Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Twilight Sparkle was currently regretting her decision to ignore the warnings from Daring Do, which had resulted in her slipping on two bracelets, that ended up turning her into a giant kangaroo.

To make matters worse, the only way for the curse to be undone, was for Twilight to help at least 25 other beings, within the span of two months. If she failed to do so, the curse would become permanent.

Quickly deciding that the best way to help as many beings as possible in the shortest amount of time (and thus reverse the curse), Twilight decided to make use of her new body, and offer her skills as a foalsitter. Her pouch made it easier to carry foals around, and was surprisingly more comfortable than your average stroller.

“I hope Pinkie Pie wasn’t being serious about Pound and Pumpkin Cake being a hoofful,” Twilight thought to herself, as she adjusted the thick diaper that covered her entire lower body stopping just shy of touching her pouch (Twilight had quickly discovered that trying to use a bathroom with her new body was easier said than done. An adult kangaroo did not exactly work with toilets designed for quadrupedal beings. To avoid accidents, she had reluctantly decided to wear diapers) “Well, if all goes well, this will count as beings 9 and 10. Which means I’ll just have to foalsit 15 more foals, and then I can finally reverse this curse.”

When she was certain that her diaper was taped up properly and wouldn’t slide off or leak, Twilight took a deep breath, and carefully hopped downstairs to the playpen, where Pound and Pumpkin Cake were innocently playing with their toys and occasionally sucking on their pacifiers.

“Hey you two,” Twilight greeted, forcing the best smile she could under the circumstances “Since it’s such a nice day, why don’t we go to the park? I hear they’ve got a new sandbox.”

The twins put down their toys, turned to Twilight, and spit out their pacifiers as they cheered in excitement. They loved visiting the park, all of their friends hung out there (as did some of “Auntie Pinkie Pie’s” friends, but none of them ever understood a word the twins said. The three and a half year olds’ words could only be understood by those within their age range, and to an extent, Pinkie.), and there was always something new to explore. Maybe this time, they’d finally work up the courage to try that big slide they’d heard so much about.

“Okay then, give me a moment to pack everything we’ll need,” Twilight said in an overly sweet tone of voice “You two won’t disappear on me before I get back, right?”

“‘Kay, Auntie Twilight, we be good!” Pumpkin Cake promised “Right, Pound?”

“Yeah, we be best behaved foals ever!” Pound Cake nodded “We not go anywhere, cwoss ouw hearts and hope to fwy, stick a cupcake in ouw eyes!”

Convinced the twins knew better than to break a ‘Pinkie Promise’, Twilight hopped away to pack a diaper bag with everything that would be necessary for the twins. She also packed a few spares for herself.  After double checking (and triple checking just to be safe) to make sure she hadn’t forgotten anything, Twilight carefully slung the diaper bag filled to the brim with foal supplies over her shoulder, and hopped back to the playpen. She proceeded to carefully scoop the foals up, and gently stuff them into her pouch “Comfy?” she asked the twins.

The twins nodded, and delighted in sticking their hooves out to poke Twilight’s padding.

As Twilight prepared to hop out the door of Sugarcube Corner, she couldn’t help but worry. This was the first foalsitting assignment that required her to leave her castle. And considering her current destination, it was a guaranteed certainty that somepony was going to spot her.

The question was, what would Ponyville think to see the Princess of Friendship as a giant kangaroo in a giant diaper? She hoped that they would understand, which was almost a certainty.

Twilight took a deep breath, and hopped out into the morning light.
