"Morning sweetheart," Lotus cheerily said. Rarity poked open her eyes.

"Good morning," she responded, the pacifier slipping from her lips. Her eyes widened. "Hey, I can talk normally!"

Lotus smiled. "Yes, the massage's effects should all be gone now. You're free to do anything you want to." Rarity sat up hastily, and threw off her covers by magic. Without needing any help, she climbed out of the crib - wobbling only slightly - and smiled.

"This... this is great," she realized. "I feel like a new mare."

"I guess the treatment was a success then."

"I don't know if it was the treatment or just the fact that I got a good night's sleep," Rarity admitted, struggling with the pesky buttons of her pajamas.

"Allow me," Lotus said, undoing the buttons with ease. "So," she asked as she worked. "What did you think of the treatment?"

"I... It... Well..." Rarity blushed. "I liked... some parts of it. Others were just ghastly." Lotus nodded, no needing any specification as to which parts Rarity detested.

"Can I ever expect you back in this room then?" she asked as Rarity shrugged off the pajamas.

"I... don't think so. No offense darling. Like I said, I enjoyed some of it. But I think the whole experience gets tainted when I... um... do my business."

"That's too bad." Lotus frowned sadly. "I really enjoyed being your mother for the day."

"You... um... I..." Rarity's face flushed more. "I can't say you were bad at it." She fiddled with the tape of the diaper. "Could you help me, darling?"

“You know… it really is a shame you won’t be trying our best treatment ever again,” Lotus remarked, ignoring Rarity’s question. “I had so much fun being your mother. More so than anypony else who’s tried this."

“Oh… uh… thank you?” Rarity said. Suddenly Lotus’s hoof found it’s way on the top of Rarity’s spine. She froze, remembering that this was how Aloe managed to numb her earlier. “Um… darling what are you–”

“Such a shame,” Lotus cut her off darkly. “I guess I’ll have to make the most of the time we have now.”

“Lotus please–” Her blue hoof pushed down on Rarity’s spine, and all her muscles gave out at once. She fell forward, only to be caught by Lotus.

“Aww, isn’t that adorable,” Lotus said in a motherly tone. “My little Rarity tried to take her first steps. Too bad she’s still just a foal.”

“Wotus… pwease…” Rarity felt drool fall out of her mouth again. Lotus retrieved her discarded pacifier and plopped it in her mouth. The drool was stopped, and Rarity suckled gently without thinking about it too much. She looked up at her friend turned captor, begging with her eyes to be set free.

“You’re such a silly filly,” she remarked happily. Lotus warmly nuzzled the white unicorn’s cheek. “But you’re my silly filly now…”

Rarity could do nothing but whimper.
