The "Best" Treatment
By: Wandering Pigeon
“Ahh,” Rarity sighed with delight as Aloe’s firm hooves pressed down on her lumbar. The massage was assuaging ever part of her and Aloe wasn't letting up in the slightest, despite being almost done.
She tilted her head to the right to face Fluttershy, who was getting a similar treatment from Lotus. “Darling, you simply must take me up on my offer of making these trips daily instead of weekly.”
“Oh… I don’t know, Rarity,” Fluttershy mumbled. “I don’t think my animal friends would like me being away from them so much… and uh… it is kind of expensive just doing this weekly.”
“Fair enough,” Rarity purred as Aloe’s pink hooves worked their magic. She could settle for just going weekly with her friend. After all, she usually went to the spa multiple times a week anyways. It was the perfect place for her to unwind and relax; to not have a care in the world, no matter how stressful her job got.
The sudden ringing of the timer caused her ear to flick alertly. Their massage time had just concluded, and she groaned in minor resentment as Aloe’s hooves floated away from her back. Reluctantly though, she sat up. The massage had been the last part of their session, which meant it was time to depart. Say goodbye to relaxation and hello to her work-filled life.
Rarity wasn’t much for procrastination, but today was a rare exception. Three separate clients had all spontaneously come down on her, each requesting a unique, new line from her. Not wanting to pass up the opportunity to work on her craft and make a large sum of money in the process, she had naively accepted the offers. It was only after that she had learned they all needed to be filled by the end of the week.
She’d spent the past two nights awake and working, and it was beginning to take its toll on the poor unicorn. Rarity had hoped her relaxation break would be enough to reinvigorate her, but she was wrong. As Fluttershy waved goodbye and began to leave the spa, Rarity found she wanted nothing more than to stay.
She turned back to Aloe, who was collecting their used bathrobes. “I must confess that I really don’t want to leave,” Rarity admitted. The pink Earth pony smiled empathetically at her. “Isn’t there anything else you have left in your repertoire for me?”
“But Rarity, you’ve already been through all our treatments,” Aloe said. “There isn’t really anything else.”
“Oh please,” Rarity begged. “I’m hardly relaxed. Surely there’s something.”
“Actually,” Lotus interjected, having been eavesdropping. “We do have a new treatment.”
Aloe bit her lip. “Oh, sis, I don’t know. Rarity may not… umm… appreciate that one too much.”
“Nonsense,” Rarity replied immediately. “You girls know I love your work. Tell me about this ‘new treatment’ of yours.”
“We’ve gotten very positive feedback on it,” Lotus told her with an unusually wide grin. “In fact, some patrons have even said it’s the best the spa has to offer.”
The best? Rarity squealed with delight. “Oh I simply must try it now. What is it? A salt rub? Hot wax? Oooh, did you finally get a room set up for aromatherapy?”
“Oh, there are aromas,” Aloe said through slight gritted teeth. “But Rarity I don’t think–”
“Wait, don’t tell me,” Rarity said, her excitement building. “I want to be surprised.”
“Oh boy,” Aloe mumbled under her breath. Lotus beamed at Rarity
“Fantastic,” the blue mare said. “Aloe can get you started, while I set everything else up.” She practically skipped toward the door, only to stop and turn around. “Oh, and Rarity there’s one more thing.”
“What?”
“Once you start the treatment, you can’t stop until it’s over, understand?”
Rarity gave a moment’s hesitation before answering. She thought about her massive workload waiting for her at home, and how absolutely worn out she currently was. “Not a problem,” she affirmed.
Lotus smiled and left. Rarity turned to Aloe and noticed she was distinctly less enthused than her sister. “Something wrong dear?”
Aloe sighed. “I just have a bad feeling that you won’t like what’s to come.”
Rarity laughed lightly. “Darling, I love your spa. How could I not enjoy your best treatment?”
Aloe cringed, though Rarity hardly noticed. “Are you sure you don’t even want to know what it is?”
Rarity nodded. She was over the moon with anticipation, but knew she would like this new treatment. After all, she had found out about the mud baths in a similar way, and now they were her personal favorite.
“Okay then, please lie down.” She gestured back to the massage tables. Rarity complied with no hesitation. Aloe went to work with a massage that felt very similar to the one she had just received.
It stayed that way for a solid ten minutes, and Rarity began to wonder if that was all there was.
“Darling, you know I love your massages, but please don’t tell me this is it.”
“Hardly,” Aloe said with a hint of ruefulness. “I’ve just been giving Lotus time to set up. She should be done by now so… uhmm…” Rarity suddenly felt a pressure at the top of her spine. She barely breathed as Aloe made a very calculated move, hitting several nerves and muscles at once.
The impact was immediate as Rarity felt a pale numbness spread over all of her muscles. It felt as though every fiber of her just decided to go limp and relaxed. Her eyelids drooped over but didn’t close, and her facial features were nearly immovable. Nevertheless, she loved the feeling of it.
Oh Sweet Celestia this is glorious! she thought. With some effort, she managed to grin up at Aloe.
“Feel good?” Aloe asked cautiously.
“I wuv it,” Rarity whispered. She slowly blinked in surprise at her infantile speech and looked up at Aloe, trying to express concern.
“Don’t worry, that’s just one of the side-effects of the massage,” Aloe assured her. “It’ll be kind of hard to move and talk for a little while, but small price to pay to be this relaxed. Besides, in a few minutes the brunt of it will wear off. You won't walk for a while, but you'll be able to crawl around and such. That's not so bad, right?"
Rarity laxly nodded. She hadn’t realized she had signed on for this, but she had to admit that the feeling was incredible. It was indeed a small price to pay.
At least, that’s what she told herself right before the drooling started.
“And there’s another side effect,” Aloe said sympathetically as she noticed what was happening.
Rarity couldn’t believe what was happening. A thin trail of her saliva was spilling out from her mouth and onto the tiled floor. She tried and failed to close her lips.
“I dwooling,” she complained. “Why Awwoe? Make it stawp!”
“Just try to relax, Rarity,” Aloe told her. She hoisted up the white unicorn with surprising ease, and tapped her jaw closed. “Well, you don’t have to try I guess. You see, Lotus discovered that numbness thing when she was trying out some new massages on me. It makes all the muscles revert to a foal-like state. Your magic will be unusable too." Fearfully, Rarity attempted to light her horn. It flickered dimly before fizzing out. The attempted look of horror on Rarity's face must have been apparent. "But don’t worry, I’ve been in the exact same position you are now… and are going to be… and I’m fine.”
Rarity was slight comforted by those words, but also slightly worried. “What do woo mean, Awwoe?” She demanded.
The pink ponies eyebrow’s knitted together. “Let’s just say my time with you is done. You’re Lotus’s until morning.” She began carrying Rarity out of the massage room.
“Mowning?” Rarity realized. “No… no… I have dwesses to cweate. I can’t stay wate…”
“Sorry Rarity,” Aloe replied, walking towards a lone door at the back of the spa. “That’s how long it’ll be until the massage wears off. Then you’ll be back to your old self. No worries… okay?”
Rarity huffed. She didn’t have time for this. Yes, she had been procrastinating a little, but not enough to lose and entire day and night’s worth of work. This was becoming a disaster.
Aloe reached the door at the back of the spa. Rarity had seen it before, but had never been through it. She’d asked Lotus about it once and had gotten the reply that it was a ‘work in progress’. Clearly though, it held the next stage of her treatment.
The door was nudged open and Rarity was immediately struck stupid by the insides of the room. The wallpaper was pink, sporting rather foalish designs on it. There was a changing table on one end, and a crib on the other, both large enough to fit a full-grown pony. Baby paraphernalia littered the floor, and hanging from a rack on the wall were several adult sized onesies and frilly dresses alike. In the center of it, Lotus was standing with an eager grin on her face.
“And here’s your stop,” Aloe said to the shocked mare in her hooves. Lotus bounded over and took Rarity to hold.
“Wait… wha?” Rarity couldn’t form a clear sentence to express her concern about the situation.
“Just… try to enjoy it,” Aloe said with the voice of somepony trying to avoid a lawsuit. She began walking out.
“Say bye-bye to Auntie Aloe, Rarity,” Lotus said in a condescendingly mother-like voice. She grabbed Rarity’s foreleg and waved it like one would for a foal incapable of preforming complex actions.
Aloe shut the door with a resounding thud as a confused Rarity finally started to realize she might be in trouble.
“Wotus?” she asked. “Wha’s gowing on?”
Lotus Blossom giggled. “Aww, silly foal. You can call just call me ‘Mommy’.”
What?
“O-okay…” Rarity said with some concern. She had a feeling Lotus wouldn’t take no for an answer.
“Great, now let’s go get you a diaper.” Lotus happily brought Rarity over to the changing station, a skip in her step.
“Wha?” Rarity said in fear. “But Wotus... Mommy, Imma big pony. Ah don’t need a diapee.” Blasted muscle relaxation, she must've sound so infantile.
“Silly filly, of course you do.” Lotus said. “You know you aren’t potty trained yet.” She set Rarity down on the changing table, and the white unicorn shivered as she touched the cold surface.
She laid there for a moment, hoping that this might all be a practical joke of some kind. When she saw Lotus Blossom pull out a fresh, white diaper, all that hope went out the window.
“No…” she squirmed, trying to sit up. It was pointless, she had barely any control over her muscles anymore.
Lotus set one warm hoof on her to keep her from moving, and used the other to lift her legs into the air. Rarity felt her rear to be overly exposed, and she blushed heavily. Lotus then set the diaper on her and lowered her legs. Her rump hit the soft padding with a crinkle, and the blush hardened.
The blue pony disappeared for a moment, her head underneath the changing table. She reappeared with a container of foal powder, the smell of which assaulted Rarity’s nostrils.
She realized Lotus’s intent, and whined. “No… notta foal!”
“Ah, come on Rarity, you don’t want to get a rash, do you?” Lotus asked in her motherly tone.
A mental image of herself walking around town the next day with a rash on her bottom silenced Rarity. Lotus smiled and then liberally applied the foal powder all over Rarity’s lower region. She then squeaked as Lotus decided to rub it in for good measure, her hoof passing over some very intimate areas as she did.
The foal powder done with, Lotus then wrapped the diaper over Rarity and taped it up. It hugged her sides in an unnervingly snug manner, and she wiggled her hips hoping in vain to shake it off.
“D’aww,” Lotus gushed. “Aren’t you just a cutie?”
Being called cutie by a mare who just touched her privates caused Rarity’s already red face to become a bright shade of crimson, along with her ears. She couldn’t believe her current situation. It had been nearly twenty years since she’d worn a diaper; having been potty trained before turning three. Now, here she was, a grown mare of high standards reduced to wearing foal’s garments. Tears bloomed in her eyes.
“Oh don’t cry, Rarity,” Lotus said. She leaned down, pressed her lips against Rarity’s exposed belly, and blew a raspberry into it. Try as she might, Rarity could help but laugh a little due to Lotus's action. She squirmed and cried out in a mixture of ticklish joy and unadulterated horror.
"Did you like that, sweetie?" Lotus said as she drew away. Rarity tried to say no, but was cut off by yet another raspberry to her belly. When her fit of giggles died down, Lotus saw fit to blow another raspberry, and another. By the time she finally stopped, Rarity's sides were hurting. "Wow dearie, you must've really liked those."
Rarity pouted huffily, causing Lotus to giggle with delight. "Okay, silly filly, why don't we finish getting you dressed up?"
The blue mare walked away from the changing table, out of Rarity's view. The white unicorn struggled again to sit up, but found it impossible. The diaper at her hips was only adding to her troubles, crinkling softly every time she moved.
Lotus walked back into her view, now holding a deep purple onesie. It appeared to be just Rarity's size, and she didn't have to guess the spa pony's intent.
"No... pwease don't Wotus," Rarity begged.
Her caretaker set the onesie and some other garments that she couldn't identify off to the side. "All righty, sweetheart, Mommy's going to sit you up now."
Lotus hoisted Rarity up, setting her back to the wall. She picked up the onesie and slid it onto Rarity dexterously, buttoning it up before the unicorn could get another complaint it. The fabric was soft and gentle against her coat, hugging her as tightly as the diaper did. It was so warm and snug, that Rarity felt a little tired with it now on. Being awake for so long wasn't helping either.
"Now for your socks!" Lotus practically squealed. Rarity mumbled a weak protest and squirmed, but all she got was more crinkling from her diaper. "Here they are," Lotus said, holding up four pink, striped socks. She slid them onto Rarity carefully, making sure they went all the way up past her fetlocks.
Rarity whined when the cozy socks were finally placed on her legs, and Lotus took a step back to admire her work. "My, don't you just look darling," she gushed. "Now you wait right here, cutie. Mommy will be right back." Lotus beeped Rarity's nose with her hoof before trotting off, disappearing around a corner into an opening Rarity had previously missed.
She glanced around, trying to make some sense of her current situation. This couldn't actually be happening, right? There was no possible way Lotus Blossom was doing this to her. It had to be some sort of dream. She had to be imagining the thick, fluffy diaper around her waist, and the silky, delicate socks snaking up her forelegs right now, and the plush, comfortable onesie she was wearing. Oh Celestia, is some part of me actually enjoying this?
A flash of light interrupted her thoughts. She blinked, and slowly turned to head to see Lotus Blossom wielding a camera. The blue mare smiled before snapping two more pictures. Rarity's eyes widened in more shock and her face flushed again.
"Wotus pwease don't," she asked. Her caretaker giggled.
"Oh, now don't be camera shy Rarity. I just want to remember your adorableness forever." Lotus moved her camera up again. Rarity tried to cover her face with her hooves, but was still too limp. The best she could do was try in vain to cover the massive bulge in her onesie to disguise the fact that she was wearing a diaper. Three more consecutive flashes came from the camera.
"Pwease don't show anypony," Rarity begged. Lotus set the camera down, and lovingly hugged Rarity.
"Silly filly," she said as she stroked Rarity's mane. "I wouldn't dream of it... unless of course somepony decides to be a little difficult with their treatment."
Rarity's eyes widened. Now she was being blackmailed? This was spiraling way beyond her control; now not only was she expected to comply, but she was forced to. "O-okay..." she mumbled weakly.
"Okay what?" Lotus asked expectantly.
Rarity sighed. "Okay, Mommy."
Lotus beamed. "Such a good foal." For good measure, she rubbed her nose against Rarity's lovingly. Then, Lotus Blossom reached underneath the changing table again and produced one last item. A pink pacifier. "Open up, sweetheart," Lotus demanded.
Knowing she had to choice but to comply, Rarity parted her lips as best she could and let the pacifier be shoved in. Instinct caused her to try and spit it out, but in her lax state the best she could manage was a weak suckling. It actually eased her panic some, and she found it difficult to stop. Her eyes drooped lower as even more ennui began to take hold.
She saw two more flashes from the camera before hearing Lotus say, "Aw, it looks like my little filly is a little tired. Why don't I put you down for a nap?"
Her eyes nearly shut, Rarity felt herself being lifted up and carried across the room. She was set down again on the soft surface of what could only be the crib. A warm blanket was draped over her.
"I'll be back once the spa closes. Sleep tight until then, little one." Rarity felt a pair of lips kiss her forehead.
Still suckling, Rarity made a noise of acknowledgement before drifting off.
She awoke to a gentle shaking. Rarity tried hard to ignore it; she was still immensely tired.
"Wake up, Rarity," a familiar voice cooed. "Mommy needs to check your diaper."
What?!
Rarity bolted awake after that. "Hmmph?" She asked. Something was in her mouth. She looked down and saw a pink pacifier. Glancing around she saw the bars of a crib, and Lotus Blossom smiling motherly at her. Her memory came flooding back, and she remember just how much trouble she was in. "Mmmphfff!" she protested through the pacifier. She was still not strong enough to spit it out.
"Come on, sweetheart," Lotus coaxed. "Let Mommy check your diaper."
Humiliated, Rarity began to roll over. At least there was no way she would need a–
Crinkle. Crinkle. Squish
Rarity shuddered as she felt something cold and wet in her lower regions. Terrified, she looked down to see a massive, damp stain on her purple onesie. She whimpered.
"Oh wow, that's a doozie," Lotus remarked. "You must have been holding in a lot to soak through that thick padding of yours."
Rarity's face flushed, but she was still more mortified than embarrassed. How had she wet herself? She'd never been a bedwetter before, and now...
Lotus picked her up, cooing softly to calm her down. Rarity genuinely tried to feel panic, but between her relaxed body and Lotus's gentle voice she found it difficult. Instead, she felt safe and unconsciously suckled on the pacifier a little more.
"Mommy's going to fix you right up, sweetheart," Lotus promised, carrying Rarity over to the changing table. She set down Rarity down and began undoing the onesie. The wet garment was gently removed and put off to the side, with Lotus commenting about it needing to be washed. The blue mare then turned to Rarity's diaper. After a great effort, the unicorn was able to see the mess she made, and reviled at it. Her diaper was stained yellow, and dripping the repulsive fluid everywhere. It was then Rarity realized that she hadn't even used the bathroom since starting on her massive dress order.
Lotus wasted no time and removed the tape on the diapers, mercifully pulling it off and tossing it aside. She then brought out some baby wipes, and Rarity knew better than to complain at this point. She did, however, flinch with the cold wipes touched her lower region. After a calming coo from Lotus she allowed the wipe to invade every part of her undercarriage in order to clean her up. Lotus then pulled out another diaper, and Rarity's eyes widened as this one had to be twice as thick as her previous one.
"We don't want you ruining another onesie, now do we sweetheart?" Lotus asked. Rarity submissively nodded her head. The poofy diaper made it's way around her waist, and after a good dose of foal power, it was taped on.
Lotus set Rarity on the ground. "You should be able to crawl now, if you want," the mare remarked. Rarity looked around, and tried moving forward. Her front hooves had to do most of the work, as her back ones were spread uncommonly far apart thanks to her diaper, but she could get around just fine. She smiled, grateful to be mobile again.
Smiling, Lotus bent down and removed Rarity's pacifier. Her lips still suckled expectantly, but had nothing to grab onto and eventually stopped. "We have a little while before I feed you dinner Rarity. What does my wittle filly wanna do?"
Her cheeks heated up upon being called "wittle filly" and she fought down a defensive remark. Instead, Rarity looked around the room for something, anything, that may be tolerable in her current state. Her eyes fell upon the rack of frilly dresses at the end of the room.
"I wanna pway dwess up," she decided.
Lotus smiled. "Remember your manners, sweetheart."
With an indignant huff, Rarity replied. "Pwetty pwease, Mommy?" Lotus's smile grew brighter.
"Of course, dearie."
Lotus lifted Rarity up and moved her towards the dresses. There was an impressive selection, and Rarity distantly wondered where Lotus had acquired her selection.
"Which one does my wittle filly wanna try on first?" Lotus cooed.
Rarity glanced over her options. They were all immensely poofy and frilly, each sporting their own unique color and style. Finally, Rarity pointed to a cream colored dress adorned with pink bows.
"Dat one," she exclaimed, attempting not to sound enthusiastic.
Lotus happily obliged, taking the dress off the hook and set Rarity down. "Hooves up," she said, and the dress soon wrapped around Rarity's body. When it was properly fitted, Lotus reached for a tiara and stuck it on her head. "My pretty little princess," she squealed. The camera was retrieved shortly after, and Rarity tried her best to frown.
Five more outfits were tried on, each as frou-frou as the last. Lotus also had a wide assortment of foalish jewelry that she let Rarity try on, and even treated her as if she were royalty. Despite what Rarity tried to convince herself, she had fun. So much so that she was almost sad to be put back in a onesie. Almost.
"All right, sweetheart," Lotus declared. "It's time for my little foal to eat her dinner."
She disappeared into the other room, and came back with a high chair. She set it up and fetched several more things, setting them on a built in table to the highchair, out of Rarity's sight. Lotus then came back for her foal.
"Upsy-daisy," she said, lifting Rarity up high. She was carried over and strapped into the chair, and Rarity was finally able to get a look at what her meal was.
Containers of foal food and a bottle of milk.
I don't know what I expected. She thought.
"Mommy, no," she complained as Lotus tied a bib around her neck that read 'Mommy's Little Filly'. "I no wanna eat dat."
"You have to sweetheart," Lotus told her warmly. "Your little filly body can't handle any other food."
"No!" Rarity protested. "I no wanna!"
"Rarity," Lotus suddenly said sternly. The unicorn looked into her caretakers now cold eyes and remembered her blackmail promise from earlier.
"Okay," she mumbled submissively. "I sowwy, Mommy."
"Good girl," Lotus said happily. She unscrewed a can of baby food and brought out a spoon.
Dipping it in and pulling out a sizable chunk of the glop, she moved it towards Rarity's snout. "Open up for the choo-choo train, honey."
Hesitantly, Rarity opened her mouth and the spoon was slipped in. The foal food tasted like peaches, and Rarity actually found herself enjoying it as she swallowed. She made a satisfied noise to let Lotus know. Smiling, her caretaker gave her spoonful after spoonful, until that container was all gone. She opened up a second one and fed it all to Rarity, and then a third. When she finally finished, Rarity saw Lotus reaching for a cloth. She dabbed her tongue on it and proceeded to wipe off Rarity's face.
The unicorn was a little concerned about how sanitary this was, until Lotus removed the cloth and she saw just how much food had been on her face. Her caretaker then grabbed the bottle, and unstrapped Rarity from the high chair. She laid down on the ground, cuddling her foal for a while. Eventually she asked. "Does Rarity want her bottle?"
"Yes," Rarity replied with no resistance. She knew it was pointless, and decided to appease Lotus with false eagerness instead. "I wan' my baba, Mommy. Pwease."
The bottle came around, it's amber nipple centimeters from Rarity's snout. She parted her lips and felt the rubber enter slowly. Her suckling kicked in instantly. After a few short seconds, warm, creamy milk spilled into her mouth. She filled her cheeks, marveling at the taste for a moment, before swallowing. The milk was quite possibly the best she had ever had, and she greedily suckled for more.
She continued feeding from the bottle for what felt like hours, until it inevitably ran out. Rarity involuntarily whimpered as the rubber nipple left her lips.
"My, somepony was hungry," Lotus giddily remarked. She slipped a pacifier into Rarity's waiting lips, and the unicorn calmly suckled on it. "Are you full now, sweetie?"
"Hmmm," Rarity purred.
Lotus checked a clock on the wall. "My, it's getting late isn't it? You'll have to go to bed before too long."
"I no sweepy," Rarity yawned through her pacifier, which only elicited giggles from Lotus.
"A sleepy wittle foal like you needs her nap time." Lotus rubbed her nose against Rarity's cheek. "Yes she does, yes she does." Rarity couldn't help but giggle.
Then her stomach began rumbling.
It was a subtle noise at first, Rarity barely heard anything. The sound grew exponentially though, until it felt like it filled the room. Then it silenced, as Rarity began feeling a pressure move in her bowels.
"Does somepony need to go poopy?"
Meekly, Rarity nodded. "But I wown'," she adamantly said through the pacifier. "I no wanna messy diapee."
"Oh Rarity, I'm afraid you don't have a choice in the matter," Lotus sighed. "I suppose Auntie Aloe neglected to tell you. The relaxation massaged relaxes every part of you. Bladder and bowls included. That's why you wet the bed earlier, and that's why you're going to mess your diaper now."
"Wha?"
Then it happened. Like a damn bursting, Rarity felt a rush as her bowls emptied. A warm, filthy mush filled her diaper, pushing the fluffy garment until it crinkled. Rarity's face contorted into a mixture of horror and disgust. The shock factor alone forced her into a sitting position, the pacifier dropping from her lips, and that was a mistake.
The steaming mess compressed, spreading all around Rarity's rump. A second load soon followed, Rarity not even feeling this one exit. She only knew because her diaper suddenly became even fuller, and the mess spread around her thighs. She couldn't take it anymore.
She cried.
There was no sniffling, no whimpering, no tears welling up in her eyes; she just opened her mouth and started crying. She wailed and bawled and kicked her limbs as best she could.
Lotus picked her up, cooing softly. "It'll be okay, sweetheart." She gave Rarity a firm hug, and instinctively the unicorn wrapped her hooves around Lotus and sobbed into her shoulder. The blue mare gave Rarity a gentle pat on the back while she carried her over to the changing table.
"Me poopy," Rarity whimpered shakily. "Me... p-poopy." She couldn't believe it.
"Sshhh, everything will be all right," Lotus assured her.
Gingerly, she laid the crying mare down, careful not to let the mess get any worse. Lotus stroked Rarity's mane while quickly removing the tape. It was a great relief to Rarity when the diaper finally left her bottom, taking the bulk of the mess with it. The blue mare over her grabbed several wipes and began cleaning Rarity up. It look a long time, but her undercarriage was restored to it's pristine state.
Lotus diapered her again, the crinkling garment now a comfort rather than a interloper. Rarity sighed when the new diaper was finally taped on.
"Time for beddy-bye," Lotus cooed. She disappeared, and returned with a pair of hoofie pajamas. They were the baby blue of her coat, with her Cutie Mark as a decorative pattern. Rarity was buttoned up in no time, the warmth of the clothes making her tired yet again. Her nap earlier had been nice, but Rarity knew she needed a full night's rest more than anything.
She was carried over to the crib, and placed inside. Lotus walked away, and returned with a plush sheep in hoof. "Does Rarity want a snuggle buddy?" She asked. The white unicorn felt herself nod, and the sheep was placed in between her hooves. Lotus grabbed a pacifier.
"I wuv you, Mommy," Rarity said involuntarily. Lotus paused for a brief moment out of surprise.
"I love you too, sweetheart." She slipped the pacifier in Rarity's lips, and the suckling began. Lotus tucked in the covers, turned out the lights, and shut the door behind her.
Rarity snuggled her sheep happily. The last thing she heard before passing out was her own crinkly diaper.
"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, 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 disappointedly. "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?"
Lotus nodded, and gestured for Rarity to lay down. Like changing a foal, Lotus removed the diaper, which had miraculously stayed dry during the night. "Considering this was your first time... and the surprise it was... why don't we just say this session was free of charge."
"I won't complain," Rarity replied. "I do have a question though."
"Fire away," Lotus said, folding up the plush diaper. Rarity sat up.
"How come all those dresses fit me? I know I'm not the universal size, and they didn't have one-size-fits-all spells on them.
"Oh, that's easy," Lotus giggled. "You and Aloe are the same size."
"Uhm... quite," Rarity's eyes darted to the door. "I'll be going now."
"Bye... sweetheart."
Rarity froze and turned back. "Goodbye... mommy." Lotus face lit up. Rarity cleared her throat and left. She passed by Aloe on the way out, but avoided eye contact.
The clear air of Ponyville knocked away the last of her sleepiness as she stepped outside. Rarity began trotting home, giving the spa one final look for the day.
Her eyes lingered on the little room at the back.
