Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Rarity felt incredibly relieved to know the truth about being a “Teen Baby”. She’d been so fearful of it being a bad thing, something that was against the law. But now, she felt comfortable enough to decide the time had come to tell her secret to her friends.

That was, assuming they hadn’t already found out somehow. Rarity could well remember all the times she’d left her supplies in her bags, and left said bags unattended. Knowing the curious natures of Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, Rarity suspected that the two of them may have tried once or twice to find out what was in her bags.

But even if they did know, it wasn’t likely that the rest of The Rainbooms would believe them. Rarity certainly wasn’t the sort of person would suspect to have a secret involving a desire to act like, and be treated like, a baby.

One thing was for sure, The Rainbooms were about to be in for a big surprise.

As soon as school had ended for the day, Rarity went to her locker and retrieved the bags that housed her baby supplies. Then, taking a deep breath and plucking up courage, she made her way to the music room.

“What do you suppose Rarity’s secret could be?” Applejack asked Sunset Shimmer, as she and the rest of The Rainbooms waited impatiently for Rarity to arrive.

“Who knows?” Sunset Shimmer replied with a shrug “It could be anything.”

“I’ll bet the secret is that she likes watching that show with the colorful cartoon horses that I’ve been hearing so much about lately.” Fluttershy suggested.

“You mean that new ‘My Pretty Pony’ show that comes on the air on Saturday mornings?” Pinkie Pie spoke up “I sometimes watch that with Pound and Pumpkin Cake.”

“I’ve seen that show, it’s alright.” Rainbow Dash shrugged.

“Eh, these days it ain’t so much of a secret that ‘My Pretty Pony’ really hit it off with an older audience.” Applejack replied.

“Kind of reminds me of my old life back in Equestria. Except, we never had things like television or cartoons.” Sunset Shimmer said to no-one in particular.

Rarity arrived just a second later, and set her bags down on the ground. She then cleared her throat, and all eyes fell on her. “As you all know, I have decided to share a…… ‘secret’ that I have kept from you all for so long,” she began “Part of why I did so, was because I thought it was something forbidden and inappropriate. But thanks to a certain individual that I shall not name, I have learned the truth.”

“Well, get on with it then.” Vinyl Scratch encouraged. She normally wasn’t one to talk, seeing as she was always swept up in her music. But ever since she became The Rainbooms sound manager, she’d been coming out of her shell a little bit.

Deciding it was no use beating around the bush, Rarity came clean and confessed “I am what is known as a ‘Teen Baby’,” she told her friends “For some time now, I have had a desire to behave as I was when I was young. To that end, I have indulged a little into certain aspects.”

“Does that mean you’re wearing a-” Rainbow Dash began.

“Yes.” Rarity interrupted.

“And your bags are filled with-” Pinkie Pie went on.

“Indeed,” Rarity interrupted again “I apologize for cutting you off, but I am still a bit ‘uneasy’ when discussing my new found interest.”

“Well, if you’re really wearin’ a you-know-what, then why don’t you show us?” Applejack asked, attracting a lot of suspicious eyes “I just want to make sure this ain’t all some elaborate prank you’re pullin’.”

“I suppose actions do indeed speak louder than words in this situation,” Rarity replied, gulping a bit “Very well, I suppose I shall ‘undress’ myself a little so that you may see for yourselves.” And with that, Rarity pulled down her purple skirt, dropping it to her knees and exposing a diaper as white as snow.

Rarity then opened her bags, revealing a huge package filled with similar looking diapers, some wet wipes, a canister of baby powder, a diamond colored pacifier, a rattle, several stuffed animals, and pink footie pajamas with a matching onesie.

“So, you weren’t pullin’ our legs after all.” Applejack spoke up, as Rarity zipped the bags shut. She did not pull her skirt back up.

“Indeed I wasn’t,” Rarity replied, as she saw her friends looking uneasily at her. “I know this is a lot to take in, and I know it must be hard for you to understand why someone like myself is so interested in this ‘Teen Baby’ stuff. But I assure you that, whatever you might have been told about it, it is not immoral, or at all related to paedophilia. It is a harmless thing that is simply misunderstood. And I ask that at the very least, you tolerate my secret!”

“Rarity, we would never think any less of you for this.” Fluttershy spoke up.

“Yeah. Mr. and Mrs. Cake told me that it’s perfectly fine for people to have interests related to being a baby, and that it’s perfectly normal.” Pinkie Pie added.

“And we all know that being a ‘Teen Baby’ is not at all the same as being a paedophile,” Sunset Shimmer finished “If it makes you happy, then we’re more than happy to accept your secret. In fact, I think we could have a lot of fun with you being a ‘Teen Baby’.”

“You mean, you’d all like to be my caretakers?” Rarity asked, her friends all nodded “Oh, thank you! Thank you all so much! It means everything to me!”

“Ah, no problem, Rarity!” Vinyl Scratch said happily, then a faint smirk began to form on her face “So, how’s about we get you changed into a fresh nappy?”

“Whatever are you talking about?” Rarity asked, before she looked down at her crotch. Her diaper’s snow white color had vanished, and had been replaced with a faint yellow tint.

“Ah, I don’t believe! You just went and wet yourself!” Rainbow Dash said, chuckling slightly.

“Don’t worry, Rarity. Auntie Pinkie Pie will get you all nice and clean.” Pinkie Pie said cheerfully, as she grabbed Rarity’s bags, and then dragged Rarity off to the ladies room of Canterlot High.
