lot of boys and girls saw my school undies." Fluttershy blushed; feeling a little scared of telling Scootaloo of her school life.

"Something like that happened at my school." Scootaloo giggled at Fluttershy's story.

"Really?" Fluttershy raised an eyebrow.

"Yep." The child nodded. "Diamond Tiara came to school once wearing a skirt she wasn't supposed to wear, it looked really pretty, but then all of a sudden loads of wind came out of nowhere and it flew up and everyone saw her pink undies!" Scootaloo burst into a fit of laughter; she bent over and giggled while Fluttershy smiled at the child’s story.

Fluttershy then lowered herself and sat down right next to Scootaloo and wrapped her arms around her as she was still giggling at the small tale she had told, Fluttershy then picked up the child and placed her on her own lap and began to hug her.

"What did Rainbow Dash say about your undies when your skirt flew up?" Scootaloo asked as she dug her head into her mother’s chest.

"Uh, nothing... she kinda beat up a bully for me because he laughed at me..." Fluttershy began to giggle along Scootaloo, just realizing how the memory of her skirt flying upwards became so silly.

"I beat he didn't feel his legs!" Scootaloo guessed, Fluttershy continued to giggle.

"He said sorry to me." Fluttershy smiled as she patted her baby’s backside with a gentle rub.

"I would beat him up so bad if he said something to you again!" Scootaloo turned herself round and thrown her fist up into the air, followed by a small giggle from Fluttershy.

"Heh, I don't think he would do anything mean again." Fluttershy reassured her child.

"Good." Scootaloo nodded for a quick moment and then strangely proceeded to yawn, letting out her moans of fatigue right in front of Fluttershy.

"Oh my... is my little baby getting tired?" Fluttershy cooed over her babies loud yawning, Scootaloo shook her head and playfully frowned back at Fluttershy.

"I'm not tired! I'm just yawning!" Scootaloo called out. "I don't wanna sleep in my crib yet! I still wanna play with you!"

"It's okay Scootaloo, how about you stay in my bed tonight? We can snuggle up together and watch TV." Fluttershy offered, she leaned around and grabbed the TV remote and pressed the power button. The screen on the TV fizzled for a moment as the picture slowly came in to show cartoon characters running around in a cartoon, Scootaloo climbed over from Fluttershy's lap onto the bed where she stretched her body over and jumped onto the thick yellow blanket that was on top of the bed.

The child then grabbed the blanket and pulled it over her as Fluttershy stood up and walked over to her drawer, from there, she reached up and grabbed onto the knob on the front wooden door on the drawer and pulled wide open. This revealed some of the night gowns that she had worn previously as Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo stayed over, the pulled one of the gowns out and turned to take a quick peek at Scootaloo. It seemed that Fluttershy was in the green, Scootaloo was too busy with the cartoons to notice her change clothing, especially the fact that she would have to remove her trousers and her jumper which would reveal her naked body.

"Uh... Scootaloo... I um, need to tell you something..." Fluttershy began to blush, once again feeling as scared as she did when Rainbow Dash tried her best to look away when she changed her clothes previously.

"Yeah." Scootaloo acknowledged, still keeping her eyes glued to the TV.

"I need to... uh, change into my pyjamas... if you'd be so kind and not... look at me... please... if it's okay with you..." Fluttershy flubbed she unfolded her pyjamas; she got them into the appropriate position right before taking her clothes off. She needed the confirmation from Scootaloo, but she didn't hear anything from her.

"Oh..." Scootaloo broke out of her trance as she turned her head away from the TV to see what Fluttershy was holding. "Okay" Scootaloo smiled, she inserted her thumb into her mouth and began to suck on it as she watched her mother blush and nod at the same time.

The child turned her head and looked back at the TV to watch more cartoons; it was now Fluttershy's chance.

She quickly pulled off her large yellow sweater to reveal her bra, now it had begun, Fluttershy was starting to panic. Thoughts in her mind began to think of Scootaloo, what if she turned around and saw her naked body while getting changed? It was getting too risky, yet it was the thing that drove Fluttershy to speed up and complete her change of clothing.

She pulled down her trousers to reveal her basic white undies, she grabbed the night gown and quickly thrown it on to the top of her, she shook her body to make sure that her arms were in the right place and fortunately, they were.

Fluttershy picked up her clothes and put them in the wash basket for tomorrow, after she had closed the top of the lid, she began to make her way to Scootaloo. The child still had her thumb in her mouth and she rested her head against one of the pillows that Fluttershy had set up on the bed earlier, Scootaloo looked at her mother and giggled at what she was wearing.

"Right." Fluttershy sighed. "Time to snuggle up." She announced.

She sat herself down on the bed and began to appropriately lie herself into a comfortable position, she pulled up the remaining bed sheets over her body and snuggled up with Scootaloo, the child was still mindlessly sucking on her thumb as she looked at the TV screen, she felt Fluttershy wrap her arms around her chest and she began to snuggle up with her mother.

"Fluttershy..." Scootaloo plucked her thumb out of her mouth, drool and wetness followed as it dropped onto the bed sheets straight from her thumb and her mouth.

"Yes Scootaloo? Are you okay? Am I snuggling you too hard?" Fluttershy quickly began to worry; she loosened her grip on the child and moved further away from her to give her some breathing space.

"No, no... It’s just... are you gonna take me to school tomorrow?" Scootaloo turned herself round onto her side and faced Fluttershy.

"I'd love to Scootaloo, I'll take you to school, I promise." Fluttershy nodded her head and then stopped for a moment. "Is there something wrong about going to school? I can tell Cheerilee what's wrong, is it those bullies? Do they stop you from getting to school?" She asked.

"No..." Scootaloo looked away, tears began to build up, her voice was shaky and she started to pout. "It's just... well, loads of kids from my class get taken to school when their mommy's or daddy's held their hands and take them into the playground... I have to walk on my own..."

"Oh sweetie... I won't let you down." Fluttershy moved forward towards Scootaloo, she wrapped her arms around the child’s chest and gave her a quick kiss on the forehead.

"Thanks Mom..." Scootaloo closed her eyes and squeaked out just like Fluttershy.

"It's okay; I'll do anything to make you happy." Fluttershy promised.

"Okay..." The child nodded.

"Now, let's go to sleep, I'm sure that tomorrow will be a brand new day. I can walk you to school in your new fresh and clean school uniform and I'll have to go to the mayor’s office to speak about the adoption plans."

Sometime later...

It was now dark; the sun had hidden itself from the town’s people of Rumsville. All the buildings and the people inside it began to turn on the lights to brighten up the darkened world, the wind began to pick up the pace, bringing the coldest of air with it to the town as the warm sun hid itself. Three women walked down the quiet empty streets as the lamps outside began to turn on by themselves, variously chanting swear words and yelling at the top of their voices while laughing.

"That was an awesome game of poker!" Rainbow Dash yelled out at the top of her lungs, standing in the middle of her friends with an alcohol bottle in hand. "Lyra, when did you get so good at strip poker?" She added.

"Bon-Bon." Lyra replied; a drunken smile and a red blush on her face appeared.

"She's always been teachin' you the tricks!" Rainbow leaned on Lyra's shoulder and tapped it twice.

"Then there’s you Dashie..." Lyra hiccupped. "Wearin' a diaper... what's wrong with undies? They too tight?" Lyra giggled.

"Nah..." Rainbow lifted her arm off Lyra's shoulder. "It's just they're so comfortable... so puffy, feels like I'm sittin' on a cushion!" She happily yelled out.

Rainbow Dash laughed with Lyra over the issue of diapers, she turned her head to see that Cheerilee was standing right next to her. Still the only one that wasn’t intoxicated from the game they just had a few moments ago, she looked worried.

"Cheerilee... what's wrong? Are ya' sad that I beat ya' at poker?" Rainbow nudged her arm into the teacher’s chest, causing her to move away from the group.

"You're drunk." Cheerilee stated out.

"I know... the best feelin' ever!" Rainbow Dash yelled out.

"No it isn’t, it's dangerous." Cheerilee corrected her drunken rainbow haired friend. "What would your other friends like Fluttershy say about this?" The teacher added.

"Nothin', she knows I get drunk sometimes... and I act crazy... do you ever wonder what it's like to eat pie with chilli's?" Rainbow Dash took another swig of alcohol and laughed, Lyra soon joined in as Cheerilee rolled her eyes and began to groan in frustration.

"I can see why Fluttershy made you wear those diapers." Cheerilee groaned. "You'd need them for this occasion." She taunted.

"Hey! Hey! Fluttershy is good with babies!" Rainbow yelled out. "She knows how to take care of 'em!" She pointed her finger at Cheerilee with a smile on her face.

"Probably why she knows you more than anyone else in this town." Cheerilee laughed, Lyra soon joined in. Rainbow didn't take this lightly.

"Hey..." Rainbow whined. "I can look after myself..."

"We know Dashie, I was just joking." Cheerilee explained.

"But it wasn't funny... it was mean..." The drunken rainbow haired girl leaned against Cheerilee's shoulder and rested her head; she began to speak in a childish tone of voice.

"Let me fix that..." Lyra hiccupped; she reached over into Rainbow's leather jacket and pulled out the pacifier that was given to her by Fluttershy. Lyra aimed the pacifier into Rainbow's mouth and she began to suck on it, rising up a small giggle from Cheerilee.

"How cute." Cheerilee lifted up her arm and wrapped it round the drunken Rainbow Dash, she also did the same thing and held on tightly to the teacher as if she didn't want to let go.

"Aww... baby Dashie..." Lyra tapped Rainbow on the head and ruffled up her hair; Rainbow plucked the pacifier out of her mouth and stuffed it back into her pocket.

"Stop it Lyra!" Rainbow Dash childishly called out to her green haired friend, Cheerilee giggled at the scene folding before her. "Don't touch my pacifier... it's what makes me sleepy."

"You're seriously that drunk Dashie?" Cheerilee raised an eyebrow at her rainbow haired friend; she returned a nod as she took another sip from the bottle of alcohol that was in her hand.

"Huh?" Rainbow mis-heard what the teacher had said on purpose, the blush on her face began to redden even more to prove her intoxication even more.

"Right..." Cheerilee glared, unable to take anymore jokes and banter from Rainbow Dash and her absurd infantile attitude. . "Lyra, I'm going to take Rainbow Dash home, she clearly can't be trusted with you on her own. I'll put her into bed; see you tomorrow after I'm finished with school. I have to sort out the adoption pass that the Mayor gave me about Scootaloo." Cheerilee let go of Rainbow Dash, she untangled her arms and gripped onto Rainbow's loose hand, holding onto her like a loose child. Lyra hiccupped once more and slowly nodded her head in agreement.

"Yeah... I think I'd better go... can't keep the misses waiting..." Lyra walked over to Cheerilee and leaned forward, she gave the school teacher and quick kiss on the lips and turned away to cross the street. She dashed across the road and began to walk away from the group, only leaving Rainbow Dash and Cheerilee to accompany each other.

"And now for you Rainbow Dash, it's time for you to go to bed." Cheerilee began to walk, ever slowly directing the drunken Rainbow Dash through the dark streets of Rumsville like a lost child to a lost and found booth. It wasn't easy for Cheerilee, as Rainbow Dash was making it harder than it already was.

"Let me go... I don't wanna go home..." Rainbow Dash raised her voice as she tried her best to get out of Cheerilee's strong grip; she was being dragged down the empty streets as she shouted in a childish tone of voice. The teacher held onto the drunken Dashie as long as possible, her fingers kept tight around Rainbow's wrist as she was dragged back home to her apartment.

The lights had been turned off; only the silence coming from the TV was the source of all noise in the quiet wooden cottage. Lying down peacefully were Fluttershy and Scootaloo comfortably wrapped up together in a thick yellow blanket, Fluttershy had wrapped her warm and loving arms around the child’s body which put them into a very tight hug together. Scootaloo on the other hand now had a pacifier in her mouth and was constantly sucking on it during her sleep.

"Hrmm..." A groaning sound came straight from Scootaloo, the child's closed eyes began to change, and she strained her eyes for a second while a familiar dreaded source of squishy wet warmth surrounded her legs and nether regions. This had officially woken her up; Scootaloo opened her eyes to see that she was delicately wrapped up in Fluttershy's arms. Her mother had entered a deep sleep, feeling kind, she decided not to wake up her mother and get out of bed.

Scootaloo slowly used her hands to grab Fluttershy's arms and move them out of the way so that she could free her body and escape from the bed; she wriggled her way out of her mother’s grip and slowly crawled over to the edge of the bed. Scootaloo slowly dropped onto the carpet and stood up; she walked over to the bedroom door in the dark and reached out for the door handle. After a few seconds of trying to find the handle, she tightened her grip on it and opened the door.

She walked into the hallway and made her way towards the nursery where the stash of diapers were, the stood in front of the nursery door and opened it. Slowly pushing it open to see that the nursery windows and curtains had been closed, a night-light was left inside one of the plugs for whoever slept in the crib. The weak amount of light it gave off for the nursery was enough for Scootaloo to look around and find what she needed to change herself.

Firstly, she got on her knees and began to slowly crawl over to the changing table like an actual infant. She got to the front of the changing table and reached for the cabinet under the table, she poked her head through the cabinet to see five packs of different diapers, a small cardboard box full of pacifiers, baby wipes, baby powder and a tub of rash lotion.

Scootaloo didn't really think this through, she quickly grabbed the largest diaper that she could find in any of the plastic packaging and grabbed the baby wipes. She moved from under the cabinet and placed her items on the top of the changing table, Scootaloo used her feet to get up onto the top of the changing table right next to her items she took from the cabinet.

The child placed herself on the soft changing mat on top of the table and began to think about the past three hours with Fluttershy, she would place her down on the changing mat and then undo the onesie, which lead Scootaloo to her first objective.

Scootaloo reached down between her legs to try and find the buttons that held her onesie together, after some searching between her legs she found the basic buttons that held the clothing together. All she had to do is pull them apart to undo the onesie, she wrapped her finger round the button and began to pull, but it just wouldn't budge.

She remembered how Fluttershy had somehow undone the buttons; she once wet her diaper on purpose just to get changed by her mother during her stay over after Rainbow Dash had left. Fluttershy did something with the button that caused them to fall apart, releasing her from the onesies bonds for good until they were placed back up again.

Again and again, Scootaloo began to get impatient, the buttons wouldn't simply disconnect. She started off with small tugs, and then began to violently pull on the buttons and they still wouldn't fall apart, her body began to rise up in temperature and she became annoyed. Her wet diaper, the heat her body was generating and her bad mood was starting to get the best of her. Tears began to build themselves up and Scootaloo knew what was going to happen and she couldn't help it.

Small sobs began to escape her; the tears within her began to fall down her face as her sobs began to fill up the room. She was getting louder, she needed a diaper change, and she wanted to do it on her own for once. Save Fluttershy the trouble of waking up.

Scootaloo's pacifier fall out of her mouth as her sobs continued to rise in volume; it was only just a second ago where she heard the loud footsteps of her mother heading towards the nursery. Her crying had woken her mother up, and that was making her even more sad.

Fluttershy quickly burst through the nursery door to see where the source of all of the noise was coming from, her long pink hair had lost its shape and now was all over her face, she took a quick look around the nursery to see Scootaloo sitting on top of the changing table with some of the changing supplies at hand. She dashed over to the child and wrapped her arms around her and began to cradle her.

"What's wrong? Are you hurt Scootaloo?" Fluttershy spoke over the crying child.

"N-No..." Scootaloo tried to speak in between her crying; it was hard for her as she couldn't stop sobbing.

"Shh... shh... It’s okay baby... please don’t cry..." Fluttershy placed her hands on Scootaloo's back-side and belly and slowly pushed her down until she was lying down on the changing mat, Scootaloo kept on sobbing as she kicked her legs around like an infant as she still let out tears.

"I can't get this stupid onesie off!" Scootaloo raised her voice, taking deep breaths between each word she spoke.

"It's okay Scootaloo... I can get it off for you... please calm down..." Fluttershy placed her hand on Scootaloo's red hot cheeks and began to use her thumb to slowly caress for the child; her sobbing began to lower in volume as her mother tried to calm her down.

"My diaper is wet... I tried to get the diaper off... and... The onesie wouldn't budge..." Scootaloo rubbed her eyes to remove the tears that fell down her face; Fluttershy looked in between Scootaloo's legs to see the problem.

"Oh, I see. I'm really sorry Scootaloo... I put you in the safety onesie... it's made for babies who try and take their clothes off... you have to twist the buttons to loosen them first." Fluttershy reached in between Scootaloo's legs and began to twist the buttons, she saw the damage of where the child had pulled on the buttons to try and take them off, and she twisted the buttons and began to pull on them. And finally, they fell apart. The diaper was revealed, across the front of the baby diaper was a sagging wet area, Scootaloo couldn't help but blush at what Fluttershy saw.

"I t-tried to change myself, so that I didn't wake you up." Scootaloo was now calmed down; she child sniffled and waited for Fluttershy to untape the diaper.

"Oh Scootaloo, its okay. I don't mind changing you; all you have to do is just tell me. I won't get mad, I promise." Fluttershy grabbed the tapes of the wet diaper and began to slowly pull them apart, hearing the ripping and tearing sound as she did it.

To be continued...

Chapter Sixteen

The next morning...

The room was terrible, the peeled off wallpaper, the dirty untouched curtains and the ensemble of dirty clothes and lingerie everywhere.

Rainbow Dash was lying in her bed, the dirtiest bed in all of Equestria. The rainbow haired woman lay down peacefully with half a cyan coloured blanket with the image of her own sporting rainbow on top of her, she was lying on her back-side with the blanket pulled up only up to her legs. Her arms were spread out on her double sized bed, she was still wearing her very revealing cyan tank top, her basic white socks that went up to her ankles.

The loud burst of air filtered through the room, Rainbow Dash was now broken of her slumber as he rose her head up in complete shock. Beams of light penetrated her eyes as the noise ringed in her ears; a slick pain ran through her forehead and temple to make matters even worse.

"Aah, Rainbow, you're awake." A familiar voice cheerily acknowledged.

Rainbow grabbed her forehead with her hands and quickly leaned back down on her pillows to bear with the sudden pain in her head, her eyes had adjusted to the strange light that she had never seen before.

"Aah! My head!" Rainbow groaned, she dug her fingers into her pressure points and began to mush her fingers around the pain which hurt the most.

"Sorry about waking you up Dashie, I just needed to use the hair-dryer." The voice apologized.

"Who's in my room?! Pinkie Pie? Is that you?" Rainbow leaned up and rubbed her eyes, the pain in her head began to die down and her vision started to clear, on the other side of her bedroom was someone she didn't expect her in room.

"No, I'm not as crazy as Pinkie Pie. But last night was crazy." She said.

"Cheerilee?! What are you doing here?" Rainbow's mouth dropped wide open at who it was.

She wasn't wearing her usual school teacher attire that Rainbow Dash remembered that she wore last night; instead, she was wearing nothing but a familiar cyan towel with the icon of a multi-coloured lightning bolt as its image. The school teacher was blowing hot air into her wet light purple hair as he held on tight to the towel.

"I'm sorry Dashie, after all the effort it took to get you back in your apartment, I felt terribly tired myself. So I fell asleep on your couch, sorry about that, I wasn't able to ask for your permission to sleep on the couch; you were too drunk to talk by the time I threw you down onto your bed." Cheerilee smiled at her friend, still confused at what was going on.

"Hold on..." Rainbow moved her hands back up to her forehead, feeling more imminent pain going through her. "I was drunk?" She choked out.

"Yes." The teacher nodded. "It's six in the morning, funny though, we fell asleep at seven. So you at least got a good number of hours sleep in preparation for today."

"Sorry... what?!" Rainbow spat out. "I don't remember being drunk, how is that even possible..." She slammed her back onto her bed pillow.

"Wait- You don't remember a single thing about last night?" Cheerilee raised an eyebrow at her friend.

"No..." Rainbow nodded. "Nothing."

"In the middle of strip poker, you drank nearly a whole pint of Apple cider, you couldn't even walk straight. We had to end the game when we all got to our bras and undies because of you." Cheerilee explained to her friend, she started to continue drying her hair as she giggled at Rainbow's reaction.

"Oh man..." Rainbow's mouth widened even more in disappointment; she couldn't believe what she had done. "I'm so sorry!"

"It's okay Rainbow Dash, I was pretty close to losing anyways, I would have been nude if I lost another set of cards... if it wasn't for you breaking up the game that is." Cheerilee had finished drying her hair, with the towel still around her body; she walked over to Rainbow's bed and sat down opposite to her friend who still had a hard time believing last night.

"Did I do something stupid to break up the game? Just tell me... quickly..." Rainbow leaned up and kicked her blanket off from the rest of her body, revealing the diaper she wore the night before.

"You tripped over a table in the Sugarcube Corner... which woke up the Cake family..." Cheerilee extended her fingers on her hand and began to list off what Rainbow had done. "You pulled down your trousers and shown off your diaper in the middle of the game... kissed Pinkie Pie on the lips... And while in the streets, you kicked over a garbage can... shouted out your love for diapers... and you wouldn't make it easy for me to take you home after we had to end the game." Cheerilee gave up; she put her hand on her lap and looked at Rainbow in the eyes.

"Is anyone mad at me?" Rainbow moped; she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"We all thought it was funny to be honest... well... at first... and when you woke up Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake... Pinkie's mood was wearing thin, so we called it a night. Lyra didn't mind seeing how she was also mildly drunk and even I started to dislike what you were doing." Cheerilee reached for her hair and began to position it into her usual place, knotting and smoothing her hair until she thought it was perfect.

"Oh..." Rainbow continued to rub her head, allowing the pain inside of her to escape. "I'm sorry..."

"I don't think you should be saying sorry to me, just Pinkie Pie. But atleast I can work on a lot of things today, I'd like to thank you about telling me Scootaloo's adoption plans before you got drunk." Cheerilee folded her arms; she covered up her chest and tightened the towel wrapped around her.

"The adoption!" Rainbow's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that she forgot about something so serious. "Fluttershy's gonna adopt Scootaloo today!" She jolted herself up to try and get out of her bed, she tried to climb off her bed but Cheerilee had grabbed her.

"It's okay Dashie; you said that the meeting isn't going to happen until eleven, so I wouldn't worry." Cheerilee grabbed hold of Rainbow's tank top and pulled her back on the bed.

"Oh... is it?" Rainbow was confused even more. "What am I supposed to do in the meantime?"

"I'm going to leave the apartment in a few minutes, maybe since you woke up with such a headache, you could possibly get back to sleep and wake up later in the day." Cheerilee turned her head to look at Rainbow; she lightly crawled over to the middle of the bed to where Rainbow Dash was lying and sat beside her.

"Once I wake up, I wake up. Ain't gonna go to sleep again." Rainbow stretched her arms outwards and wrapped it round Cheerilee's neck.

Cheerilee felt Rainbow wrap her arm around her neck, she knew what Rainbow wanted, but she wasn't going to give in.

"I'm going to grab my clothes... diaper girl..." Cheerilee leaned forward and climbed off the bed and walked towards the bedroom door, she turned back to face Rainbow Dash to see a bright red blush on her face. She instead stuck out her tongue in a playful way, causing Cheerilee to smile a little as she walked out of her friend’s bedroom.

Two Hours Later...

"Scootaloo..."

...

"Scootaloo... it's time to wake up..." A soothing voice echoed through her delicate ears, the perfect wake-up call that any child would get up to hear. She felt the warm cotton blanket wrap around her body just like how it was the previous night, it was still perfectly warm and unruffled.

"Ugh... huh?" Scootaloo opened her eyes, a small shot of light shot through her eyes which caused her to rub them.

"It's time to what up little one; you have school in an hour." Scootaloo opened her eyes once again to see her beautiful mother sitting beside her on the bed, a ray of light shined through the bedroom window which shined in her face to make it golden.

"Fluttershy..." Scootaloo turned herself onto her backside and poked her arms out of the bed covers and reached out for Fluttershy. She grabbed the child's hands and began to rub them with her fingers.

"It's time to have some breakfast, little one, do you want some porridge?" Fluttershy began to smile as she looked down at the child; Scootaloo leaned up and rubbed her face, still feeling tired from last night.

"Uh..." Scootaloo shut her eyes and then re-opened them to give way to the bright light coming through the windows, it was so bright outside, it must be a perfectly sunny day. "Yes please." She gave out a quick nod and proceeded to kick the blanket off from her body.

Scootaloo looked down to see that she was still in her diaper and onesie, the pacifier she used was under the sheets as she figured it dropped out of her mouth. Luckily, the onesies buttons were undone.

"Oh, looks like someone didn't wet their diaper in the night." Fluttershy pointed out, trying her best to sound amazed as she pointed at Scootaloo's dry diaper.

Scootaloo didn't believe herself, she quickly pulled over the onesie to show off her diaper even more to have a good look at her diaper, it seemed that Fluttershy was right, she wasn't wet. Not a single drop, a big smile erupted over Scootaloo's face as she looked at Fluttershy.

"Oh my gosh... I didn't wet my diaper..." Scootaloo gasped as her eyes widened and then she began to blush.

“Yes.” Fluttershy squeaked. “C’mon, let’s get you out of bed and eat some porridge together.” Fluttershy placed her hand on Scootaloo’s back-side and gently manoeuvred her towards the edge of the bed, the child jumped down onto the floor still feeling a little weak at the legs.

“Can I have a big bowl of porridge with some honey please?” Scootaloo turned and asked her mother, she noticed that Fluttershy was still sitting down on the edge of the bed.

“Sure, you can have some. I also cleaned your school uniform this morning and I also have some old books that I think you might like, I don’t know if you want them… but I guess you can decide on that…” Fluttershy rose up from the edge of the bed and began to walk over to the bedroom door, Scootaloo soon followed and waited for her mother to go through first.

"You have books for me?" Scootaloo raised an eyebrow at her mother.

"Yes, I found some books in the nursery that might help you with your school work." Fluttershy lowered her hand and placed it over Scootaloo, the child reached up and grabbed it again and held Fluttershy's hand tightly as they both walked out of the bedroom.

"What are they like?" Scootaloo asked; feeling pleased as she was holding Fluttershy's hand.

"Well, I read them... and it they happen to be books that help kids learn their ABC's and their numbers." Fluttershy replied to Scootaloo, they had made it to the top of the stair-case, Fluttershy took the first few steps and soon Scootaloo followed.

"Sweet, do you think they'd get me an A+ in my lessons?" Scootaloo thought up, the idea of her getting good grades was crazy, even for her. But she'd take any chance she would get to impress her mother.

"I don't know Scootaloo, but I will give them to you after you've gotten into your school uniform." Fluttershy replied. "We could even read them together a few minutes before you go to school." She added.

"That'd be really cool!" Scootaloo squeaked, she let go of Fluttershy and allowed her to walk down the stairs, she soon followed her mother until they walked down into the living room. Some of the curtains were closed and the lights were on, it was light outside, yet Fluttershy kept the curtains together.

Scootaloo ran over to the couch and sat herself down; she picked up the TV remote on the side of the couch and turned it on. She flicked through the channels until she got to the cartoons that she was watching last night, Fluttershy watched for a moment and made her way into the kitchen to begin Scootaloo's porridge.

As Scootaloo was left on her own for now, she decided to place her thumb into her mouth and she started to suck on it like her pacifier. She lay down on her side and rested her head on one of the couch pillows.

"Um, Scootaloo... do you want a drink while I make you breakfast?" Fluttershy walked into the living room to see Scootaloo lying down on the couch watching cartoons, she smiled a little and moved closer to the child and sat down on the arm of the chair.

Scootaloo looked up to see her mother standing over her.

"What have you got?" Scootaloo asked; her thumb was still plumbed into her mouth.

"I have got orange juice, milk, apple juice, water, tea, coffee... oh... you might not like the last two... I'm sorry..." Fluttershy apologized; she placed her hand on Scootaloo's head and lightly rubbed her fingers through her short purple hair.

"Uh..." Scootaloo put a finger up to her lips and thought for a moment about the selection of drinks available. "Can I have.... some... tea?"

"Tea? Are you sure?" Fluttershy raised an eyebrow at the child.

"Yep." She nodded in return.

"Okay, if that is what you really want." Fluttershy got up from the couch and made her way into the kitchen, she kept on turning her head back on forth to look at Scootaloo, making sure that she was comfortable and okay with how she was. Fluttershy entered her kitchen like any other normal day and made her way towards the kettle; she picked it up from the top handle and lightly shook it to hear the sound of water inside it. Happy with what she had heard, she placed it back down on its pedestal and flicked the switch to turn on.

Now that was boiling, she moved over to her pots and pans at the oven, luckily, she had some warm porridge remaining from when she ate after she got up for her round of breakfast. She checked how much porridge was left and saw there was still half a pot left, she turned up the heat dial to the correct number and now waited.

15 Minutes Later...

"Here you go Scootaloo!"

Fluttershy walked into the living room with a small white food tray in hand, she now slowly walked over to the child to see that Scootaloo was still watching the cartoons, her thumb was still in her mouth and she was glued to the screen. It was only Fluttershy's soft voice that broke her concentration, she saw her mother walking towards her with a food tray that had a bowlful of porridge and a cup full of warm sugary tea.

Scootaloo didn't say a thing, she watched Fluttershy put down the food on the small coffee table and sit back down next to Scootaloo. Fluttershy leaned forward and grabbed the coffee table and slowly moved it closer to her so that she could reach over as well.

"Here is your breakfast, I put some honey in the porridge and I put one teaspoon of sugar in your nice warm cup of tea. Is there anything else you want?" Fluttershy smiled, she placed her hand on Scootaloo's back and began to embrace her into a small hug.

"Wow..." Scootaloo gasped, she looked at the food that was in front of her with amazement. "I can't remember the last time I had breakfast before, this is so cool!" She squeaked.

This was another big step for Scootaloo; she was going to have a proper breakfast with her mother sitting beside her. It was a dream come true, all in reality she didn't know what to do properly, she wanted to make her mother proud. Scootaloo leaned forward and picked up the bowlful of warm delicious porridge, she looked at it for a moment and felt the heat engulf her hands.

"Ack!" She quickly dropped the bowl back down onto the food tray, the child placed both of her hands under her arms to try and soften the pain.

"Ohh, Scootaloo, are you hurt?" Fluttershy leaned over, always watching out for what Scootaloo was doing.

"Yep." She winced. "I'm okay, I didn't think it was gonna be that hot..." Scootaloo laughed.

"I'm really sorry Scootaloo; I forgot to tell you that it was going to be hot." She apologized to the child.

It was now lighter outside, the sun had decided to make it's ascension into the blue sky to light up more of the world around them. Residents of the town had begun to make their way to their jobs, the sound of hundreds of voices echoed throughout town and so did the rustling life of Rumsville. Rainbow Dash and Cheerilee had now left the apartment and began to make their way towards the school, the place of all education in this town.

As Rainbow Dash walked alongside Cheerilee, she was still tired from last night, her eyes were heavy and the pain in her head was still ringing from when she woke up. But Cheerilee on the other hand was perfectly fine, her light pink sweater and her neatly done hair was the complete opposite to Rainbow, she was clean, and her friend was not.

"People everywhere have their kinks Dashie, and you shouldn't be ashamed that acting like a baby is your little kink." Cheerilee comforted her rainbow haired friend and placed her hand on her shoulder.

"I'm not ashamed of it." Rainbow Dash quickly replied back, correcting her friend on what she had just said. "Y'see, when Fluttershy was lookin' after me like a baby, I felt really chilled out that someone was looking after me. I didn't have to do anything; she did all the cooking and activities with me."

"That seems rather unfair." Cheerilee pointed out. "So you just sat down on your padded butt while Fluttershy did everything for you?"

"I couldn't help it." Rainbow butted in. "She believed I was a little baby, I just wanted to make her happy and then I sorta liked wearing diapers the longer I had 'em on!"

"And you still are..."

"I just played with a couple of stuffed toys and did what I was told!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Okay Dashie, I believe you, I think you don't have to tell me twice about Fluttershy shoving baby bottles into your mouth every once in a while." Cheerilee's irritation grew into a slight boil of anger; she was starting to get annoyed with the conversation, not forgetting about Rainbow's foul attitude.

Rainbow Dash didn't reply, though, she was going to. She opened her mouth to reply back to what the teacher had said, but she then stopped, Rainbow crossed her arms and looked away from her friend and instead turned to have a good look at the people that they were passing by as they walked down the pathways.

Cheerilee had calmed down rather quickly; she started to feel rather sad at what she said to Rainbow Dash. Cheerilee turned herself to get another good look at her friend and sighed.

"Apologies Dashie, it's just when... well... I hear all of this news about Scootaloo; it puts me on edge..." Cheerilee placed her hand on Rainbow's shoulder.

Rainbow Dash turned round to face Cheerilee, one eyebrow was raised and even she wasn't smiling.

"What puts you on edge? You're Cheerilee, the most kick-ass teacher in all of Equestria." Rainbow laughed.

"Well, since that you told me about Fluttershy wanted to adopt Scootaloo, is she... you know? Doing okay? Are they both creating a close relationship together?" Cheerilee felt her stomach turn as she spoke about Scootaloo, there was so much information about that child she could write a book about her.

"They're doing fine; they keep on hugging each other. Scootaloo follows Fluttershy around no matter where she goes." Rainbow yawned and explained to the teacher. "Don't know why she does it though." She added.

"It's because she just wants to be accepted by Fluttershy, she's receiving a lot of love and affection and she doesn't know if Fluttershy is really meaning it." Cheerilee replied back.

"How do you know that, smarty pants? You haven't even seen them together." Rainbow said.

"It's obvious Dashie, I'm a school teacher, I get to know my students and I also benefit when I learn about child behaviour." Cheerilee wrapped her arms into a cross and placed them on her chest.

"So what happens when you learn about how kids work?" Rainbow was confused; she scratched the back of her head waiting for Cheerilee to answer.

"It's mandatory that teachers learn how children learn and see the world Dashie, learning their behaviour allows me to tell when they are simply sad, happy or even angry. I've met a lot of children. And I have met children who were adopted or were going to be, isn't far too common, most children are confused when they haven't got an adult to look after them properly: just like Scootaloo, she is sticking very close to Fluttershy because she doesn't know what to do." Cheerilee began to explain, Rainbow still did not understand what she was talking about.

"I dunno... I've known Scoots since I finished college... she was just four years old the first time I saw her." Rainbow Dash said.

"She was very scared the first time I met her, it was her first day at school." Cheerilee remembered. "She was wearing a little dress with a little purple bow in her hair an-"

"Wait! She wore little frilly skirts and dresses? Woah..." Rainbow's eyes widened up, her mouth dropped a little as she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yes, she likes wearing girly outfits, I suppose all girls her age would." Cheerilee continued on. "She once told me that she'd love to wear a little summer dress for the right season, of course. But her foster parents wouldn't allow her to spend any money on it, plus, has she even told you anything about wearing dresses?" Cheerilee asked.

"Nope, never told me anything about it." She shrugged.

"Oh..." Cheerilee paused. "Is there anything I should know about Scootaloo that I personally don't know, but you do?"

"Uh, she likes to wear diapers and act like a big baby just like me."

Cheerilee raised her hands and planted them on her face; she rubbed her temple not believing because of what Rainbow Dash had just said to her.

Fluttershy used the towel to rub Scootaloo's wet skin; she started with the front of her chest and then began to move the towel upwards up to the child’s head. The towel ruffled through her short purple hair, she was now pleased. Most of her body was strangely dry because of how warm and thick the towel was; now it was time for the school uniform.

"Right." Fluttershy leaned backwards; she pretended to dust off her hands as if they were dirty to show that she was finished with drying Scootaloo. "It's time to get you into your school uniform." She smiled.

"Uh-huh." Scootaloo happily nodded as she held tight onto the warm towel, carefully placing it over herself so that she wouldn't reveal herself in front of her mother.

"Did you enjoy your breakfast? Did it fill up your tummy Scootaloo?" Fluttershy turned and began to walk over to the recently setup ironing board that she placed down in the corner of her bedroom, she make her way over to it and saw Scootaloo's school uniform hanging on the edge of the board. All held in the air by one small coat hanger, she picked up the coat hanger and unhooked the board and slowly carried it over to her bed.

"Yep, the honey was really tasty." Scootaloo nodded, she slowly got off from the bed and watched Fluttershy neatly place down her school uniform. The uniform itself now looked completely different than what Scootaloo remembered, it was clean. All the paint marks were gone and so were some of the holes in the main jumper, it was unbelievable, she had never seen anything like it.

"I cleaned your uniform and ironed it to make it feel nice when you're wearing it... I hope you don't mind that." Fluttershy took a step back, allowing Scootaloo to take more of a view of her cleaned up uniform. The child took a few steps forward without uttering a single word for a few moments.

"That. Is. Awesome!" Scootaloo squeaked out loud, she looked at Fluttershy with a big smile on her face and dashed over to her, she adjusted the towel and her arms to make sure she was able to hug her mother. "Thanks Mom!" Scootaloo wrapped one arm around Fluttershy's legs and squeezed tightly; Fluttershy giggled and hugged Scootaloo back.

"It's okay Scootaloo; if you want some privacy then I can leave the room while you put on your uniform." Fluttershy let go of Scootaloo and gestured towards the door, Scootaloo looked up and thought for a moment.

"Uh..." Scootaloo put her finger on her lips for a moment to think about her options. "Can you stay with me? I mean... could you help me put my uniform on?"

Fluttershy's cheeks began to redden, she moved closer to her bed and sat down next to the school uniform and looked at Scootaloo.

"I'd love to help you." Fluttershy nodded, she started by digging through the uniform to find Scootaloo's white underwear, once she had found them she handed them to Scootaloo.

Scootaloo blushed for a minute; she knew that she would have to lose the towel to change into her clothes. But she didn't know where to start, still holding her white undies in her hands she didn't have a single clue on what to do. It was like she had forgotten how to dress herself.

"Are... are you okay Scootaloo? Do you need some help?" Fluttershy leaned forward and gestured for Scootaloo to come closer, the child slowly walked over to her mother and blushed.

"I... I don't know... can you... uh, put my undies on me? I don't... uh; know what to... do..." Scootaloo's stomach began to churn; she tried her best to keep eye contact away from Fluttershy as much as possible.

"Do you need some extra help? It's okay Scootaloo, let me help." Fluttershy stood up in front of Scootaloo and then leaned down to stand on her knees; she was now properly up to Scootaloo's height and this made everything easier. "Uh, Scootaloo... I don't know what I should do, is it okay if you take off your towel? I don't want you to catch a cold or anything..."

Scootaloo understood what she had to do, even though she didn't want to do it. She let her grip go from the towel; it immediately fell down to the ground. Piling around her feet as Scootaloo was completely naked in front of Fluttershy.

"Okay..." Fluttershy closed her eyes because of Scootaloo's nudity.

It didn't take long for Scootaloo to put on her underwear, she quickly pulled the clothing underneath her and stuck her thin legs in between each hole, she pulled them up which covered her area. Scootaloo tapped Fluttershy on the shoulder which caused her to open her eyes.

"Are you... you know... finished?" Fluttershy opened one eye; she saw that Scootaloo had successfully put on her undies without trouble. "Well done Scootaloo, you did it!" She congratulated her.

"Yep, I'm a big girl now!" Scootaloo giggled.

"But you'll always be my little baby..." Fluttershy smiled, after she was done giggling along with Scootaloo, she now reached over and grabbed her t-shirt, it was a white shirt that had buttons on the front of it, no doubt that it was part of the school uniform.

Scootaloo grabbed the shirt from Fluttershy and began to poke her arms into the holes; the only thing that was left was the buttons. Scootaloo always hated this part; she never managed to get the button right at all. She began to try and shove the buttons through the correct holes, but they just wouldn't budge inside. And just like before, she began to feel rather heated, she was starting to get upset that she wasn't able to do it on her own again.

"Ooh, ooh, Scootaloo... its okay, let me do this part." Fluttershy leaned forwards with her arms out ready to help Scootaloo; she grabbed onto the first button and pulled it over to the other side of the shirt. She used her other spare hand and connected the first button into the hole, Scootaloo blushed, and she couldn't believe that Fluttershy did the first row of buttons so quickly and so easily...

"How did you do that?" Scootaloo asked her mother, Fluttershy stopped what she was doing and looked up.

"Do what Scootaloo?" Fluttershy asked.

"How did you do the buttons? I can't do them good." Scootaloo pointed at the buttons with much disgust, she absolutely hated the button on the front of her school shirt.

"Oh, I don't know..." Fluttershy blushed. "I just know how to do them... maybe I could try and teach you?"

"That'd be awesome!" Scootaloo started to smile, she felt much better knowing that Fluttershy would help her with the buttons.

"Okay, I can teach you know if you want to..." Fluttershy grabbed onto the second row of buttons with one hand and used her other to grab Scootaloo's hand. She moved the child’s hand over to the top of the button and moved her fingers into the correct places.

"You um... you grab the very edge of the button with your fingers like this." Fluttershy moved the child’s hand into place; her thumb was under the button while her pointing finger was placed on the top. Scootaloo slowly moved the button to the hole and managed to get it halfway through, this is the part that she didn't like.

"Now just use your thumb and push it in." Fluttershy ended her little tutorial.

Scootaloo listened to what Fluttershy said and used her thumb to push the button in from its side, soon after; the button was connected with the hole in the shirt.

"Yay!" Fluttershy clapped, she exaggerated her amazement to the child by giving her a quick hug. "Well done Scootaloo! I am so proud of you!"

"Yeah!" Scootaloo smiled, she had done up a button all by herself, and with the help and support from Fluttershy she felt even happier.

"Now uh, since you already have your socks on... we can sit down for a few minutes. I'll help you put on your dress and your little shoes right before we leave. Is that okay with you?" Fluttershy stood up and placed her hands on her sides, she looked down at Scootaloo and looked at how smart and grown-up she looked in her school uniform.

"Can I be a baby again?" Scootaloo placed her hands behind her back and smiled.

"But you're going to school soon, I don't know if you could be a baby for just fifth teen minutes..." Fluttershy pondered.

"Its okay, can I be a baby when I come home after school?" Scootaloo asked.

"Uh... I thought you had to go home... you know, back to your foster parents?" Fluttershy was confused, she was unsure if Scootaloo was allowed to stay another night. Her foster parents would be absolutely livid if they didn't know where she was.

"But this is my home! I wanna stay here... with you!"

Fluttershy bit her lip, she knew that the child’s foster parents were going to be angry if she didn't return home once again, but she also didn't want to let Scootaloo down.

"Please! Can I stay here Mom? Please! Please!" Scootaloo rushed up to Fluttershy and grabbed onto her yellow sweater, she lightly tugged on it pleading for Fluttershy to rethink about what she said.

"I uh... don't know... Scootaloo... I mean, wouldn't your foster parents be scared that you're gone?" Fluttershy whispered, she leaned down again and placed her hands on Scootaloo's shoulders to calm her down. But she could see that Scootaloo was obviously getting worked up over it, tears were falling down her face, looking so scared as if she'd be taken away from her new mother so quickly.

"No!" She whined back at her mother, even more tears began to fall from her face. "They don't like me! You like me and I wanna stay with you! I don't wanna go back!" Scootaloo explained, she quickly grabbed onto Fluttershy's sweater even tighter and made sure that she didn't let go.

"Please Scootaloo... calm down... it's okay... come here..." Fluttershy didn't know what to do, she wasn't prepared for something like this, the only thing she could think of to do is to hug her. She pulled Scootaloo closer and rested her head on her chest, fully wrapping her arms around the scared child to try and calm her down.

As Scootaloo was lying in Fluttershy's arms, she began to rock the child just like how she rocked her when she was still a baby yesterday, Scootaloo's sobs turned into moans and then died down into small whimpers.

"Shh... its okay, I'm not going to leave you... I promise..."

To be continued...

Chapter Eighteen

50 Minutes Later...

Fluttershy fixed her eyes onto the office clock, the ticking of the grandfather clock made her more anxious to go see the Mayor for her meeting. Both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were sitting down in the waiting area inside of the Town Hall; she kept her hands on her lap feeling ultimately sick and scared.

Rainbow Dash wasn't the only one who wasn't happy at the moment; she had grabbed two of the chairs from the waiting room and assembled them into a small makeshift bed. Rainbow was lying down on the chairs were her head resting against the wall, with the pacifier still in her mouth and a clean diaper, she felt fresher than she ever did in her whole life. The office secretary on the other side of the room was curiously eying up Rainbow Dash with her pacifier and her diaper notably sticking out from the top of her running shorts.

"Fluttershy, you should chill. I don't know what you're getting so worked up about." Rainbow groaned, she looked at Fluttershy and saw beads of sweat drip down her face, her friends breathing was unnatural and the eyes were fixed on the clock.

Fluttershy broke her gaze and looked at Rainbow Dash leaning forward off from the chairs moving closer towards her with her arms out, Rainbow wrapped one arm around Fluttershy and tightened to hug her.

"I'm sorry Dashie... I feel really scared, what if the Mayor doesn't let me adopt Scootaloo? I don't want to let her poor little soul down if I can't... what if she cries and has to go back to her Foster parents? It would be awful!" Fluttershy rested her head and Rainbows should and whispered to her, all Rainbow Dash could do is roll her eyes and sigh.

"Fluttershy, you're awesome, why wouldn't the Mayor want to pick you to be Scoot's mom?" Rainbow stated.

"I'm just really scared Rainbow Dash... I'm being honest; I want to make sure Scootaloo is happy..."

"You're making a start by adopting her, ain't that good enough? She's finally gonna go to a home and to someone who actually loves her. Don't panic about anything, you're gonna do great!"

Rainbow Dash tapped Fluttershy on her shoulder again with a bit of enthusiasm and stood up, she reached down and pulled up her running shorts to cover up more of her diaper which she realised was showing. Fluttershy breathed out and gave a small smile, still feeling anxious she also stood up along with Rainbow and wrapped her arms around her.

"Thank you Dashie." Fluttershy smiled.

"No problem, it's the least I can do."

As Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash hugged each other in comfort, they had their arms wrapped around themselves for a good minute. Rainbow Dash sucked on her pacifier even louder to show her happiness while Fluttershy dipped her fingers into her hair and began to slide them through the multi-coloured mess.

A woman entered the secretary’s office; she reeked of importance and attention that was begging to be noticed. She wore basic blue jeans that were tight on her skin, a gray and blue checkered woolly vest that seemed to cover up her body all the way down to her waist. And at the top of her were her yellow glasses, round spectacles that made her look so intelligent, she wasn't fooling around, she wasn't smiling.

She turned to her secretary and stood next to her and leaned down and whispered something into her ear, she then turned a little to see Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash hugging each other, this was amusing, she leaned back up regaining her position and started to walk back into the room from where she came from.

"Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to the Mayor’s office!"

Fluttershy was the first one to enter the room, the wooden door slowly creaked open as the mechanism inside of the lock had clicked. Light started to follow its way into the room and the whole entire was lit up, Fluttershy looked to see that she was about to enter a dimmed room. Her throat was sore and she had very little spittle in her mouth, she was most definitely scared at what she was about to do.

She took a small step inside, pushing the door open even more and took a good look at the first few pieces of the room she was entering. There was finely plastered wallpaper with basic patterns hugging the edges of the walls which gave the office a welcoming look, she looked down to see a short green carpet that hugged her yellow sandles as she steps on it.

But for some reason that Fluttershy did not understand, the room was dark, dimmed in fact. The shutter blinds that were attached to the windows were closed and only a few specks of light were able to move in and light up certain parts of the room.

Fluttershy fully opened the door and saw a large table on the other side of the room; it was an oak table that had folders, containers and binders all professionally placed into order by the Mayor herself. But she could see two chairs on the opposite side of the table, guessing quickly she moved closer to the chairs and sat down on the nearest one and breathed out loud.

Rainbow Dash was the last one to enter the room, as took a good look at its design and how dark it was she couldn't help but chuckle. She walked over to the chair that Fluttershy was sitting next to and sat down beside her, Rainbow took a good look at her friend to see that she was still scared out of her wits.

"Right." The Mayor cleared her voice; both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at her and listened.

"I would to firstly thank both of you to coming to this meeting, I'm sure that we have a lot to discuss." The Mayor looked back down to her desk and picked up a folder filled with paper, she leaned forwards and handed it to Fluttershy.

"Wh-What's this?" Fluttershy squeaked, she nervously looked at Rainbow Dash and then looked back at the Mayor.

"It's Scootaloo's records, her education, health records, past family members and general information that came from her. I personally have only read her general information, but there also seem to be pictures of her from when she was little. But I must admit, this is a special occasion, there hasn't been an adoption in this town for a good eight to nine-ish months and I was surprised when Rainbow Dash came up to me and told me about you and Scootaloo."

"Sh-Should I open it? W-Will I get arrested if I read it?" Fluttershy quivered.

"No silly, don't worry, you're not going to get into trouble for reading anything..." The Mayor paused for a second; she turned her head to look at Rainbow Dash to see the diaper sticking out of her running shorts. "Your underwear is sticking out Rainbow Dash; you might want to pull-up your shorts a little more." She chuckled to herself.

"No biggie Mayor, I'll do it later." Rainbow Dash said; she looked down to see her diaper was in fact sticking out of her running shorts.

"So. as I was saying, this folder that I have given you will allow you to read up anything about Scootaloo. It's my job to keep these types of folders secure and away from the public when it comes to children who aren't adopted."

"B-But why are you giving it m-me?" Fluttershy asked.

"As much as I want to run a fully done course of action this whole adoption process, in my veins... I feel that you are the perfect person to look after Scootaloo. You're Fluttershy after all, and I have seen what you have done for the animals around town during the Winter Season."

"S-So I can a-adopt Scootaloo?"

"Yes, but I just need to talk to you about certain things."

"Do y-you need some m-money? D-do I have t-to pay?"

The Mayor laughed. "No, no. It's nothing like that, I just want some information regarding why you want to adopt Scootaloo, that's all."

A bright red flash flew across her pale cheeks, she couldn't help but place her hands on her cheeks and looked away from the Mayor and turned to Rainbow Dash. She couldn't go on; her friend had to continue for her. Rainbow rolled her eyes and looked at the Mayor.

"Oh... Fluttershy wants to adopt Scootaloo 'cause she really wants a kid, but she don't want to go through all the pregnancy stuff cause she can't find a good lookin' man for herself."

The Mayor raised an eyebrow, and slowly nodded and leaned back in her chair.

"This is... understandable..."

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked at each other for a moment before looking back at the Mayor.

"W-What's understandable?"

"Well Fluttershy, this is one of the main reasons for adoption in this local area. As the two of you should know by now there isn't really a high-strive for women and men to actually... well... have children together nowadays. Adoption is the method that most women and men use when they feel uncomfortable with the whole 'sex' situation popping up every so often. I fully understand if you didn't want to become pregnant yourself. You have a heart of gold dear, adopting a poor child such as Scootaloo might be good for her as she will be taken into a home that actually cares and loves her. You might even turn her life around and help her become so much more than she already is."

"Wh-Who else, uh... you know... adopted children in t-town?"

"Lyra and Bon Bon adopted Tootsie Flute a few years back; they adopted her from the Canterbury orphanage before they were married. She is as happy as a little clam, she loves her parents very much and they show the utmost care and love that I have seen any parents give their child in most recent years."

"Th-That's g-great..."

"Now..." The Mayor put down her papers and turned to face Rainbow Dash for a second with a small smirk growing across her face, Rainbow raised an eyebrow as looked back at the Mayor.

"Are you an Infantilist? I haven't seen anyone around town above the age of twenty-one wearing diapers for a very long time Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow's smile instantly dropped, the words that came from the Mayor felt like bricks being thrown into her face. Fluttershy quickly felt the same-way as she chimed in to what she actually said.

"How do you know?" Rainbow Dash leaned forward and quickly pulled up her running shorts to cover her diaper.

"It took me a few seconds to register that your so called 'undies' was actually a diaper popping out from your shorts when you came to me yesterday, you shouldn't be ashamed of something like that you know." The Mayor also leaned forward and rested her arms on the table.

"Yeah, so what if I am wearing diapers?"

"Nothing, I have heard of Infantilist's before and I just guessed you are one. You can curse at me all you like if I'm wrong, but it's only a question."

"Where'ja hear of 'em before?"

"A few years ago, I was in Canterbury on a business related trip regarding a newly elected minister, I was invited to come along and relax at one of the fancy hotels there. I did some personal exploring while I was there going from store to store looking for little collectables and ornaments for my home back here and I found out that a few members of the people I was working with turned out to be an Infantilist. Needless to say, I caught one of them in the act with who I presume is his wife looking after him."

Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were speechless; there was someone else who did the exact same thing that they did together.

"Wh-What was the man’s n-name?" Fluttershy politely asked, still flushed as the red marks on her cheeks glowed.

"If I remember correctly... his name was Fancy Pants ... or something that sounded similar to that, he was such a gentle and brave fellow. He does something that one would bat an eyelid at the first glance, it's what I thought made him rather unique if I say so myself. Does Fluttershy assume the motherly role while you dress up in one of those diapers that you're wearing?"

"Uh... yeah..." Rainbow nodded awkwardly.

"Please excuse me for being so nosy, but... how do you obtain this attraction to acting like a baby? It's not something that you can talk about in everyday conversations."

Fluttershy took this for the worst, she moved her hands out of the way and grabbed onto Rainbow's hand, by squeezing it tightly, and she needed to get the weight from her shoulders.

"It w-was me!" Fluttershy interrupted both of them.

"Pardon?" The Mayor leaned back a little.

"I w-was the one that m-made Rainbow Dash a-act like a baby! I w-was the one who m-made her interested in acting like a b-baby! I'm so s-sorry!" As Fluttershy spoke, she was beginning to tear herself apart, tears began to flow down from her face and she looked away from both of her friends in absolute shame. The weight on her shoulders only felt worse as she cried even louder, but it was worse than that. Now that she had told the Mayor of her dirty little secret it would be near-impossible to adopt the child she longed for so much.

The Mayor and Rainbow Dash looked at each other for a moment; the Mayor quickly got up and walked over to Fluttershy who was now starting to sob her eyes out. She leaned down to Fluttershy's level and placed her fingers onto her chin and lifted her head up to make eye-level contact.

"Fluttershy..."

...

"Fluttershy..."

...

She could get no response out of her; Fluttershy continued to cry no matter what. The Mayor turned to Rainbow Dash to see that she was leaning forward on her chair, she used her elbow to position her hands under chin who also looked rather upset by Fluttershy's crying.

"Rainbow Dash... I think it would be best if we were to cancel the meeting as of today and I send you the adoption forms and legal letters through the mail. I apologize for bringing up that certain subject and those words shall never get outside the office, you can leave now and take her home to calm down."

"Sure..." Rainbow groaned, she stood up from her chair and stretched her arms up into the air and lightly grabbed Fluttershy by the arm and let her stand up, with her face being covered up by her long pink hair and her loud sobs filled the room she also stood up as Rainbow dragged her towards the exit. Leaving the Mayor to watch as Rainbow Dash let Fluttershy leave the room.

Six Hours Later...

The clouds high up in the sky started to form into a centrepiece, their white forms were slowly engulfed by the invading blackness that took them over. The world below began to darken as the light from the sun was blocked by the harsh clouds as they started to roar and scream together in sync, thunder and lightning was only the first step to summoning the rain.

High winds started to force their way to the world below and blow the leaves off from the trees, forcing whatever life down below to run and hide into the nearest shelter. The cold air was enough to force people around town to get inside and stay there, the storm looked absolutely horrible.

Scootaloo was the one to take the brunt end of the stick, the weather started to pour down at an intense rate as she quickly ran down the muddy dirt path that led down towards the cottage that her beautiful mother lived. As the thunder and lightning crashed and banged, so did Scootaloo. In the midst of this storm her school uniform and hair were drenched in the torrents of rain that fell straight from the sky.

Her short purple hair was once nicely combed by her loving mother, but now it has reverted back to its original dirty and spiky setting as her hairs became free and flowing in the wind. Her skirt helplessly flew up and down as the wind shot straight right past her.

But there was a light at the end of the road; she perfectly knew what this was. It was her home!

Fluttershy's peaceful cottage was sitting in the middle of the storm, the rain started to pour down even harder than before as Scootaloo ran towards her sanctuary unable to keep the happy feelings for her new mother. After a hard and long day at school she couldn't wait to take off her uniform and relax under her mother’s arms knowing that she would be safe and secure.

She ran up to the front of the college and quickly kicked open the front gate that lead into the garden, she then slowed down a little and started to unravel her backpack from her arms and dashed to the front door and carelessly gripped onto the door handle, with a violent twist she managed to get inside the house. She slipped through and closed it behind her.

Now that she was inside, Scootaloo could definitely tell that her mother had done something different. All the curtains were closed and the loud static buzzing of the TV could be heard over the pitter patter of the rain outside, the light attached to the ceiling was significantly dimmed which meant most of the living room was dark.

But there seemed to be a light originating from the kitchen, hope had sparked within Scootaloo as she dropped her bag onto the carpet and slowly made her way for the kitchen. She got up to the opened the peeked her head round to see her idol sitting down in the middle on the room eating something.

Scootaloo walked into the kitchen feeling very nervous as she cleared her voice which caused her idol to turn round.

"Scoots? Is that you?" Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at the child; she stopped what she was doing and got up from her chair to take a good look at the child. Only to see that she was drenched in rain.

"H-Hello Rainbow D-Dash... ah... ACHOO!" Scootaloo seized up for a moment, she closed her eyes and then violently sneezed, causing some of the water droplets to fall from her clothing.

"Woah..." Rainbow tilted backwards a little. "You alright?" She asked her little friend.

"Rainbow Dash... where's Fluttershy?" Scootaloo whined.

"She's upstairs, but you can't see her yet, she's a little bit upset at the moment."

"Wh-What happened?!"

"Nothin' serious if you're wondering. Fluttershy just got a little upset in the meeting that's all."

"W-What?!" Scootaloo squeaked. "Is she okay? Can I go see her?"

"She fell asleep in her bedroom, I've been here since half eleven waiting for her to wake up."

Scootaloo was scared; did something go wrong at the meeting? She needed to find out; she didn't want to be with her foster parents. And without a second to delay she quickly ran away from Rainbow Dash and headed up the stairs to check up on her beloved mother.

To be continued...

Chapter Nineteen

Scootaloo ran up the stairs at great speeds, her wet clothing was starting to dry off as she moved upwards towards the bedroom door. It was making her hot and irritated in all of the fuss, but before she could even lay a hand down onto the bedroom door she felt something tug on her backside. She turned to see Rainbow Dash standing behind her latching onto her wet woolly jumper with one hand, her idol didn't look very happy, she was frowning.

"Scoots... what are ya' doing? Fluttershy is asleep at the moment!" Rainbow leaned closer to the child and whispered.

"But I wanna see my mommy!" Scootaloo attempted to argue back.

"You can't just go in there and wake her up, the meeting with the Mayor took it out of her and she just wants to some rest..."

"But... I came home to see her... I just... felt really... scared..." Scootaloo sniffled; she looked back at the bedroom door and then faced back at Rainbow Dash. She groaned a little and moved away from the door and waited for her punishment, she crossed her arms and looked away from her idol.

"Scoots... Fluttershy can't always be there for you, she needs some rest. Now c'mon! Let's get you into some different clothes."

Both were in agreement, Scootaloo felt really irritated by her clothing and how it was sticking to her skin. But wait- What about her normal clothes? They were last seen in Fluttershy's room.

"Rainbow Dash..." Scootaloo gulped.

"Yeah?"

"My clothes are in Fluttershy's room..."

Rainbow Dash frowned a little; she paused for a moment and then looked at the nursery door with an idea in mind.

"I have an idea Scoots."

"What?"

"I'm still wearing my diapers Scoots, and guess what?"

"What is it?"

"The nursery door is unlocked."

A smile crept across the childs face like wildfire, she looked up at her idol with excitement and giggled knowing what was about to happen.

"You mean we get to be babies again? But what about Fluttershy looking after us?"

"Forget that, how about we pretend that we escaped our cribs or something and no one is there to stop us." Rainbow mischievously grinned; she nudged Scootaloo by the elbow and walked over to the door. The grabbed onto the lock and slowly twisted it causing it to reveal the nursery.

The entire room was dark, all the toys and pieces of baby equipment had been put away for its next resident. The thunder and lightning that flashed through the room made it look like both Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash were exploring a haunted house; this made it even more exciting for them. Scootaloo was the first one to enter the nursery, she knew exactly where the changing table was and she dashed over to it and climbed up to the top awaiting her change in clothing.

Rainbow Dash closed the door behind her and flicked on the light switch, she saw Scootaloo sitting on top of the changing table with her thumb already in her mouth.

"You're already on the table? Gee... looks like someone is excited to be a big baby again." Rainbow giggled, she walked over to the changing table and picked up one of the freshly folded diapers from the side of the table and then noticed that Scootaloo was quickly taking her clothing off. It seemed that the rain did more damage than she guessed, the water went through the jumper and through to her skin.

Scootaloo got her head stuck; her white school shirt was stuck, because of it being so warm and wet at the same time it was now sticking onto her.

"Woah... slow down Scoots..."

The child pulled on the shirt even harder and managed to get it off her head, now she was naked from the top front. All she had to do is pull down her skirt and undies. Rainbow Dash picked up her clothing as it came off from her and lazily placed it on the other side of the changing table.

"I'm ready Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo quickly pulled her skirt and undies down and put them where Rainbow had put her school uniform, she was now naked.

"So... how did school go with Cheerilee?" Rainbow asked, Scootaloo covered up her sensitive area with her hands as she lay down on the table and waited for her new diaper to be put on her. Rainbow unfolded the diaper and stretched out the tapes and started to position it over the child.

"It was lame..." Scootaloo lifted up her backside and let the diaper slide under her, now she felt the nice cushion inside of the diaper hug her from all sides. She was definitely happy; as her thumb was still in her mouth she kicked her legs around like an infant as Rainbow Dash taped up the final side of the diaper.

"What was lame about school?" Rainbow asked.

"I didn't get what Cheerilee was tryin' to tell me when Cheerilee was reading this story to me."

"It's just practice, even me and Fluttershy could help you with your reading."

"But it's just so confusing!"

"Y'know, I had trouble reading stuff when I was a kid, don't sweat it Scoots. Fluttershy and Cheerilee will help you out."" Rainbow Dash took a step back and rubbed her hands in accomplishment to what she just did, she had put another diaper onto Scootaloo. She watched the child sit up on the changing table and blush at her new undergarment.

It took Scootaloo a few seconds to sink in what Rainbow had said; she was too busy looking at her newly placed diaper and started to giggle a little at how snug it fit on her.

"Heh, yeah... are we gonna play that game Rainbow Dash?"

"What game?"

"You know that one where you said we escape our crib and play with the toys."

"Sure, but let's just chill in the crib for a while and then do it."

"Can't we play now?"

"Nah, I wanna talk to you, you know? Girls stuff."

"But I thought you didn't like girly pink stuff?"

"I do now, so let's chill in the crib."

Scootaloo jumped off from the changing table and landed on her feet, she stood for a second and then sat down on the carpet with her thumb still plugged into her mouth. Rainbow Dash walked over to the crib and unlocked it so that its side would slide up and down, she pulled it down while allowed her and Scootaloo to enter the crib and rest for a while.

"C'mon, in ya' go." Rainbow gestured towards the crib.

"Do I have to?"

"Yeah, now if we’re going to play this little game then you have to get inside it."

"Okay..." Scootaloo groaned she took her time by crawling over to the crib instead of walking over; this made Rainbow Dash laugh a little. She couldn't help but see how cute Scootaloo looked as she crawled across the floor.

"Yep! Crawl in!" Rainbow laughed.

Scootaloo stopped as she got to the front of the crib and slowly stood up, acting as if she was standing up for the first time. She lifted her leg over the wooden bars and jumped into the crib; she landed onto a giant stuffed animal and rested her head on the thick pillow. Rainbow Dash followed and slowly dipped herself in and rested on the other side of the crib opposite to where Scootaloo was lying.

Rainbow crossed her legs and grabbed one of the toys, she used her spare hand to lift up the wooden bars and click them into place, and they were now stuck in the crib.

"What are we gonna do now Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo leaned up and rested against some of the toys in the crib as if they were a second cushion.

"Well, we could talk and play with some of the toys if you want to."

"Hmm..." Scootaloo looked around the crib to see the many toys and stuffed animals that were put in the crib most likely by Fluttershy, but she had a different idea. Instead, she got up and crawled over to Rainbow Dash and sat down on her lap where she had crossed her legs and cuddled up with her best friend. Rainbow smiled at this and knew just what to do.

" Does da' baby wanna pway wif some toys? "

Scootaloo knew that tone of voice; she started to giggle as she heard what Rainbow Dash was doing. She wrapped her arms around her idol and hugged her tightly.

"No... I dun' wanna pway yet... " Scootaloo copied her friends tone of voice, but she couldn't help but giggle as she tried.

"Heh... how did that reading stuff go at school? You said it sucked or something."

"Oh..." Scootaloo looked up and kept her head rested on Rainbow's chest.

"Miss Cheerilee helped me read Itsy Bitsy Spider..."

"Oh man, that's easy Scoots. I learned that when I was like four." Dash interrupted.

"I couldn't get most of the words right..." Scootaloo frowned.

"What? You didn't get a nursery rhyme? What didn't you understand about it?"

"The words in the book... they were all different colors 'cause the book was for little kids... they gave me a headache when Cheerilee asked me to read a few words..."

"Yer' concentratin' too hard Scoots."

"How do you know?"

"When I run around town for a morning jog, I sometimes get headaches if I concentrate on one thing for too long. Like if I worry about stretchin' my legs out too far then I think I might fall and I try my best not to but then I get a massive headache ‘cause I’m trying way too hard. You need to relax a little and then do it when you ain’t thinkin’ so much about it."

"But the words are just like squiggly lines when I look at them, I don't get them Rainbow Dash..."

"Did ya' tell Cheerilee about this?"

"No..." Scootaloo looked away from her idol.

"Then you might wanna tell her tomorrow."

"Okay Rainbow Dash..."

Both of them were silent for a good minute, the only thing they did was hug each other. Scootaloo felt so relaxed, she was starting to strangely feel a little bit tired after all that work she did at school. Rainbow Dash wanted to keep on talking, her plan was going well. She diverted all of her little friend’s attention away from Fluttershy and onto something else.

" Is da' wittle baby falling asleep? " Rainbow leaned her head down and nudged Scootaloo by her shoulder; this caused the child to look up at her idol and give a little smile.

"Just relaxin' Rainbow Dash..."

"I thought were going to escape our cribs together?" Rainbow smiled. "You're sleeping on the job baby Scoots, what are we going to do in the crib if we can't get out?"

"Uh..." Scootaloo blushed. "I don't know..."

Rainbow Dash leaned up and shuffled Scootaloo over towards some of the toys within the crib, she too moved around and rested her head on the small pillows, as she was now lying down with her legs slightly bent, Scootaloo crawled over to Rainbow Dash and rested herself on top of her idols body.

"What are you doing Scoots?" Rainbow asked.

"I just want a hug." Scootaloo blushed.

"You shouldn't have to ask, just do it." Rainbow wrapped her arms around the child and hugged her tightly, Scootaloo did the same and rested her head on Rainbow's chest and giggled.

"What's so funny?"

"Why are you still wearing your shirt?"

"Huh?" Rainbow tilted her head a little.

"I'm not wearing my shirt, just my diaper. Why don't you do the same?"

"I can't Scoots; I have to wear my shirt."

"Why? What's wrong?"

"If I take off my shirt you'll see my boobs." Rainbow raised her voice a little.

Scootaloo couldn't contain herself as soon as her idol said that word, she started to laugh out loud, and Rainbow was none pleased. She just watched Scootaloo slip off from the top of her body and fall onto some of the stuffed animals wriggling around as she couldn't stop laughing.

"Yeah, yeah. Pretty funny, I bet all the kids in your class laugh about that stuff." Rainbow crossed her arms and rolled her eyes.

"Teehee... boobs sounds so silly!" Scootaloo managed to stop some of her laughter, she got back up and sat down next to her friend and rested beside her both sharing the small pillow.

"No it doesn't..."

"Yeah it does!"

"No it doesn't..."

"It's silly!"

Rainbow Dash smirked, she turned herself over and look at Scootaloo with a playful smile and wrapped her arms around the child to continue hugging her.

"No it doesn't!" Rainbow giggled.

"Yeah it does!" Scootaloo started to burst into laughter once again, Rainbow Dash soon followed as they had a good laugh together and slowly died down, the child wiped the joyful tears from her face and grabbed one of the fluffy stuffed animals and placed it in between her and Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo playfully whispered.

"Yeah?"

"Are we gonna still play the game?"

"Yep, but..." Rainbow got up on her knees and looked over from the top of the crib and peered over to take a look at the other objects within the nursery, she saw the treasure chest, the row of teddy bears high up on the shelf and something that she didn't notice in the nursery before. It was a wooden rocking horse with a saddle on top of it.

"What is it Rainbow Dash?"

"I have an idea..."

To be continued...

Chapter Twenty

"You stay in the crib Scoots, I have an idea that Fluttershy might like for when she wakes up." Rainbow Dash jumped down onto the other side of the crib and landed on the ground, she stood back up leaving her little friend behind as she now had her idea set in action. She looked around for a moment taking close inspections at the nursery and some of its cabinets and wardrobes, another idea sprung up in her head that just made her giggle.

"Woah! Rainbow Dash, let me out! I wanna come too!" Scootaloo stood up and leaned over the crib, she reached out for her friend but had no luck in reaching her. Rainbow turned round and saw Scootaloo trying to reach out of the crib for her like an infant.

"You stay there, I'm gonna do some explorin'." Rainbow stretched her arms and began to walk over to one of the wardrobes that were stationed in the corner of the room.

Slightly hidden from the rest of the room was a large wooden wardrobe that nearly hit the top of the ceiling, Rainbow Dash took notice and walked over to it as she took a good look of its basic design. Small images and stickers or cutesy looking animals and stars were carelessly plastered on the front no doubt by Fluttershy herself. Rainbow grabbed the knob at the front of the wardrobe and pulled it open as if it were a door and saw a massive line of clothing all held together by coat hangers and shelves.

Rainbow Dash was impressed, she seriously impressed at what Fluttershy had in the nursery, but this just pushed it over the limit. Onesies, overalls, dresses, little frocks, pyjamas, socks, mittens, scarves, hats, shoes, and even a small cardboard box filled with more baby toys and supplies than she could ever imagine. It took Rainbow a second to avert her gaze at the clothing for a second as she leaned away and looked back at Scootaloo.

"What did you find? I'm dying to know!"

"Scoots, are you sure you wanna escape the crib?"

"Yeah!" She rocked her fist into the air.

"How about another game?"

"Huh? Like what? I wanna play the escape game!"

"Nah, I've got something way better..." Rainbow giggled, she looked back into the wardrobe and took another good look at the clothing inside. She reached in and started to move the clothing around to look for the perfect item for Scootaloo, she noticed something in one of the corners of the wardrobe and carelessly pulled it out with the coat hanger still attached to the top of it.

She walked over to the crib where Scootaloo was still standing and Rainbow revealed the item to the child, her playful smile soon dropped as she looked at the garment that Rainbow Dash had picked out for her.

"Let's play dress-up!"

Those words were something that Scootaloo didn't expect to come out of Rainbow's mouth, she turned round holding some denim overalls that were toddler sized, there was a yellow t-shirt attached from the inside of the clothing to make it look like there was a t-shirt coming through. Scootaloo's smile and excitement slowly died down as she curiously looked at the clothing. There weren’t any legs for the wearer, there was just a part of the overalls that cut off and left the legs open just like an onesie.

"Where did you get that?"

"Fluttershy's got a wardrobe full of baby clothes, didn't you see it when we came in?"

"Hey! I think it might the same place where my onesie is, can you let me out and let me see?"

Rainbow walked over to the changing table and put down the overalls on the front and giggled, she walked back over to the crib where Scootaloo was still leaning over and ruffled her hair.

"Nah, I need to get da' babies clothing weddy now or ewlse she might get cowld." Rainbow giggled.

"Hey c'mon Rainbow Dash! I wanna wear my onesie!"

"But I dun' know where it is... mommy dunt' tell me anyfink..."

Scootaloo chuckled, she decided to sit down in the crib and hang her legs out through the thin wooden bars. She inserted her thumb into her mouth and innocently started to suck on it. Rainbow reached out for the lock on the side of the crib and pulled it open which caused the wooden side to slightly drop to allow Scootaloo to climb out and explore the crib.

"You ain't going nowhere, I'm gonna play dress-up with you."

"I don't have a choice?"

"Nope."

Scootaloo frowned a little, she pulled her legs out of the crib bars and slowly climbed over the crib. After she touched the ground with both feet, she then decided to sit back down on the carpet once again and wait for Rainbow Dash to pick her up. She was instantly picked up by her friend and quickly cuddled her arms around Rainbow's chest, holding on tightly to make sure that she didn't fall down. With her thumb still in her mouth and her mind thinking about all the infantile games she wished to play, she couldn't help but smile again.

Rainbow Dash walked over to the changing table with Scootaloo still tightly wrapped in her arms and placed her down on the edge where she had put down the toddler overalls for the child, she then picked up the clothing she pulled out of the wardrobe and undone the buttons of the front of the overalls and pulled out the t-shirt that came with it.

Scootaloo curiously eyed the t-shirt that Rainbow pulled out and grabbed it from her and pulled it to the front of her face, as the t-shirt was closer to her face she was now able to see the details on this basic white t-shirt. Strangely, it was her size and there were images of bunny rabbits and flowers printed onto the shirt. Something that Fluttershy would like.

She placed the t-shirt over and dipped her head into the underside and poked her head through the top, she then ruffled her arms through the holes and then looked down to see herself in just her diaper and her new t-shirt. She herself thought that she looked adorable, the bottom of her diaper was slightly sticking out making her feel evermore like an infant.

"Put this on." Rainbow Dash handed the overalls to Scootaloo now that she had put on the yellow t-shirt, the buttons at the top were undone and all she had to do was put it on for Rainbow Dash. She jumped off the table holding the overalls with her and she put it down on the floor and dipped her legs through the holes at the bottom. With her legs going through she then slowly pulled up the overalls by the sides and pulled them up until she couldn't any more. Rainbow Dash quickly leaned down and grabbed onto the overalls and buttoned them together.

"There you go, how 'bout that? You look like a toddler."

"Yeah..." Scootaloo was now wrapped in the overalls she was wearing, she looked down once again to see that there were no areas that covered her legs, just like her onesie.

"You look awesome, what do you wanna do now?"

"Uh... play with some toys?"

"Wait- Hold on Scoots." Rainbow paused, she leaned down under Scootaloo's legs and reached out towards the cabinet under the table. Scootaloo wasn't able to see what her friend was doing, but it sounded like she was trying to find something. She eventually got back up holding a large orange pacifier round her fingers, it strangely resembled the one that she had used earlier but the difference was is that it was much bigger.

Rainbow didn't take a moment to explain, she instead leaned forward and plucked the pacifier into the child’s mouth and she instantly began to suckle on it.

"You should be lucky Scoots, it's the biggest pacifier I could find."

"Mmph..."

"And it doesn't let you talk either, how cute."

"MM-" Scootaloo pulled her pacifier out of her mouth with a loud pop. "Can we play a game now? I'm getting really bored..."

"Sure, sure... what do you wanna play?"

"C'mon Rainbow Dash! Stop teasing! I wanna play the escape game."

"Fine, fine. But where do you want to start? Where are we gonna go after we escape the nursery?"

"Uh... To Fluttershy!" Scootaloo happily yelled.

"Fluttershy? But she's still asleep, we can't just barge in and wake up Fluttershy."

"C'mon Rainbow Dash! It'll be fun! We can sneak into her bed and cuddle up and fall asleep together!"

"Why don't we just crawl our way to the stairs and watch some TV? Does that sound better?"

"Nah, I wanna see my mommy!"

"Ugh..." Rainbow groaned, she knew that this wouldn't end well. "If I take you to Fluttershy, can you please be nice and quiet with her?"

"I can do that!"

"No you can't.

"Yes I can!" Scootaloo playfully yelled back.

"Then why don't you lower your voice? Fluttershy had quite a bit of a hard time in that meeting today, and I don't think she'd like to be woken up by your shouting. C'mon, let's take you to Fluttershy if you want to see her so badly."

"Wait!"

"What?" Rainbow Dash paused.

"Can I crawl to the bedroom? I'm supposed to be a toddler, silly!"

Rainbow Dash nodded and took a few steps away from the changing table and walked over to the door, she opened it a little and waited for her little friend to make her way over. Scootaloo just watched for a moment and then sat herself down onto the carpet and thought about how she was going to crawl, such a simple thing required much timing and thought planned into it. But Scootaloo didn't care, she just stuffed her pacifier back into her mouth and crawled like she did when she made her way towards the crib. All she could hear as she made her way over to the door in her overalls was the chuckles and giggles coming straight from Rainbow Dash.

"Heh, you think you can pick up the pace?" Rainbow taunted.

Scootaloo ignored what her friend said, she just continued on with her business and made it to the door. Rainbow opened the door a little more and allowed her little friend to escape into the hallway, as Scootaloo was now free from her nursery, she sat in position waiting for Rainbow Dash to follow up. Rainbow quickly moved round to the other side of the door and quietly closed it without making much sound, she looked down to see that Scootaloo was still waiting for her.

"You still waitin' for me? You should just crawl into Fluttershy's bedroom, but do it quietly, okay?"

Scootaloo nodded as she started to get back on her knees again.

It was very dark, darker than the nursery with its lights off. Fluttershy's bedroom was pitch-black yet only accompanied from time to time with the bright light coming from a flash of lightning and the scream of thunder. Lying on her own bed wrapped round in a thick yellow blanket was Fluttershy, still dreary and tired from her recent experience she continued on to wrap her arms around a spare pillow that she had. Filling in the slot of something that would satisfy her and keep her calm and protected she needed something to cheer her up, other than the frightening light bashing it's way through the windows every few seconds.

The area around her eyes were dripped in her tears as her eyes begged to blink, the stinging sensation caused her to inaudibly whimper from time to time. She needed someone or something to make her feel happy again, but she knew that wouldn't happen, Rainbow Dash didn't check up on her which led to the eventual assumption that she left for good. Scootaloo would be sent back to her foster home never able to see her mother once more. It was horrible for her.

"I'll open the door and you just crawl in... okay?"

It was at that moment as if Fluttershy heard a familiar voice, still wrapped in her sheets she leaned up from her bed a little to ear out what was going on. Through a small creak in the middle of her blanket she saw her bedroom door slowly open being quickly followed by a blinding light that came from the hallway, she closed her eyes for a second to stop the pain in her eyes and then re-opened them to see that no one was there. The door was wide open, yet no one was entering.

"Just crawl up to her and wake her up nice and slowly..." A familiar voice whispered, Fluttershy knew who it was, she couldn't see her anywhere. Rainbow Dash wasn't in the bedroom, and who exactly was she talking to? Fluttershy quickly lowered her head back onto her pillow and closed her eyes.

Scootaloo was excited, not only did she think that her mother wasn't awake, but she couldn't wait to see her after so long. She could tell her what happened at school with the reading books and even play games with her and Rainbow Dash together. Just like the weekend she spent with her mommy.

She slowly crawled up towards the bed in the darkness trying to make sure she looked as infantile as possible, she kept her pacifier tight into her mouth her rump up in the air and her eyes fixed on Fluttershy lying down in her bed.

Scootaloo got close to the edge of the bed and decided to slowly climb up, she was now incredibly close to her mother it felt impossible not to resist waking her up. She stood up on her two feet and sat herself down next to Fluttershy and placed her hand on her mothers pink hair and slowly tapped at it.

"Hello mommy... time to wake up!" Scootaloo leaned forward and wrapped her arms around her mother who was still in her thick yellow blanket.

Fluttershy on the other hand was gob smacked, her little Scootaloo had come home. Unable to contain herself with joy she leaned up and opened her eyes to take a good look at her child once more.

"H-Hello Scootaloo..." Fluttershy smiled at her daughter.

"Hello mommy, do you like what Rainbow Dash let me wear!"

"Aww, you look adorable..."

"Thanks mommy!"

Both of them locked their arms around each other and started to hug one another. Rainbow Dash entered the room in time to see what was going on, she crossed her arms and walked over to them.

"You alright Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash looked down.

"Hello Rainbow Dash, I feel... uh, much better... thank you for asking..."

"What happened?" Scootaloo pulled away from the hug and looked at Rainbow Dash and then back to Fluttershy sounding rather confused.

"Oh... uh... I just felt tired Scootaloo, no need to worry... I went to bed a little bit early, that's all..."

“Like a powernap?”

“Uh… yes… like a powernap.”

“Say Scoots, why don’t you go turn the TV on downstairs. How about we watch some cartoons or something all together after Fluttershy gets out of bed?” Rainbow suggested.

“Ooh! Yeah! I heard there was a new cartoon about Daron Do on my favourite channel, we could watch that together!” Scootaloo just exploded with ideas, it was evident that she was excited now that she was back with Fluttershy once more. But she quickly jumped off from the bed and quickly ran out of the bedroom.

Now with Scootaloo gone, Rainbow turned round to face Fluttershy who looked pretty concerned.

“You seriously okay? No more cryin’ or anything like that?” Rainbow leaned her head close to Fluttershy and started to whisper.

“I’m fine Dashie, I just couldn’t help but think about Scootaloo… I’m sorry…”

“You don’t need to be, if I were in your shoes then I guess I’d panic about Scootaloo too…”

“I uh, noticed that you dressed her up like a baby again…” Fluttershy blushed.

“Yeah, just to keep her at bay while you could get some rest. We were gonna play a game, but instead I started to play dress-up with her.”

“Those overalls look really nice on Scootaloo, she looks like an actual toddler now.”

“Pretty weird if you ask me.”

“But… thank you for looking after Scootaloo… you’re such a good baby.”

Rainbow blushed for a moment and giggled.

"No problem, let's get you outta bed and relax."

"Oh no Dashie, I couldn't relax... I still have to look after you and Scootaloo, you're still my babies after all."

"Mm... true..." Rainbow nodded.

Fluttershy moved her legs and dangled them over the edge of her bed and leaned up, she pushed the blanket off from her chest to reveal that she was wearing her favourite yellow night gown once again. Rainbow stood up and grabbed her friends arm and slowly pulled her up to let her stand.

"Thank you Dashie."

"So... if I'm gonna act like your little baby again, what are we going to do together? There was loads of stuff I had in mind when me and Scoots were in the nursery. Plus, we noticed the rocking horse in the corner of the room."

"Oh? That old thing? I used to play with that when I was very little, my mom and dad used to push me forwards and backwards on it. I remember putting it in the attic when I first moved here, I thought my little ones would like to use it someday."

"Well I can't use it, I'm too big. But Scoots can."

Fluttershy giggled.

"We could always sit down together and read a nursery book... I have a few beanie bags we could sit down on, are those good enough for you Dashie?"

"Heh, they're pretty cool Fluttershy, I'm sure Scoots will love them."

Chapter Twenty-One

"So... are you wearing the diapers that you bought from that shop? I thought you would have went home after I fell asleep..."

"Nah, I wouldn't leave you when you're upset. But yeah, I did put on one of those diapers and I just watched some TV for a while and then mooched around in the kitchen and had some food, Scootaloo walked in drenched, I took her to the nursery and we just started to mess around."

"Oh my..." Fluttershy quietly gasped. "Is her school uniform in the nursery? I could clean it right away if she needed me to..."

"Hey, hey. Relax, just relax with your little babies and have some fun. m'kay?"

"Yes... fun..." Fluttershy nodded.

Both of them started to descend down the stairs to hear the sound of the TV and the cartoons that it played, soft high-pitched giggling could be heard as they got closer to the ground floor both knowing that Scootaloo was up to something. They reached the bottom of the stairs and took a good look around the living room and noticed that all of the curtains were closed. The living room was now dark, just like Fluttershy's bedroom. The only source of light that kept the room illuminated was the colourful images of the TV quickly flashing and passing by as Scootaloo continued to giggle.

Scootaloo was lying down on the couch, her body spread out as if she was resting on a bed with her large orange pacifier somewhat hanging out of her map as she couldn't help but laugh at what she was seeing on the TV screen. A pillow was wrapped round her arms to give her support and a clear view of what was going on, she looked away from the TV for a moment to see Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy standing by the stairs looking around dazed and confused of what is going on.

"Hello mommy! Hello Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo leaned up and happily waved over to the adults, both of them looking at each other and smiled. Fluttershy was the first to walk over to the happy child and sit down beside her on the couch; she lowered her arm and drove her fingers through Scootaloo's wet purple hair.

"Hello Scootaloo, how's my little baby doing today?" Fluttershy instantly got into character, she leaned forward and gave her daughter a quick kiss on the forehead and leaned back. She positioned her arms under Scootaloo's back and lightly picked her up and adjusted her so that she was now sitting on her lap. With the overalls and the pacifier helping the infantile image, Fluttershy blushed and hugged her child.

"I'm doing fine mommy, I'm just watching cartoons!" Scootaloo wrapped her arms around her mother and nuzzled her way into Fluttershy's chest.

Rainbow Dash chuckled at the sight and sat down beside Fluttershy on the couch. Fluttershy turned her head a little and smiled at Rainbow for a moment.

"And how is my big baby doing?" She asked Dash with a wink.

"Never felt any better mommy." Rainbow nodded and put emphasis on 'mommy', she leaned her head onto Fluttershy's side and also wrapped her arms round her and started to hug her tightly.

"Aww, both of you are so happy to see me... Did both of you have a good play-time while I was sleeping?" Fluttershy never felt so close with Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo, it was like magic. With a sudden wink and some details she had planned out in the back of her head, her dream was starting to come true.

"Yeah! Me and Dashie played dress-up together!" Scootaloo now sounded excited, as if her most recent game was important as ever. Like a massive accomplishment.

"Whoa! Did you like playing dress-up too Dashie?" She turned her head and looked at Rainbow Dash with a smile on her face.

"Yep!" Rainbow nodded.

"Aww... do you both want something to drink? My little babies must be really thirsty, Uh, I have some milk in the fridge if you... well, want some..." Fluttershy started to blush, her streak of courage died down in a playful defeat. As she was still wrapped round Rainbow and Scootaloo's arms she started to politely move them out of the way allowing her to stand up. She slowly placed Scootaloo down onto the couch and stood up in front of her little babies.

"I'll have a milk bottle!" Scootaloo was the first to yell out her request, Fluttershy smiled and looked at Rainbow Dash who was now positioning herself into a comfortable spot on the couch.

"How about you Dashie? Do you want a milk bottle?"

"Hmm..." Rainbow thought for a moment. "Have you got... uh... a sippy cup? I'd love to have some orange juice or something."

"Ooh! Ooh! I'll have what Rainbow Dash is having instead!" Scootaloo playfully raced over to Rainbow Dash and landed onto her chest, the child quickly climbed up and sat up on Rainbow's lap which caused both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash to giggle slightly.

"Are you sure Scootaloo? You don't want any milk?"

"Yep! I want some orange juice!"

"Okay... I'll go into the kitchen and make the drinks for my little babies..." Fluttershy turned to the kitchen door and walked through the archway, leaving both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo alone. Rainbow wrapped her arms round Scootaloo and pulled her back so that she was properly lying down on her chest.

"How you likin' being treated like a baby again Scoots?"

"Its fun!"

"What's it feel like to be wearin' overalls?"

Scootaloo paused for a moment and felt her clothing with her hands.

"Its weird Rainbow Dash... every time I try and walk my legs get spread apart 'cause of my diaper."

"But are you comfortable?"

"Yeah!" She happily yelled and then paused again and looked down to her legs and then stared back at Rainbow Dash with a blush on her cheeks. "Rainbow Dash?"

"Yeah Scoots?"

"Do you use your diapers?"

"Use 'em? I'm still wearing mine yeah."

"No..." Scootaloo looked from side to side making sure that her mommy wasn't around to hear what she was about to say, the child leaned her head close to Rainbow's ears and began to whisper. "I mean... do you pee in them?"

"I peed in one of my diapers this morning cause I was lying in bed and I didn't wanna get up for the toilet, so I guess yeah." Rainbow shrugged, she also lowered her voice and whispered to the child.

"Well... its just... uh... I did something... in my diaper... I kinda peed... and I was wondering... if you could change my diaper for me?" Scootaloo looked away in slight worry, Rainbow Dash just raised an eyebrow and casually nodded her head.

"Can't do that Scoots, I'm just a little baby." She smiled. "When did you pee in your diaper?"

"I watched the cartoons... and they made me laugh so hard... it made me pee a little..."

"Hey, don't worry. Fluttershy will change your diaper. You should've told her when she was still here though."

"Sorry Rainbow Dash..."

"Its okay."

Rainbow wrapped her arms around the child and gave her a hug.

Fluttershy came back into the room from the archway out of the kitchen holding a small food tray by the handles with a baby bottle, a sippy cup and a food bowl on the top of it. She walked over to the table in front of the couch and slowly placed it down making sure that nothing on the tray spilled or fell over.

"I have two bottles filled up with some concentrated orange juice... I hope you like it..."

"Yay!" Scootaloo threw her arms up into the air and jumped off from Rainbow's chest and leaned over towards the table to grab her baby bottle full of orange juice.

"Thanks 'mom'" Rainbow smiled, she slowly leaned over to pick up her sippy cup and before drinking, she took a good look at what she had in front of her.

She took a close look at the sippy cup and noticed the cute pink images of butterflies and flowers on the transparent plastic, the top lid of the sippy cup had a white area where she would put her mouth. Rainbow Dash inserted the sippy cup into her mouth and began to drink down the orange juice.

Scootaloo soon followed and began to drink from her bottle like a good baby, Fluttershy smiled and sat down next to the child and picked her up onto her lap. She gently rocked Scootaloo back and forth in a comforting notion and ran her fingers down the childs purple short wet hair.

"This is some pretty good orange juice Fluttershy." Rainbow plucked her sippy cup out of her mouth and licked her lips, feeling the weak taste of orange still on her lips.

"Thank you Rainbow Dash."

"Hey mommy, what are we going to do now?" Scootaloo also pulled the bottle out of her mouth and turned to face her mother, Fluttershy looked at her and thought for a second.

"Oh, I don't know Scootaloo, what would you like to do?"

"I wanna play!"

"What do you want to play with?"

"I wanna play with you and Rainbow Dash!"

"I'll always have the free time to play with you and Rainbow Dash, but what do you want to play? I have some Lego blocks in the toy chest upstairs and some dolls that you could play with."

Scootaloo placed a finger on her chin and thought for a moment of this offer.

"Can we all... uh... um... I dunno what to do..." Scootaloo blushed, she continued on with her bottle of orange juice and shoved it back into her own mouth.

"It's okay Scootaloo." Fluttershy turned her head to face Dash, with her hands on her exposed belly and with an empty sippy cup in hand. "What about you Rainbow Dash?"

"I say we look inside the toy chest and find some other stuff to play with, I'm sure you bought loads of rattles, plushies, animal dolls, and blocks. Y'know, all that sorta' stuff."

"Ooh! Thank you Dashie, you reminded me about something."

"What did I do?"

"I did actually buy some rattles and other little toys, I did buy a... well... I don't know how to explain it... but... er... its like a blanket... but it has lots and lots of toys attached to it..."

"Cool! A blanket with some toys on it!" Scootaloo squeaked with the bottle still in her mouth.

"Let's go upstairs."

Fluttershy wrapped her arms around Scootaloo and picked her up, the child quickly grabbed onto her mother’s shoulders using one arm and using the other to hold the bottle. Both of them made their way towards the stairs and Rainbow Dash soon followed, she put down the sippy cup down on the coffee table and started to make her way over to Fluttershy.

The nursery door slowly slid open, Fluttershy was the first one to walk in with Scootaloo still wrapped around her holding tightly to make sure that she doesn't fall down to the ground. Both of them took a good look at the nursery to see where Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash had been playing, the blankets and pillows within the crib were all slightly ruffled and out of place.

The weather outside still retained its haunting feeling, the lightning shined through the cracks in the curtains just like they did a few minutes ago. The thunder kept of echoing throughout the cottage putting Fluttershy on edge.

Rainbow Dash was the last one to enter the room, she poked her head in after slowly ascending the stairs to see Fluttershy put down Scootaloo on the changing table. She walked into the nursery and headed over to her friends to see what was going on.

"So what you are doing?" Rainbow placed her hand on Fluttershy's shoulder and leaned forward to get a good look at Scootaloo just sitting on the table.

"Oh... Dashie... uh, I'm going to change the babies diaper..." Fluttershy blushed.

"What? How did you know about Scootaloo's wet diaper?" Rainbow leaned back for a second and raised an eyebrow at her friend.

"I heard Scootaloo talking about her diaper when I was in the kitchen... sorry, was I supposed to guess that she was wet? Sorry..."

"No its cool." Rainbow Dash returned and tapped her friend on the shoulder.

"Don't worry mommy, I'll tell you when I felt like I peed myself." Scootaloo smiled at the two.

"Okay Scootaloo. Uh, lets just help you lie down and then I can change you."

Fluttershy placed her hand on the childs back and moved her so that she was now lying on the changing table, her legs were slightly hanging off from the edge on the other side and her head was too big for the little pillow that she was resting on. It dawned to Fluttershy that she would need some larger equipment for what she is dealing with.

"Uh, Dashie... you can open the toy chest if you want to... I just need to change Scootaloo and put her into some different clothing if that's alright with you..."

"Yeah sure, take your time. Just make sure Scootaloo looks really cute as possible."

Fluttershy's face blushed lightly.

"Do you want to help me pick some clothes for Scootaloo?"

"Sure. What does mommy have in mind?" Rainbow winked at her friend.

Fluttershy smiled and looked back at Scootaloo who was still relaxing on the changing table, she turned back to Rainbow Dash with a plan in mind.

"Dashie... if it isn't too much trouble... could you get Scootaloo's onesie out of the wardrobe please?"

"Ooh! Ooh! My onesie!" Scootaloo quickly leaned up and threw her arms up into the air and yelped with joy.

"Sure thing."

Rainbow Dash turned round to walked over to the wardrobe and opened it up, now that she had actually been through some of the clothing, they were much easier to indentify and were a breeze for her. She grabbed the largest blue onesie that she could find and closed the wardrobe doors with her feet and walked back over to the changing table where Fluttershy had started to undress Scootaloo.

Rainbow placed the onsie down on the other side of the table and turned over to the toy chest that was in the corner of the room near the crib, she walked over to it and leaned down onto her knees and unlocked it by moving the plastic switches to reveal a mountain of toys and necessities alike.

Building blocks, dolls, rattles, teddies, stuffed animals, plushies, board games, toy boats, pirate ships, Micro Machines, Lego blocks and so much more could be found within this wooden chest. It was like a light was shining out, slowly pulling Dash closer and closer to the treasure ever more.

"Woah... didn't think there would be that many..." Rainbow whispered to herself, she honestly didn't know where to start with all these toys. So many to choose from. Rainbow was at a loss for a moment here, she instead reached within the chest of opportunity and blindly grabbed the first set of toys that her hands came into contact with.

She turned her head away to get the satisfaction of getting a random toy out of the chest, her hand brushed against something made out of a hard plastic, her fingers also tipped on something soft. Two toys for the price of one? She was definitely ready for this. This was the time, Rainbow wrapped her fingers round the object that she felt and locked them round to pick it up.

Rainbow lifted up the object resulting in a clash of plastic and wool within the box and the pulled out... two plastic blocks with basic numbers on them and a small white bunny rabbit plushy. Rainbow eyed up the two toys and the little white bunny rabbit and dropped the two blocks onto the carpet, instead wrapping her arms round the bunny rabbit and started to hug it tightly.

"Aw, is my little baby enjoying her toys?" Fluttershy called over, all in this time Rainbow didn't pay any attention to what Fluttershy and Scootaloo had been doing. She looked up to see Fluttershy looking at her with Scootaloo sitting upwards with her pacifier in her mouth and a change of clothing, the child was now in her onesie. And she looked more adorable than ever.

"I found a bunny, and it reminds me of Angel."

"How cute, Angel is supposed to come back home in a few days. I just hope he has been a good little bunny with all of his new bunny girlfriends." Fluttershy pondered, she set Scootaloo down on the floor next to Rainbow Dash, circling around the toys with them being in the middle. Fluttershy moved over to the toy chest and began to pluck certain toys out and put them in the middle of the pile.

"Angel is gonna be okay, 'specially with all of his new friends." Rainbow giggled.

"I just hope he hasn't been wearing himself out too much, I know how he likes to relax in his little basket in my bedroom all the time."

Rainbow turned to Scootaloo who was still sucking on her pacifier, the child looked down at the toys that Fluttershy was placing in the middle of the pile and began to pick them up one by one. She inspected a plastic toy boat out of the pile and gave it a good look. Rainbow looked back at Fluttershy and crawled over to the chest and rested besides her and leaned her head against her best friend.

"He'll be fine, trust me. A little tired or so, but he'll be fine."

"Well... I'm always worried about the woodland critters this time of year because of you know..." Fluttershy blushed a little and leaned close to her friend’s ear. "Mating Season..."

"Its normal for them ain't it?"

"Yes..." Fluttershy nodded. "But I get so worried about them when they aren't at home, I worry about the birds sometimes when they lay eggs sometimes, I think that a mean badger or squirrel will find them and steal the eggs..."

"You shouldn't worry too much, don't they just put a nest or whatever you call it in a tree where the squirrel can't climb?"

"But... squirrels are very good climbers..."

"Are they? Woopsie-daisy."

"Its okay Dashie, sorry for making you worry about the animals... I'm just trying to get the toys out of the chest."

"Nah, don't lay it on yourself. You should be concentratin' on lookin' after your babies for now, animals later."

"Yes, you're right..."

"Now c'mon, lets play with some toys."

To be continued...

Chapter Twenty-Two

"Right... here are the toys..."

Fluttershy placed out a large amount of toys for both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo to choose from. A mixture of stuffed animals, teddy bears and even plastic little toys that a toddler would have been all there for them to use in their next array of games. Scootaloo was the first one to make her move as she picked up the largest stuffed animal, modelled after a large brown grizzly bear. Though made to look childish and silly, Scootaloo couldn't help but feel rather intimidated by the fact that she was holding a bear in her arms. It was silly to think about, but that made it even more fun.

Rainbow Dash on the other hand stuck with Fluttershy, her mommy held up two little figurines of toy soldiers and placed them down and what seemed to be a play-set made for boys. The design of the small set was a little plastic castle, meant to represent the Royal Castle in the middle of Canterbury. Fluttershy placed a toy soldier on top of a small balcony, for a fact knowing that's where one of the Princesses would stand watching over the kingdom.

"This is where the big strong soldier stands Rainbow Dash, can you see right there?" Fluttershy placed one of the figurines on top of the balcony, the pointed with her finger to help her friend know where she had placed it.

"Yeah." Rainbow nodded, she took a good look at the soldier placed on top of the balcony and also pointed at it. "Right there?"

"Yes, good girl, the guard is standing on the... the..." Fluttershy stopped, she smiled and winked politely asking for the next word.

"Balcony?" Rainbow finished off.

"Yeah! Good girl Dashie, you're so smart!"

"Yep, I'm a smart girl!" Rainbow nodded, feeling pretty happy.

"Do you know who lives inside of the big castle Dashie?" Fluttershy continued on with her infantile games and rubbed Rainbow's back as she played her game.

"The Princess?"

"Yes Dashie, but which Princesses?"

"Um.... uh..." Rainbow pretended to struggle, she placed her hand on her forehead to show how much she tried to think of their names.

"Princess Cel-... Celes..."

"Celestia!" Rainbow pointed out.

"Well done Dashie!" Fluttershy gasped, she gave her baby a quick hug and then pointed back at the castle.

"And what about Princess L-... Lu-..."

"Luna!"

"You're such a smart little baby!" Fluttershy giggled, she gave another hug to Rainbow Dash and tightened her grip on her.

"I am mommy! I am!" Rainbow laughed.

"Ooh, Dashie. I have an idea..."

"Yes mommy?" Rainbow raised an eyebrow at her friend.

"Let’s play with Scootaloo, I wonder what she is up to." Fluttershy turned to Scootaloo and moved herself around the pile of toys until she was right behind the overgrown baby, she picked the child up and rested her down onto her lap and wrapped her arms around her while the teddy bear was still being hugged. Rainbow quickly joined in on the action and crawled her way over to her friends and sat next to the pile of toys, she picked up a bunch of small building blocks and positioned them over to her side and knew exactly what she wanted to do with them.

"Hello Scootaloo, how is my little baby doing?"

She pulled her pacifier out of her mouth with a loud pop.

"I'm fine mommy, do you wanna hug the bear?"

"I'd love to hug the bear Scootaloo." Fluttershy nodded, she leaned forward a little and stretched her arms over and under and teddy bear and pressed it against Scootaloo. The child giggled as the bear rubbed against her face as it was squeezed by Fluttershy.

"Tee-hee, this is so funny!" Scootaloo giggled, she pushed away the bear and turned round to look at her mother. "Hey mommy, are you going to play with Rainbow Dash? I know I am! She's making a block tower, look!" Scootaloo pointed over to the other side of the toy pile and took a good look at the giant block pile that Rainbow Dash was making. She felt compelled to crawl over and crash into it, just the idea of seeing all of those blocks falling down and making noise would be absolutely fun.

"Go on Scootaloo, go play with Rainbow Dash." Fluttershy unravelled her arms and watched the scene about to unfold, the child quickly crawled over to her friend and playfully eyed up the tower of blocks before her. Fluttershy knew what Scootaloo was thinking, she kept her distance between the two and wanted to see how this situation could unwrap itself.

"Hey Scoots, wanna help me build a tower with the blocks?" Rainbow stopped her building for a moment and saw Scootaloo sitting beside the block tower, the child looked at her and then back at the tower and nodded her head. "Sweet, now get me th- AH..."

But before anything could happen, Scootaloo quickly pushed one of the blocks at the bottom of the tower causing the top to slowly wobble and fall apart, some of the blocks landed on Rainbow and most of them landed on Scootaloo. Rainbow crawled away from the destruction of her tower and looked at the mess that Scootaloo made, the child just burst into a fit of laughter and Rainbow soon joined in. They pushed the blocks out of the way and crawled over to each other.

"You sure got me there didn't ya' Scoots?" Rainbow chuckled, she drilled her fingers into Scootaloo's hair and ruffled it up again.

"Again! Again!"

"Again? You sure you want another block tower? Or are ya' gonna just knock it down again?"

"I want a tower to knock down!"

"I'll make one as long as you help me, grab all the blocks you can find and let’s get busy."

Scootaloo nodded, she looked round and behind her to scan the area for any blocks that fell from the top of the tower. Luckily, she found three blocks that Rainbow didn't pick up and she handed them to her best friend.

"Right you two, it’s nearly seven o' clock. My, doesn't time sure fly when you’re having fun." Fluttershy sighed, she looked up at the clock and moved over to her little babies and sat in-between them.

"Seven?" Rainbow turned her head, looking rather worried.

"Yes, it’s nearly seven o' clock."

"Man, time sure passes pretty quickly when you're having fun." Rainbow reached into the air and stretched her arms, letting out a small yawn as she put her hand on her mouth quickly.

"I'm guessing you two are hungry? Because... uh, I can make some snacks if you two want... I can make some sandwiches if you'd like some?"

Rainbow and Scootaloo thought for a moment and looked at each other for a second.

"Mommy... can I have a sandwich please?" Scootaloo smiled.

"Sure you can, what would you like on your sandwich?"

"Cheese!"

"Anything else Scootaloo?"

"Yeah! More cheese!"

Fluttershy giggled.

"And what about you Dashie?"

"Just another drink, y’know, from a sippy cup."

"Okay, you two stay in the nursery and play with your toys while I make some delicious food."

"Okay Mommy!" Scootaloo waved.

Fluttershy put down the plate on the worktop and proceeded to place the slices of bread on top of each other, the sandwich was complete. With thin slices of basic cheddar and a nice little chunk of cheese on the side of the plate. It looked delicious, she had outdone herself in the art of sandwich making. Now she picked up the plate with the food on and placed it down onto the nearest food tray where she had even more food for her little babies.

Specifically picking out small treats and delectables for her two sweet children to eat, on the other side of the tray was a basic white bowl filled to the top with large white puffy marshmallows and a baby bottle filled with milk and a sippy cup sitting alone filled with concentrated orange juice. This would fill them up a little, Fluttershy thought.

But before anything could be done with the treats, there was a knocking on the door. It wasn't too loud nor to quiet in the midst of the storm outside, Fluttershy heard the door and walked out of the kitchen to make it to the door. She got over to the door and slowly adjusted her grip on the doorknob and started to turn it.

As the door opened a gust of cold air and rain started to pour into the warm cottage, but standing outside was a woman wrapped in a bright yellow raincoat wearing familiar glasses, Fluttershy couldn't help but gasp at who it was.

"M-Mayor?"

"Hello Fluttershy, may I come in?" The Mayor gave a small wave and walked into the cottage for the safety against the rain outside.

"Uh... W-What are y-you doing here?" Not again, something bad was going to happen. Memories of the meeting in the town hall were flooding back in and they were scaring her to no end. Fluttershy quickly closed the door and started to desperately breathe in and out.

"I'm just here to stop by and talk to you. I know we had a little bit of a kerfuffle at the town hall earlier, but since you are home I figured that you would feel more comfortable in the safety and comfort of your own home."

"Oh..." Fluttershy blushed.

"Dear, don't worry. I'm not here to arrest you or anything, please keep that in mind." The Mayor walked over to the coat hanger by the door and unzipped her yellow raincoat to reveal her office attire. She placed the dripping wet coat onto the hanger and turned to look at an awfully scared Fluttershy.

"I c-can't really t-talk... I mean... well... I was going to... well..."

"Are you looking after Rainbow Dash?"

"N-No... I wasn't... I was just making s-some food an- Yes..." Fluttershy gave up, the act was diminished. Now she thought she was in trouble.

"You don't have to hide secrets dear, I was only asking. Besides, I need to talk to Rainbow Dash also about her little tirade last night walking around town drunk." The Mayor placed an arm on Fluttershy's shoulder and tapped it lightly.

"Oh... okay. I was j-just going to give Dashie and S-Scootaloo s-some food..."

"Scootaloo's here?" The Mayor raised an eyebrow.

"Uh-huh." Fluttershy nodded.

"Is it okay if I go upstairs and see them? It wouldn't hurt to see where you’re looking after them, right?"

"Sure thing..."

"When you come upstairs we can all talk about the adoption papers, I don't have them with me but I'd like to continue on with what I talked about earlier. I won't go on for too long since its getting pretty dark outside and the storm is getting worse."

"You can't do that Scoots!"

"Yes I can!"

"You can't!"

"Can!"

"Can't!"

"Can!"

"Cheater!"

"Cry-baby!"

"Bed wetter!"

"Beer drinker!"

"Midget!"

"Uh..."

"What? Can't you think of anymore insults?"

"Um... I can't..."

"Yes!" Rainbow cheered. "I win! Ha-ha!"

"Aww... can't we play that game again? I gotta think of new ones..."

"Nope Scoots, I win, let’s do something else."

"But what can we do?"

"Hrmm..." She put her fingers on her lips and crossed her legs.

"We've got a pile of toys next to us Scoots, we could make another block tower."

"Nah, I wanna do somethin' different."

"Like what?"

Scootaloo turned over and looked at the plushies inside of the baby crib, a smile drew itself over her face and she pointed at what she was looking at.

"We could lie down in the crib, and then we get the blanket on put it on top and make it look like were in a tent!"

"Pretending to camp out? I remember when I used to camp with my friends when I was little."

"You mean you'd go into the forest and sleep in a tent?"

"Yeah, 'cept we'd talk about scary stuff or some of the boys we had crushes on."

"You had crushes on boys? EW!" Scootaloo giggled.

"What? All girls do." Rainbow crossed her arms and frowned.

"Who did you have a crush on Rainbow Dash?"

"Can't tell."

"Why not?"

"It’s a secret." Rainbow stuck her tongue out of her mouth.

"But you said that you told your friends when you were little."

"Well... not exactly, I was a teenager when I was into that kinda stuff."

"Tell me!" Scootaloo whined, she got up on her feet and moved closer to Rainbow Dash.

"Can't do that Scoots."

"What if I tell you my secret crush and you tell me yours?"

Rainbow's eyes quickly widened, she chuckled a little and nodded her head.

"Ain't you too young to have a crush?"

Scootaloo blushed and looked away from her friend and messed with her fingers.

"Okay, okay. Tell me and then I'll tell you mine."

"Uh... I have a crush on..."

"Is it Rumble?" Rainbow interrupted.

"Wait- no! It’s..."

"Pipsqueak?"

"No!"

"Who is it then?"

"Spike!" Scootaloo shouted, she crossed her arms and quickly looked away waiting for the barrage of laughter.

Rainbow also paused for a moment and thought about what Scootaloo said, she obviously looked a little upset now that she had told her secret to her and she looked pretty shy. Rainbow leaned forward and tapped Scootaloo on the shoulder which made her turn round.

"Twilight's little brother?"

"Yeah... what's wrong with that?"

"Nothin' but since ya' told me, I had the hots for Soarin when I was a kid."

"Soarin? The singer from the Wonderbolts?"

"Yeah. Me and Spitfire, y'know Spitfire right? The one who plays guitar for the band, we went to school together."

"Really?" Scootaloo's eyes were now wide open, she couldn't believe what her idol was saying.

"Yeah, Me and Spitfire used to fight over who liked Soarin the most. It was pretty stupid but Spitfire got him in the end 'cause they're always in that band together." Rainbow explained.

"That's... friggin' awesome!"

"Hey, no bad words."

"Sorry..."

"Besides, your crush on Spike is more interestin' what makes you fall for someone like him?"

"Oh... Uh... I just... find him... really cute..." Scootaloo blushed.

"Cute 'eh?"

"Yep."

"He's like a little bookworm, just like his sister."

"Really? Do you think he could help me read books?"

"I dunno, why don't you go and ask him?"

"I'm too scared... what if he doesn't want to help me 'cause I'm a girl?"

"Scoots... why wouldn't he want to help you? You're a pretty girl, he'd trip over his own feet lookin' at you!"

"I dunno... I just kinda get scared when I'm around him..."

"Nah, you'll do great when you’re older. He'll fall for your looks pretty quickly if you keep on hammerin' on the signs."

"Signs?"

"When you're older Scoots."

"How old?"

"Fourteen... maybe older..."

Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo started to laugh, Rainbow wrapped her arms round the child and mussed her purple hair while Scootaloo dug her head into Rainbow's chest. They both kicked some of the toys out of the way and started to hug each other.

They both heard the nursery door open, both of them knew it would be Fluttershy that would enter and give them their food. But as the door stopped they heard nothing, Rainbow turned round to see someone familiar standing at the doorway with her arms closed.

"Mayor?!" Rainbow shouted out, she flew backwards slightly and landed on her padded backside as the Mayor chuckled. She closed the door and stood before both of them and smiled.

"Hello you two, having fun I see."

Rainbow's didn't move an inch, something wasn't right. Where was Fluttershy? And the food she had promised?

"Yeah... we're having fun..." Rainbow mumbled.

"Mind if I sit down beside you, that is, if you allow me to sit next to some of your toys. I'm not going to steal them, I promise Dashie." The Mayor giggled, but Rainbow Dash wasn't amused. More so confused to why the Mayor was here, she wasn't supposed to be here.

"Sit down Miss Mayor! There is loads of toys to play with!" Scootaloo stood up and waved the Mayor to come over.

"Oh my Scootaloo, you look so adorable!" The Mayor took a good look at the child before her, the onesie and the pacifier hanging round her neck were just absolutely adorable.

"Aww, thank you!" Scootaloo nodded.

"What'cha doin' here anyways Mayor? The storm too tough to handle?" Rainbow asked.

"No its not that dear, I've come all the way from Town Hall to talk to you and Fluttershy about the adoption."

Rainbow raised an eyebrow, she leaned forward and got up on her feet and walked up to the Mayor.

"I thought the meeting was cancelled until sometime else or something like that."

"Well, you see. There has been complications to this whole adoption plan and I wanted to share them with you."

"Complications?"

"Yes, I want to speak. But I suggest that we have to wait until Fluttershy is here."

"Okay. We can wait, can't we Scoots?" Rainbow turned to look at the child, she saw Scootaloo sitting down on the changing table with her pacifier stuffed in her mouth.

"Is this what you both do together and Fluttershy looks after you?" The Mayor chuckled, seeing Scootaloo with a pacifier in her mouth was too cute for her.

"Yeah, why?" Rainbow continued.

"Nothing, as I have said before: I have no problem with Infantilist's whatsoever. I find what you’re doing absolutely adorable. You all look like a little cute family when your all together."

"Hey Mayor!" Scootaloo pulled her pacifier out of her mouth and waved over to the Mayor.

"Yes Scootaloo?"

"Is it true that I'm gonna be adopted?"

To be continued...

Chapter Twenty-Three

"Well darling, that's why I'm here. I am going to talk about your adoption Scootaloo." The Mayor explained; she walked over to the nursery changing table curiously eying up the strange scenery. Never before had she seen anything like this, it was an infants paradise. She stood in front of Scootaloo and patted her on the shoulder.

"You mean your gonna talk to Rainbow Dash and my Mommy about politics?" Scootaloo asked.

"No silly." The Mayor chuckled for a moment. "I just want to talk to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy about the adoption they have in mind for you. If you want to if you would like, you can listen to us talk."

"Boy! Would I!" Scootaloo cheered.

Rainbow Dash and The Mayor both chuckled for a moment until they heard of the sound of the door creaking behind them. They both turned to see that Fluttershy was slowly poking her head through the nursery door to see if everyone was inside; a bright red blush accompanied her as she pushed through with the tray filled with food and drinks.

"I uh... k-kinda t-took a little b-bit longer because I m-made a c-cup of tea f-for you M-Mayor..." Fluttershy tried to smile, but it hurt her so much seeing a happy Scootaloo right in front of her. Rainbow Dash had her arms crossed curiously looking at the Mayor, something was about to go down.

"Ah, thank you Fluttershy." The Mayor smiled and grabbed the cup from the food tray and lifted it up for herself.

"Dibs on the bottle with milk!" Scootaloo rushed over and reached out for the milk bottle and grabbed it from the tray, never forgetting to smile to her mommy as she put down the tray on the changing tables flat surface.

"Yeah, I'll just sit back for a moment." Rainbow mumbled as she leaned against the wooden guard on the crib, with her arms still crossed and on high alert she was ready for what was going to happen.

"Now..." The Mayor started. "I wanted to come over here to talk to you about the adoption because interesting developments have arised."

"D-Developments?" Fluttershy repeated.

"Yes, developments." The Mayor nodded. "After you two left the meeting earlier today I decided to pause all of my work on the town for a moment to focus on the adoption, there hasn't been an adoption in Rumsville for a very long time with the exception of Lyra and Bon-Bon's child whom was brought over from Canterbury."

"Ain't that kinda dangerous just leaving your work to make one other thing happen?" Rainbow asked.

"Well no Rainbow Dash, I put them on hold. There isn't a thing to worry, but as I was saying: I went to the Town Hall Ministers and presented the case of your adoption. I recently found out that Scootaloo here was the icon of debate when it came to adoption."

"Woah, woah, woah... What do you mean 'debate'?" Rainbow paused everything; she took a step forward and moved close to the Mayor.

"Scootaloo is the only child in Rumsville that hasn't been adopted in years Rainbow Dash, since of the lack of recent adoptions for the children of this town there have been actual debate between the Ministers whether to put Scootaloo into a children’s home and put the case to rest."

"Scoots ain't going to a orphanage!" Rainbow wrapped her arm around Scootaloo with the bottle still in the child mouth, unable to understand what was really going on.

"That's what I said, I presented the information about Fluttershy wanting to adopt Scootaloo and they said that this would be an opportunity since they... well... were pretty close to moving Scootaloo to a children’s home in Manhattan..." The Mayor looked down at her drink and took another sip.

"So... uh, I c-can adopt her?" Fluttershy joined in on the conversation.

"The Ministers know who you are Fluttershy, they know about all the good work that you do around town and they think you'll be a great parent. They well... want you and Rainbow Dash to come back in to the Town Hall again tomorrow to clarify the adoption papers. So basically, yes."

Scootaloo quickly pulled the bottle out of her mouth and spat the remaining milk onto the floor, Rainbow quickly shifted out of the way to avoid the incoming milk.

"WHAT?!" Scootaloo squeaked; her voice started to break as she screamed. "I CAN BE ADOPTED?!" She looked at Fluttershy and jumped for her with arms open ready for a hug. Fluttershy picked up Scootaloo and wrapped her warm arms around the child and began to tear up.

The Mayor took another sip of her warm tea and smiled; she looked over at Rainbow Dash and gestured towards the door. Rainbow followed and left the nursery along with the Mayor closing the door behind them as the sounds of Fluttershy's crying started to get louder.

"You actually mean it? No foolin' around anymore?" Rainbow whispered to the Mayor with her arms still crossed.

"Yes, Scootaloo will belong to Fluttershy once she signs the papers... By the way, may I ask you something?" The Mayor smiled.

"What?"

The Mayors smile dropped a little, she placed her hand on Rainbow's shoulder and tapped it lightly.

"If you ever decide to get drunk again... make sure you wear your underwear next time, I could see that diaper of yours sticking out from two streets away."

Rainbow Dash blushed a bright red.

"How did you-"

"You passed by my window waving your arms about when Cheerilee tried to pull you away, Lyra was there too if I remember correctly. Was it another night of Strip Poker at the Sugarcube Corner?"

"Y-Yeah..."

"How far did you get?"

"Can't remember... Cheerilee told me she'd have to go nude if she lost another set."

"Three hours in by the sounds of it."

"I thought you didn't like poker." Rainbow asked the Mayor.

"I don't, I think it’s amusing when people go to the extreme when it comes to placing bets on a silly card game."

"You should join us sometime." Rainbow winked.

"I would, but you know how news leaks out and about town theses days. And if the Ministers in Canterbury found out then I'd be in serious trouble."

"True."

"Now, I don't want to sound mean but I must leave. I need to get home and feed my cats."

"But what about Fluttershy and Scoots?" Rainbow looked back at the nursery door, still able to hear the sobs of joy coming from Fluttershy.

"You're their friend. You know... do what you do..."

"Get drunk and make a mess of everything?" Rainbow joked.

"That. And be a good friend." The Mayor smiled.

"Sure..." The Mayor saw something in Rainbow's eye, the sound of sobbing and weeping could still be heard from the nursery but there was something different. Rainbow looked happy, her lips quivered a little and her sly smile soon dropped. The Mayor knew exactly what to do; she moved up to Rainbow Dash and wrapped her arms around her body.

"Everything will be fine Rainbow Dash." The Mayor leaned her head close to her friend’s ear and whispered.

"I didn't think I'd get upset..." Rainbow whispered back, tears slowly emerged from her eyes but she wasn't sobbing. The skin around her eyes turned red as she pulled away from the Mayor to wipe the tears from her face.

"Now, now Rainbow Dash. It’s okay to cry, you are a big baby after all." The Mayor placed her hands on Rainbows back and began to rub them up and down to calm her down; this only caused her to sniffle loudly.

"I'm jus' happy for Fluttershy..."

"You should head back to the nursery now; I'll leave and close the door behind me. I also bet this didn't turn out to what you expected, huh? You have a close family and you have even closer bonds with your friends now. So go back in that nursery and make history Dashier."

The nursery door opened once more to hear its quiet creaking, the sobbing and noise had died down now that the Mayor left the cottage. Rainbow Dash peeked her head through the door to take a good look at her friends sitting down on the floor tightly clenched together. Fluttershy and Scootaloo had their arms tightly wrapped around each other, their eyes both shined in the storm as the lightning outside entered through the cracks in the curtains.

"You two fine now?" Rainbow looked tired, Fluttershy could see it. From a bundle of energy she now looked like tired and worn out, her eyes were red and the shimmer of tears looked like they had fell down her face. Scootaloo was the same, but she was asleep. Her crying for her mother had tired her out stone cold, lying idly in the warm loving arms of her new mother ensured that she would be safe.

Fluttershy didn't respond, she only nodded and looked back down at Scootaloo. She dug her fingers into the sleeping Childs short purple hair and began to wave through her hair to keep her quiet and calm.

"I'm s-sorry Dashier... Me and Scootaloo... y-you know..." Fluttershy was still upset, Rainbow knew it. Even though the happiest of moments came by the mood was still rotten, Fluttershy had a small smile on her face only because she knew that the child of her dreams was able to become hers in just a day. But she still had a job to do.

"It’s okay." Rainbows voice was quiet and weak; she continued to sniffle as she got closer to her best friend sitting beside the sleeping child. She leaned down onto her knees and rested her hands on her lap for a moment, feeling her diaper protrude outwards as she sat in this uncomfortable position. "I haven't felt like this in ages..." Rainbow placed her hands on her eyes and rubbed her eyes, the remaining tears started to make their way out and descend.

"A-Are you upset? I'm s-sorry..." Fluttershy apologized once again; Rainbow finished rubbing her eyes again and looked back at Fluttershy to see that she was looking right at her with concern.

"You don't have to be sorry Fluttershy, I'm just really happy for you."

"But I am... all this trouble and it feels like I made things worse... I made you upset..."

"Fluttershy, you don't understand. I'm happy for you adopting Scoots, you should be really happy too."

"Oh Dashier..." Fluttershy blushed; she looked down at the ground trying to break away eye contact. She felt so embarrassed that she had done this.

"C'mon, you're allowed to adopt Scootaloo. Think about it, you have your own daughter. Shouldn't you be proud, don't think of the bad stuff. Just think at the good stuff, an' for petes sake you should try your best to stop worrying and look whats infront'a ya'."

"I'm sorry Dashie... its just that I've been worrying so much... I can't help but think of so much... I didn't want to make Scootaloo unhappy and I... wanted my little babies to feel safe... I don't know what I would do without you two..." Fluttershy was the one now, she was tearing up. Her small sobs were just the start; Rainbow quickly shuffled over to her best friend and wrapped an arm round her to comfort her.

"Hey, hey, hey. We're all in this together ain't we? I'm not gonna ignore you. I gotta help you and Scoots become family, right?" Rainbow whispered.

"Y-Yes..."

"And hey... when our friends find out... they'll help us out too."

"You r-really think so?"

"Yeah sure." Rainbow smiled a little. "Rarity could make some good lookin' clothes, Twilight and Cheerilee could make her book smart. And she has her little friends to play with."

The ideas were final; the images of Scootaloo dressed in a lovely summer dress with a pink nice bow in her hair along with her sitting down reading a book were something out of a fairytale. But they knew they could be possible with the right help and teamwork.

"T-That sounds lovely..." Fluttershy stopped her sobs and started to smile a little.

"See, your smilin' thats cool. Now, how 'bout we finish off the food and put Scootaloo in her crib? We can chillax in your room, y'know watch the TV." Rainbow stood up on her legs and stretched her arms outwards until a moan escaped her mouth. She continued to lightly smile as Fluttershy wrapped her arms around Scootaloo in the correct positions to pick her up like an infant.

It was like Scootaloo was awake, she, even in her sleep latched onto Fluttershy as she was being picked up. Fluttershy grabbed the pacifier hanging round her neck and put it into her mouth, the child quickly suckled on it as soon as it was placed inwards.

Fluttershy slowly walked over to the crib with Rainbow Dash standing by; as she got to the wooden guard she slightly leaned over and safely lowered the sleeping child into the crib without a problem. With Scootaloo asleep, Rainbow did the honour of placing the blanket over her body to keep her warm.

Rainbow and Fluttershy looked at each other and smiled.

"I'll grab the food and we'll chill, right?"

"Yes Dashie."

Fifthteen Minutes Later...

The bedroom was dark, the bright colours of the TV were now flashing everywhere. All of the curtains and windows were still the same, closed and locked so that no bad could come through. The occasional burst of lightning managed to sneak through which frightened poor Fluttershy to no end. Both were lying down on the bed delicately wrapped up in the thick yellow blanket together. Rainbow Dash was tucked in, her mouth was stuffed up with the nipple of a baby bottle as she hungrily sipped down every last drop of the milk.

Fluttershy took small nibbles mouse sized nibbles out of the marshmallows and slowly swallowed the remains once it has been bitten down to size. She happily stared at the TV watching her favourite programs with her best friend lying besides her.

Rainbow plucked the nipple out of her mouth and licked her lips, she placed the bottle beside her and turned round to snuggle up with Fluttershy as a small smile emerged on her face.

"You alright Fluttershy?" Rainbow whispered as she placed her arm on Fluttershy's stomach.

"I'm alright now Dashie, thanks to you."

"Good. We might need to get some rest for tomorrow, heh, but I guess mommy here would make sure I'm happy as a little bunny before I fall asleep." Rainbows voice changed to that childish tone of voice that Fluttershy had heard earlier, this made her giggle a little.

"Don't worry baby, I'll make sure your happy." Fluttershy smiled.

"How'dya plan on doin' that?" Rainbow giggled.

"By cuddling you!" Fluttershy squeezed her grip on Rainbow Dash and snuggled up with her.

"Gee, thanks mommy."

"Uh... Dashie... can I ask you something? Its just that it's really, really important..."

"Yeah."

To be continued...

Chapter Twenty-Four

The Next Morning

The light shined through the cracks in the thick yellow curtains, everything was dark on the inside. Only the sound of electricity buzzing and surging through the refrigerator keeping it nice and cool was the only thing that kept the kitchen lively. But the noises and sounds of a spoon colliding and smashing against a bowl soon followed.

Rainbow Dash was sitting down in the middle of the kitchen, enjoying a bowl filled to the top with a healthy cereal along with a nice cup of tea encased in a large baby bottle.

All the lights downstairs were turned off and the sound of the TV echoed in the back. Her attire still remained the same, a cyan tank top, running shorts, a pacifier hanging round her neck via a pendant that she obtained and a thick adult sized diaper for her wearing pleasures.

Her attention was focused only on two things for now, her delicious bowl of cereal filled to the top with coco pops and her bottle full of tea. She was hungry, really hungry. After the events of last night, she needed to cool off. And relaxing in this form was better than anything she had ever felt.

She paused for a moment and wiped her mouth with just her arm, leaving small crusts of milk and cereal scattered on her arm. She swallowed what was left in her mouth and reached out for her baby bottle filled with warm sweet tea and picked it up. She aimed the rubber nipple towards her mouth and slowly pushed it inward and started to purse her lips round and sucked some of the liquid out of the bottle.

As she was doing that, Rainbow Dash could hear the sound of footsteps making their way towards the kitchen. She plucked the bottle out of her mouth and licked her lips, trying her best to get in the most of the sweet tea. After lightly placing the bottle back down onto the kitchen table she turned her attention to who was coming through the archway.

Not much to her surprise was a very tired looking Fluttershy wearing her usual yellow night-gown making her way through the archway, her tired look gave Rainbow the assumption of what happened last night had taken it all out of her. She wasn't exactly sure, but she had to find out.

Fluttershy slowly lifted up her pale thin arms only to rub her eyes and yawn quietly. Her eyes opened back up to see Rainbow Dash sitting down on the kitchen table with some food ready at her disposal. She walked over and grabbed a chair and pulled it outwards and slowly sat down.

Rainbow could hear the crinkling sound that Fluttershy made as she lowered herself to sit down on the chair; this brought a smirk that even Rainbow couldn't ignore. Fluttershy could only blush as the crinkling noise stopped as she froze her body.

"Well, looks like the baby is awake." Rainbow was the first to speak, she picked her spoon back up and shoved some coco pops into her mouth and started to chew.

Fluttershy sank into her chair a little, hearing these words coming out of Rainbow's mouth was enough to make her blush even harder than she did before.

"G-Good Morning Dashie..." Fluttershy raised her arm and gave a little wave across the table to her friend.

"Morning Fl-shy." Rainbow spoke just as she inserted another round of cereal into her mouth, causing her speech to sound muffled.

"Uh... I see you have breakfast... I w-was uh, g-going to make some for you... b-but it turns out t-that you made some y-yourself..." Fluttershy lowered her hand back onto the table and looked downwards, unable to make contact with her best friend feeling ashamed. She spoke as she stared at the table’s shiny wooden surface.

"No thanks Fluttershy." She gulped down the cereal in her mouth. "I can make cereal on my own." Rainbow winked.

"Oh... okay..." Fluttershy squeaked, her voice whimpered under the sound of the spoon going into the bowl again. Rainbow looked up to see her best friend looking not so happy again.

"Is it because of last night? I told you, I'm fine with it." Rainbow had swallowed up the remains of her cereal and now moved over to pick up her baby bottle to drink her warm tea.

Rainbow Dash quickly got back to her food and inserted the baby bottle into her mouth and started to suck out the tea once again.

"B-But..." Fluttershy quickly leaned her head back up and reveal that tears were building up around her eyes and her bottom lip started to quiver.

"I don't wanna hear it Fluttershy..." Rainbow plucked the bottle out. "I said its fine, perfectly normal... or whatever I said last night."

"I just didn't want to make you and Scootaloo feel left out... S-So I..." Fluttershy wiped her tears with a table cloth and whimpered as she spoke. Almost sounding like an upset child.

"Yeah..." Rainbow nodded. "I got it Fluttershy; you don't have to worry about the littlest things. Wearing one of my diapers to make me and Scoots feel better isn't bad. I don't know why you're making a big deal outta this."

"I j-just wanted to make you both comfortable when y-you were..." Fluttershy began to speak again, but was quickly cut off.

"Again, I get it. You wore one of my adult diapers secretly, big deal. You're still awesome for wearing them last night, and I can hear your diaper still crinkling now." Rainbow pointed at Fluttershy and smirked again. Fluttershy on the other hand turned round and looked down to hear the slightest crinkling as of now.

"Oh my..." Fluttershy gasped, she placed her hands down below her waist, secretly trying to hold down the diaper to make it stop constantly crinkling.

"Plus, you look cute in them. Heck, you shouldn't be sorry. You tried somethin' new and it made you look awesome. We should totally switch round." Rainbow leaned back in her chair and shoved the bottle back into her mouth.

"Sw-Switch?" Fluttershy turned back round and looked at Rainbow holding her bottle.

"Yeah sure, I could be the mommy and you and Scoots could be the babies. How 'bout that?" Rainbow smiled.

"B-But it wouldn't be right... would it? I mean... you'd need to know how to take care of us and you... you...." Fluttershy panicked, the idea of switching roles obviously scared her and it caused her blush red around the cheeks again.

"Relax; I'm sure you just have to make sure you don't cry, right? Check your diaper, feed you and just mess around with some toys. Heck, forget toys. How about some video games?" Rainbow smiled again, she leaned back forward and plucked her bottle out of her mouth and looked at the container to see that no tea was inside of it anymore. Without much thought she put it back on the table and stood up.

"I- I- Uh... Don't know..." Fluttershy whimpered.

"C'mon, you can't always be the mommy Fluttershy, sometimes even the mommy and daddies need time to relax. So swappin' places would be awesome for both of us." Rainbow slowly made her way round the table, causing Fluttershy to slightly cower as Rainbow Dash got closer. But she leaned down and wrapped an arm round her neck and sat down on Fluttershy's lap.

"B-But what about S-Scootaloo?" Fluttershy squeaked; the added weight from Rainbow Dash caused her to lose some air.

"Hrm..." Rainbow hummed for a moment, she clicked her fingers for a moment. "Aha, she could be the big sister."

"B-But... I'm older..." Fluttershy added rather childishly.

"Think about it, a seven year old baby looking after a twenty-three year old baby. It sounds awesome." Rainbow burst into laughter at just the thought of Scootaloo looking her mom is such a way. She couldn't imagine how it would all be set out, but just the idea of Fluttershy dressed in diapers and onesies made her laugh harder.

"Uh-huh..." Fluttershy nervously nodded.

"Hey, lets all stop this stuff for now. It's seven in the morning. Scoots has got to go to school at nine, right?" Rainbow sighed and wrapped her other arm around Fluttershy to commence in a hug.

"Sh-Should I wake her up now?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah, I'll let you go get her. I'm sure she's been having loads of dreams about all the things that she wants to do with you- Oh, scratch that. I'll go get her. You make some good breakfast for the both of you and I'll wake her up." Rainbow unravelled her arms and jumped off Fluttershy's lap and headed over to the archway. Slightly leaning her arms against the wall waiting for Fluttershy's response.

"Yes, you can go get Scootaloo out of her crib... but uh... please be careful with my little baby..."

Scootaloo was still asleep; her body was wrapped round in a thick baby blue blanket lay over the crib to prevent her from being touched by the nasty cold outside. The nursery lights were still dimmed from last night and the sunlight started to shine through the windows at the right angle.

Wrapped around her arms was a big light brown teddy bear with a small bowtie attached to his neck. The bear was also wrapped round in the thick blanket to keep him warm.

The nursery door slowly opened, making a creaking noise as it opened. Rainbow Dash poked her head through the door to get a blast of sunlight beaming straight into her eyes; she immediately looked away and raised her hand up to her face to blot out the sunlight.

Rainbow slowly walked into the nursery to take a good look at what she could see without the bright lights of the sun intruding her vision every few seconds. She saw the child sleeping in the crib and knew exactly what to do, even if the sun was protruding into her vision she couldn't care less.

Rainbow leaned over the crib to see Scootaloo still sleeping peacefully wrapped in the baby blue blanket, the teddy bear was still wrapped around her arms and her pacifier was hanging out of her open mouth. A small trail of drool followed onto the pillow where the pacifier had fallen. Rainbow couldn't help but smile at this.

"Scootaloo... it's time to wake up, you gotta go to school today." She leaned down even further to get a closer look at Scootaloo and used her free hand to tap the child on her visible shoulder, but as she tried to wake the child up, she squirmed around as if something was bothering her.

"Wake up Scoots; you don't wanna make your mommy mad." Rainbow Dash continued to wake up the child; her attempts were starting to get to the child. It took a few more seconds but Scootaloo slowly opened her eyes and gave out a big yawn.

Scootaloo felt good, her whole body felt incredibly soft. The first thing she saw as she opened her eyes was the face of a big brown teddy bear. Her arms were strangely wrapped around the bear and it was close to her chest, she obviously felt something wet and warm between her legs. But this felt normal.

"You awake Scoots? Yer' mommy is making some breakfast."

Scootaloo turned herself round, somewhat unable to fully turn herself round because of the thickness of the blue blanket. But as she looked up in between the wooden bars of the crib, she saw Rainbow Dash leaning over with her pink pacifier hanging round her neck on some sort of pendant.

"Hello Rainbow Dash..." Scootaloo gave a weak smile and unravelled her arms and rested them on the top of the blanket.

"Hello Scoots, how ya' feeling?" Rainbow gave a smile back and leaned back up to find the switch on the crib.

"Fine... Just really tired..."

"Yeah, you're fine." Rainbow chuckled. She took a small step away from the crib and twisted the crib guard switch to lower the wooden bars; slowly they fell down into place which caused some of the toys inside to fall out onto the carpet.

"Rainbow Dash..." With the crib guards now down, Scootaloo reached out for her best friend and stretched out her fingers.

"What's up?" Rainbow Dash got back up and walked up to the crib and sat down beside the child.

"I peed in the night again." Scootaloo leaned up and wrapped one arm round Rainbow's waist.

"Better than making a mess all over your crib, huh? Fluttershy should buy you one of those bed wetter charts." Rainbow returned the hug and patted Scootaloo on the back.

"Do you think you could change me?" Scootaloo asked.

"It's a school day today; you gotta go in your undies. We don't want you wearing diapers to school, now do we?" Rainbow proceeded to rest the child on her lap and continued to hug her.

"Tee-hee... No..." Scootaloo giggled. "It'd be really silly!"

Rainbow Dash paused for a moment and smiled for a moment at the child.

"I guess wearing one more diaper for a few hours before school wouldn't hurt, let's get you changed." Rainbow leaned forward and grabbed Scootaloo from under her arms and lifted her out of the blankets, she placed Scootaloo down on her lap and wrapped her arms round her and stood up to keep her balanced in her arms.

"Did you pee in your diaper too?" Scootaloo clinged onto Rainbow's chest and rested her head on her friends shoulder.

"Nah, not yet." Rainbow whispered as she started to make her way towards the changing table.

"Why? Are you afraid of peeing in your diaper?" Scootaloo giggled.

"No, I don't have to go yet." Rainbow smiled. "Besides I can change myself, but a little baby like you can't."

"You'd cry if mommy saw your dirty diapers!"

"Me? Getting upset? Nah... At least I don't get as upset as you when you break your scooter."

"Well you... you... uh... you don't... ever take a shower! Yeah!" Scootaloo playfully grinned; she giggled and then rested her head back on Rainbow's shoulder.

"Man, you suck at throwin' insults." Rainbow Dash chuckled.

"I'm better at being a baby..." Scootaloo whispered.

"Sure you are, if you're such a baby. Then I guess you wouldn't be able to date Spike, huh?"

Scootaloo's cheeks turned red amongst Rainbow's laughter.

"H-Hey!"

"Be cool Scoots, right. I'll change you and then you can go have breakfast with your new mommy."

"Yeah!"

"And... there we go..." Rainbow yelled in accomplishment, she rubbed her hands proud over what she had done to Scootaloo.

The child wiggled her legs from side to side to feel the new padding in between her legs, she soft diaper crinkled as it moved. Scootaloo couldn't help but smile at her own sight, she picked up her pacifier and placed it back into her mouth and started to suckle on it.

"I bet Fluttershy will hug you to death after seeing you in a new diaper, I'll tell her about your wetting, 'kay?"

"Yeah! And I can tell her I had an awesome dream!"

"What was the dream about?"

"Me, You and Mommy all sitting down on a beach having lots and lots of fun! I was wearing my swimmies and I was jumping into the sea! You and Mommy were sitting down on the sand having a picnic together."

Rainbow Dash laughed and looked back at Scootaloo with a smile, without saying anything she decided to pick up Scootaloo and wrapped her arms around the child to make sure she was secure.

"You're pretty funny, you can't swim Scootaloo."

"But I know that you and Mommy can teach me!"

"Yeah, sure. And I can fly really fast."

"Can you?"

"Pfft! No... Let's go downstairs."

Chapter Twenty-Five

As Rainbow Dash carried Scootaloo down the staircase she couldn't help but feel the childs little cold hands holding on tightly as she made her way down the steps. Scootaloo had her eyes closed, still tired from just waking up. Her onesie kept her warm at a reasonable temperature and the smell of porridge and orange juice filled the living room.

Rainbow took the final step down onto the carpet and took a good look around the living room, the curtains had been pulled open to let in the light and the TV was actually displaying something on the screen. Fluttershy was sitting down on the couch with a blue plastic tray resting on her lap side which had two basic white round plates.

Each plate had two slices of lightly done toast with a small dollop of butter; aside from the plates was two cups of warm tea both of them being in yellow cups with the image of pink butterflies in the middle of them. Fluttershy had currently taken one of the cups of tea and took a delightful sip, but her attention changed when she saw Rainbow Dash holding a very tired looking Scootaloo downstairs.

With a small smile and a squeal of joy. Fluttershy put down her cup of tea and put it on a spare space on the tray and waited for Rainbow Dash to make her way over.

She walked over to the couch with Scootaloo still gripping onto her shoulders tight as ever and lowered herself onto the couch to sit down. With Scootaloo in a new position she felt even more comfortable than before, she was able to rest against Rainbow Dash without having to feel her weight collapse on her as her fatigue got over itself.

"Good morning Scootaloo, how is my little girl doing?" Fluttershy leaned over keeping in mind that the tray was still on her lap, slightly whispering into the ears of her daughter and watching Scootaloo opening her eyes was always a delight. With a groggy yawn and the lick of her lips, it seemed that Scootaloo was starting to finally wake up.

"Hello mommy..." Scootaloo gave out a little smile at the sight of her mother sitting beside her, she stretched out an arm and reached out for Fluttershy's yellow night gown and grabbed onto her arm piece. Fluttershy lifted her hands to take hold of Scootaloo's.

"Did you have a good sleep? I hope it wasn't too cold for you inside the nursery; it can get a bit nippy in there sometimes. Did your onesie keep you warm?" Fluttershy leaned back and rested her back against one of the pillows on the couch; still keeping a firm grip on Scootaloo's hand she began to rotate her thumb round the child's palm in a circular motion.

"I'm fine mommy; I was really warm when I fell asleep..." Scootaloo stopped to yawn again, placing her other hand across her mouth. "The big fluffy blanket was really comfy, and then Rainbow Dash woke me up and changed my wet diaper."

"You wet your diaper? Do you need a changing; I can quickly do it if you want me to." Fluttershy leaned back up from her pillow and looked back and forth at both Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash looking rather worried.

"No it's okay mommy, Rainbow Dash changed me." Scootaloo smiled back as Fluttershy leaned back into her seat and sighed in relief.

"Oh okay, thank you Dashie." Fluttershy nodded and went back to her breakfast; she picked up her cup of tea and started to sip the liquid.

"No probs' Fluttershy, we still got this meeting again. I ain't lettin' up today, no excuses, 'n stuff." Rainbow Dash smirked as she patted Scootaloo on her back, the child dug her head back into Rainbow's chest and wrapped her arms around her.

"You're gonna make sure the Mayor is making me stay away from those stupid foster parents again aren't you!" Scootaloo cheered, she threw one arm up into the air, barely missing Rainbow's head as it went up in the air.

"Yeah, I'm gonna make sure Fluttershy is your mommy and I'm your aunt." Rainbow smirked, she watched Scootaloo turn her head up in confusion and then follow a series of small giggles from Fluttershy as she drank her tea.

"I want you to be my sister! Y'know! A really, really, really big sister who knows about beer and boys!" Scootaloo smiled, she tightened her arms round Rainbow Dash, who in sync looked at Fluttershy with a smile about to burst. Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash started to giggle and laugh at Scootaloo's comment.

"Heh, heh. Scoots, I don't know much about boys, 'cause I've never had a boyfriend. But I know a lot about beer though, but you're too young to drink any." Rainbow laughed, she raised her arm and wiped the tears that fell down from her face.

"I know..." Scootaloo blushed amongst the laughter; she turned to see Fluttershy still taking sips from her warm tea. "I just want a big sister that I can play and talk to. Like Sweetie Belle and Applebloom, they got sisters... they do stuff together. I wanna go out to the park and do stuff like that again, it'd be so cool."

Without thinking, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked back at each other with warm smiles nearing themselves into nice subtle grins. Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and mussed Scootaloo's purple hair.

"Sure. I'll be your big sister, only on one condition." Rainbow giggled.

"What is the condition?" Scootaloo asked.

"You do some good in school, concentrate hard and don't waste your lessons fallin' asleep." Rainbow mussed up Scootaloo's hair again, making it more of a mess than it already was. Her cheeks began to glow a bright red as soon as Rainbow finished, she turned her head to look at her mommy and smile a little.

"Don't worry Scootaloo; me and Cheerilee can help you get better at reading." Fluttershy gave off another warm smile and returned back to her tea, she lifted the cup back up and drank the final mouthful of warm sweet tea.

"Yeah, I'll teach you how to swim or something." Rainbow added.

"Swimming? But we haven't got a beach." Scootaloo giggled at how silly the idea seemed.

"I didn't say anything about the beach; I'm talkin' about the lakes in the forest." Rainbow explained.

"But I don't have any swimmies; do you expect me to swim in my diapers or something?" Scootaloo laughed.

"No, Fluttershy will buy you some swimming costumes or ask Rarity to make some for you." Rainbow Dash shook her head and moved her arms, she placed her hands under Scootaloo's armpits and lifted her up onto a spare space on the couch and stood up.

"Are you alright Dashie?" Fluttershy asked.

"Never better, I'm gonna go for a shower if you don't mind. You two have breakfast and get dressed." Rainbow Dash lifted her arms up into the air and stretched her arms until she started to groan from the relief of pain. She headed over to the stairs and started to make her way up until something stopped her, she took two steps back and leaned over the banister to look back at Scootaloo and Fluttershy who were both intently watching.

"Oh yeah - In the meantime, Fluttershy, why don'cha tell Scoots about the diaper under your gown." And with that, Rainbow Dash quickly went up the stairs.

Scootaloo sat with her pacifier back in her mouth until she spat it out. Only to cause it to dangle around her neck. Fluttershy's cheeks were blasted with a bright red; she looked down at her gown and then looked at Scootaloo.

Thirty Minutes Later...

Rainbow Dash kicked open the bathroom door, a massive gust of cold air and steam mixed together and roamed freely into Fluttershy's bedroom. A large yellow towel with the image of a pink butterfly was wrapped around her wet body; a second towel was wrapped around her head keeping her hair in check as droplets of water fell down onto her face.

The curtains were lazily draped over the windows in the bedroom by Rainbow Dash; her clothes were set down on the bed and were also just messy. Her shoes were on the floor with the socks inside of them, her underwear, tank top and running shorts were on top of the bed. She walked over to her clothing to take a good look at what she put down.

She lowered herself onto the bed and started to unwrap the towels surrounding her, they soon dropped completely revealing Rainbow's body. The temperature soon caught up with her and a cold blow went down her back.

"Uh... Dashie are you... Eeep!" Without a warning or a notice, Fluttershy opened her door and burst into her bedroom to see the sight of Rainbow Dash lying down on her bed without any clothing whatsoever. She quickly pulled up her hands in front of her face and blushed a bright red across her cheeks.

"Hey, Fluttershy wait a minute. Come in, I gotta talk to you." Rainbow Dash yelled over to her friend hiding behind the door, she kept herself on the bed and wrapped a part of the towel around her lower areas. But still kept her chest revealed.

It took a few seconds but Fluttershy managed to poke her head round the door with her eyes closed, trying her best not to look at her best friend without clothing on her. She covered her eyes with her hands and slowly made her way over to the bed.

"Dashie... I'm really sorry; I didn't know you were naked... Please don't be angry..." Fluttershy mulled her way over the bed, Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes and reached and pulled Fluttershy over to the bed until she sat down. But her eyes were still covered up by her hands.

"We've both got boobs Fluttershy; I don't know what you're scared of." Rainbow Dash groaned, she placed and wrapped her wet arm around Fluttershy and made a mark on her gown.

"S-Sorry... It's j-just y-your privacy..." Fluttershy was pulled over to Rainbow's side; her head was slightly leaned against Rainbow's skin. She could feel the cold droplets falling down her skin while her eyes are still shut.

"Nah, that's okay. Listen, I wanna speak to you." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Wh-What do you want to t-talk about?" Fluttershy whispered.

"How's Scootaloo?"

"Uh, fine... she's just eating breakfast. I will um... get her into her uniform after she is finished with her toast and orange juice."

"Good, we can talk for a moment."

"Is s-something wrong?"

"Nah, I just wanna know... are you kinda wondering about what has been going on lately?"

"N-No..."

"Think about it Fluttershy, your dream is gonna come true."

"M-My dream?"

"Yeah you said you wanted a family, right?"

"Y-Yes..."

"And now you're getting it. Just like that... I'm gonna be a sister and you're gonna be an actual mommy. How cool is that?"

"I think it's wonderful Dashie... but... I want to ask you something too..."

"What's up?"

"A-Are you going to be there? F-For me I mean... Because, I don't know what to do when our friends and the rest of town find out about Scootaloo... She might tell her friends and the adoption might get out of hand. I d-don't know if you want to help me tell them or not."

"Fluttershy, we are in this together. I ain't gonna stop helpin' you. I'm gonna help you look after Scootaloo."

"Y-You really mean it?"

"Heck yeah I do, I've known you for so many years we practically can do anything together."

"Are y-you sure?"

"Anything."

Rainbow Dash finally stopped talking and wrapped her wet arms around Fluttershy's chest, lightly holding her in place and making even more of a mess on her yellow gown.

"Dashie, is it okay if I clean you? Well, it's just that I have to keep my babies nice and warm you see." Fluttershy leaned away from Rainbow Dash and slowly opened her eyes, trying her best to not look down at her friend’s lower exposed body she grabbed the yellow towel and started to rub the warm material against Rainbow's wet skin.

"Thanks." Rainbow happily groaned, she leaned forward and allowed Fluttershy to place the towel on her backside to dry the rest of her off. Rainbow Dash lifted her arm and covered up her chest and crossed her legs to prevent her 'areas ' being seen.

Fluttershy got into her job quite well, she was so focused on getting Rainbow Dash clean and dry, the sound of childish laughter filled the room until both of them looked up at the doorway to see Scootaloo standing by the door with her hands over her mouth, preventing loud giggling to come out of her.

"Tee-hee, look Rainbow Dash! You have boobs!" Scootaloo pointed over and uncontrollably laughed out loud.

"Laugh it up Scoots; you'll have some when you're our age." Rainbow Dash huffed.

"Now, now Scootaloo. We need to get you dressed for school today; did you eat all of your breakfast?" Fluttershy spoke a little louder and gestured for Scootaloo to come over. With her onesie still on, Scootaloo waddled over to her mommy and nodded.

"Yes mommy I had all of my breakfast." Scootaloo nodded, she paused for a moment and then looked at Rainbow Dash. "Why are you naked?"

"Just had a shower Scoots." Rainbow Dash replied.

"Oh, is that why Fluttershy is drying you?" Scootaloo pointed towards the towel.

"Yep." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Wait-" Scootaloo just thought. "If I get boobs when I'm older, does that mean I have to wear that bra thingy?"

"Yeah, but you shouldn't be worrying about that. You're only seven years old." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

"It's okay Scootaloo; I'll tell you when you're older. How does that sound?" Fluttershy giggled a little and then reached over to give her daughter a small smile.

"It sounds pretty cool; I get to learn how to be a big girl when I'm older!" Scootaloo was happy; she jumped up and down a little which made both her mommy and sister smile.

"I think I'm dry enough, I'll get dressed." Rainbow nodded and turned round to reach for her clothes, she picked them up and started with her tank top. She lifted it over herself and plucked her arms through the holes.

"Come on Scootaloo, let's go into the nursery and get you dressed for school. We don't want you to go to school in a diaper." Fluttershy reached under Scootaloo and picked her up from under the arms and lifted her up onto her lap. Fluttershy took a moment to slowly stand up with the child in her arms; she looked back at Rainbow Dash now putting on her underwear and then headed to the door.

Ten Minutes Later...

Rainbow Dash leaned against the wall, impatiently tapping her foot on the carpet waiting for Scootaloo and Fluttershy to come out of the nursery. It had been at least ten minutes, she wanted to go outside and feel the sun in her face but her family was still holding up.

But finally after waiting, the nursery door opened and Scootaloo stepped out wearing her school uniform. She was wearing a gray jumper over a white button shirt; a yellow bow was rooted deeply into her hair. A short school skirt that went halfway down to her knees covered up quite a bit of her legs and she was wearing her shoes and socks.

"What do you think Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo walked up to her sister and presented herself as if she were trying to model, twisting and turning showing off her clothing and trying to emphasize her yellow bow attached in her hair.

Rainbow Dash couldn't help but smile at the bow in her hair, the rest of the uniform seemed pretty standard. The bow seemed to add some life and colour into the gray dull uniform.

"You look awesome Scoots, the bow suits you." Rainbow leaned down onto her knees and prodded the yellow bow, causing it to sway back and forth.

Scootaloo held her hands together and blushed a little around the cheeks, she looked away for a moment and then turned back to see that Rainbow Dash had stood back up.

"Thanks big sis."

"No problem Scoots, what took you so long?" Rainbow Dash leaned against the wall and looked down.

"Oh... when mommy was changing my clothes she found out I peed in my diaper again." Scootaloo giggled.

"Did you do it on purpose?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yeah..." Scootaloo blushed a little more. "I needed to go to the bathroom... But I used my diaper instead..."

"That's okay Scoots, you should've told us."

"Sorry..."

"It's alright... So where is Fluttershy?"

"Just cleaning the nursery for tomorrow."

"Just you two, huh?"

"Yep."

"Y'know that Fluttershy wants to do what we do? She was wearing a diaper under her gown, didn't you hear it?"

"Yeah, mommy told me in the nursery she wanted to make us feel cool about wearing diapers."

Rainbow Dash looked from side to side for a moment, acting like someone was listening to them. She leaned over to Scootaloo and grinned.

"Maybe... We should baby her, why don't you ask her after school to be the mommy?"

Scootaloo's face lit up with a big smile, her cheeks returned back to their normal colours and she started to giggle a little.

"That sounds really funny!"

"You should do it!" Rainbow nodded.

"Tee-hee, yeah!"

The giggling and planning stopped as Fluttershy came out of the nursery dressed in her normal attire, her thick yellow sweater was on and her tight jeans were buttoned up. She was also wearing her socks and shoes. Thought, she looked entirely not happy. There was a certain familiar bulge coming out from her tight jeans and they were obviously protruding outwards.

"Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "We leavin' now?"

"Uh... Yes Dashie... Um... Scootaloo... Your schoolbag is downstairs..." Fluttershy was obviously up to something, her face was blushing and the strange crinkling noise Dash had heard earlier was still coming from her. She knew what Fluttershy was up to, but she didn't want to say anything just yet.

"Alright, let's go then."

If you want a strange fuzzy mood, trying listening to a song called "The Elephant Man" by a band called Mastodon while reading this chapter. You can find it on Youtube, so check it out.

I'm going to take a Christmas break (HIATUS) now that this chapter has been released, the next two chapters will focus on the meeting and... THE ENDING. I also challenged myself to make this chapter a little longer than usual to add in a little more detail and stretch the story out so that you got more diapered action. :P

Thank you for reading, as always.

Chapter Twenty-Six

Thirty Minutes Later...

The school was now in sight, the streets were busy and the sounds of laughter, gossip and shouting can be heard from all directions. The sun was now rising towards the top of the sky and there was not a single cloud in the sky. Leftover patches of rainwater were slowly dripping off from the trees and slowly making their way down the drains found in the middle of the roads.

All the shops were now open, the Sugarcube Corner had a line of customers waiting outside and people were sitting down by the chairs and tables on the outside. It looked packed in with so many people surrounding it.

But on the pavement were Fluttershy, Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash all walking together towards the school. They had nearly reached their destination and the crowd of small children inside the area on the playground were all visible. Both Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were holding Scootaloo's hands, the child was in between them and they were on either side looking after her.

They all crossed the final road over to where the school is, a mixture of family members and parents belonging to different children stood outside the school gates. Watching as their children played on the swings and the apparatus. But Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy moved through the crowd still holding Scootaloo's hands until they got inside the playground.

The first thing Rainbow Dash did was to try and look out for Cheerilee in her usual thin purple sweater, her tied back hair but she was no where to be found. Instead, the school doors opened and there stood Lyra, wearing Cheerilee's usual sweater and was strangely wearing reading glasses. In her hands was a bell and she shook it up and down which quickly got the attention of the surrounding children who shielded their ears from the noise.

"Alright kiddo's get inside! We got some work to do!" Lyra shuffled down the steps and moved out of the way, allowing the children to get inside. After a moment Lyra looked from side to side to check if anymore children were still hanging around the playground, she walked up to the play area and took a good look around. But no children to be found, she moved away and saw Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and a nervous looking Scootaloo standing in between them.

"Oh hey! Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy... How ya' doing?" Lyra's smile grew as she got closer to both of them and gave them both a quick hug.

"We're fine Lyra; we were just dropping Scootaloo off to school." Rainbow Dash stood out of the way to reveal for Lyra that Scootaloo had been hiding herself behind Fluttershy.

"Oh cool, I'm just here looking after the kids 'cause Cheerilee couldn't get in. She's going to the Mayors office, something to do with you two." Lyra nodded and waved at Scootaloo, she turned back to face Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy.

Both of them looked at each other in confusion for a moment and looked back at Lyra.

"What for?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"I dunno." Lyra shrugged." Cheerilee phoned me and Bon-Bon up and asked if we could watch her kids for a while, since we ain't got anything worth doin' today I said that we'll do it. Plus, I have to wear her geeky sweater and glasses to make me look smart!"

Rainbow Dash let out a chuckle but placed her hands over her mouth right before she made any noise, she turned round and walked away from her friends for a moment and leaned against one of the school gates. Fluttershy blinked and then cleared her throat.

"Y-Yes uh, hello Lyra... I was wondering if you could d-do something for me?" Fluttershy smiled a little and turned her head to look at her daughter standing behind her.

"Sure Fluttershy, what's up?" Lyra smiled back and nodded.

"Uh- Every playtime that the children have... Cheerilee would do this thing where she would help Scootaloo read some b-books to improve her r-reading. I was wondering if you c-could still help her even though Cheerilee isn't here."

"You mean those baby books I found in Cheerilee's desk? Sure, I'll read 'em to Scootaloo."

"Thank you Lyra."

"No problem." Lyra nodded and leaned down to get a closer look at Scootaloo. Who was still hiding behind her mother’s legs. "Hey kiddo' we're gonna read some books together, don't worry. I wasn't that good with books either, didn't find 'em interestin' enough."

Rainbow Dash came back with a smirk on her face; she wiped a tear from her eye and took another glance at Lyra.

"Oh man, if only Berry Punch were here right now..." Rainbow sighed. "She'd be all over you in a millisecond."

This caused Lyra to frown a little bit, she leaned back up and placed her hands on her hips and groaned.

"Well, I gotta look after those kids now. Guess I'll see you all later. C'mon kid, time to learn stuff." Lyra looked behind Fluttershy and gave another smile over to Scootaloo, the child slowly let go of her mother and stood out in front of the three and blushed a little. She turned round and looked at her mother.

"Bye mommy, I love you." Scootaloo blushed.

"I love you too Scootaloo, please have a good day." Fluttershy kneeled down and rested herself on the playground floor; she placed her hands on her daughter’s shoulders and pulled her into a big hug. Rainbow Dash and Lyra looked at each other for a moment.

"This is what it's all about, huh?" Lyra curiously nodded down to Scootaloo and Fluttershy.

"Yeah. Just like you and Bon-Bon."

"I can't wait until Tootsie Flute goes to school, two years old and nearly ready to go start daycare. It'd be a pain I imagine when they get to their teens."

"Well just think of all the trouble we did as teenagers. Remember how many times we got grounded for sneaking outta' the house?"

"Yeah." Lyra chuckled. "Wait until Scootaloo goes around asking what a playboy magazine is all about. Or how her training bra is gonna kill her back."

"Give it six years." Rainbow Dash chuckled.

Lyra took a moment to look behind her to see that she was needed inside of the school, the children inside were restless and their noise got louder. They needed controlling before anything bad was going to happen; this was her sigh to leave the conversation.

"Scootaloo, when you're ready. Make your way into class. Cheerilee says that you still gotta finish on your maths work or something." Lyra nodded and smiled at both Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy and started to walk over to the school doors with Scootaloo slowly tagging behind. Always looking back to get a glimpse of her mommy and idol standing together watching her go in.

Scootaloo went inside and Lyra closed the door, preventing any children from escaping. Now Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash were alone in the playground, the sounds of children yelling and screaming had died down and now the wind could be heard. Slowly making its way through town.

"Let's head to the town hall."

The pace had quickly changed. The streets seemingly felt a little emptier now that all of the children were in school, the warm weather died down a little to let weak gusts of wind to burst through town. As Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash neared the Town Hall they noticed an increase in people as they passed from street to street.

The Town Hall was in their sights, accompanied with the town fountain now turned on. Spouting streams of water into its base for all to see. Groups of people dressed in fancy clothing and business suits caught the eye making themselves look important.

Rainbow Dash picked out one of the familiar faces in the crowd and noticed someone sitting down on a bench, with her hands gripped round Fluttershy's soft warm hand she had to take this slow. Her curiosity for Cheerilee had been peaking ever since of what Lyra said to her at the playground.

Indeed it was the teacher herself, she was sitting down on a public table with her handbag out in the open. Resting on the top of the table. She was wearing her usual thin purple sweater with a white shirt underneath, a small purple bow in the shape of a flower was implanted into her hair which held everything back and kept her usual style.

She looked around for a moment and noticed Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy off in the distance without Scootaloo nearby, she quickly got up and took hold on her handbag and wrapped the handle around her shoulders and quickly walked over to her friends amidst the crowd and stood in front of them with a big smile across her face.

"Today's the big day you two. I hope you have been getting enough sleep because this is the moment of truth!" Cheerilee raised her voice and happily yelled out. Fluttershy giggled while Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes.

"Oh man Cheerilee, calm down. This ain't the Wonderbolts." Rainbow Dash chuckled.

"You're right Rainbow Dash; it's just that I couldn't wait to meet up with both of you after I got a call from the Mayor saying that everything is in the green. I went to the office two hours prior to sort out the paperwork, filling my duties as a teacher, of course. I asked Lyra and Bon-Bon to watch over the school for me in this time of absence, but I guess you must have seen them when you dropped off Scootaloo, right?"

"Oh yes Miss Cheerilee." Fluttershy nodded. "Scootaloo gave me a hug and we said goodbye... uh, I hope that you don't mind that I asked Lyra... to you know... read a few books to Scootaloo."

"That's no problem Fluttershy, after this whole meeting is finished I have to give some money to Lyra and Bon-Bon and I shall continue where we left off."

"That's another thing I'd like to ask... What do I have to do in the m-meeting?"

"I don't actually know myself dear, adoptions aren't my strong-point in knowledge but all I can say is that I will be there to help out with the paperwork, direction, confidential child support and free education. Just listen to the Mayor and take in what she says, it isn't going to be that long." She took a step closer to Fluttershy and patted her on the shoulder and then gave her a quick hug. "Just stay calm and listen carefully."

"Okay." Fluttershy nodded again. "Well I-I'm going to t-try my best..."

"Well I'm gonna be there too." Rainbow Dash added in. "Ain't no way I'm gonna miss out on the action."

Cheerilee chuckled at this for a moment, she placed her hand over her mouth and smiled for a moment and sighed. Rainbow Dash raised an eyebrow at the teacher’s quick change in emotions.

"I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, the Mayor told me about what you had been saying to her during the last meeting. About the whole diaper stuff and the Minister that she met in Canterbury who liked the exact same thing, I couldn't help but find it a little funny. Not horrible funny, just cute funny. As in other events the foster parents they are currently being unresponsive to phone calls and letters...”

"What do you mean 'unresponsive'?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

This changed the mood quickly; Fluttershy didn't understand what was going on. Had something happened to the foster parents while Scootaloo stayed at her house? She hoped that nothing wrong had happened to them whatsoever. But with Rainbow Dash on the other hand she tapped her foot and crossed her arms and glared at Cheerilee.

"The Mayor tried to call the foster parents... They didn't respond to her phone calls or her letters about the adoption. They have to respond to take part in the adoption, the Mayor asked me to knock on the foster home and see if they are able to come into the meeting... They didn't answer... And it's by law that if they don't respond to Government figures or their calling by the office then they aren't able to make any choices in the adoption process."

"I thought they had more of a say in this." Rainbow Dash smirked.

"Well... Yes..." Cheerilee nodded. "And... Not exactly, they only have to come in to the office to give their approval that they are ready to lease Scootaloo to another family. That's what a foster family does; they look after Scootaloo until there is an opportunity for her to be adopted. But if they aren't able to comply or respond to what the Mayor asks of them, then by no choice or approval she is to take Scootaloo and put her in the adopting family. It might sound complicated but it's actually less confusing when you read up about it."

"Boy, all this adoption stuff is pretty wack if you ask me."

"Well it's hard to understand at first. But you'll get used to it."

"Eugh." Rainbows head was now starting to hurt; she put her hands on her head and rubbed her skin in a circular motion to relieve the pain in her head. This was all getting too confusing for her, she just wanted a milkshake from the nearest bar and her worries would go away. "Can we just go into the Milky Way and just order some stuff? We got some time left before the meeting, so let’s relax and talk about stuff that normal people are s'posed to talk about?"

Cheerilee rolled her eyes and frowned, gripping tighter onto her handbag and nodded.

"Fine, I guess a chocolate milkshake with a little straw shouldn't hurt."

"Okay... What about Spitfire?"

Rainbow Dash stretched her arms up into the air, her bones cracked and her body fell back into her chair with a loud thump. Her knees collided with the bottom of the table causing the food and drink to slightly jolt which almost spilled over a milkshake. Fluttershy squeaked for a moment by being momentarily startled by the noise.

Cheerilee thought for a moment about this and smirked, she took a sip of her chocolate milkshake by the straw and looked up to the ceiling for a moment.

"Spitfire is a good singer, but she isn't as good as Soarin'." She took another sip from the plastic cup.

"You serious girl?" Rainbow Dash leaned back down and rested her arms on the table. "She's the one that made the Wonderbolts, plus she's the only band member to do some hardcore death metal."

"Yeah, and if I remember correctly she worked alongside with The Skullcrushers to make a death metal album. Too bad she only got the lead guitarist part down and not the vocals."

"'Cause the Skullcrushers are just boys dressed in leather and flabby face paint, they all think they got some stuff against the Wonderbolts, they ain't ever gonna make an album as good as Flight of the Wonderbolts or March of the Fire Ants. I tell ya', so many people are tryin' to copy Spitfire and Soarin' its unbelievable!"

"The Skullcrushers are death metal and The Wonderbolts are thrash metal, I don't really think you can compare them that easily. Lyrical style on the other hand, yes I think you can. Since Soarin' and Gepetto both do screamo."

"Sure I can Skullcrushers suck and Wonderbolts rock. You used to like both of them, so don't give me that."

"I used to like them before I got tired of rock, classical and opera is more of my type of thing. It's so beautiful to hear The Octavian Choir's chello player at the Canterbury Sound Dome."

Rainbow Dash leaned back into her seat, albeit more slower than she usually would. She glared at the teacher for a moment and then turned to face Fluttershy who sat in the corner next to the window, looking outside to take a good look at the people walking by.

"What about you Fluttershy? Wonderbolts or Skullcrushers?"

This got her attention, she slowly turned round and looked at the table for a moment and thought of her answer.

"I like the Wonderbolts... They're nice musicians..." Fluttershy moved her arms and put them on the table and nervously tapped her fingers on the wood waiting for what Cheerilee and Rainbow Dash had to say.

"So what songs do you like that are made by the Wonderbolts?" Cheerilee added, she took another sip of her milkshake and put it back down on the table.

"Uh... I like Running at the Speed of Light ... And I like Lunar Eclipse ..."

"Aren't those songs from their latest album?" Cheerilee asked.

"Yes." Fluttershy nodded.

"I thought you were the type of person to like their early stuff more than their later albums."

"I mean... I like the old albums... But the new ones I think are really good..." It took her a little courage but she looked over to the other side of the table to see Rainbow Dash resting her legs on top of the table itself. With her hands placed behind her head as if they were some sort of pillow, she had her pink pacifier in her mouth and was carelessly sucking on it.

"Uh- Dashie, do you like the new albums?"

Rainbow reached back up and grabbed the handle on her pacifier and pulled it out of her mouth, resulting in a loud pop. She smiled a little and nodded as if she were agreeing to something.

"Yeah, the new albums are awesome.’Specially the poster of Soarin' and Spitfire dressed in those cool suits."

"Oh... I got the poster too, but I put it back in the CD case... I didn't know where to put it..." Fluttershy across the table and grabbed the milkshake she had bought for herself and pointed the straw into the direction of her mouth and began to drink from it.

"If you don't want the posters then give 'em to me, I'll put them on my wall instead. I got loads of posters and signed CD's in my bedroom."

"You go to the live shows?" Cheerilee asked.

"Yeah, if I get any money then I'll go to the nearest concert and rock out."

Cheerilee smiled at what her friend said and then looked at her watch and her eyes widened, she looked up to Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy and stood up from the table.

"Well, it's time to go. We've only got five minutes left until it starts." She announced to everyone.

"Really? That long? Man, it felt really quick..." Rainbow Dash groaned.

"Let’s finish out milkshakes and hurry up; we need to get to the office."

To be Continued...

Author's Note

For those who are wondering, The Wonderbolts are the Metallica/Megadeth of Equestria. As for the Skullcrushers (which I obviously made up) I always think of them as the Mastodon (their early albums: Remission and Leviathan) or the Mudvayne of Equestria.

Thanks for reading the second last chapter in Pattycakes!

P.S: I know Mastodon is a sludge band and not death metal. :p Though give them some credit, their Call of the Mastodon EP sounds pretty heavy for sludge.

Switch (Part 1) - Epilogue (September 2013)

Two Weeks Later

Everything was perfect, the lights, the atmosphere and everything that made the living room lively was perfect. This was the moment that made her feel just right.

There she sat with her legs crossed to void the pain in her stomach, just the anticipation alone made her worry about what was going to happen, it was unbelievable. Sitting in the middle of the couch in a laid back position was what made it work for her, she needed to relax, after all this time to prepare there couldn't have been a good enough way to take the stress off her shoulders.

Around the living room each in a strategically placed position were a collection of candles, each one of them resting on a shelf and next to an assortment of plotted plants. Their controlled fire was dazzling, if not hypnotic in some details, the way it danced around was strangely more interesting than the Television planted right in front of her.

Not to say that it was on, it had been left unplugged for many hours and that was what made it special. Just the noise of the winds whistling outside was a possible comfort in these times of waiting.

But before her day dreaming could go on there was a knocking at the door, three loud wooden bangs that shook Fluttershy's thoughts back into her head. Her heart quickly raced and so did her mind at this moment, there was someone at the door, she had to get up and answer it.

She got up from her seat somewhat unable to keep herself in the state of perfect balance. After sitting down for so long she felt dizzy and partially disoriented in what her focus was, it was like the gravity of the room didn't want her to move she was perfectly comfortable where she was.

The knocking continued, three loud hits on the other side of the front door and then a slight pause.

Fluttershy made her way to the front door with great haste, her heart began to race and she felt deep down inside excited for what was about to come. But before her hands even dared to touch the handle there was one thing that stopped her.

A large mirror was hanging by the front door, held up by a small series of string and nails which were lazily rammed into the wall. Plastic models of small butterflies were scattered to the far corners of the mirror, all showing their impressive wingspan if they were ever alive.

Feeling unjust, she took a few steps to fit herself into the frame of the mirror to take a good look at herself.

Her hair was perfect for this occasion, tied back by a small band and thoroughly brushed to perfection in anticipation for the big moment. The thick yellow sweater that she wore made her look like a thick set of armor was hidden deep under, but this was the way how she liked it. The sweater kept her warm and cozy.

The breathing pattern soon tried to calm itself, through the nose and out through the mouth, but this wasn't helping it never helped in a situation like this.

A final set of banging came from the door, this really broke Fluttershy's concentration, her entire posture and trail of thought was rushed and now it came to opening the door. With another big deep breath and another exhale she grabbed onto the door handle and put a brave smile on everything.

The knob slowly turned and the mechanism's inside the door began to click and bang against each other, once the lock was pulled back Fluttershy pulled the door open in her direction. As it slowly opened a gust of cool air creept past her body and made its way inside the cottage.

Outside it was lovely, maybe something out of a book or a fairytale, but you could argue that the sun was a little too orange mixed with the pink clouds that shaded in with the rest of the darkening sky. But the warm afterglow was soon to die down and night were to befall on the land, but that wasn't the reason Fluttershy was smiling.

Standing on the pathway before her was her best friend, always there with a smile on her face no matter the problem. Dressed up ruggedly in a way that Fluttershy had come to expect, both were young, and their clothing shown that.

Rainbow Dash stood there in the decaying light, one hand placed against her hip and a sweet smile wrapped across her face. First inspection of her seemed to be normal at best, donning a short black leather jacket that went no further than her stomach. What appeared to be a basic white t-shirt which seemed too small for her as her belly button was easily revealed despite how dark it was getting.

Finally after her inspection of clothing Fluttershy noticed that her best friend was sporting a loose pair of green camouflaged combat trousers that strangely seemed rather baggy in terms of sizing. They were ever so slightly pulled down which revealed a white lining where the tip of her undies were showing off.

"Heeey!" A quick yelp came from Rainbow Dash, this surprised Fluttershy. "About time 'Shy, I was wonderin' when you was gonna open the door." She waved her free hand for a moment. "Nah, never mind 'bout any of that, it's a Saturday night. Let's relax. I brought booze!"

Despite that, Fluttershy took another look and noticed that Rainbow Dash held in one hand by the handle a large container of beer, to be more precise, a six pack of beer cans. But strangely two of them were already missing.

"Ooh, that's lovely Rainbow Dash. But... You know I can't drink beer, but uh... It was the thought that counts." In her mind, Fluttershy was starting to panic. It was like her words were going to offend Rainbow Dash and what she brought round, but all she could do is wait for the response.

"That's okay, more for me." Rainbow Dash let out a low chuckle and shrugged. "I've already drank two cans on the way here so I might as well finish the rest of them and get wasted at the same time."

"Do you want to come in Rainbow Dash?" She quickly moved herself out of the way and pulled her door open which allowed Rainbow Dash to slip through and enter the cottage. Rainbow Dash took a moment and readjusted her grip on the cans of beer.

"Yeah sure. Let me put my drinks in the fridge and we can chill out." Rainbow Dash started to make her move, she took slow steps towards the front door and slipped in through the available space and took a quick peek at Fluttershy as she passed through the door. "Lookin' good 'Shy." She winked.

Fluttershy's cheeks became a bright red as her best friend slipped through the tight space and entered the living room. She took hold on the handle and closed the door making sure that the locks on the door were heard.

She turned to see Rainbow Dash standing by the couch twisting and turning her head, getting a good look at her surroundings, she noticed the curtains were pulled down and a series of dim candles were put down all over the place. She gripped her beer handle even tighter than before and turned back to look at Fluttershy.

"You been changin' things around since the last time I came round? Those candles look cool and the new curtains are awesome." Rainbow Dash headed back over to Fluttershy who was still standing by the now closed door and let out a uncertain smile.

"Thank you Dashie." Fluttershy felt all warm inside. "I changed the curtains last Sunday, plus, uh... I cleaned up the house because I knew you were coming round and I fed the animals. I hope the house looks alright to you."

"Its cool 'Shy, lets head to the kitchen so I can put my booze in the refrigerator." Rainbow Dash lifted up the container level to her head, the cans inside the plastic packaging soon rattled against one another and the visible liquid inside swayed from side to side.

Fluttershy was the first one to make a move towards the kitchen, she slowly took her time and walked around the couch and headed to the entrance to the kitchen. Her head turned ever so slightly to make sure that her best friend kept a similar pace and stayed close behind her. Rainbow Dash seemed to speed up and stood right behind her with the beer in tow not minding for personal space.

Both of them entered the kitchen at exactly the same time, the room seemed empty without people inside to make use of the electronics. The curtains were slightly shut and the final beams of orange light fought their way through and lit up the kitchen with a strange orange afterglow of some sort.

One candle stood alone placed conveniently on a small tea cup which seemed to perfectly stand up without a problem.

Rainbow Dash made a quick rush over to the fridge and grabbed onto the handle, with some strength she pulled open the refrigerator door and felt a waft of fresh cold air hit her in the face. But this didn't matter, she slipped the handle off from her hand and lightly placed it on the floor and squinted at the contents of what was inside the fridge.

Fluttershy on the other hand knew this would only take a minute, but she needed something to do, but there was nothing around her to interact with properly. All of her pots and pans had been put away for another time and there was nothing left to clean, her animals had been fed and Angel was put to bed. But after breaking out of her thoughts she took a peek at what Rainbow Dash was doing, she leaned to the right to get a glimpse of what was going on in the fridge.

"You've been busy 'Shy. What's all this veg and fruit doing in the refrigerator?" Rainbow Dash leaned away from the fridge and tipped her head past the door and looked up to see Fluttershy standing next to her.

"Oh! I've been recently saving up on vegetables and fruits because its getting close to Winter, my little animals need extra food in the cold season, but I also bought some extra fruit and vegetables from the market because... Uh, I wondered if you wanted to have dinner here."

"Hrm..." Rainbow Dash paused, she turned her head and looked back at the insides of the fridge and looked back. She gave a small smile and stood up from her resting position and closed the fridge door with the beers inside. "How about..." She took a few steps and got up close to Fluttershy, her eyelids shut halfway and her smile turned into a smirk. "How about we order a pizza? I got some money in my jacket, I'll pay and we can order a large cheese pizza and we can add our own toppings... How 'bout it?"

The question was easy, but something that made Fluttershy rather fuzzy was where Rainbow Dash's hands were placed. Both of them were on her sides digging into her hip as her best friend laid them there, her touch was soft but she was unable to properly feel it because of her thick yellow sweater.

"Uh... I don't know... Do you want me to pay instead? I have a tiny bit of money I can spend." Her mind felt like it was turning blank, her body felt unbelievably warm and her senses felt out of range with what she was feeling. Rainbow Dash kept her hands on her hips and continued to smile as if nothing was wrong.

"Nah, I got a couple of notes in my pocket 'cause I was picking up my winnings from last weeks Strip Poker..." Rainbow Dash proceeded to chuckle. "Applejack and Rarity were furious when they handed over their money to me." She took one hand off Fluttershy's hip and reached deep within her combat trouser pocket and pulled out two green notes, she then rattled them from side to side in front of Fluttershy.

"How much money have you got?" Fluttershy asked.

"Twenty bits. And some extra coins in my back pocket." Rainbow Dash crossed her arms and smugly nodded, standing triumphantly over her newly acquired money.

"So we are going to have a large cheese pizza, that sounds lovely Dashie. But er- What about later tonight?" Her cheeks returned back to their bright red color. "When are we going to do that?"

"Later." Rainbow Dash unfolded her arms and stuffed her money back into her pockets. "I'm gonna order the pizza and we can sit down, eat it together, then we can go upstairs and have a little fun." She smiled back.

"The telephone is in the living room Dashie... If you want to call now, I mean, I can wait if we have to." Fluttershy turned slightly and pointed towards the entrance to the living room, she was unsure of what to do, but she knew waiting for Rainbow Dash to call the shots would be the right thing.

"I'll call 'em now and the pizza should arrive in fifthteen minutes. The Pizzeria in town does some really good pizza's, they're so awesome, you can ask for whatever toppings you like or you can ask for them to put stuff like chocolate chips and sprinkles as the toppings." Rainbow Dash made her move, she walked past Fluttershy and headed for the door frame that connected the kitchen to the living room.

Fluttershy soon followed behind her best friend and entered back into the living room, it was much darker than before and the candles were starting to ooze with wax, the small platforms that they were all placed on had begun to collect the liquid and the candles themselves seemed to be much shorter. The orange glow was noticably turning into a blue hue as the remaining visible parts of the sun sank in the horizon.

Rainbow Dash made it over to the couch and leaned down to pick up the telephone from its stand, one by one she dialed in a series of numbers and put the phone next to her ears. She impatiently tapped her foot while Fluttershy stood in the middle of the room taking notice to the candles.

"Hello? Yeah."

...

"I'd like to order a large cheese pizza, no toppings."

...

"Yeah."

...

"Uh-huh."

...

"Sure."

...

"If I give you extra you'll do that?"

...

"Okay. How much is it all going to be?"

...

"Twenty-Five bits, plus the extra milkshakes? Sweet. Make sure there is a chocolate and a strawberry."

...

"Yeah, send it to the cottage outside'a town will 'ya? Y'know the one near the Animal Sanctuary at the Everfree Forest. Y'can't miss it."

...

"Can't wait."

...

"Thanks, goodbye."

With a truimphant yell Rainbow Dash slammed the phone back down onto its stand.

"Hey Fluttershy, check this: They said to me because I was the first customer to ring after 7PM, we're gettin' extra milkshakes!"

Fluttershy turned round not taking her eyes off one of the candles and saw the overly happy and energetic Rainbow Dash throwing herself onto the couch. Preferably landing on her back and rested her head onto one of the arms, this caused Fluttershy to giggle slightly.

"That's wonderful Dashie." Fluttershy smiled. "What are we going to do now?"

"Y'wanna watch some TV or do ya' wanna just talk. I'm not in the mood for you-know-what until we had some delicious pizza." Leaning towards the table Rainbow Dash picked up the TV remote and rested a finger on the power button. Fluttershy moved in closer and sat down in the middle of the couch with a hand rubbing her chin.

"Can we talk? Well... Its just that I don't like watching the TV very often. But if you want to watch it then you can... I don't mind Dashie..." She eyed up the TV and then looked back over to Rainbow Dash feeling rather uncertain about what to do.

"Okay." Rainbow Dash nodded. "We'll talk... Ain't nothin' good on TV anyways, only the good stuff is the cartoons nowadays."

"So..." Fluttershy began. "Uh... What did you do today?"

"Woke up at eleven in the morning feelin' over my latest hangover, got outta' bed, took a shower, had some breakfast and I picked up my winnings. Drank some booze back at the apartment, got drunk again, fell asleep, woke up, ate a few chocolate bars and then got myself ready to come here." Rainbow Dash soon stretched out her arms up into the air and placed one hand on Fluttershy's shoulder and started to rub her back. "So what did you do today 'Shy?"

"Ooh.." Fluttershy groaned, she leaned back and positoned herself in the appropriate area so that her best friend could continue with her back rub. "I -ah, woke up... Ooh... H-Had breakf-fast w-with S-Scootaloo. Ah... We f-fed the animals together and we -Ooh, w-went to the park... We met S-Scootaloo's f-friends -ah, and they w-wanted her to s-sleep over at Rarity's B-Boutique... Ooh, I s-said she could."

Rainbow Dash pulled her hand away from Fluttershy's back and watched her best friend just flop back into one of the large pillows behind her. She let out a quiet moan and breathed heavily.

"So little Scoots is sleepin' over at Rarity's place, huh? Sounds cool, we get the house to ourselves and little Scoots stays with her friends." Rainbow Dash chuckled and put her arms behind her head, acting like they were an extra set of pillows she kicked off her running shoes and wiggled her toes.

It didn't take long for Fluttershy to regain herself, her heavy breathing and the warm feeling within her started to dissapear completely. She leaned back up from her resting place and looked at Rainbow Dash with a smile, her cheeks immediately went red and she put her hand on her friends stomach.

"Sorry Dashie, I didn't know you were going to do that." Fluttershy apologized.

"Heh heh, you shouldn't say sorry. You're a hard-workin' mother who has to look after a bunch of animals and Scootaloo." Rainbow Dash slowly leaned up from her resting place and gave a warm smile, she put her hand over Fluttershy's hand and held tightly onto it. "You deserve a break every once in a while 'Shy, why do ya' think I ordered some pizza? I'm gonna treat you with some delicious takeaway food, none of that healthy stuff."

"Thanks Dashie. I don't know what to say..."

"You don't have to say anything." Rainbow Dash smiled. "We wait for it to deliver, eat some delicious pizza and we relax upstairs for you-know-what."

Fluttershy didn't expect it, but without warning Rainbow Dash quickly leaned up from her spot and got upclose together. Rainbow Dash puckered her lips and landed a small kiss on her red cheek and leaned back down on the couch. A wave of heat and mixed emotions ran through her body and mind, it felt like an overload.

She opened her mouth about to speak and let loose her words, but she was quickly stopped by a loud wooden banging noise coming directly behind her. Fluttershy yipped forward yet Rainbow Dash launched herself off the couch and cheered.

"Yeah! The pizza! Fluttershy. You stay here, I'll pay for the pizza." Rainbow Dash quickly rushed over to the front door, grabbed the door handle and twisted it carelessly to open the door. Outside stood a visitor in the new darkness holding a large cardboard box with several logo's on the front of it.

As the conversation between Rainbow Dash and the person outside began to take place, this left Fluttershy alone for a moment. She shivered as the cold air from the outside crept into her living room and snuffed out the raging fire coming from a few candles. Fluttershy felt somewhat empty, yet confused at what just happened a moment ago. Her hand slowly reached up and rubbed against the skin that Rainbow Dash laid her lips upon, that fuzzy and warm feeling returned and she felt spaced out with the rest of the room.

But her thoughts were quickly pulled back as Rainbow Dash slammed the front door with a simple kick and a large pizza box in both hands. Fluttershy blinked and looked at the delivery and forced a smile at the sight of food.

"You ready for some pizza 'Shy? I know I am!" The large cardboard box was slammed down onto the wooden surface of the coffee table. Rainbow Dash put her hands on her hips and then decided to cross them, Fluttershy looked at the pizza box and leaned forward and inspected the opening at the front.

The lid of the box slowly opened with Fluttershy's fingers dipped within to reveal a large thick cheese pizza, freshly cooked and made for consumption, the entire pizza was broken up into eight big slices.

Finally after staring at the pizza for so long, Rainbow Dash also put down the milkshakes next to the box and rubbed her hands devilishly.

"I am starvin' y'want me to get you some fruit and veg for some toppings?" Rainbow Dash gestured over to the kitchen and continued to stare at the pizza, but she couldn't wait any longer. She picked up her chocolate milkshake, extended the straw and put it in her mouth and sucked up the liquid from inside the cup.

"Its okay Dashie. I don't feel like eating any toppings." Fluttershy nodded her head and rubbed her cheek once more and looked away from the pizza.

"You just eatin' it how it is? Sure, I can go with it. So how are we splittin' it up?" Rainbow Dash took a small leap and landed on the couch beside Fluttershy, this startled her greatly not only because it was so quick, but that she bounced slightly upwards when Rainbow Dash made contact. Fluttershy put her eyes on the pizza once again and counted up the slices, she nodded and turned back to her best friend.

"I'll have two slices if that's alright. I want to keep another two for Scootaloo, and you can have the rest... If you want to." She made herself seem small when a familiar hand brushed against her back. Fluttershy knew who's hand this was, but her sights were set on the pizza sitting there on the coffee table looked absolutely delicious.

"C'mon 'Shy. Treat yourself to some pizza, have the other two slices. C'mon, Scootaloo will be just fine, I bet she's havin' some good food over at Rarity's boutique so I wouldn't worry." Rainbow Dash bounced up and down on the couch excitedly, her smile couldn't get any bigger now that the pizza was open and the smell of melted cheese made her act hyper.

"I guess three slices wouldn't hurt..." Fluttershy reassured herself.

"That's the spirit!" Rainbow Dash cheered. "Let's dig in!"

Thirty-Five Minutes Later

Most of the candles have died out, the wax started to drip from the edges of the stands and the remnants of the warm light was starting to disappear completely. It had been quite a bit of time since the last part of the sun sank into the horizon and now full darkness had swept over the land outside.

Inside the living room there was only one real source of light, the TV. Not appearing to be playing anything interesting, nor was it producing any sound, the TV was playing a muted clip of the legendary Wonderbolts rocking in front of a massive crowd of adrenaline filled fans.

One slice of pizza remained inside the cardboard box in which was placed right next to two empty plastic containers that contained tiny droplets of chocolate and strawberry milkshake. The chocolate container strangely had a half chewed straw sticking out of it.

Rainbow Dash was still lying down on the couch, parts of her clothing now removed such as her jacket and her shoes, but not as unusual as her trousers being piled onto the floor, just leaving her in just her shirt and undies. She put her hands on her belly and patted it which in return caused it to bobble a little.

"My belly is full 'Shy. Feel too tired to move, if ya' ask me." Rainbow Dash mumbled to herself, she raised her arms into the air and felt her joints clicking one by one.

Fluttershy, who on the other hand was still sitting upright with a small blue plate on her lap, was nibbling away at the last slice of pizza she had to go through. With a few custom toppings and a small dip of salad cream she took slow and very small bites at the delicious pizza. She paused for a second and turned her head to look at Rainbow Dash.

"I'm just going to finish this pizza slice." She took another bite and swallowed. "We can go upstairs after I put the plate in the sink. But if you want to go upstairs now then I don't mind."

"I'll wait for you." Rainbow Dash lifted her head up, readjusted her undies and then rested her arms behind her head.

Fluttershy didn't want any pressure put on her, but in the best interests of her friend she decided to speed up and get the pizza out of the way. Instead of the small usual nibbles she opened her mouth and took in a normal bite-size skipping past the details of the flavour and the taste.

A minute passed and she was finished with her pizza slice. Fluttershy grabbed a small wipe off from the table and slowly rubbed it against her skin, soon pieces of cheese and the tomato sauce all fell onto the wipe and she put the plate and the dirty wipe on the coffee table and turned to face Rainbow Dash.

"I'm ready to go upstairs now Dashie." Fluttershy let out a little smile and put her hands back onto her lap. Rainbow Dash nodded and stretched her arms and then kicked her legs up into the air.

"Cool!" Rainbow Dash lifted herself up. "Did you enjoy that pizza? I know I sure did."

"Oh, I liked the pizza very much Dashie. I'm going to save one slice for Scootaloo when she comes home tomorrow. I hope you don't mind." Fluttershy nodded her head in agreement.

Rainbow Dash was the first one to stand up and lift herself off from the couch, she leaned down rather slightly to pick up her clothes that she took off and turned to look back at Fluttershy who slowly rose from her seat. Both of them stood by each other and made their way to the stairs and started to ascend.

Continued in... Part Two!

Switch (Part 2) - Epilogue (September 2013)

The door slowly creaked open and the handle twisted to cause the loud clicking sounds which followed them into the nursery. Fluttershy dipped her hand into the darkness and felt the light switch against her soft fingers, she pressed down on the switch and heard another clicking noise, the nursery filled up with a bright light and she entered the room.

Things were different this time, the nursery seemed to feel the same but the impact on the eyes would never be the same. The wallpaper that was clenched onto the surrounding walls was now different, a basic white background with the images of large colorful ABC blocks followed by numbers continuing after them. Images of numerous Rattles, Pacifiers, Bottles and Teddy Bears were also printed along with the numbers which made the room look even more lively.

The changing table remained in the same place as normal with no real additional changes whatsoever.

Rainbow Dash lastly entered the room and closed the door behind her with a grin smacked across her face. She crossed her arms and admired the new look for the nursery.

"Do you like what I've done Dashie? Me and Scootaloo picked the wallpaper and we bought a... Uh, as you can see... A new crib..." Fluttershy stood across the other side of the room now standing beside something that even Rainbow Dash didn't expect.

Upon taking a closer inspection of the crib Rainbow Dash noticed the first obvious detail. The sheets were tucked under the mattress and a large mobile was floating overhead the crib, idly spinning without making any noise.

But that wasn't the slightest part of detail that made it special, the big difference was that the crib, in actuality, was now a larger size than before. Rainbow Dash left her mouth open for a good few seconds before reminding herself of what she was doing, the crib in front of her was specifically sized to fit an adult and a small child.

"Where did you even get somethin' so huge? I thought people made cribs in baby sizes?" Rainbow Dash turned to Fluttershy and asked.

"Well... I asked someone to help me build this crib. Well, uh, it wasn't a crib at first. It was normal bed and then I asked that person to add bars on the side." Feeling rather happy with Dash's reaction, Fluttershy smiled and rested a hand on the wooden guard.

"Who? And how much did ya' have to pay t'get somethin' this big?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Um... I don't want to say his name... He might get embarrassed if someone knows what he made for me." Fluttershy quickly responded back and put a hand over her mouth.

"Ooh, its a 'he'? Was it Caramel?"

"No."

"Mr. Cake? His kids are still babies and they still sleep in a crib."

"Uh- No. Big Macintosh wouldn't like it if I told people that he-"

"I knew it!" Rainbow Dash yelled. "I bet you had to use your womanly ways to get his attention and ask you to build a giant crib!" She chuckled.

It took Fluttershy a moment to understand what Rainbow Dash was referencing but as soon as the thought hit her head, she quickly turned beet-red and shivered.

"Big Mac isn't my type of... Um, person. I mean... He is very nice but I don't think I'm ready for a relationship with a man. Oh Dashie, he did a really good job, I tried to give him some money for his hard work. But he didn't want anything in return."

Fluttershy dropped her hand from the front of her mouth and rested it on her lap, feeling rather dirty for thinking of a man in such a weird way.

"Don't worry about it 'Shy, I'm just teasing you. But to be honest you'd be pretty good with a guy like Big Mac, he's pretty quiet and he works a lot." Rainbow Dash tilted her head. "Anyways, enough talk about boys, lets have some fun."

"Yes... Fun..." Fluttershy nodded. "So... Is my little baby ready to have some fun?"

A small smirk grew on Rainbow's face.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Rainbow Dash crossed her arms and smiled.

Fluttershy let out a quick gasp and took a step away from the crib in a slight panic, she rested a hand next to her mouth and blushed a little.

"Oh yes! Sorry Dashie, I didn't know you want me to do it right now. Just sit down on the changing table and we'll get started." Fluttershy was on the issue in an instant, she began to make her way over to the changing table with so much on her mind. She stood infront of the changing table and proceeded to pull out one of the fresh adult sized diapers out of the cabinet underneath.

She slowly got up and regained her balance with the diaper in hand. Fluttershy put the undergarment down on the table still unfolded when she felt that strange feeling go into her hips once again.

A pair of hands slowly wrapped around her hips and locked themselves together by the fingers, Rainbow Dash rested her chest on her friends back.

"You forgot one thing Fluttershy." Rainbow Dash then decided to whisper, her soft voice soon echoed through the room. "Remember last week on Sunday when we agreed that we were going to do things differently?"

Fluttershy gulped. She could feel Rainbow's breath creeping down her neck as the rest of her body felt like it was going to turn into complete stone, her mind was locked.

"I remember... I'm really sorry Dashie that I forgot, its just... I'm not used to thinking about the other way round and I..." Her lips were silenced immediately by a friendly hand. Fluttershy froze into position unable to speak no more by her best friend.

"Okay." Rainbow Dash sighed. "We mentioned last week about swapping things round where YOU become the baby and I sorta' have to look after you. Its pretty simple 'Shy, but you made a good start wearing diapers around the house last week. Not to mention you drank from a baby bottle that one time, I'm doing this for you now, you've looked after me for quite a while and I think now is a perfect time to repay you."

At the same time Fluttershy felt a mixture of feelings. Her body felt soft and warm on the inside now that Rainbow Dash was holding her, but rather sad and upset that she wasn't able to look after her Baby Dashie.

"It shouldn't be too hard looking after you." Rainbow Dash giggled. "All I have to do is put a diaper on you and make sure your happy."

"B-But you'll see me naked..." Fluttershy whispered back.

"You've seen me naked loads of times so what makes this different?" Rainbow Dash slowly unraveled her arms and loosened her grip on Fluttershy, she slipped her way round her body and stood beside the changing table. Fluttershy quickly noticed that Rainbow Dash had her hand on the changing mat and was specifically patting it to get her attention.

"You want me to lie down?" Fluttershy looked at the table and then glanced at Rainbow Dash.

"Obviously. Put your butt up on the changing table and I'll undress you. But first, take off your sweater and then we can start." Rainbow Dash picked up the thick white diaper up from the table and started to unwrap its contents.

"Uh... Okay..." Fluttershy felt rather wierd now, her sweater was her usual choice of clothing and she would wear it all the time no matter where. She started to slowly pull it up from the bottom and soon what's under her sweater became visible to Rainbow Dash. A bright pink t-shirt was unvieled as Fluttershy slipped her head and arms out of the yellow sweater, the lack of thickness surrounding her body now revealed a thin physique which made Rainbow Dash smile.

The sweater was then put down on the side of the changing table and neatly folded up, Fluttershy soon climbed up onto the changing table and rested herself onto the changing mat ontop.

Rainbow Dash admired this.

She put down the diaper on the side for a moment and eyed up her friends trousers, while Fluttershy herself looked rather embarrased to be up on the table she looked away from the action and stared at one of the pictures on the wallpaper.

The first few buttons on the front of her trousers were soon undone, that alone revealed a pair of white underwear with small pink lace running through the top. This made Fluttershy blush.

Fluttershy could feel it, her trousers were soon sliding down her body and then soon enough her legs were naked. Slight pains and twinges in her stomach made her feel like curling up into a ball, but her mind ran through with the same thought of peace and tranquility.

"Ready?" Rainbow Dash now chuckled, this really put her off, she lifted up the diaper into view and waved it from side to side.

"Yes." Fluttershy replied.

Rainbow Dash hooked a finger and dug it slightly into the top of her friends underwear. Fluttershy felt the finger slowly enter her most delicate of areas and not only to feel her undies sliding down her legs, she felt Rainbow Dash rubbing her hands all the way down her legs.

"There. All done." Rainbow Dash happily announced, slapping her hands together admist her hard work and looked down at what she had done to her best friend.

Fluttershy had kept her eyes on the wall, the basic nursery colors coming from the printed images were essientally calming for a person like her. After her body felt disgusted by the feelings she had welled up from her experience, she slowly leaned up from the changing mat with a pain in her stomach.

This wasn't to do with the food whatsoever, her stomach felt void and empty, everytime her eyes turned to take a quick look at Rainbow Dash she felt warm and sweaty.

"Now." Rainbow Dash smugly crossed her arms. "Is wittle Fwuttershy gonna pway wif her wittle toys wike a good wittle baby?" As she spoke, she forced a childish tone of voice. But as she was doing it, Rainbow Dash slowly moved over to her new oversized baby and wrapped an arm around her and lightly hugged her. "Or do you wanna pway in your cwib?"

Fluttershy was simple dazed and confused by everything, her instincts were swapped round and now she was unable of what to think of it all. She was supposed to be one to do this to her little Dashie, not the other way round.

"Uhm... Dashie... I-" She opened her mouth to begin her objections.

"Mommy."

"Wh-What?" Fluttershy blinked.

"If I'm supposed to be Mommy, then the baby has to call me Mommy." Rainbow Dash added.

"Oh... Sorry M-Mommy..." She quickly apologized.

Without responding to her apology, Rainbow Dash leaned down and opened the cabinets under the table. Taking a look inside she found the box full of unused pacifiers and decided to dip her hand into the box looking for something important.

The rummaging continued until she managed to find a large yellow pacifier stuck at the bottom of the box, piled on by the rest of the pacifiers of all different sizes and colors. Happy with what she found, she leaned back up and closed the cabinet doors. Rainbow Dash presented the pacifier to her friend who gave no reaction to it whatsoever. She aimed the amber nipple at her friends mouth and slowly pushed it in completely.

Fluttershy didn't know what to do now that she had a pacifier stuck in her mouth. Her ability to speak was drowned out by the large amber nipple protruding inwards and her saliva was slowly escaping her mouth, causing her to drool. Rainbow Dash let loose of her small hug and took a step back to see her giant baby.

"Aww... Does wittle Fwuttershy wanna pway wif some toys? Let's get you off dat changin' table and put you in da cwib!" Rainbow Dash continued her use of baby talk and grabbed one of Fluttershy's hands, she gently pulled her up from her seat and helped her down onto the ground.

Still unsure of what to do, Fluttershy looked around still being held in place by Rainbow Dash and proceeded to suck on the pacifier. The dry nipple was wet enough and the taste of rubber started to disappear in favor for the strawberry lipstick she put on.

"C'mon Fwuttershy, I gotta put you in da cwib." Rainbow Dash was determined to milk this impression as much as she was able to. Fluttershy on the other hand had ideas of her own.

"Umph... Dadshie?" Upon trying to speak her voice was immediately drowned out by the noises of her own suckling, the nipple in her mouth distorted her words and broke her voice to make her seem more infantile. Rainbow Dash stood in her place and slowly turned round to see Fluttershy staggering behind.

"What's wrong?" Rainbow Dash walked back up to her best friend and put a hand on her shoulder.

"I c-can't do dish..." Her face began to slowly burn up into a bright red color, the pacifier in her mouth and the thick diaper wrapped around her tush just made her feel so odd and out of place. She couldn't do this alone.

"Wait." Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. She moved her hand off her friends shoulder and wrapped her fingers round the plastic handle and plucked it out of her mouth, resulting in a very loud popping sound. "What do you want to say?"

"I don't think I can do this Dashie." Fluttershy was shaking, her naked legs were visibly moving from side to side.

"Ugh..." Rainbow Dash appropriately groaned, using her other hand to correctly face palm. "Why not!?"

"I'm really sorry Dashie, I'm trying to be really brave, honest I am, but I feel funny in my little tummy." Fluttershy took a deep breath and explained her woes, she patted her stomach and weakly nodded to reassure herself.

"Is it because I undressed you? C'mon, I know you haven't waxed down there in quite a while, but that ain't nothing to be ashamed of-"

"No, no, Dashie. I just... I well..." She couldn't find her words, this was making the problem even worse. "The food... It didn't do anything... But you know I'm really good at being a Mommy... I'm not used to doing something like this before-"

"Stop." Rainbow held up her hand and objected rather loudly. Fluttershy froze into position and kept herself quiet. "We had an agreement that we'd do somethin' else no matter what Fluttershy. But if I gotta compromise tonight and do something extra t'keep you in diapers, I've got a brilliant idea."

"You do?" Her eyes widened.

"Sure." Rainbow Dash nodded and began to grin. "You obviously need a playmate."

"Playmate?" Fluttershy questioned.

"Yeah. I'm honestly starting to get bored of being a Mommy already and I want to wear a diaper again. No offense Fluttershy, but I thought this'd be more fun than I imagined." She started to shrug. "Maybe I'm just not that type of person to be a Mommy, but that doesn't mean we can't be babies together."

"That's okay Dashie. I understand that this isn't for everyone. But erm... You didn't do much as a Mommy to begin with..." Fluttershy felt a strange wave of comfort come over her now that Rainbow's role as Mommy had now been stopped. There was a chance for her to get back in the net and look after her little baby again.

"I know 'Shy, I'm just getting really bored and after eating that pizza I wanna just lie down and rest with a bottle in my mouth." Rainbow Dash returned the pacifier back to Fluttershy and put it in her hands. She walked over to the changing table, leaned down to the cabinet and pulled out a thick white diaper from under the table.

She climbed up onto the surface of the table and slowly lowered herself onto the changing mat, her legs slightly widened up and simply relaxed herself.

Fluttershy took a deep breath knowing what was about to come from this, half of the job was already done seeing that Rainbow Dash had already taken off her trousers and shoes just leaving her in just her tanktop and underwear. She slowly mulled up to the changing table and politely took the diaper out of her friends hands.

Not knowing where to begin with Rainbow Dash she unfolded the diaper to hear the loud plastic crickling noises, her focus was taken off Rainbow Dash and now it was all about the diaper itself. Her body was shaking during this moment, not only the soft padding around her tush was starting to get to her, but holding a second diaper in her hands felt like a sensory overload.

"Right... Here we go Dashie a nice big diaper for my little baby girl." Feeling pleased with her efforts to unfold the undergarment, she now turned to look back at her little baby and proceeded to smile.

Rainbow Dash had never felt some comfortable in her life, the soft material hugging her backside and crotch area was just too good to be true. The spongy material she was lying on was just simply elevating the feelings she was experiencing. But an even better solution to this was to rest properly, her legs felt slightly numb as they flopped over the edge of the table, her diaper was taped up tightly and now Fluttershy stood next to her with a lovely smile on her face.

With the remaining strength she had in her body Rainbow Dash put her hands on each side of the changing table and pushed herself up with little determination. Every move she made caused the crinkling to become louder and louder no matter how far she went.

"Are you alright Dashie? I hope you are feeling okay." Flutttershy took the time to speak, seeing Rainbow Dash looked so phased out seemed rather strange.

"I feel fine." She replied. "I feel so comfortable... Man, this diaper just feels so comfortable.. We should just chillout in the crib and have some fun."

Rainbow Dash slowly emerged and stomped her feet on the ground, her body shuffled slightly and she stood back on the ground once more. She put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly at Fluttershy.

"So... What do we do now?" Fluttershy asked.

"We do whatever we wanna do. Crawl around the nursery, drink from bottles, play with toys, talk about stuff. Y'know, stuff that a baby does." Rainbow Dash took a step forward and got close up to Fluttershy, both diapers crinkled at the same time causing only Fluttershy to blush a bright red.

"Uh... Do you want to play with some of the toys? I have some new teddy bears we could play with." Fluttershy was still unsure of this.

She pointed towards the novelty treasure chest over by the nursery windows and Rainbow Dash turned to look at it too. A small smile grew on her face and she soon waddled her way over to the chest and used her barefeet to kick it wide open, revealing the piles of toys stored inside.

"C'mon Fluttershy. Let's play."

Now surrounded by an ocean of plastic and cotton alike, toys of all sizes and ranges were scattered across the floor. Dolls and large teddies were positioned stragetically on the floor with two overgrown infants tending to them.

Now minding her own business, Rainbow Dash was surrounded by a pile of Lego bricks ranging from different colors and shapes. Using a large part of the floor availiable to her she put the bricks into place and started to form what appeared to be a house made from a combination of red and blue bricks. Keeping her quiet on the other hand wasn't just the concentration of placing a few blocks together. A light pink pacifier was stuffed in her mouth, she carelessly made loud suckling noises as she continued playing.

Back on the other side of the nursery was something a little more peaceful. Sitting down on the carpet was Fluttershy.

Everything she did caused something to happen, this was irritating. Whenever her legs moved, the diaper she wore would crinkle. If she squeezed the large teddy bear wrapped in her arms, it would emit a loud sqeaking noise from the inside. She didn't want to do ruin her friends playtime no matter what the cost.

Staring constantly and endlessly at her best friend who was still busy with the pile of bricks was making her feel warm inside, just looking at her innocent smile and her obvious fascination with the bricks as they formed and pieced together was just strange. Fluttershy couldn't help but blush at the sight of it.

But thinking back even more to previous times, there was that kiss.

This made her insides turn to mush whenever she thought about Rainbow's lips connecting with her cheek, causing a flurry of blood and heat to pass through her forehead at an insane speed. The new thoughts in her head were strange, yes, but they made her tighten her weak grip on the teddy bear causing it to squeak louder than before.

The pacifier in her mouth didn't help, she knew that something was different and her best friend wanted her to swap roles, but that didn't feel right at all, not at all.

Before she could even think of what to do next, a feeling came over her, this feeling was strange. It was as if someone was creeping up on her despite no one else being in the room besides Rainbow Dash. Her stomach continued to turn and twist at the thoughts of her best friend, she started to feel sick and scared at the rumbling inside.

A pair hands soon appeared from behind her and wrapped their smooth fingers around her thin waist. Fluttershy quickly tried to yelp but the pacifier in her mouth stopped her from doing so. She could feel the air behind her turn warm and blow her air apart.

"What'cha doing Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash quickly leaned over the shoulder of her best friend and took a peek at what was infront of her. Fluttershy continued to suckle on the pacifier quietly and diverted her eyes away from her leaning friend.

"Nushin' Dusshie..."

"Aww. You sound so cute with that pacifier in your mouth." Rainbow Dash chuckled. She reached over to Fluttershy's face and slightly pinched her cheek.

Fluttershy quickly jolted to the side and wrapped her arms round the teddy bear and held it close to her chest, her cheeks became a bright red as she did so. Rainbow Dash on the other hand readjusted herself and sat down on her diapered rump, she checked the tapes on the front and leaned back to relax.

"What are you doing playing with just a teddy bear? There's a whole chest full'a toys and cuddly stuff all for you. I found loads more Lego blocks so I'm having fun with that. C'mon." Rainbow Dash pointed at the treasure chest and looked down at her diaper again. "Gee, I think the milkshake and the beers I had are going to start doing their work anytime soon."

"Dish yu pee didde?" Fluttershy spoke through her pacifier. Rainbow didn't understand what she said and yanked her friends pacifier out of her mouth. "I mean... hehe. Did you wet your diaper yet? I can change you, if you like."

"Nope." Rainbow Dash shook her head. "If I do, you'll know, and I'm going to stay in it for a while after."

"Why?" Fluttershy asked.

"Dunno." Rainbow Dash shrugged. "I guess that's what babies do, just lie around and wait for their Mommy to change them. But screw that!" She crawled over to the toybox and leaned up to reach inside for the box's contents. For the element of surprise to kick in, Rainbow Dash kept her head facing Fluttershy as she explored the toy box, it didn't take long for Rainbow Dash to pull out a new toy for both of them to play with.

"Ooh. Check this out!" Rainbow Dash took hold of the item and presented it to Fluttershy.

"Oh my." Fluttershy smiled.

Rainbow Dash crawled back over to Fluttershy and sat beside her with the new toy in hand. She put the toy down on the floor in front of Fluttershy and stretched her arms and legs out in front of her.

Fluttershy leaned forward and picked up the toy and held it close to her chest. She smiled and looked at Rainbow Dash, who was lying on her side keeping her eyes on Fluttershy.

"This toy looks just like Angel, how did you know where to find this?" Fluttershy asked.

"Found it a while ago in the toy box so I saved it for the occasion." Rainbow Dash shrugged.

"That's very nice." Fluttershy smiled.

"Yeah." Rainbow Dash reached out in front of her and took the Teddy Bear that Fluttershy played with a minute ago and wrapped her arms around it's sides, causing it to make a loud squeaking noise and Rainbow Dash tightened her grip on it. Fluttershy giggled a little and placed the soft rabbit plush on her lap, trying her best not to make her diaper crinkle anymore than it should do.

Rainbow Dash then got up and sat on her bottom and crossed her legs, she kept the Teddy in the spare space she had thanks to her crossed legs and rested her arm on the top of the bear and leaned back slightly.

"Ooh yeah." Rainbow Dash smiled and closed her eyes, she tipped her head back and looked up at the nursery ceiling. Fluttershy heard a slight hissing noise come from Rainbow Dash and tried to figure out what it was.

"Is something wrong Dashie?" Fluttershy asked her friend.

"No. I feel fine." Rainbow Dash opened her eyes and the hissing noise stopped. She let out a sigh of relief and moved the Teddy out of her legs to reveal the light yellow wet patch on the front of her diaper.

"Oh no. You've wet your diaper." Fluttershy pointed out.

"I know." Rainbow Dash nodded. "Feels really warm... And squishy." She giggled.

Fluttershy blushed at this.

"Oh... Do you want me to change you?" Fluttershy offered.

"Nah." Rainbow Dash shook her head. "I want to stay in my diaper for a while."

"Are you sure?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yep." She nodded in reply. "I was like this earlier today and it didn't hurt me at all."

Fluttershy didn't reply after that, she looked at Rainbow's wet diaper one more time and took a good look at the wet patch on the front. It wasn't that much of a problem and it didn't look like Rainbow went that much, the yellow area stuck out like a sore thumb and her obligation to look after her babies was pressed in her mind.

Rainbow Dash on the other hand slid her hand down to the front of her diaper and pressed against it with one finger and felt the squishy padding now that it was wet. After that, she left it alone and drawn more attention to the Teddy Bear and hugged it again. With a free hand, she put her pacifier back into her mouth and suckled on it loudly.

Fluttershy let out a small sigh and hugged the white bunny rabbit in her arms. She couldn't explain it, but there was something going through her mind and it was making her crazy. She took a quick glance at Rainbow Dash who was lying on her backside facing up at the ceiling again, she held the Teddy Bear up in the air with it also facing her.

There was something about her that made her attractive and so cute, it was causing that strange pain in her stomach again and it wouldn't stop.

Her breathing suddenly got deeper and much more heavier. She dropped the white bunny and put it on the floor and wrapped her arms around her stomach, this can't go on for longer, she needed a place to calm down and remove herself away from Rainbow Dash.

"I've got to go." Fluttershy spoke out loud, no reason or intent to anyone in the room, she just simply spoke out. Rainbow Dash stopped what she was doing and looked at her friend.

"Go? Like... What? In your diaper or something?" Rainbow Dash moved her pacifier to one side and leaned up, with the Teddy beside her.

"No... I need to go to the bathroom." Fluttershy turned, but kept her head down to avoid looking at Rainbow Dash.

"Don't worry. Your diaper is gonna hold it all, whatever is it." She rolled her eyes and chuckled.

After that, Fluttershy looked up one more time to see Dashie sitting up with her pacifier wrapped round her neck, legs spread out slightly to avoid squishing her wet diaper and her arm around the bear. This caused even more pain. She then turned away and closed the Nursery door and left the room.

Rainbow Dash blinked at what she saw and went back to suckling her pacifier for the moment being.

A Few Minutes Later...

Rainbow Dash walked up to the bathroom door and breathed in. She put her left hand on her hip and nodded her head in self-approval to her own thoughts, she used her right hand to knock on the door with three consecutive light taps and heard something move on the other side of the door.

She cleared her throat and leaned against the wall beside her, keeping her head balance with her free hand.

"Listen, Fluttershy, I'm just wondering what's taking you so long. Not tryin' to be nosy or anything it's just that you've been inside there for at least fifthteen minutes now." Rainbow Dash paused for a moment and heard no response come from the other side. "If it's about my wet diaper, then no need to panic. I've changed myself."

...

...

"That tears it." Rainbow Dash frowned. She grabbed onto the doorknob and twisted it, the door clicked, it slowly slid open and revealed the whole of the bathroom. Rainbow Dash walked in and found no one, confused, she turned round and headed out but she noticed a pink and yellow blur in the corner of her eye.

She stopped in her tracks and slowly turned round and looked in the corner of the bathroom, next to the bathtub she saw Fluttershy with her pacifier stuffed in her mouth, hands clenched into her stomach curled up in the corner perfectly. Rainbow Dash quickly knelt down over to her scared friend and tried to reach out for her, but Fluttershy quickly turned away.

"What's wrong? Has something happened?" Rainbow Dash tried to reach out for her friend once again but was still rejected by Fluttershy's twisting and turning. "Fluttershy! If you don't tell me what's wrong then I can't help you!"

Rainbow Dash leaned up, still on her knees, she rested her arm on the side of the bathtub and kept her eyes dead on Fluttershy.

"Is it something I said? You're starting to worry me! C'mon! Just say something Fluttershy. Anything! Please!" Rainbow Dash leaned forward and slowly ebbed closer to Fluttershy and forcefully grabbed onto her arm tightly, Rainbow used her other arm and managed to place it on her shoulder and managed to get a full grip on her completely.

Fluttershy's breathing quickly sped up and it instantly became deep and louder than before. She let go of her stomach and spat out her pacifier, only to have it dangle around her neck on it's pendant. Her pupils grew larger and her mouth dropped open.

Rainbow Dash got as close as possible to her friend, she could feel Fluttershy's breath hit against her.

"What's wrong with you? Just tell me! Tell me!"

"I- I'm really sorry Dashie." Fluttershy sobbed. "My tummy hurts so much."

"Hey, hey, hey. Don't worry, you'll be fine. I'm sure the pizza you ate a while ago will settle down, you're not as used to junk food like I am." Rainbow Dash put her hand under her friends chin and raised her head, both meeting eye-to-eye.

"No." Fluttershy looked away from Rainbow Dash and wiped a tear from her face. "It's because of you."

"Me?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"My tummy hurts when I look at you... I can't stop thinking about you Dashie and it hurts to no end." Fluttershy sniffled. She wiped away a few more tears from her face and stood up. She shuffled over to the toilet and sat on top of it.

"What do you mean?" Rainbow Dash asked. She knelt down and rested on her knees in front of Fluttershy, softly resting her head on her legs.

"It's silly." Fluttershy whimpered. "I don't want to make things worse."

"C'mon, you can tell me. Just spill the beans, doesn't matter what it is and I promise no matter what, I'll always be there for you." Rainbow Dash placed her hand on Fluttershy's lap and put it on top of her friends hand.

Fluttershy sniffled and cleared her throat, she stared directly into Rainbow's eyes and wrapped her fingers around her hand.

"Dashie... You've been the best friend I've ever had. We've known each other since we were kids, you have always been there for me. When I was bullied, you came and protected me. When I was in trouble, you were always there." Fluttershy felt more tears descend from her face. Her lip quivered slightly and she sighed. "You have been always there for me. And when I look after you when we do our special thing, I don't see you anymore."

Rainbow Dash stopped breathing.

"I see the most beautiful woman in the whole of Equestria and..." Fluttershy bit her lip. "I... I love you Rainbow Dash, I love you so much, for everything."

To Be Continued...

Chapter Seventeen

Meanwhile...

"And here we are!" Cheerilee announced as she twisted the school keys into the classroom door, Rainbow Dash crossed her arms and impatiently tapped her foot as she was waiting for Cheerilee to open the school doors.

Rainbow turned to see that Cheerilee opened the classroom doors and soon followed the teacher into the building; she took a good look at the entire classroom as she walked in. There were five rows of chairs and tables made for small children around Scootaloo's size, all the chairs were neatly tucked right under the isolated square tables with one pencil and a ruler right on the top ready for the children to use.

Cheerilee walked over to the big table, it was on the other side of the classroom and it had the most paperwork on it, she pulled out the rather large wooden chair and sat down on it. She then pulled up her purse and placed it on the top of the table and then began to sort out the paper that was terribly littered on it.

"These classrooms ain't changed much ever since I left." Rainbow Dash broke the silence, she walked up to the big desk Cheerilee was sitting at and lifted herself up onto the edge on the desk and sat down on top of some of the paper Cheerilee was sorting out.

"Yes, the schools in Canterbury are much better, they have interactive whiteboards with projectors attached to the ceiling and actual places where the children can go eat. Some schools even have cafeterias, pretty top notch stuff funded by the Princesses themselves." Cheerilee huffed; she noticed that Rainbow Dash was sitting down on some of the paper that she needed to work on.

"I don't remember much of my old school." Rainbow Dash was interested, she was looking at all of the posters and drawings that were posted up all over the walls that were drawn by the kids. "I just remember meeting Fluttershy and that's it."

"I remember Berry Punch introducing me to Lyra and Derpy; they were surely a troublesome duo." Cheerilee smiled, and then frowned a little. She needed the papers that Rainbow Dash was sitting on; she grabbed onto a paper and began to slide it from under Rainbow's bottom. "Could you also get off my desk; babies aren't allowed to go near my desk." She playfully giggled.

"What if I don't get off your desk?" Rainbow asked Cheerilee, slowly picking up on her playful behaviour.

"Detention or you'll be forced to sit on the naughty chair." Cheerilee moved back to her papers and began to silently read them.

"Fine..." Rainbow rolled her eyes and jumped off the table, she then decided to walk around, she started to walk up to the children’s desks and took a good look at them. She quickly turned back to face Cheerilee. "Which one is Scootaloo's desk?"

"Can't tell you, it's private." Cheerilee said.

"C'mon, I'm her best friend." Rainbow smiled in defeat.

"No." Cheerilee put her head up and looked at Rainbow Dash opening the lids of the school desks. "I can't tell you her grades, only her actual parents and family."

"So Fluttershy gets to know her grades?" Rainbow slammed one of the desktops back and looked up at Cheerilee.

"Legally, it's her foster parents that are only allowed to know. Fluttershy gets to know when Scootaloo is adopted, now please... I'm trying to sort out these adoption letters that were mailed to me from the mayor." Cheerilee started to get impatient, she now got her head back in concentration and began to read the papers.

"What? She just walked in here without you knowing the put the letters down on your desk?" Rainbow sighed impatiently; she crossed her arms and walked back over to the big desk. She hollered over Cheerilee and began to read out the letter.

"Apparently so..." Cheerilee muttered, she was now fully concentrating on the work, but Rainbow Dash was still a major distraction.

Rainbow Dash and Cheerilee did not speak to each for at least a minute, the whole entire classroom was silent, and Rainbow tapped her foot, crossing her arms and pulled open her running shorts to check on her diaper for a split second while Cheerilee continued on with her work.

Rainbow now decided to dig into her hoodie pockets and reach for her pacifier; she grabbed onto it by ringing her fingers onto the handle and pulled it out of her pocket. She then inserted it into her mouth and began to suckle on it loudly, this interrupted Cheerilee, and she looked up to see that Rainbow Dash had put her pacifier back into her mouth.

"What are you doing?" Cheerilee spoke; she put down her pen and paper and watched Rainbow Dash suck on her pacifier.

"What does it look like?" Rainbow pushed the pacifier to one side of her mouth.

"I thought you'd be scared if anyone but Fluttershy saw you do that." Cheerilee said.

"I don't care." Rainbow shrugged her shoulders and walked over to Cheerilee, she then decided to sit down on Cheerilee's lap like a child. This caused the teacher to blush a bright red.

"Rainbow get off! I'm busy!" Cheerilee frowned, she tried to push off Rainbow from her lap but it was no use. She wrapped her arms around the teacher and giggled through her pacifier as she held on tight to the teacher.

Cheerilee gave up, it was no use, whatever she seemed to do made Rainbow Dash hug her tighter and tighter. Knowing that she was weaker than her and nothing good would ever come out of pushing her off her lap she just stopped altogether. Cheerilee leaned back in her chair and huffed.

"Why don't you just go bother Pinkie Pie or something? I'm sure she'd like to see you in diapers... or even go see Applejack, I'm sure that she'd like to laugh at your stupid behaviour." Cheerilee mumbled down Rainbow's ear.

"I just want to hug you, what's wrong with that?" Rainbow plucked her pacifier out of her mouth and wrapped her fingers round the handle.

"You're stopping me from grading my students spelling tests, that's what you're doing!" Cheerilee raised her voice, causing Rainbow to flinch backwards a little.

"C'mon Cheerilee..." Rainbow tried to cheer her friend up. "I'm not askin' you to change my diaper or something, just give me a nice big hug."

"If I give you a hug, will you leave me alone? I hate to be so mean, but my students will arrive in five minutes and I don't want them to see you sitting on top of me like a child who scraped their knee." Cheerilee lowered her voice, she sighed once more and wrapped her arms around Rainbow Dash and lightly squeezed her. Rainbow hugged Cheerilee and smiled; she put her pacifier back into her mouth and began to suckle on it.

"Thanks Cheerilee!" Rainbow Dash let go of the teacher and smiled through her pacifier.

"Right, my students should be here soon, could you please leave and I will see you later." Cheerilee also let go of Rainbow Dash and then waited for her to move off her lap.

Rainbow started to lift herself up and began to walk towards the classroom exit, as she walked away from the big desk Cheerilee leaned forward and watched her friends padded rear waddle from side to side.

"Rainbow!" Cheerilee called out, Rainbow Dash turned round to see what her friend wanted.

"Yeah?"

"You're an annoyingly cute diaper girl..."

"Can't help being cute."

"Just don't pee yourself in public."

"I'll try..."

...

"By the way Cheerilee..."

"Yes?"

"What's your kink?"

"Give me a ruler, dress up in a sexy school uniform, act like a naughty school girl and I'll show you..."

"Are you... uh... feeling a little better? Is my hand holding your hand too tight?" Fluttershy blushed, she held on tightly to Scootaloo's hand as they both walked down the main town path towards the Rumsville School. Scootaloo was now dressed up in her school uniform and skirt feeling happy; she noticed that people and other children that she knew from school were looking at her and Fluttershy.

"I'm okay Mom!" Scootaloo nodded and smiled at her mother and felt all warm inside, she was nearly at school and she couldn't wait for her friends to see her with her Mom.

"So what do I do when we get to school? Do I take you into your classroom or are you allowed to run around in the playground?" Fluttershy asked her child.

"Oh, you can take me into the classroom, but sometimes we're allowed to stay in the playground. Ooh! Ooh! We can talk to Cheerilee and I can tell her that you're my new mommy!" Scootaloo had so many amazing ideas, she wanted to tell her teacher and then introduce Fluttershy to Applebloom and Sweetie Belle, it couldn't be any more perfect.

But as Fluttershy and Scootaloo crossed the street, finally nearing the school and hearing the echo's and distant laughter of children, they both saw a rainbow haired figure walking down the same side of the street.

"Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo yelled out and pointed at her idol, Fluttershy squinted her eyes and realized who it was that was approaching them.

"Hey Scoots! Hey Fluttershy!" Rainbow Dash greeted her best friends, she firstly walked up to Fluttershy and gave her a quick hug and then ruffled Scootaloo's nicely combed hair a little.

"Hello Rainbow Dash, how are you today?" Fluttershy asked.

"I'm fine I guess... are you taking Scoots to school?" Rainbow Dash looked at Scootaloo and smiled at her.

"Yep! My new Mom is taking me to school! It's gonna be awesome!" Scootaloo jumped up in the air with her hand still locked to Fluttershy's.

"Is she now?" Rainbow chuckled.

"Yeah! My friends are gonna be blown away at how cool Fluttershy is!" Scootaloo kept on raising her voice, she looked so excited.

"Oh my..." Fluttershy blushed a bright red across her cheeks; she had never heard anyone say something like that about her before.

Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy looked at each other, both of them looking like they were about to laugh. Rainbow rolled her eyes and then yawned out loud.

"Right, I ain't gonna stop ya' from going to school. Just promise me Scoots that you'll try and do better, I did speak to Cheerilee about your grades but she ain't squealin' at how good your grades really are." Rainbow Dash stretched her arms up into the air and then lowered them to ruffle up Scootaloo's hair even more.

"I promise! My Mom put some special books in my bag to help me read better, they're cool." Scootaloo nodded.

"See ya' later, hey Fluttershy..."

"Yes Dashie?"

"Don't forget about the meeting, I'll hang around town hall after you drop off Scoots at school."

"Don't worry Rainbow Dash, I didn't forget about the meeting."

"Cool. I'll see both of you later."

"Bye Rainbow Dash!" Scootaloo waved as her friend walked over to the opposite side of the road and began to walk into town.

As Rainbow Dash began to fade out of their sights, both Fluttershy and Scootaloo continued on to make their way to the school. They crossed one final road and made it to the school; they could see so many children playing inside. The entire area was surrounded by a friendly looking wooden fence so that the children couldn't run off, in the middle of it all there was an opening with a small gate where people and children are able to enter and leave.

Fluttershy was the first one to enter the school grounds, Scootaloo slowly followed in feeling like the best child in the entire world. Her world could explode at any minute as the children in the playground swinging on the swings and sliding down the slides were noting Scootaloo with her new adult visitor.

Fluttershy blushed as the children around the playground started to look at her and Scootaloo; she started to feel a little strange on the inside. So many eyes looking at her was starting to make her fluster up, her temperature began to rise in slight embarrassment.

Cheerilee opened the front door and poked her head out to see the children playing outside, more notably Fluttershy and Scootaloo standing together hand-at-hand. The teacher began to smile and then looked at the children around the playground, she fully opened the doors and stood aside and cleared her throat.

"Okay children! Time to come in!" Cheerilee raised her voice and yelled out to the children, all of them complied and began to stop what they were doing and started to make their way towards the school doors. All in a muddle they all ran in one-by-one as it left Scootaloo and Fluttershy alone with Cheerilee.

"Alright children! Get your pencils and crayons out and continue on with your map of Equestria while I talk to Scootaloo and Fluttershy!" Cheerilee leaned her head into the classroom and told her students.

Cheerilee closed both school doors slightly so that she could still hear the children from the outside and walked over to Scootaloo and Fluttershy with a smile.

"Hello Fluttershy, how are you doing today?" Cheerilee greeted her friend.

"Hello Cheerilee, I'm here to drop off Scootaloo today... I wasn't sure if I had to come into the classroom and wait until the lesson started... I'm really sorry..." She quickly apologized to the teacher while still holding onto her daughter’s hand.

"It's okay Fluttershy, all you have to do is let Scootaloo come through the gate and then watch her in the playground until she comes into school." Cheerilee kneeled down in front of Scootaloo and placed her hand on her shoulder. "How are you doing today Scootaloo?"

"Uh... I... er..." Scootaloo blushed, she didn't know how to react, she cowered behind Fluttershy's legs from the teacher and hugged her mother.

"Oh... what's wrong Scootaloo? Did I scare you?" Cheerilee got back up on her feet and took a step back, allowing Scootaloo to move from Fluttershy's legs.

"Cheerilee..." Fluttershy whispered.

"Yes Fluttershy?" Cheerilee replied.

"Uhm... I was wondering if you know any places where Scootaloo could read some books? ... I found some reading books for Scootaloo... and I don't know if you could help her read them... I was just hoping to help her read better..." As Fluttershy spoke to Cheerilee she reached within Scootaloo's backpack and pulled out three books with childish images of caterpillars, butterflies and the letters A, B and C all on each book separately. She handed them to Cheerilee and the teacher started to open them up and skim through the pages, an even bigger smile came to her face when she looked back up.

"These are excellent Fluttershy! Where did you get them from?" Cheerilee asked.

"The Rumsville Baby Store..." Fluttershy said, Scootaloo began to blush.

"Oh..." Cheerilee raised an eyebrow. "I see... Its okay Scootaloo, you don't have to be ashamed. Cheerilee kneeled down once more. "If it makes you feel better, I'll gladly help you read at playtime. Just stay in after class and we can start reading the books together."

"Okay Miss Cheerilee..." Scootaloo barely spoke, she whispered to her teacher in a similar way Fluttershy would whisper.

Scootaloo shyly let go of Fluttershy's hand and walked over to Cheerilee and looked away, she continued past Cheerilee and walked into the school building.

"Thank you for dropping off Scootaloo, I must go back inside now and look after my class, I'll make sure Scootaloo and I sit down and read the books together."

"Thank you so much Cheerilee..."

"Not a problem."

One Hour Later...

Everything was now quiet, Scootaloo had gone to school with the knowledge that her teacher Cheerilee would help her through the most desperate of times and now it was nearly time for the big meeting at town hall. This was the busiest part of town, and Fluttershy didn't like it.

As she got deeper into town, all of the small cottages and houses slowly transformed into larger and much taller buildings as she got closer to her destination, shops and markets were littered all over as the town hall was in her sights. It was the tallest building in Rumsville, outside of the hall was a massive town square, where most people would pass by to get to their jobs accordingly. The stone slabs that made up the normal pavement slowly changed into a brick layered flooring that spread out a good distance between the buildings and the town hall, almost separating them completely.

In the middle of the square was a fountain with the statue of a woman standing on a high pedestal, water was dropping out of the statues eyes and mouth and random coins seemingly dropped into by the people that quickly passed by.

Public benches and tables were spread around the square which allowed people to sit down and rest in the wake of so many people running, talking, playing and passing by. Fluttershy knew she had an hour left so a small rest on one of the tables was a good way to start; she walked through a crowd of people and made her way to a bench that no one was using.

Fluttershy climbed in and tucked herself into the bench and rested herself, she exhaled loudly and breathed in through her nose.

She scanned the area as she breathed in and out and took a good look at the people and buildings surrounding her, she saw a restaurant on the other side of the square, it was most unusual, she had never seen it before. It was a lightly coloured building that was delicately painted by bright colours that looked like they had come from a rainbow, on top of the building was a massive sign and a large wooden image of a chocolate milkshake that was stationed on a platform. Next to the image of the milkshake were bright neon lights reading out "THE MILKY WAY!"

Thinking it would be a better idea to have a drink rather than sit outside, she got up from the bench and began to make her way through the more-than-ever busier crowd towards the building. She made it to the front doors and slowly opened them and entered the building, a bell at the top of the door rang out loud which startled Fluttershy, she quickly got through the walked towards the bar.

No one seemed to be at the bar, smooth melodic music was playing from the speakers from the corner of the room and the whole inside of the building was lit up by even more neon lights which made the bar look like a disco, she rubbed her arm in confusion at the lights and picked up one of the menu's that were resting on the bar and made her way to the nearest table.

"Hey Fluttershy! Over here!" A voice called, Fluttershy froze herself and slowly turned round before she sat down on one of the tables she was standing next to. She looked for the source of the voice and she saw a familiar friend wearing her signature blue hoodie, the suckling of a baby pacifier cemented who it was, it was Rainbow Dash!

Fluttershy saw Rainbow Dash sitting down alone on a table in the corner of the store; she was sitting down on a leather chair that was attached to the wall with a few items surrounding her. She had a large plastic shopping bag right next to where she was sitting, and on the table in front of her happened to be a large plate with slices of warm cheese pizza ready at her fingertips.

"Oh Rainbow Dash... it's nice to see you here..." Fluttershy smiled, she sat down on a chair opposite the table and looked at her best friend, Rainbow's hoodie was hung over her head and it was hard to see her eyes.

"You waitin' for the meeting?" Rainbow asked; she spoke around her pacifier while still creating loud suckles.

"Yes, I just dropped off Scootaloo at school." Fluttershy replied.

"Cool, I'm just eating breakfast." She plucked her pacifier out of her mouth, causing a loud pop from her mouth. She wrapped her fingers round the pacifier and picked up a pizza slice with her other hand and shoved it into her mouth.

"Breakfast?" Fluttershy was confused, she had never heard of pizza being a way of getting energy early in the morning. "But pizza isn't healthy for you... why don't you have some nice warm porridge for breakfast instead?"

"Nah, I like pizza more than porridge. It gives me loads of energy and it's so awesome when you get the cheese in your mouth." Rainbow Dash spoke; her mouth was full with chewed up pizza, dribble and pizza parts fell out of her mouth.

"Uh Dashie... If you don't mind me asking... uh..." Fluttershy looked at the shopping bag and wondered what was inside, she pointed at the bag and Rainbow turned to face it too, she picked it up and dipped her hand into it.

"What's in the bag? I got some money outta' my piggy bank back at my apartment and bought loads of baby stuff for myself." Rainbow secretly started to pull out some of the items from within the bag, the placed a pack of baby wipes, extra pacifiers, teething rings, extra-large baby bottles and a pack of diapers onto the table. Fluttershy was impressed with what she had bought; all these items were what a baby perfectly needed.

"You spent your money on these items? Dashie... you could have asked me if you want some baby supplies..." Fluttershy reached over to the pack of diapers and inspected them.

"I know, but I didn't wanna borrow anything since ya' gotta look after Scootaloo." Rainbow started to grab her new items and shoved them back into the plastic bag; she grabbed the diapers off from Fluttershy and shoved them in also.

"Are you sure Dashie...? I mean, if you wanted to... you could have some of my baby supplies..." Fluttershy offered to her friend, but she didn't look so happy.

"Keep 'em, keep 'em for Scootaloo." Rainbow calmly repeated.

"Okay Rainbow Dash, I'm terribly sorry..." Fluttershy apologized.

"Don't worry about it, look: is it okay if I come with you into the meeting?"

"The meeting... I don't know, are you allowed to come with me?" Fluttershy put her fingers on her lips and thought for a moment.

"It should be cool; the mayor knows who we are!" Rainbow stood up and threw her arms up into the air.

"I think I would need someone to help me anyways Dashie, I mean... you're so much better than me when it comes to... ugh, talking."

"Yeah! You're right! Lemme go to the bathroom and change my diaper, I've been peeing in it since I woke up..." Rainbow quickly reached within her bag full of newly purchased baby supplies and ripped open the pack of large diapers and pulled a fresh diaper out, she ran out of the way and headed straight towards the restaurant bathroom.

Fluttershy sat down rather stunned at what she had just heard, her best friend was now using diapers just like how a baby uses them, and she couldn't help but add a small giggle and clear up everything for her friend. She grabbed the pizza box and closed it up to prevent the remaining slices from getting colder; she closed up the shopping bag and started to move herself away from the table.

Deep down inside, she couldn't feel anymore happier that Rainbow Dash still felt and acted like her own little baby, she just couldn't help but smile at the fact she had two little perfect babies to look after.

"Alright children! It's play-time!"

The first two lessons had finally finished, it was now play-time, and all the children in school got out of their seats as the school bell rang and ran towards the exit and made their way into the playground. The loud screams and cheers of the children echoed throughout the school.

Cheerilee was sitting down on her big desk, with a big red juicy apple in hand and the peace of quiet all to herself, she was starting to relax as she began to dig into the apple. She looked over the classroom to see Scootaloo sitting down on her desk.

"Hmm, delicious." Cheerilee got up from her chair and made her way to Scootaloo, but she got closer, she started to pick up pieces of paper littered carelessly by her students and placed them back on the correct desks. Now that she cleaned up parts of the floor, she walked over to Scootaloo and kneeled down and placed her hand on the child’s back.

Scootaloo was lying down on the job; she rested her head on her desk with her eyes closed. Cheerilee could see that Scootaloo was sleeping, plus, she knew of what would happen if she slept for too long.

"Scootaloo..." Cheerilee leaned her head next to the child’s ear. "Wake up please; it's time to read your new books..." She sang.

"Hrmm..."

"Please wake up; I don't want you to wet your undies in the middle of my classroom." Cheerilee continued to sing song, but as she stopped, Scootaloo raised her head off from the table; her perfectly short brushed hair was now ruffled up because she had been lying down on her desk. She opened her eyes to see her teacher standing in front of her with a soothing smile on her face.

"Cheerilee...?" Scootaloo yawned; she leaned back up on her chair and stretched her arms up into the air. "Did I pee myself?"

"No silly, it seems that you fell asleep in class again." Cheerilee wrapped her arm around Scootaloo and reassuringly hugged her to make her feel better.

"Oh..." The child rubbed her eyes. "Are we reading the books my mommy gave you?"

"Everyone is outside playing right now; we have ten minutes to start reading. Do you want to come and sit with me so we can start reading?" Cheerilee stood back up and patted Scootaloo on the back, she walked over to her big desk and opened one of the drawers and pulled out the three books that Fluttershy gave her.

Scootaloo felt refreshed, she had a good night’s sleep with her mother and now a quick nap at school. Her energy was seemingly coming back to her, just like her normal self, she stood up and walked over to the teacher’s desk where Cheerilee had sat down and stood next to her as she wondered to herself where she was going to sit down.

"Miss Cheerilee..."

"Yes Scootaloo?" She turned and faced the child with the books in hand.

"Where do I sit?"

"On my lap, silly." Cheerilee giggled. "I'm not going to bite."

Scootaloo was unsure whether she should sit on her teachers lap, but the fact was that she was holding the books that Fluttershy gave to her for reading. She wanted to make her mother proud by telling her that she can properly read them all like a big girl, she didn't want to stop.

"Okay..." Scootaloo sighed and nodded at the same time.

She walked over to her teacher and was carefully pulled up by Cheerilee, her hands wrapped around her waist as she was lightly lifted onto her teacher’s lap, as she was placed down, Scootaloo shuffled around a little to try and find a comfortable spot on Cheerilee's thin legs.

"Now, I just want to say Scootaloo that the books Fluttershy bought are basically books that you read to toddlers and very little children. Please don't be ashamed that you're reading baby books Scootaloo."

"Yes Miss Cheerilee..."

"Also, I know that it's hard when you aren't able to read properly. I feel so upset when children aren't properly educated, so I am going to do everything that I can possibly do to make sure that you feel happy in school, okay?"

"Yes Miss Cheerilee..."

"First off, we're going to read Itsy Bitsy Spider..."

To be continued...

The Final Chapter (Unfinished & Unreleased - August 2013 Draft)

Author's Note

READ THIS NOTICE

I'm releasing an old draft for the final chapter of Pattycakes: The Remake for all of you to see. This isn't finished in any type of form and it contains out of date ideas that I was using for the final chapter. Initially I was going to re-write this entire chapter so it could be paced better and some conversations were going to be added, removed, that sort of thing.

If you're looking for closure, this chapter isn't going to fill you. But Oliver-England has started his own version of an ending for Pattycakes: The Remake. And I urge you all to check it out if you want some sort of ending.

There are two other chapters that are unreleased which are the epilogues, split into part one and part two.

The Final Chapter (Unfinished & Unreleased - August 2013 Draft)

The sound of her pen rubbing off against the paper was loud and grating, the ticking of the clock was the worst thing to hear as the sound of the wind bash against her windows just added to the boredom she brought herself into. With a pile of paper beside her left and right it felt like no escape whatsoever.

She put down her pen on the wooden surface and gripped onto her glasses and placed them down on her desk, with a few blinks she proceeded to rub her eyes and let out a sigh. After she was done, she put her glasses back on and yawned.

The Mayor closed her eyes and slowly stretched her arms up into the air and leaned back into her office chair which resulted in it going backwards slightly. As she yawned the sound of giggling and laughter could be heard in her office, quickly, she leaned forward and opened her eyes in a small panic.

As she recollected herself she saw Cheerilee, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy standing by the office door all giving her unique looks. Cheerilee looked confused at what the Mayor was doing, Rainbow Dash had a smirk that she didn't even bother to hide and Fluttershy looked a little scared now that she was back in the office.

"Oh... Hello, sorry about that..." The Mayor blushed and picked up her pen and clicked the top. "I just felt like I needed to stretch a little."

"Looks like someone didn't get their coffee this morning." Rainbow Dash chuckled. "You been tryin' to work out this adoption stuff or what?"

"No Rainbow Dash..." The Mayor cupped her hand and placed it over her mouth and proceeded to yawn again. "...I just had trouble sleeping last night, this adoption process is the least of my concerns as of now. Its just trying to contact the foster parents... They aren't answering their phones or even responding to my letters."

"Forget 'em Mayor, we gotta do this adoption stuff then lets do it already." Rainbow Dash yelled out. She rolled her eyes and walked over to the office desk the Mayor was stationed at and rested her hands on the edge of the work desk.

"What's gotten into your diaper?" The Mayor chuckled.

"Nothing yet." Rainbow retorted.

"I'm sure we all don't want to know what goes in a diaper Rainbow Dash, just keep the potty-mouth humor to yourself." The Mayor smiled.

"Oh gee, why not mention I'm a really cranky baby and make the moment?" Rainbow Dash laughed to herself over her own joke, without looking behind herself, she took a step back from the desk an lowered herself onto the seat behind her and felt something dig up into her backside.

"Ooh, careful." The Mayor laughed.

Her cheeks started to blush a bright red as she felt something go up her backside, feeling as if she landed on a soft fluffy pillow. Her head turned to see that she had sat on top on Fluttershy without looking at her surroundings. Both of them blushed a bright red as the Mayor and Cheerilee lightly giggled at the sight of them.

Taking advantage of the situation with some excellent quick thinking, Rainbow Dash readjusted herself and wrapped her arms round Fluttershy in an attempt to hug her. Making it seem that this was done on purpose.

"How adorable, the baby is sitting down on mommies lap." The Mayor playfully announced.

Even Cheerilee herself found this to be quite amusing, taking her own seat opposite Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash she started to laugh under her breath at the sight of them sitting together.

"Heh, I'm not wearing a diaper yet. I'm wearin' my big girl undies until I get home."

"Okay, okay." The Mayor nodded. "Now that we have all the jokes out of the way, we can begin. Now, are we all ready to start?"

"I'm ready." Cheerilee said.

"Me too." Rainbow Dash smiled.

"Uh Y-Yes..." Fluttershy whispered.

Before the Mayor spoke to her audience, she picked up a few sheets of papers and rearranged them into the correct places and laid them back down onto the desk. Her throat was clear and her head was tipsy from her fatigue but she wanted to continue.

"Now I don't want to mention the previous meeting, I really don't, but I feel that since yesterday after coming round to your house Fluttershy and giving you the all-clear to this. I just want to go over a few things that weren't mentioned or discussed in the first meeting."

"Oh... S-Sure..." Fluttershy began to listen in, nodding her head to show that she was paying attention.

"These papers..." The Mayor started to pick up and push the papers to the edge of the desktop hung right over. Rainbow Dash grabbed one of the papers and took a quick read before handing it to Fluttershy. "These papers are for you Fluttershy."

"Oh um... Thank you Mayor..."

"Now. Onto actual business." The Mayor smiled and pushed her seat forward, digging her legs under the desktop and sitting upright to take a good look at the three adults before her. "Cheerilee is here with us today so we can finalize all forms of child support for Scootaloo. What I mean by this is that she shall be your legal guardian, say, if something bad happens to her then she will try and help you."

"Th-That sounds l-lovely..."

"My main role here in this meeting is to ask you whether your home has the appropriate living standards for a child such as Scootaloo. Myself, I personally know that you have a wonderful home. You have a nursery, clean kitchen, living room and two bedrooms that are both equipped with the right stuff. All I want you to do is write down a few details on this government slip and write down where provided."

"Uh-huh."

"I'll hand you the sheet and a pen, I don't want to impose anything too stressful upon you so you are allowed to take your time. And do feel free to ask questions on the parts your stuck on."

"Y-Yes..."

"Right.." The Mayor pulled out one of the sheets of paper and clicked the top of her pen. "Just before we start, are you feeling alright? Do you need a minute to collect your thoughts or anything like that? I can happily let you take a break if you feel a little bit panicked or worried."

"I f-feel okay Mayor..."

"Okay. I'm just concerned for your well-being Fluttershy. These are very tough moments to get through, but I assure you that once we've all finished here you can go home and relax."

"Okay..."

"Here you go."

The Mayor picked up the paper and handed it over to Fluttershy who picked up the pen, breathed in and then concentrated at the questions at hand. She started to write her name and got busy into filling the sheet despite Rainbow Dash still sitting on the edge of her lap.

"Now Rainbow Dash, what are you doing to do after all of this is finished."

"I dunno." Rainbow Dash shrugged. "I feel like goin' back to my apartment, strippin' off my clothes and sitting down on the couch with some beer in my hand."

"Are you just going to sit around in your diapers?"

"Yep." Rainbow Dash smirked. "Me and Fluttershy had some good time yesterday after you left. We snuggled up in bed watchin' TV."

"How adorable." The Mayor chuckled. "It still seems unreal to go through this adoption, back in my day, which is exactly thirty years ago there was a massive strive and need for us women to get pregnant and have children. As much as men needing to go out and purchase a house and support a family. Well, that was before all of this pop music and these silly fashion trends came in and changed everyone for what I say the better."

"Man, I wouldn't wanna live around you when you were younger."

"Well to be honest I was a bit of a bookworm. I guess you could say that I was like Twilight in some cases. I remember when all you of were actual children going to school together and then moving up into college, it is quite a sight to behold as time goes by."

"I don't remember that much about my old school, just college and all the wacky things we did."

"But its still remarkable to see the three of you starting out as little children with no clue of how the world works and then slowly climbing those ladders until you are fully blossomed women who are ready to take everything by the ropes. I wonder when all three of you find a man worthy of your standards and settle down with them."

"I don't think that'll happen for a while Mayor." Cheerilee added.

"On the contrary Cheerilee, by the time you hit your thirties then you'll see that it isn't always about the flashing lights and the alcohol. You've had your adult fun in your twenties and then there is a period where you grow tired of having that type of fun when you get to middle age. Ideas about having a family and a loved one come to mind and then you prepare for what comes next."

"I have a few years to go until I get to thirty so that shouldn't really be a problem."

"Most of the people in town who left college a few years ago are in their twenties, though this shouldn't worry any of you, I just wanted to talk about what comes after."

"I understand Mayor."

"And besides, we have the current generation, the little tykes that are currently in your school. I think its appropriate to say that Scootaloo's future should be discussed as this meeting is all about her."

"I'd like to know a few things about Scootaloo. Especially in these little diaper activities that she does, I'm just concerned about how far this is being taken."

Fluttershy paused for a moment and sighed, she leaned forward and passed the papers back to the Mayor along with the pen at the side. After doing so she turned her head and looked at Cheerilee.

"Fluttershy, I understand that you've been giving Scootaloo a lot of attention and so forth and that she is very receiving to this. But are these babying activities affecting her at all? I mean, it must be really weird for a growing child like her to regress back and merely act back into the state of a toddler. Are you handling this really well at all?"

"Uh... I think I am..."

The Mayor cleared her throat.

"Cheerilee, I can also add to this, I went round Fluttershy's cottage to see how Scootaloo was being looked after. I actually ran into the three of them in one of their little 'activities' and I must say: It was truly adorable. Little Scootaloo was dressed up in some dungarees with a little orange pacifier clipped to the edge of her shirt in the nursery. She looked so innocent playing with those baby toys and it was so nice to see a smile on her pretty little face."

Cheerilee turned back to look at Fluttershy.

"Uh-huh... Is this going to be a daily thing or a weekly thing? I mean, I'm sure that Scootaloo would love to be treated like an infant everyday. But are you going to do it every day with her or is there certain times and days that you are going to treat her like this."

"Uh... I mean I don't want to... You know... Treat her like that all the time... As much as I would love to... But I think she is a big girl and you know... Uh... She can make her own choice."

"I see." Cheerilee nodded. "And what about you Rainbow Dash?"

"Oh, I just come to her cottage on every Saturday afternoon and we get into our roles for a couple of hours."

"So you made an agreement of some sort?"

"Yep." She nodded.

The Mayor cleared her throat and joined in.

"I didn't ask how you got this interest in babies for all of a sudden Fluttershy, if I may, where did you get this interest in looking after your own little one start?"

"Oh. I er, liked looking after my teddies when I was a little girl... I pretended they were little babies I had to l-look after from time to time a-and when I got the chance to look after animals in college I tried my best to look after them. I n-noticed how happy people were when they had their own children s-so I started to buy my own baby supplies and books."

"I see. So after you got the appropriate supplies you thought of having your own children?"

"Y-Yes... But uh... I didn't want to... Uh..." Fluttershy's face turned a bright red. "Be pregnant..."

"It's okay Fluttershy. We all understand, a lot of people aren't that interested in actual pregnancy nowadays, like I said before. I have always thought that you would do great with a man to support you."

"Hrm..." Fluttershy nervously nodded.

"I'm sure in a few years down the road you might find a hunky man like Big Macintosh who is willing to service and provide for a standard Equestrian family. I'm sure a man like him could really make you happy even when the kids aren't around. Te-he." The Mayor quickly put her hands up to her mouth and let out a weak chuckle. This comment strangely caused both Fluttershy and Cheerilee to slightly blush. Rainbow Dash on the other hand grinned a little and kept her eyesight on the Mayor for now.

The Mayor looked down at the written papers and quickly gave them a quick shuffle into the appropriate order, after doing so she placed them next to the her neatly stacked pencils and pens and cleared her throat.

"I just want to also mention that now you are the legal parent of Scootaloo due to the Foster Parents not presenting themselves at this meeting. I wish to say, and I personally think that if the whole town were in on this, they would all wish you with the best of luck in your future as a mother. With the Foster Parents not available at this time their voices and objections to this meeting are furthermore nulled. They have no say in what happens next."

"So? Everything is settled?" Fluttershy blinked.

"Yes indeed. If you have any questions then please ask away." The Mayor smiled and gave a reassuring nod and then widened her eyes and turned to Cheerilee. "Wait a minute. I have an idea, but it all depends on you Cheerilee dear."

"What's up?" Cheerilee asked.

The Mayor leaned back in her chair and smirked.

"Do you think it would be okay to give Scootaloo the day off? I have a lovely idea that will surely put a smile on the little tykes face."

"Woah, woah, woah!" Rainbow Dash quickly interrupted. "You gonna break the law for little Scoots? Awesome!"

"Well, to be exact, I wouldn't be Mayor if I just played by the rules, that's not how Government works. Let's head to the school, I have a wonderful idea that should make her happy for years to come."

The innocent noises were everywhere, no matter where you went they would always follow you inside the classroom. The children were all doing different things together. Some were sitting down all clumped together in their little groups, some were keeping their heads down not only to dodge the incoming paper planes, but to complete the school work given to them.

At the front of the classroom both presented Bon-Bon and Lyra, two women who had taken time out of their hands to keep the little ones at bay for a good chunk of the day. Lyra herself was in her usual mood, she sat at the teachers desk donning the familiar light purple vest that the regular teacher wears.

Bon-Bon on the other hand had brought something different to the table, despite being with her wife she also brought an innocent toddler with her in the brewing chaos of the classroom. Certain students sat together near the big desk in a circular pattern, legs crossed with their curiosity for the toddler all looking at Bon-Bon brought Tootsie Flute along for the ride.

Amongst the children all in a circle was Scootaloo. She inspected the toddler and took note of how confused the little one looked, the child's eyes idly darted round and looked at each of the children curiously. The only noise the toddler made was the adorable suckling noises she made using her purple pacifier that was in her mouth.

"Do you children have any questions about Tootsie Flute?" Bon-Bon smiled at the children and wrapped her arms around the infant. She shuffled Tootsie Flute back onto her lap and stroked her hair.

A few of the children threw their hands up excitedly, some of them loudly shouted to be picked and Bon-Bon laughed.

"Okay, you." She pointed at one of the children.

"Can Tootsie Flute walk?" One of the children asked.

"That's a very interesting question Rumble." Bon-Bon nodded. "Tootsie Flute is two years old now, she might still be a little toddler, but she is trying her best to stand up on her own two feet and walk as much as she can. Now does anyone else have another question?"

The children quickly raised their hands with the exception of Scootaloo, all of them quickly starting yelling and were competing for the chance to ask a question.

"Okay, you." She once again pointed at one of the children.

"How do you know when the baby is really hungry?" Another child asked.

"That's another interesting question SilverSpoon. You see, babies and toddlers aren't able to talk like us grown-ups yet, the only way they are able to tell their mommies and daddies that..."

Scootaloo honestly wasn't listening at this point, she hypnotically stared at the confused toddler. To see Tootsie Flute nicely bound and protected by her mother as Bon-Bon's arms wrapped around her to stop her from sliding off her lap was something she wanted. Scootaloo wanted the day to end so that she could see Fluttershy again. Her mommy, her protector. The one who did so much for her.

"Scootaloo..."

As she sat there looking at the toddler she wanted to be in her position again with two warm hand wrapped around her body to make sure that she was protected from danger or any other worries that she had.

Scootaloo..."

Her name was called, this immediately snapped her out of the trance and she looked up to see Bon-Bon looking at her. She didn't appear to look angry at all, in fact she was wearing a motherly smile similar to a way that Fluttershy would have done.

"Huh?"

"Scootaloo you're a little quiet today." Bon-Bon leaned forward and rested her hand on her shoulder. "Are you alright? Would you like to ask a question about Tootsie Flute? Its okay if you don't want to."

Now the pressure was mounted onto her rather quickly. Bon-Bon had leaned back a little and once again grabbed hold of Tootsie Flute.

"Um... Does Tootsie Flute... Uh... Still sleep in a crib and stuff?" Scootaloo looked down to the carpet and slightly blushed, despite not getting any reactions from her classmates, Bon-Bon cleared her throat and began to speak.

"Yes Scootaloo." Bon-Bon answered. "So that she doesn't fall out of bed we bought her a special crib that makes sure she is really comfortable. Every night I put her into bed, wrap her into her favorite blanket, give her a baby bottle full of delicious warm milk and she hugs her stuffed animals at the same time."

What followed was an adorable gasp coming from all the surrounding children, especially the girls save for Scootaloo.

As Bon-Bon continued on about Tootsie Flute. Scootaloo was headed back into her thoughts and went back to looking at the toddler and how she wanted to be in that position, images of Fluttershy and the times spent with her were passing by in her mind and she just couldn't help but smile at the sight of herself being treated this way.

As the questions and the demonstrations continued on, Scootaloo noticed something about the toddler that just didn't seem right. The infant was slightly squirming her arms and legs were shaking and she tried to break free of her mothers grip, Bon-Bon and the surrounding children quickly noticed the toddlers squirming and she spat out her pacifier.

"Ooh, calm down Tootsie, what's wrong?"

The toddler began to quietly sob and continued squirming, yet only at a much quicker and faster rate.

"Do you want your bottle?" Bon-Bon cooed. "Its okay kids, just go and play for a moment while I tend to Tootsie Flute."

The children quickly got up and walked away from Bon-Bon and the toddler and went over to their other friends on the other side of the room. But Scootaloo remained to watch the toddler being taken care of. Bon-Bon quickly looked up to see Scootaloo still sitting down watching her and Tootsie Flute with concern.

"You can go play with your friends now Scootaloo, I'll just take care of Tootsie Flute and we can get back onto asking questions in a minute."

"Miss Bon-Bon."

"Yes Scootaloo?"

A small knot twisted in her stomach for a second, she really wanted to help out the poor little toddler knowing what Fluttershy had told her about babies during her time as one. She got up and rested herself on her knees and smiled without giving direct eye-contact to the adult.

"Can I help you look after your baby?"

Bon-Bon thought this over and looked down to take a quick glance at her daughter. The toddler was seemingly agitated for what reason she couldn't make out. Her diaper didn't need changing, that was for sure. Her pacifier was dangling around on a thin necklace so it wasn't missing at all.

"Could you keep Tootsie Flute in your sights while I go through my handbag and get her bottle. I think that's what she needs."

She loosened her grip on the toddler and slowly enough Tootsie Flute slid from her mothers lap and landed on her hands and knees. Wiggling her bottom from side to side the toddler began to mindlessly crawl towards Scootaloo, a wad of drool escaped her mouth and dripped onto the wooden flooring. Bon-Bon leaned over to her side and reached for her large handbag and dipped her hand into the top and started to rummage through her contents.

"Hello." Scootaloo tilted herself forwards and smiled at the toddler.

Tootsie Flute was making her way towards Scootaloo, her head was up and she let out random bursts of baby talk that no one could understand.

"Aww. You're so cute." Scootaloo cooed. She extended a hand and waved it infront of the toddlers face, the look of bedazzlement quickly came over Tootsie Flute.

"Ooh..." Tootsie stopped in place, her eyes widened and her crawling came to a stand still. With a little bit of trouble she lifted up one hand and reached for the big hand in front of her. She wrapped her fingers around the big hand and positioned herself upright on the knees.

Bon-Bon pulled out multiple items as she explored her handbag and placed them on the floor not caring whether the whole class could see them or not. She pulled out a baby bottle that was still half full with semi-warm milk, another pacifier, a bib, a little blue plastic spoon and a spare diaper.

She picked up the bottle and leaned forward and shook it in front of Scootaloo's face.

"Do you want to give her the bottle?"

Scootaloo looked up and stared at the bottle for a moment, feeling rather hypnotized by the swirling effects of the milk as it swashed against the plastic container. Quickly shaking her head out of the trance she lifted her arm and slowly grabbed the bottle off from Bon-Bon and quickly noticed that Tootsie Flute had let go of her hand and slumped back onto the floor.

With her thumb in her mouth and the random baby talk coming out of her, she whined and reached up for the bottle with her other hand. Scootaloo didn't want to prolong the baby from getting her drink so she gestured for the toddler to crawl forward and soon enough, she did.

Tootsie slowly climbed up on Scootaloo's lap not even thinking to care whether this made the other big girl uncomfortable or not, her eyes were set on the bottle and more precisely, the nipple protruding outwards. Her lips puckered despite her thumb still being tucked away in her mouth covered in vast amounts of dribble.

The bottle was lowered down and Scootaloo carefully aimed the nipple into the toddlers mouth, Tootsie pulled her thumb out and grabbed onto the bottle and hungrily suckled down the milk. Remembering what Fluttershy had taught her and even shown her, Scootaloo placed her hand on the back of Tootsie's head to keep her upright as she leaned back to get the milk out of the bottle.

"You're doing a great job Scootaloo." Bon-Bon quietly clapped and proceeded to put the rest of the baby supplies back into her handbag. She shuffled forward to get a closer look at the child and her daughter and noticed the perfect amount of care and respect for little Tootsie.

"Thanks Miss Bon-Bon." Scootaloo blushed, she mentally reminded herself to keep her arms wrapped around the toddler for all times sake and to keep a hand on the bottle for Tootsie Flute.

"No problem Scootaloo. What you should try and remember to do though is to make sure that you aren't shoving the tip of the baby bottle into her mouth."

Scootaloo was puzzled by this, she looked down at Tootsie Flute and then quickly understood what she was talking about. Tootsie, it seemed, had shoved the entire nipple into her mouth as she continued to drink her milk. Scootaloo readjusted the bottle quickly and pulled it outwards leaving the very top of the nipple to remain in her mouth.

"Like this?"

"That's it." Bon-Bon smiled. "See? Tootsie is smiling."

"Aww..."

Between the two of them as they took care of Tootsie Flute there was an odd silence that they picked up on, the voices of the classmates had died down and the sound of chatter was completely gone. Tootsie Flute slid down onto the floor with her thumb back in her mouth unaware of what was going on. Scootaloo turned her head and noticed that all of her friends had seemingly disappeared.

"Oops." Bon-Bon chuckled. "I'm sorry Scootaloo. Please excuse me for not checking the time, you can go outside and play for a while if you want to."

"Is it playtime?" Scootaloo turned back and looked at the adult.

"I think it is. I can hear the children outside."

"Uh... Is it okay if I stay in here? I don't wanna go outside."

"Is something wrong?"

"Nah. I just wanna watch you look after Tootsie Flute, 'cause shes so cute."

"I haven't got anything to do at the moment concerning Tootsie Flute, her diaper doesn't need changing, we just gave her some milk and she seems to be pretty happy. But if you want to, you can go outside and play in the sunshine with your friends."

"No thanks, I'll stay in here if that's okay with you."

Bon-Bon smiled.

"You don't have to worry Scootaloo, if you want to play with Tootsie Flute until the end of playtime then be my guest. Just make sure that she doesn't go out of your sight while I round up the kids outside. Lyra is probably having a hard time out there, I'll be right back in a minute or so."

Scootaloo didn't care much of how Bon-Bon quickly left the classroom, her mind was on Tootsie Flute, the toddler was sitting next to the handbag that her mother had left behind. She looked around the classroom rather confused, sometimes turning her head to look at Scootaloo herself and then back at where her mother used to sit.

Small whimpers came out of the toddlers mouth and soon tears fell down from her face and her arms began to swing from side to side in desperation. Scootaloo's smile quickly dropped as she shuffled over to the toddler and wrapped an arm around her, but this did not stop her crying.

"Hey, hey, hey. What's wrong? Your mommy just went outside for a minute, she'll be back in a minute." Her hand rubbed the toddlers back up and down ever so slowly in an attempt to calm her down but nothing was working.

Tootsie Flute cried and bawled to no end, her lips puckered ever so slightly and she leaned against the big girl beside her. Scootaloo took a closer inspection of the toddler and noticed that her lips were puckered, this was a sign, if knowing anything from her mothers knowledge on babies and especially toddlers. She leaned forward still keeping her arms wrapped around the toddler and grabbed the pacifier dangling round her neck and grabbed it by the handle. With some novice positioning she dipped the tip of the pacifier into the toddlers mouth.

Her whining and bawling soon came to an end as they died down into light muffles and soon sniffles, the sound of suckling soon replaced all of that entirely. Scootaloo wrapped both arms around the toddler and pulled her in close and lightly hugged her. Tootsie rested her head against Scootaloo's stomach and continued to idly suck on her pacifier.

"See?" Scootaloo smiled. "You just have to wait for mommy to come back..." Her smile quickly dropped. "Yeah... wait..."

But before she could continue, a quiet set of multiple footsteps dawned behind her, slowly getting louder and louder as it passed on which sent a deep chill down her spine. Scootaloo quickly turned her head to see what was coming from behind her and to her surprise was something that she didn't expect.

A familiar figure slowly walked amongst the rows of tables, half of them had their respective chairs tucked underneath but this was not the problem. The school doors were still wide open, yet there was no children, but the adult walking in the middle of the path donned a smile as she caught sight of Scootaloo.

"Cheerilee?" Scootaloo squeaked, she wanted to quickly stand up and explain herself, but the weight of a toddler was no match for her. Tootsie Flute had rested for too long and now her eyes were closed, all of Scootaloo's strength quickly fell knowing that waking up the toddler would mean another series of bawling and crying. Another thing that didn't help the situation was that she was surrounded by Tootsie's baby supplies.

"Oh, hello Scootaloo, shouldn't you be playing with your friends outside?" The teacher let out a warm smile and headed over towards her big desk, a handbag was wrapped around her arm and she headed over to the big desk to put it down.

"Ah..." Scootaloo blushed and looked at Tootsie Flute. "I was uh- Just looking after the baby... Miss Bon-Bon, s-she told me that I c-could look after her- yeah, that's it, look after her."

"You're looking after Tootsie Flute? How considerable of you Scootaloo. Are you having trouble looking after her? I can always ask Bon Bon to take her off your hands if you are having some trouble."

"Its okay Miss Cheerilee." Scootaloo quickly wrapped an arm around the toddler. "She's just sleeping."

Cheerilee put down her bag and placed her hands on her hips, she turned to look at Scootaloo and the surrounding baby supplies slightly flowing out of the other handbag. Knowing what she now knew about the child made her smile slightly and the image of someone her age using the pacifiers for their intended purpose was cute, yet somewhat weird.

The Teacher started to walk over to the toddler and the child and kneeled down slightly to get a closer look at the pair, she rested her hand on Scootaloo's head and slowly fussed with her hair a little.

"Now Scootaloo. In just a few minutes when all of the children are finished playing we are going to be saying goodbye to Bon Bon and Lyra since they are heading home soon now that I am back as Teacher. Tootsie Flute will be going home too, but I'm sure you will see her again soon."

Scootaloo looked back at the toddler sitting on her lap to see her slumber was entirely short-lived. Tootsie Flute idly squirmed around on Scootaloo's lap and babbled baby talk through her pacifier.

"Well, time to say goodbye to Tootsie Flute."
