Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

“Rarity, can you hurry up and change me already?” Pinkie Pie pleaded from inside one of the stalls “My diaper is getting all cold and squishy, and it’s really uncomfortable.”

“I’m coming, Pinkie Pie, just hold on for a moment.” Rarity called, and walked into the stall Pinkie Pie had gone into earlier, locking the door shut behind her so she could change her friend in privacy.

This left Applejack and Rainbow Dash to wait impatiently by the sinks for Rarity to finish changing their rather energetic and random friend.

“I can’t believe Caramel went and gave Rarity those X-Ray Goggles, I’m not a little baby!” Applejack grumbled to herself.

“Considering you weren’t potty trained at all until just now, I’d say you are!” Rainbow Dash teased “Speaking of which, you gonna start wearing big girl panties, or you gonna stay in diapers for a little longer?”

“I’ll make the transition when I’m darn good and ready, you worry about yourself!” Applejack complained.

“I was just asking a question, no need to get all defensive!” Rainbow Dash replied.

“Well, keep those kinds of questions to yourself from now on! Or I’ll put you on changin’ duty, you won’t be laughin’ then!”

Rarity quickly changed Pinkie Pie into a fresh pair of diapers, making sure to wipe her friend down thoroughly, and apply a generous amount of baby powder to her nether regions.

“Remember what I said about fizzy drinks.” Rarity warned, as the two friends walked out of the stall, and washed their hands in the sink.

“But I like fizzy drinks, they’re so fizzy!” Pinkie Pie protested.

“Pinkie Pie, I’m not always going to be around to change you, and I doubt you want to ask any of our other friends to change you,” Rarity replied in a tone of voice not unlike that a mother would use to scold her child “Unless you want your secret to be known to everyone at Canterlot High, I suggest you cut back on your fizzy drink consumption. It’s not good for your teeth, or your body.”

Pinkie Pie sighed, but reluctantly agreed. “Well, I guess we’d better get going to school. Today is Taco Tuesday, again.”

“Taco Tuesday, huh? Guess that means we can expect to see Sonata in line at the cafeteria.” Rainbow Dash commented, as she, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity left the bathroom. Rarity made sure to keep her X-Ray goggles close at hand, she was particularly looking forward to using them on her classmates.

She suspected that some of them were secret diaper lovers, but had no way of proving it, until now.

“Hey girls, what’s up?” Sunset Shimmer called, as she joined her fellow Rainbooms for lunch in the school cafeteria. Since she wasn’t a big taco person or burger person (being a pony, Sunset Shimmer had gotten used to a largely vegetarian diet, a diet that had carried over to her human form) her tray was filled with various vegetables and fruits.

“Not much,” Fluttershy replied “Although, Rarity seems to have picked up a very unusual piece of equipment from one of Applejack’s cousin.”

“What do you mean?” Sunset Shimmer asked nervously, hoping that no one had heard the faint crinkling noise she’d just unintentionally given off.

“Apparently, Caramel got these old X-Ray goggles from someone named Billy Cobra, and let’s just say they produced some ‘interestin’’ results.” Applejack explained.

“X-Ray Goggles?” Sonata Dusk asked, as she helped herself to the empty seat next to Sunset Shimmer. Since The Battle of The Bands, Sonata had become the only siren to frequently hang out with The Rainbooms. Adagio and Aria had largely faded into obscurity, only occasionally bumping into The Rainbooms during class. Neither of them ever said anything.

“Yeah, and they work all too well.” Rainbow Dash said glumly, as she began to chow down on her burger.

“How do they work?” Sonata asked innocently.

Despite the protests of everyone else, Rarity reached into one of her pockets, pulled out the X-Ray Goggles, and gave them to Sonata. “Put these on your eyes and then flicker the first switch.” she instructed.

Sonata obeyed, and she was amazed at what she saw “Oh, wow! This is way cooler than anything I did with Adagio and Aria! But don’t tell them I said that!”

Everyone else at the table (except for Rarity) began to sweat bullets, Sunset Shimmer especially suddenly felt the need to be anywhere but where she was currently was. But she was certain that if she tried to get up and leave, she would attract suspicion, which was the opposite of what she wanted.

“Hey, what’s this?” Sonata asked, as her attention was drawn to The Rainbooms. More specifically, to what they had under their skirts. Before anyone could stop her, Sonata began to blurt out loud “Oh, cool! So, everyone at this table, except for Rarity and I, are wearing either diapers or pull-ups! Sunset Shimmer’s wearing a diaper with cute little pony designs, Fluttershy has a pull-up with pink butterflies, Rainbow Dash is wearing a pull-up that’s pink all the way and has flowers and butterfly patterns, Pinkie Pie’s wearing two plain white diapers, and Applejack is wearing a diaper with red apples on it!”

“Oh, nice going, Rarity! Now you’ve gone and blown our secret to Sonata, and she just blabbed to the whole school!” Rainbow Dash complained “I knew it was a mistake to let you keep those goggles!”

“Come on, Rainbow Dash, this is Sonata we’re talking about. She makes Pinkie Pie look normal by comparison,” Sunset Shimmer said kindly, despite the obvious blush on her cheeks “I doubt anyone actually believes what she just said was true. Sonata’s known for her wild fantasies.”

“So, when were you plannin’ on tellin’ us about the fact that you wear diapers as well?” Applejack asked Sunset Shimmer.

“I was going to do it when I felt confident enough, and felt that it wouldn’t destroy our friendship,” Sunset Shimmer admitted “I actually came out to Flash Sentry first, and Princess Twilight.”

“And how long has Flash known?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Only for the better half of a month.” Sunset Shimmer replied.

Pinkie Pie, meanwhile, had turned her attention to Fluttershy. “I never pegged you as a diaper lover, Fluttershy. Or, should I say, pull-up lover?”

“They just felt so nice, and comfortable,” Fluttershy confessed “I never intended to get into wearing them. But I guess the secret is out.”

Sonata Dusk, meanwhile, continued to look at various classmates with the X-Ray goggles. She was surprised to discover some of the things that the goggles exposed, most surprisingly, that her fellow siren, Adagio, was a smoker. She kept her cigars tucked into one of her skirt pockets.

“Wow, I never knew I wanted these things so badly! Are you sure I can’t obtain my own pair?!” Sonata asked Rarity, as she turned off the goggles, and gave them back to their original owner.

“I’m afraid so, but I think we can try to track down Billy Cobra, and ask him if he has any other pairs he’d be willing to part with,” Rarity offered “But you have to promise me that you’ll use those goggles wisely. I don’t think too many of the students here would appreciate knowing that you can see through their clothes. There’s a reason why Preschool teachers no longer use them, you know.”

“Oh, thank you, Rarity! You’re the greatest!” Sonata cheered, and went back to eating her tacos.

Just then, a rather foul smell began to fill the air. Suspecting that it was coming from one of her friends, Rarity pulled out the X-Ray goggles. She then whispered “Did somebody here have an accident?”

Everyone denied it, including Applejack, who seemed to be trying to hide something. Determined to discover what that something was, Rarity put the X-Ray goggles on, and began to check each of her friends. One by one, each of them was found to be clean. But when she came to Applejack, she discovered that her friend had apparently used her diaper, and from the looks of things, it was starting to sag.

“Applejack, why didn’t you tell me you had to go?” Rarity scolded “Now you’ve gone and soiled your nice new training panties,” She rose from the table, walked over to Applejack, and led her away “Come on, we’d better find a bathroom to get you changed. And next time, I hope you’ll tell me the truth when this sort of thing happens. Unless you want to stay diaper dependent for the rest of your life.”
