Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

“Well, hello my little Appiano,” Cadence greeted with a motherly smile “I hope you had fun with your Auntie Twilight, because now you’re going to spend some quality time with your mommy. And we’re going to start, by picking out a pair of pajamas for you to take your nap in.”

Appiano wanted to speak up and protest Princess Cadence’s decision, but Twilight quickly gave him a mental cue that told him he shouldn’t open his mouth. Cadence didn’t know about the fact that her Appiano had been accidentally swapped out with the Appiano from the human world, due to an accident with the portal.

Sunset Shimmer and The Rainbooms [as well as a few of the Crystal Prep students that happened to be visiting at the time of the incident] were taking care of the baby Appiano as best they could, but Twilight estimated that it would take a couple of weeks for her to repair the portal and make everything right.

In the meantime, the regressed Appiano was to act as if he were truly Cadence’s foal, at least when she was present. Twilight hadn’t broken the news to her about the swap, and was currently debating how to best do so. Especially since her human world counterpart had disappeared soon after arriving in Equestria, and nopony had any clue as to where she was.

Appiano reluctantly stayed silent, as Cadence pulled out a dresser filled with all sorts of pajamas for her little foal. When word got out that the crystal couple was expecting their first child, no expense had been spared in ensuring the child would be raised in the utmost comfort.

“This looks like a good pair to try on,” Cadence smiled, as she brought out a midnight blue one piece sleeper that featured Star Swirl The Bearded, and his two most famous proteges, Clover The Clever and Princess Platinum. It was noticeable for including a hatch that could open and close with a zipper, for easy diaper changes “It’s got some of the founders of Equestria, and the almighty Star Swirl himself.” She wasted no time in laying Appiano on the changing table, and putting the pajamas on him.

Then, with minimal effort, Cadence lowered Appiano into his crib, and pulled the purple bed sheets up over him. “Sweet dreams, my little Appiano.” Cadence said softly, as she kissed him lightly on the cheek, and activated his mobile.

“Well, at least these pajamas aren’t itchy,” Appiano thought to himself, as he yawned “One thing’s for certain, I will have quite the tale to tell my friends. Assuming I ever return to my world.”
