A Long Days Work

A Long Days Work

"YeeeeeHaaaaa. That's the last of them!" Applejack yelled with relief as she picked up her 150th bucket of apples.

With the whole northern orchard now bucked clean she could finally head back home. She placed the last bucket of apples into her cart, saddled herself up and began to tug a heap of apples to the farm.

"Thought I'd never finish this before sun down what with the fruitbat migration, but by Celestia I did it." She said full of pride as she glanced at the low sun. She kept trotting along happily admiring the appleless trees.

As excited as she was about her hard work there was something she was even more excited about. Her alone time. Applejack had been left alone at the farm while the rest of the Apples went up to Manehatten to help Babs and her family with moving into their new apartment. Well that's why Big mac went. They wanted a big pony to help with the heavy furniture. Apple bloom tagged along to see her favorite cousin and Granny wanted to experience some big city living. As much as Applejack loves spending time with family someone had to stay behind to watch the farm and with Pinkie's birthday coming up there was sure to be fun too big to miss at sugarcube corner this week.

"aawwww. Finally home sweet home." Applejack said to herself as she approached the Apple house.

She set the cart of apples in the nearest barn and headed inside. She rushed inside the creeky old place and kicked of her work saddle. She walked towards the living room and fell like a brick onto the couch. Relieved to be home she stretched her legs and enjoyed the cushy comfort of the couch. She turned over on the couch and looked across the room to see a picture she doesn't usually pay too much attention too. It was a small framed photo of three ponies. One stud of a stallion built like a shit brick house. The other was a beautiful yet sturdy mare with the raggiest head of blonde hair you'd ever see on a pony. The third was a foal. An orange foal wrapped in a green blankie with apple print sucking her hoof. Applejack studied the picture it got her thinking. Thinking about her habit. She sat up straight now staring at the picture. She didn't see three ponies posing for a picture well I mean course she did that's what it was but, she also saw something else she saw her innocence. Not the deepest of ponies applejack never really thought about why she did things she kind of just did. For some reason the picture was really digging into applejack's mind. She couldn't quit figure put her hoof on it. She was trying to recapture something. Something she lost when her parents had passed. Her parents. She never really thought about her parent's passing. Of she felt bad about it and of course she missed them but, she today for some reason that picture had her thinking about what else she missed. Was her habit a way of trying to hold on to something. These thoughts ran through Applejack's head as she stared at the picture. Again the deepest of ponies and always wanting to be busy she shrugged it off.

"naaa. It's just good fun." Applejack said aloud as she rocked herself off the couch. "Speaking of which I think it's about time i get down to my real business."

Applejack trotted upstairs went down the main hall and entered her room. The biggest room in the house and the messiest. Muddy Horse shoes scattered on the floor and saddle bags laying everywhere.

"A shoot forgot about this mess." she said looking around the room. "Granny wasn't far off when she said a group of Windigo had been through here."

Applejack looked down at the floor and debated on what to do with the mess. Tired from work and eager to relax she grabbed a blanket through everything on it, wrapped it up and bucked it in the corner of the room.

"And that's what we call Gitt'n er done!" she said as she walked towards her closet. Opening it she began to quickly move her boots and other such things out of her way.

"Come on where is it dag nabit." she said digging deeper into her closet. "Tarnation has it really been that long."

Finally after rearranging her whole closet she found it. A small cardboard box. A small cardboard box she cherished almost as much as the farm.

"There you are!" she said gleefully. She brought the box to the middle of the room and lied out a large blanket for her to sit on. She slowly opened the box her eyes lighting up with joy as soon as she saw it. She reached in and pulled out her most prized possession. A small purple teddy bear with an apple pattern printed on it's belly.

"Ms. Huggums!" Applejack shouted with joy as she snuggled the bear as hard as she could. "How've you been? It's been a dragon's age since I've seen ya."

"Well shucks Jackie I'm doing just fine." Apple jack said in a distorted voice as she moved the teddy up and down lightly . "Never mind me though how has my little Apple blossom been"

"Aaawww I've been workin' all day Ms. and everyponies out of town so I came to see ya."

"Is my little girl lookin' to play?" said Ms. Huggums.

"Yuck" Applejack laughed. "I sure am!"

"Well then lets get you ready." said Ms. Huggums.

Applejack set the bear down in front of her and topped over the box spilling it's contents. Out poured several pairs of cushy mare large diapers, a baby bottle, some powder, some small toys and a pacifier with a blue and yellow shield. The bunny and building block patterned diapers caught AJ's attention instantly. She greedily snatched one up and rubbed her freckled cheek on the soft disposable. She unfolded the baby print diaper lifted her little rump up and slid it under her bottom. She reached her hoof over and grabbed a bottle of foal powder. She lightly sprinkled her front with the powder. As the powder fell onto her private AppleJack felt a tingling sensation crawl up her spine. Her cheeks turned bright red as she continued to sprinkle the powder until she had more than enough applied. She lied down and slowly brought the center of the diaper up to her waist,Foal powder clogging her nostrils, then she reached over her side and brought up the left tape then the right. She adjusted them accordingly to make the diaper as snug as possible. She sat up and gently rubbed the front of her diaper. Moving around her bottom she scooted around the floor. There she was one of Ponyville's most respected ponies sitting in a diaper and enjoying it no less. The smell of foal powder was incredibly evident. She thanked Celestia nopony was around to notice.

"Come here Ms. Huggums." she said bringing the bear in for a tight squeeze.

"Don't you look precious." Said Ms. Huggums as applejack cuddled her. Applejack lowered Ms. Huggums and in her teddy bear voice said. "But There's something missing." She said.

Applejack moved the bear around to make it look like she was walking. She moved her over to the pacifier lying on the floor.

"Ah ha here it is." said Huggums." You forgot you're binky."

Applejack moved huggums arm and used it to pick up the pacifier. Applejack sat there with her mouth open as she lightly popped the pacifier into her mouth or as Ms. Huggums popped the pacifier into her mouth i should say. Applejack took the pacifier and started to eagerly suckle. She sucked as fast as she could. She couldn't remember the last time she was able to use it. She moved Ms. Huggums around and scooted around the floor playing with random toys. Just like a foal. She grabbed some toys blocks and stacked them as high as she could. Picking up Ms. Huggums she used her to knock the pile down while making crashing sound effects through her pacifier. Applejack began to feel sleepy her eyelids falling down as she continued to suckle her pacifier. Her eyes closed she lied down on her back with Ms. Huggums secure in her arms pressing against her chest she turned on her side. she lied there content sucking her pacifier loosing a piece of her adult self with every suck. With the cushyness of her diaper cuddling her bottom wrapping her in a delicate bliss. Her eyes closed she felt sleep creeping up on her. Before drifting of into sleep she moved Ms. Huggums close to her face.

"Ms. Huggums...." Applejack said through her pacifier. "ummm" she hesitated. "Ms. Huggums will you always be here for me? You know to play wif when I'm feelin' small" Applejack asked the toy bear with innocence in her eyes.

"I will be here for as long as you need me to be my little Apple Blossom." She said as applejack rubbed the bears paw over her cheek. "I love you."

Applejack smiled through her pacifier "I love you too Ms. Huggums." She looked down at her cute diaper, She loved the way it felt, and at ms. Huggums who stared back at applejack with her empty yet beautiful eyes. She pulled her tight and as a single tear fell from Applejack's eye Ms. Huggums said.

"You miss them don't you?"

"Mmpf I do."

The Next Day

The Next Day

The sun shined down on Ponville. Delicately lighting up the entire town. The radiant shine from the sun bled through the curtains of the Apple house. Lightly shining on the face of Applejack who had fallen asleep on the floor the night before. Her eyes reluctantly opened. She blinked a couple of times to get the sleep out of her eyes and sat up looking around the room rubbing her eyes with her hooves. She examined the room trying to remember the night before. On her left side by where her head had been rested she saw her pacifier. It still had saliva on the teat. On the other side lied her friend Ms. Huggums. She picked up her pacifier and popped it into her mouth sucking contently and slowly, just waking up after all, she then grabbed her favorite bear and hugged her tightly. She sat there for a couple of minutes. Eyes closed, hair a mess and pacifier in mouth. An odor had hit her nose as she sat there it was one she was all too familiar with. The smell was originating from the diaper she had put on the night before. Applejack spread her legs and examined the front of her diaper. Lightly poking it with her hoof she felt the soiled fabric rubbing against her private area. Applejack reached over to a pack of wipes she had handy ready to clean herself up when something caught her attention.

"What in tarnation?" she said her pacifier falling out as she did. Sniff Sniff. "What is that?" Applejack said aloud as she sniffed intently. There was a stink in the air Applejack had not smelt in long time. "No I didn't." she said.

Applejack turned her head around and looked down at the back of her diaper. There she saw a brown stain that disrupted the diapers snow white colorization. She turned away from it and looked down at herself. Turning her head to the right she saw herself in the mirror she kept by her window seal. She stared into mirror looking directly into her eyes then she said aloud to herself.

"You messed in a diaper. You the most highly respected pony in the town the element of honesty for pete's sake," a tear began to flow down applejack's face, "and you messed a diaper." Applejack's single tear evolved into a stream of fluid flowing down her cheeks. She fell to the floor and buried her face in her hooves in an attempt to stifle the crying.

"Why do i do this?" she sobbed. "Why do I have to do this?" she rubbed her eyes picked herself up and looked back in the mirror. Sniffling she locked eyes with her reflection,"huh because you miss them. 'sniff' Because you miss them".

She picked herself up and stumbled into her bathroom to get cleaned up. Stopping at the bathroom door she looked back at her area tears still flowing down her face. She saw her pacifier, her toys and She saw Ms. Huggums the words 'as long as you need me' ringing in her head. She turned and continued into the bathroom.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Later that day Applejack was hard at work just outside the barn doing some busy work trying to forget about the incident from that morning. 'Why did it upset me so much' She thought to herself.

"I mean I wet them all the time." she said quietly to herself as she sawed a plank in two. "Certainly messing shouldn't be that far of a stretch."

Applejack shook her head and decided to stop thinking about it. After all she had pinkie's party later that day and her family was due back sometime tomorrow. She needed to clear her mind of all that mess. On thing she couldn't shake though were the thoughts she had last night. About why she had her habit and her parents.

" I haven't seen them since I was just a filly. Maybe the diaper and the pacifier help me feel like their still here. Is that why I do it?" She thought aloud as she put away her tools. Applejack had always had thoughts on why she did this but, rarely contemplated it very deeply.

"Do what?" said a energetic voice coming from behind Applejack.

Applejack, startled, jumped and quickly turned around to see her friend Pinkie Pie standing there with a smile on her face and curiosity in her eyes.

"Do you always talk to yourself like that Applejack?"

"Gat zooks! Pinkie you scared the livin' the day lights out of me." Applejack said with a nervous smile. "Whataya Doin' out here anyway?"

"Oh sorry i'm just going around ponyville reminding everypony that my Birthday party is today!"

"Yeah I Know Pinkie. You can count on me bein' there." Applejack said confidently.

"Oh that's wonderful Applejack I can't wait to see you there." Pinkie pie turned around with a hop and headed towards Fluttershy's cottage. "Now if you'll excuse me I have more Ponies to visit before noon."

Applejack stood there her heart beating a million times a second Praying Pinkie hadn't been hanging around long enough to hear her talking about her secret. What if she had heard? If Pinkie found out then she'll for sure blabb to somepony about it. Either accidentally or as point of concern. 'Should it be a concern?' Appleajck thought. Suddenly rapid fire thoughts of all her friends pounding her with questions about her habit started to flood her mind. She imagined Twilight wanting to study her brain. Then an image of Rainbow Dash laughing hysterically flash by. Suddenly one of Rarity making a face of utter disgust ran through her mind. She was trotting back and forth just trying to create excuses for what she was talking about. She played out situations in her head where she told everypony about it. It wasn't helping though. The more she thought about the more nervous she became. The thought of somepony knowing her secret was drilling into her head. It made her think about messing too which made her even more nervous. 'Why do I have to do this' She thought to herself. 'Why can't I just forget about it like normal. It's never pestured me like this before' Applejack wanted to stop thinking about rather if Pinkie had heard her or not so with no real work to be done to distract her she she snapped and started running.

"yeah that's it." Applejack said as she ran out the main gate. "I'll go for a quick run before the party." She said panting as she picked up her speed."That'll clear my head for sure." She kept on running until she was out of sight from the apple farm.

As Applejack got further away from her farm a certain pink pony began to get head back. Pinkie Pie hadn't really left the apple farm but instead made herself scarce waiting for applejack's next move. She pooped out of one of the bushes next to the maingate scratching her head.

"Where is she off to in such a hurry?" Pinkie Pie said aloud."I was hoping she'd go inside and get diapered. Hee Hee. Applejack's an adult foal who would've guessed?"

Pinkie pie stepped out of the bush and hoped over to the apple house.

"Before I make any rash decisions I should confirm my Pinkie sense on this one." Pinkie said as she non chalantly opened the front door.Walking in as if she owned the place. "I always thought Fluttershy, maybe even Twilight but, never Applejack. A true surprise."Pinkie headed up the stairs making the climb in no time then stopped and began looking down the hallway."Whoa slow down Pinkie. You don't know for sure yet." She said aloud as she entered AJ's room.

She stepped inside her friend's room and closely examined the place. It was big, not as big as pinkie's though. She jumped up and landed belly first on the floor sliding across the room and under Applejack's bed.

"Not under there." she said"Maybe it's in this chest."

Pinkie pie headed over to the large chest Applejack kept at the foot of her bed and swung the top open. She gently ran her hooves through the books and accessories moving them around searching for her proof. She made sure to throw any thing out or rummage to much as to keep her intrusion secret.

"Not here either." She said with a pout. She looked around wondering where else she could check. Then like a pound of bricks it hit her.

"OOhh the closet. Hee Hee. 'snort' Silly me." She said hopping towards the closet.

Standing face to face with the walk in she lifted her hoof gently turning the knob her smile grew greater as she opened the door. Looking inside she saw an assortment of horseshoes, saddles and other farm related personals. Then there was something else. A box. cardboard box with no noticeable damage making it stick out from all the muddyed and worn equipment in there with it. Pinkie pie leaned down towards the box and a light scent caught her attention. It was a smell she was very familiar with.

"OOOhhhh goody. This must be it." She said her smile stretching from ear to ear. She lightly flipped the cover up and there she saw her proof.

"Well well." Pinkie said with a satisfactory tone. "She was talking about what I thought she was talking about. Pinkie sense you never cease to amaze me."

Pinkie Pie still grinning lifted up the item at the top of the box. A small stuffed bear. She held it up and said.

"Do have a surprise for her."
