Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Diamond Tiara was currently regretting not cleaning up after herself and allowing her mother to catch her in her foal supplies, including her favorite onesie.

It was bad enough when her mother hit her relentlessly for several minutes, leaving her beaten and with a broken muzzle.

But now, Spoiled Rich had gone to Filthy Rich and told him all about her discovery. When Filthy Rich learned of his daughter’s secret, he had only responded with “We will discuss this later!”, but the way with which he had said it made Diamond Tiara feel like she was going to be in for another beating.

Nervously, Diamond Tiara made her way into her father’s study, taking great to remove her onesie and diaper, and store they away out of sight beforehoof. She wasn’t sure if she wanted to take the chance of letting her mother burn all the foal supplies.

Slowly raising a hoof, Diamond Tiara knocked on the door of the study.

“Come in.” Filthy Rich said coldly, making Diamond Tiara wince slightly.

Diamond Tiara reluctantly did so, and upon entering the study, she saw her father sitting in his favorite chair by the fireplace, reading the daily news.

When Diamond Tiara appeared besides him, Filthy Rich slowly put down the newspaper, and looked his daughter in the eyes. “You know why I’ve called you here, right?” he asked Diamond Tiara.

“Y-yes.” Diamond Tiara stuttered, and gulped, mentally preparing herself for the verbal (and possibly physical) beatdown that was sure to come.

“I’m not goin’ to pretend I understand why you wish to dress up and act like a little foal,” Filthy Rich began, a glare forming in his eyes “Because I don’t! I can’t possibly understand why you, or anypony for that matter, would ever want to act like a baby! It’s not natural, and it certainly isn’t the sort of behavior I’d expect from somepony like you! This could very well affect your social standin’ if anypony were to see you like this!”

“But Daddy, I know a lot of ponies who visit this place!” Diamond Tiara pleaded “And a lot of them are just like me!”

“I don’t care if the whole town visits that foal supply store!” Filthy Rich snapped “A pony like you doesn’t belong with ponies who want to run around, suckin’ on pacifiers, and cryin’ like toddlers!”

“But you and Mommy said I could do whatever I wanted with my allowance,” Diamond Tiara replied, a few tears streaking down her face “It’s not like I was doing anything illegal.”

“Just because it’s not illegal doesn’t mean it’s right,” Filthy Rich scolded, and shook his head “I will not have you spendin’ my precious bits at that store! If you really want to go ahead and waste your life on those stupid things, you get a job and pay out of your own pocket for them! And don’t expect me or your mother, or even Randolph to change you if you decide to use your diapers around the household! You wanna use ‘em so badly, learn how to change ‘em yourself! And you better not go around public dressed the way you were when I caught you! Do I make myself clear?!”

“Yes Daddy.” Diamond Tiara said sadly. Despite the small amount of leniency contained in her father’s statement, she knew that he was furious. She suspected that it was only because Spoiled Rich had reacted so harshly, and beaten Diamond Tiara the way she had, that had kept him from insisting she give up on indulging in her newfound pastime.

“Despite what you might think, Diamond Tiara, I’m not mad with you,” Filthy Rich said softly “Disappointed, but not mad. I understand you’re going through a difficult point in your young life, and naturally you want to escape it by any means necessary. But I didn’t get to where I was by shirkin’ responsibility just because I couldn’t handle it. It’s fine if you want to blow off steam and unwind, but do it sparingly and not in public. If I find out you’ve disobeyed these instructions, I’m goin’ to have to side with your mother, and insist that you get rid of all your foal supplies. Understand?”

“Yes.” Diamond Tiara nodded slowly.

“Good,” Filthy Rich said with a smile, and gave Diamond Tiara the newspaper “Start searchin’ in there for job openings, and make sure to check around town. You’d better find a good payin’ job, because diapers aren’t cheap. And you’re not gettin’ anymore allowance. I may be showin’ you leniency, but I expect you to respect the conditions I’ve laid out.”
