Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Flameboy Shy tried his best to not move, as the x-ray machine began to scan with a click his lower regions. He was glad he at least had a diaper and a sheet of lead to cover up his private parts.

“Just relax, this should only take a few seconds.” Nurse Redheart called, standing behind the desk that housed the controls for the machine. The patient she was tending to was one that had a rather unusual problem.

It had all begun when Flameboy Shy was just a baby. His parents had tried to potty train him, but for some reason he never seemed to be able to make to the bathroom in time. At first, they just chalked it up to him being a slow learner, and they kept at it.

But as Flameboy Shy grew older, and he was still unable to get to the toilet in time, his parents started to grow worried. They consulted every book on parenting and potty training that they possibly could, but they found no answers.

At last, they had decided that they needed to see a doctor. And on that fateful visit, Flameboy Shy and his parents received the news that would change their lives forever.

“I’m afraid that your son is incontinent,” the doctor explained “He will diaper-dependent for his entire life.”

“How could this be possible?” Shy’s father had asked, furiously shaking the doctor.

“Incontinence is a very difficult subject, and it is one that we are still conducting research.” the doctor had replied calmly “The most likely cause in this case might be damage sustained during childbirth, though it is just a theory.”

“Can’t you cure it?” Shy’s mother had asked hopefully.

The doctor shook his head “Incontinence cannot be cured. Since we do not know what causes it, we do not know what needs to be done to fix it. There could any number of things that could be a factor in control of bodily functions, and determining what ones are not present or not working could take years of research.”

“So then, what are we suppose to do?” Shy’s father had asked.

“For now, all I can do is recommend that the diapers you buy do not leak. There are all sorts of diapers made for people that cannot control their bladder or bowels.” the doctor explained again, writing down a list of diaper brands designed specifically for incontinence.

“Is there anything else we can do?” Shy’s mother had asked.

“Well, we could schedule your son for an X-ray everytime he visits.” the doctor had suggested “By comparing and contrasting the taken X-ray photos with patients that have control of their bodily functions, we may possibly discover new information about incontinence. And one day, that new information could potentially lead to a treatment or even cure.”

And so it was that Flameboy Shy would always have an X-ray taken whenever he visited Canterlot Central Hospital. Over the years, he had tried his best to put up with the endless amount of teasing and bullying he received as a result of his condition.

On numerous occasions, he would be pantsed, and his diaper exposed to all of his classmates. And the bullies would always reply with mean jokes like “Does the little baby need a change?” or “Hey Flameboy, what stinks? Oh, it’s just you.”

Flameboy Shy was fortunate that the teachers and students at Canterlot High were much more accepting of him, and largely willing to leave him alone. It still really awkward to raise his hand in the middle of class, and ask for a change.

“Okay, we’re all done.” Nurse Redheart said, as the X-ray machine was turned off.

Flameboy Shy rose from the table as soon as he was instructed to do so. When he did, he felt a familiar squishy feeling press up against his backside.

Nurse Redheart wasn’t phased at all by the fact that Flameboy Shy had just messed himself, by now she was used to it, and always made to sure have the necessary changing supplies on hand.

“Follow me to the bathroom, and we’ll get you cleaned up.” Nurse Redheart instructed to Flameboy Shy, and the two of them marched out of the X-ray room together.
