Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Rarity wasted no time in slipping the diaper onto herself, and powdering her rump. “I just don’t see why I have to give up my diapers already,” Rarity thought, knowing that this was a clashing ideal with the one her parents encouraged “Why can’t I just stay in them for a little longer? It’ll be at least another year and a half before I can attend Magic Kindergarten, assuming Mother and Father let me go. And if they don’t, I won’t likely have to worry about being out of diapers until I enter public school, and that is at least two years away.”

And yet, another part of her mind was thinking “But you are old enough to recognize the signs when you have to go, and staining your coat with yellow and brown is always unpleasant. The toilet exists for a reason, and Mother and Father would not make you give up your diapers if they did not think you were ready.”

Despite this clash, Rarity was content to enjoy the few diapers she had left. Once they were gone, there was no way she could obtain more without her parents finding out.

But, just seconds after she admired her padded rump in her bedroom mirror, the door to Rarity’s room was opened. In strolled Magnum, who was shocked at what he saw. “Rarity! Where did you get those diapers?! I thought your mom and I made it very clear that you were too old for them!”

Rarity could see that her father was upset, but she plucked up courage and stood her ground. “Father, I have no desire to get rid of all my diapers at once, just because you and mother say I am old enough to be toilet trained! I like my diapers, and wish to enjoy them for a little longer!” she said defiantly.

“Rarity, this is not up for debate! That diaper is coming off, and all your remaining diapers are going to be given to ponies who need them!” Magnum said crossly, as he began to light up his horn “You can’t stay in diapers forever, the time has come for you to be potty trained! No ifs, ands, or buts!”

But much to Magnum’s surprise, when he attempted to use his magic to take off the diaper, his efforts were foiled by the magic from his own daughter’s horn. Rarity seemed determined to hold onto her diapers, at all costs!

“I’m not giving up my diapers, just because you say so! There is nothing either you or mother can do to make me feel otherwise!” Rarity insisted, sticking her tongue out at her father.

“What’s with all this commotion?” Pearl asked, trotting into the room. She had overheard her husband and her daughter arguing, but hadn’t been able to pick up on what it was they were arguing about.

“Rarity is still wearing diapers, even after we told her the time had come for her to leave them behind!” Magnum explained “I’ve tried everything I can think of, but she won’t take it off!”

“Let me try, perhaps this simply calls for a softer approach,” Pearl suggested, and approached her diapered daughter “Rarity, why do you wish to keep your diapers?” she asked as sweetly as possible “Don’t you know you’re too old for them now?”

“You say I’m too old for them, but how do you know what is truly best for me?” Rarity replied “Shouldn’t it be up to me to decide when I’m ready to stop wearing diapers? These undergarments still fit me just fine, and although I am less than fond of the thought of using them for their intended purpose, I want to be able to enjoy this part of my life for long as I can.”

Pearl tried to take off the diaper as well, but only met the same results as Magnum.

“I’m sorry, Mother and Father, but I have made up my mind,” Rarity insisted, and began to walk away “If you want to continue to argue with me about this, do so. But I will not get rid of them, until I am convinced the time has come for me to start being a big filly.”

Pearl and Magnum sighed, it seemed there was little they could do. They had tried as hard as they could, but their daughter was apparently not ready to be out of diapers, even if she was at the age when most colts and fillies at least started potty training.

But, just as they were about to give up, an idea came into Magnum’s head. He quickly whispered it to his wife, then explained it to Rarity. “How does this sound for a compromise?” he asked his daughter “You can continue to wear, and use your diapers, for long as you have some left in your saddle bag. But once that last one has been used up, you will have to start using the toilet whenever you have to go.”

“That sounds acceptable,” Rarity shrugged “If it will get you and Mother to stop pestering me about my decision, I will agree to it. But if you even so much as try to get rid of my diapers when I haven’t used them, I will go back on our agreement.”

“Very well, consider it a deal.” Pearl replied.

For the next month and a half, Rarity continued to wear and use her diapers, and Magnum and Pearl reluctantly changed her as best they could. All the while, they kept a close eye on the diaper stack, watching as the number slowly diminished.

At last, one faithful day, Rarity used her last diaper. “I guess, all good things must come to an end eventually.” she thought unhappily to herself, as she proceeded to call for her father to come and change her out of the diaper.

Magnum made the process of untaping and removing the used diaper as quick as possible, while still making sure he gave his daughter enough time to pay her final respects to the padded undergarments, that had been wrapped around her bottom since the day she was born.

Once his daughter’s coat was nice and clean, Magnum lifted Rarity off the changing table, and led her to the bathroom. With a smile, he lifted the lid of the toilet, and said to his daughter “Climb up and sit down.”

“But Father, I-” Rarity began.

“No buts, Rarity. We had a deal,” Magnum replied “There’s nothing to be afraid of. Just sit down, and relax.”

“But there’s nothing to do, except sit on the seat, and that’s boring.” Rarity complained.

“Would you like me to read to you while you wait?” Magnum offered, as he carefully placed his daughter on the toilet seat “I think you’ll find, it will help to pass the time.”

“That would be splendid, and you know what book I would prefer.” Rarity insisted.

“Very well then, just sit right there,” Magnum instructed, and exited the bathroom “I’ll be back very soon with ‘The Big Book of Fairytales’. Assuming your mother has’t moved it... again.”
