Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Rarity quickly set to work on designing her new “attire” in her workshop. It was small and only had one sewing machine, but it was better than nothing.

“Never really thought the first thing I’d design after getting my cutie mark would be a diaper.” Rarity thought to herself, as she began to cut out the pink fabric that she would use for her diaper. Something about a plain white diaper just didn’t seem very appealing to the fashionista to be. If you were going to make your own diapers, why not have a little bit of fun and customize them to your liking?

Working day and night for several days proved to very exhausting for Rarity, but she was absolutely determined to go through with her newfound “interest”. Several times she had to start from scratch because something didn’t turn out just the way she wanted it. First, she had to design and create a new diaper when she felt that the one she had originally designed wasn’t poofy or absorbent enough. Then, the onesie didn’t work without revealing a huge bulge in the back, and for Rarity that was a big no no. Even the buttons and the zipper gave Rarity a lot of trouble, but eventually she managed to get everything designed just right. At last, she was ready.

Now came the really hard part, and the one part that Rarity was not looking forward to at all. The time had come for her to tell her parents about her “interest”, and her intention to be a playmate for her baby sister.

“Maybe I should just not tell them, and play with Sweetie Belle in private.” Rarity thought to herself, as she eyed her creations that lay stacked on the table. The diaper and dress were ready to be put on, but Rarity decided that rather than rush into things, she would save them for later and start off by trying to talk to her parents.

Rarity was a nervous wreck, as she slightly opened the door of her workshop, and saw her mother and father sitting on the couch. From the looks of things, they seemed to not have a care in the world (which was quite rare considering how demanding of a foal Sweetie Belle was).

All that Rarity needed to do now, was walk through the door and talk to her parents. If all went well, she would guide them back to her workshop and show them the diaper and dress, and put them on. After that, the rest was up to her parents.

Gulping, and taking a deep breath, Rarity pushed open the workshop door and trotted over to where her parents were sitting. Clearing her throat she said “Mother, father, there is something I would like to discuss with you.”

“What is it, my little princess?” Magnum asked his daughter.

“Well, you know how Sweetie Belle doesn’t have anypony to play with?” Rarity began, trying to figure out how to best break the news to her parents.

“Of course we do,” Pearl nodded “Where exactly are you going with this?”

Rarity swallowed hard, this was it, the moment of truth. “I… wish to be Sweetie Belle’s playmate!” she said seriously.

“Are you trying to say, that you want to dress up as a foal and act like one?” Magnum asked nervously.

“Indeed I am. I could not think of how to properly phrase that statement.” Rarity replied.

Magnum and Pearl were speechless, they could not believe what their older daughter had just told them. Rarity had been incredibly eager to get out of diapers once she was old enough to be potty trained. And up until Sweetie Belle had been born, she had never once seemed to show signs that she missed being a baby. In fact, from the questions their daughter had been asking just months ago, Magnum and Pearl were convinced that Rarity was determined to grow up as fast as possible.

Something like this just didn’t make any logical sense at all.

“Well, I await your replies.” Rarity said, interrupting the silence that had enveloped the room. In the back of her mind, she was already starting to think herself about how this hadn’t been a good idea. “Mom and dad have their hooves full as it just looking after Sweetie Belle. There is no way they will accept another baby, especially not one as big as yourself.”

At last, Magnum cleared his throat and spoke up. “Rarity, your mother and I appreciate the fact that you have been honest with us. To tell you the truth, we suspected that you might have such an interest when we saw the discarded drawings in your bedroom. We just didn’t want to confront you without knowing if the sketches meant what we thought they meant.”

“So, do you not wish for me to be an ‘adult baby’ as I believe they are called?” Rarity asked sadly.

“Rarity, we have said no such thing!” Pearl scolded “We are your parents, and we could not hate you for liking such a thing. Everypony has their own ways of enjoying themselves and being happy, and if this interest if yours is what makes you happy, we will support you wholeheartedly in indulging in it.”

Just as soon as those words left Pearl’s lips, Rarity ran up to her parents and hugged them tightly “Oh, thank you. Thank you so much!” she said with tears in her eyes, before regaining her composure “Come with me to my workshop, there are some things that I wish to show you.”

Magnum and Pearl obeyed, and in a matter of seconds they were in Rarity’s workshop, where they saw a pink cloth diaper with swirls, gems, and hearts printed onto it. Next to the diaper rested an onesie that was light purple in color, with a hatch for diapers that could be opened or closed with a zipper and several snap-on buttons.

Rarity wasted no time in demonstrating how her diaper and onesie could be put on and taken off, making sure to walk through the steps in a fashion that her parents could understand.

“So, how far are you planning on going with this ‘interest’?” Magnum asked his daughter.

“To be honest, I do not know.” Rarity confessed “I have not really had a chance to experiment with the different degrees of wearing diapers and frilly dresses.”

“Well, however far you decide to take it, know that you’ll have our support,” Pearl said kindly “And if you decide to use your diapers, you can always come to us and ask for a change.”

“You would really be okay with changing a big pony?” Rarity asked.

“Anything for our little princess.” Magnum said happily.
