Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Night Light looked out the window of the train car he was in, and sighed. He was headed for Ponyville, per the request of the marriage counselor he been seeing since he became aware of Velvet’s insanity.

“I really don’t understand why this is necessary,” Night Light thought to himself, as the town of Ponyville came into view in the distance “How exactly is visting my wife, at this business she has started with one of the alleged ‘friends’ of my daughter, going to help us ‘work through this difficult period’ as the counselor put it? What if one of my political rivals finds out about this? I have gone to great lengths to keep Velvet’s ‘actions’ out of the public limelight, both for the sake of my career, and for the sake of sparing her from the harsh judgements that would be placed onto her by a public that knows only half the story. It makes no sense, and yet, I’m doing it anyway.”

Just a short time later, the train pulled into the station, and halted with a hiss of steam.

The conductor shouted through the cars “Ponyville, last stop! All passengers must leave the train! Thank you for riding with us.” And with that, passengers young and old alike got out of their seats, collected any luggage they had brought with them, and stepped onto the station platform.

Night Light just sighed again, as he rose from his seat near the rear of the train, and picked up his suitcase. “If only there was a better alternative to all of this.” he thought to himself, as he too exited the train. He was relieved that his wife was not there to greet him, and neither was her partner that was said to be the unofficial town greeter.

After stopping at the hotel he was staying in for the duration of the trip, and dropping off his suitcase in his room, Night Light departed for the business his wife was running.

Night Light didn’t get far, before he realized he needed to stop and ask for directions. Luckily for him, he found the perfect pony to ask in the form of an orange coated mare, with a brown stentson hat that rested atop her mane of golden locks.

Clearing his throat, and hoping he didn’t attract any unwanted attention to himself, Night Light asked the mare “Excuse me, but would you happen to have directions to-” he paused, before continuing in a softer tone “‘Pinkie Pie and Twilight Velvet’s Foalish Fun Place’?”

The mare replied with a look that seemed to convey “Why do you wish to know about that place?” but she still told Night Light where he needed to go.

“Thank you ever so much for your help, madam. Now, I must be going.” Night Light replied, and with the directions firmly committed to his memory, he set off once again.

It did not take Night Light long to find the location of his wife’s business. From a distance, he could easily see the building, due to the brightly painted colors and foalish paint scheme.

“Well, I suppose there’s no point in delaying the inevitable,” Night Light thought once again to himself, as he sighed, and made his way through the doors of the adult daycare center his wife had established “At the very least, perhaps this will allow me to understand, why there are actually ponies that enjoy being treated like little foals and diapered.”

“Hello, welcome to Pinkie Pie and Twilight Velvet’s Foalish Fun Place, my name is Abacus,” Abacus greeted from behind the desk, and hoofed a brochure to Night Light “Please, select an indulgement from the options listed below.”

Just a few seconds later, while he was still looking through the brochure, Night Light heard a faint “Gasp!”. He looked up from the brochure in time to see a pink tail that looked like cotton candy disappear through one of the doors at the back.

In the blink of an eye, the mare attached to the pink tail returned with Twilight Velvet, who seemed both surprised and happy to see her husband again. “Oh, hello, honey! I had no idea you were coming!”

Night Light just sighed, and forced the best smile he could under the circumstances “I am, sorry I did not send you an advanced notice of my arrival. I wished to surprise you,” he then cleared his throat a bit and said “I wish to receive the full service. It is my understanding that it costs 30 to 35 bits, depending on the customer.”

Twilight Velvet replied with a smile that felt much more sincere than Night Light’s, which only made him feel all the more uneasy “This is the price for regular customers, but for a special little one such as yourself, I’ll offer a Sparkle family discount. You’ll get the treatment for half the price, so that’ll be 15 bits.”

Night Light dug into his saddle bag, and gave Abacus the appropriate amount of bits. Abacus accepted the payment, and wrote down Night Light’s order on a piece of paper, which was given to Velvet.

“Please, right this way, darling. We’ll get you all nice and padded, and then you can interact with some of the other foals I’m looking after!” Twilight Velvet said, as she grabbed her husband by the hoof, and sweetly led him to the stallion changing room not unlike the way a mother would walk with her foal.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Sparkle,” Pinkie Pie whispered, as Night Light was taken to the changing table and set on its padded surface “Everypony here knows to respect each other’s privacy. They only talk about the business in front of ponies they know from here, or wish to bring in. The towns ponies don’t seem to mind. Your secret is safe with us.”

“That, is the best news I’ve received since I planned this trip.” Night Light replied, as his wife booped him on the nose a bit.

“So, does my little colt have anything special he wants on his diapees? I have all sorts of different designs.” Velvet cooed.

Night Light, deciding that he should make the most out of the situation, said in reply as foalishly as he possibly could “Can mommy pick out my diapees for me?”

“Of course, if my little colt wants his mommy to pick out what he wears, that’s fine by me.” Velvet said sweetly, as she retrieved a Star Swirl The Bearded brand diaper from a pack beneath the table. She proceeded to lift up Night Light’s rear, slide the diaper underneath it, tape him up, and powder him. Once she was certain Night Light was comfortable, she cast a spell that engulfed his crotch. It only lasted for a little bit, and then Velvet used her magic to bring Night Light down from the changing table.

“Hopefully, somewhere beneath the insanity, is the mare I fell in love with and married,” Night Light thought to himself, as he was led to the upstairs nursery.

All the same, part of Night Light couldn’t help but find what he was going through to be ‘enjoyable’, to an extent. He had never seen his wife so cheerful and so full of life since Shining Armor was born. Perhaps, this ‘business’ that she ran, was her way of returning to that timeframe.
