Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

“I can’t believe I’m actually doing this, I must be crazy.” Trixie thought to herself, as she peered out at the gathered crowd from the safety of her stage curtain. The performance wasn’t slated to begin for a couple more minutes, but those minutes only made Trixie’s nervousness increase further.

Since being freed from the destructive influence of the Alicorn Amulet, Trixie’s stage career had resumed in full force. Most ponies quickly forgot about the Ursa Minor incident, and realized that Trixie had turned over something of a new leaf.

But despite her efforts to change for the better, following the amulet incident, Trixie still had one secret that she hoped would remain secret forever.

She looked down at her rump, lifting her cape up in the process, and breathed a small sigh of relief “Good, it’s still there. It shouldn’t fall off during the performance.” Trixie thought to herself, as the traveling magician eyed the white diaper hidden beneath her cape.

Many ponies had speculated how it was that Trixie was able to perform on stage for far longer than was possible for most magicians. To which, she replied with the golden rule of any illusionist “A good magician never reveals her secrets.” While this was most certainly true, that wasn’t the only reason Trixie didn’t want to reveal the truth behind her only claim to fame.

Sure, she occasionally dropped the illusion when performing for younger crowds. But that was done to make them not feel bad about their need for diapers, and she hoof waved it by claiming she borrowed one and put it on before the show. The foals in attendance always bought it, hook, line, and sinker.

“Alright, the show will be starting any minute now. Might as well cast the spell, while I still have time.” Trixie thought to herself, and carefully lit up her horn, making sure not to produce too much noise and attract unwanted attention.

A light pink swirl of magic surrounded the diaper beneath the cape, and with a barely audible poof, the diaper appeared to vanish.

Of course, Trixie knew the truth. It hadn’t disappeared, the spell she cast simply made the diaper invisible to the naked eye, and covered up the smell when it was used. Having performed her tricks so many times, Trixie had mastered the ability to walk about with a diaper on, without a tell tale waddle. The same held true for the few occasions where she could not stop the performance in time to take a bathroom break. She simply distracted the audience with something, until she had finished her business, then she continued to perform as if nothing had happened.

Trixie took great care after her shows when disposing of her diapers, and changing. And prided herself greatly on keeping everypony fooled.

“Well, this is it. The time has come for my greatest performance yet,” Trixie thought to herself, and gulped as she made her way on stage “The time has come, for Trixie to ‘entertain’ her former rival, Princess Twilight Sparkle.” All she could, do was hope that the spell she had cast, would hold until the performance ended. Because already, Trixie could feel the stress of who was in her audience today adversely affecting her bodily functions.

But, as the old saying went “The show must go on!”, even if that meant performing in a used diaper.
