Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

All Derpy could do, as she felt the all too familiar feeling of a fresh diaper being taped to her rump, was wonder to herself “Just how do I get into these situations?”

“No need to worry yourself, Miss. Hooves.” Time Turner said, as he completed the diapering job and threw the old diaper into the trash. “It could’ve happened to anyone.”

Derpy knew that wasn’t true, nopony but her would’ve even thought about eating those muffins. There was a reason she always ordered her favorite treat from Sugarcube Corner. But this one time she had decided to try this other bakery she’d heard about. And despite all the obvious signs that the muffins were bad, she’d eaten them anyway.

“It’s a good thing Nurse Redheart had those medical diapers in your size.” Time Turner said to Derpy.

“Yeah, lucky me.” Derpy said sarcastically, sighing to herself. The doctor’s orders were specifically to wear diapers, until the medication they’d given to sooth her upset stomach was out of her system. And that was going to take a long time.

“Look on the bright side, Derpy.” Time Turner smiled “You don’t have to worry about anything. You can just relax, and leave everything to me.”

“You don’t have to cheer me up.” Derpy replied at last, the crinkling of her diaper being the only noticeable sound admisit the otherwise empty silence of her hospital room. “You told me those muffins were bad, but I didn’t listen. This is my own fault. Just leave me alone, and ask the doctor when I’ll be able to use the bathroom again.”

“You’re not the only one who’s done stupid things.” Time Turner said seriously “I’ve ended up in diapers for worse problems than just eating some bad food.”

Derpy suddenly forgot all about feeling sorry for herself, she was interested in hearing what her friend had to say. “Oh really?” she asked Time Turner.

Time Turner nodded “Before I became the self proclaimed ‘Master of Time’ I was a vivid tinkerer. I loved nothing more than to take apart clocks and watches to see how they worked, and then try and see if I could put them back together. As a result, I amassed quite a collection of timepieces and small clocks.”

“I fail to see where you’re going with this.” Derpy interrupted.

“Just wait, I’m getting to the good part.” Time Turner explained “One day, I was in my workshop, working on trying to piece back together an antique clock from town hall’s basement. But I forgot to pay attention to what I was doing, and I ended up causing my entire shelf of hourglasses, watches, and clocks, to collapse on top of me!”

Derpy was shocked to hear such a thing “That’s horrible! What happened next?!” she asked Time Turner.

“Well, I ended up having an accident right then and there.” Time Turner admitted “When my assistant Roseluck found me, she was horrified and nearly fainted. Lucky for me, she didn’t. And after unpinning me and cleaning me up, she took me to the hospital. I was diaper dependent for weeks. And for months afterward, Roseluck would never let me forget about it.”

“That’s quite a story.” Derpy replied, once Time Turner had finished.

Time Turner nodded “Do you see now, Derpy? Everypony has accidents every now and then, and it doesn’t always mean we’re stupid. The important thing is that we learn from our mistakes, and never repeat them.” Just then, a familiar smell filled the air. Time Turner knew at once what it meant.

“Uh, my bad?” Derpy shrugged, as Time Turner sighed and set to work on changing her for what felt like the umpteenth time.
