Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Pinkie Pie waited impatiently by her mailbox outside Sugarcube Corner. The package she had ordered was to arrive today, and she could hardly contain her excitement.

She paced back and forth who knew how many times, but seconds ticked by, then minutes, and still the package did not come.

“Pinkie, maybe you should come inside,” Mr. Cake urged “Cup Cake and I can pick it up for you.”

“Carrot, darling, I think it’s best if we just let her continue to wait,” Mrs. Cake said sweetly “After all, once that package arrives, we’re going to be busier than ever taking care of our new baby.”

“I still don’t know if it’s such a good idea to let her indulge around the house,” Mr. Cake said nervously “What will Pound and Pumpkin Cake think?”

“I’m sure they will love to have a new playmate. Besides, they look up to Pinkie Pie, and I’m sure they’ll be overjoyed to know that she’s like one of them.” Mrs. Cake replied.

“I guess it shouldn’t have surprised me that she would have this ‘interest’.” Mr. Cake said to his wife “She’s always been so playful, and we never really got a chance to know her as a foal.”

“All the more reason why we should let her wait for her package to arrive,” Mrs. Cake smiled, as she and her husband headed upstairs “Let her enjoy the amount of independence she wants to maintain. As her soon to be mother and father, we need to respect the limits she sets down.”

“I hope that means you’re not going to leave me to be the one that has to always scold her if she misbehaves.” Mr. Cake said teasingly.

“If our little Pinkie Pie wants to act like a naughty foal, then we’ll punish her as such.” Mrs. Cake replied, as she and her husband prepared the nursery in Pinkie Pie’s bedroom. They had everything they would need, including a changing table that was just the right size for their little pink ball of joy.

Just when Pinkie Pie thought that her package wasn’t going to arrive today, she heard the familiar sound of pegasi wings flapping in the distance.

With a smile, she looked up to the sky, and saw Derpy Hooves descending with a rather large package carried in a cart attached to her back.

“Hello, Derpy! Do you have my ‘special order’?!” Pinkie Pie asked eagerly, once Derpy was on the ground.

“It’s all here and ready for use whenever you want,” Derpy said with a smile, then reached into her saddlebag and pulled out a clipboard with a piece of parchment clipped onto it “Just sign your name on the dotted line to clarify you got the package. And don’t forget to pay for it.”

Pinkie Pie took a pen in her mouth, signed the proof of purchase form, and forked over the necessary amount of bits to Derpy. She then grabbed the package, and opened it without hesitation. Inside was a pack of custom designed diapers made for her by Rarity’s good friend, Coco Pommel in Manehattan.

“Do The Cakes know about your order?” Derpy asked, as Pinkie Pie slipped one of the diapers onto her rump.

“They do. When Rarity found out about my secret, she insisted that I tell The Cakes before she talked with Coco about designing the diapers.” Pinkie Pie explained.

“Well then, I hope you and The Cakes make the most out of those diapers. And if you need a playmate, just ask and I’ll see about arranging for Dinky to come visit.” Derpy replied, and took off once again.

Pinkie Pie bounced happily back into Sugarcube Corner, where Mr. and Mrs. Cake were waiting for her.

“Ready to have some fun, my little Pinkie Pie?” Mrs. Cake asked her new foal.

“You bet I am, mommy!” Pinkie Pie giggled, even as she felt her stomach giving off a familiar gurgling sound of discomfort.
