Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Sometimes, living in a castle could have its drawbacks. And Spike was quickly discovering one of those drawbacks for himself, boredom.

“There is absolutely nothing to do.” Spike complained to himself, as he roamed the empty hallways of Twilight’s castle. Twilight had come back from a meeting looking rather tired, and had retreated to her room. She had specifically told Spike that she was not to disturbed under any circumstances, before leaving him to his own business.

It was times like this where Spike really missed those guys only weekends with Big Macintosh and some of the other Ponyville stallions. Whether it was talking about the latest hoofball game, playing cards, or even participating in changeling war re-enactments, there was always fun to be had.

By now, Spike had lost track of how many times he had wandered the hallways. But even if he’d been keeping count, he wouldn’t have cared. “What I wouldn’t give for a cure to this boredom.” he thought to himself.

Suddenly, as Spike passed by the bathroom, he was surprised to see that the door was still open. Twilight was normally not one to forget to close a door, but Spike didn’t think anything was up as he walked towards it.

“Twilight probably needs me to unclog a toilet, again.” Spike sighed, and walked through the open door. To his surprise, however, Twilight was nowhere to be seen. And the toilet was flushed and clean.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, Spike saw something hidden behind the rolls of toilet paper. Pushing them aside, Spike was surprised at what he laid eyes on.

There was a package of mare sized diapers, and from the looks of things it had been opened not that long ago.

“Well, this would explain that funny smell that’s been coming from Twilight’s room every now and then.” Spike thought to himself, remembering that he’d specifically asked Twilight about it and she had told him it was the result of a practical joke.

Spike had his suspicions, but right now he was more concerned with the absorbent undergarments that Twilight had apparently been stashing in the bathroom. He took one of the diapers out of the package, and instantly took in the smell of a fresh diaper.

“I wonder what it would be like if I put one on?” Spike thought to himself, as he examined the diaper he now held in his claws. When he squeezed it, he could feel the softness as it crinkled in response.

Setting the diaper on the ground, and opening it up, Spike carefully tapped it to his rear. Already, he could feel the added bulk of the undergarment. He playfully pressed a claw against it, and emitted a light giggle when he heard the crinkle.

After moving the package back behind the rolls of toilet paper, Spike waddled his way out of the castle bathroom, leaving the door open. He intended to be back at least once, there was something he needed to obtain to complete his newfound cure for boredom.

As Spike neared Twilight’s bedroom, he wasn’t certain how he’d be able to get Twilight to leave without revealing that he’d been snooping. And considering what happened the last time somepony had invaded Twilight’s privacy, Spike was more than a little afraid that Twilight would be furious with him.

But when Spike finally reached Twilight’s bedroom, all he could hear on the other side was loud snoring. Upon slowly turning the door just enough to peek, Spike could see Twilight curled up in bed, hugging Smarty Pants tightly in her hooves. A noticeable bulge underneath the sheets indicated the presence of a diaper.

Spike breathed a sigh of relief, as he quietly opened the bedroom door all the way. Quick as a flash, he tiptoed into the room, grabbed the canister of foal powder that lay on the ground, and tiptoed back out. “Sweet dreams, Twilight.” Spike said softly, as he closed the bedroom, taking great care not to slam it and wae Twilight up.

A few seconds later, Spike was back in the bathroom, and was sprinkling some powder into the back of his diaper. The scent of foal powder felt so relaxing that he felt tempted to curl up and lay down right there. Were it not for the cold bathroom floors (and the fact that it would look pretty ridiculous) he would do just that.

“That should be enough, for right now.” Spike said to himself, and put the canister of foal powder next to the rolls of toilet paper. Something told him that wouldn’t be the last time today he’d need the canister's’ contents.

“Man, I can’t believe I didn’t think of doing something like this sooner!” Spike said happily “This has to be the best cure for boredom I’ve ever discovered!”

Just then, a familiar tension arose in Spike’s rear. It was then that the baby dragon remembered, he had participated in a pancake breakfast with his friends not too long ago.

Spike eyed the toilet with one eye, and his diaper with the other. “Well, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to see what it feels like, just this once.” he said to himself, as he turned and walked away from the toilet.
