Cheating the Cycle of Life- A Padded Pony Collab

Ever since that fateful day when Applejack had taken Granny Smith’s advice, and tossed out Apple Bloom’s cloth diapers, Apple Bloom had found it harder and harder to keep fooling her family into thinking she was using the toilet, without actually doing so.

At first it was as simple as putting her hoof into the bowl and striking the surface, then “wiping” herself with toilet paper and flushing the toilet. But eventually, Apple Bloom found that she would sometimes have to empty her used diapers into the toilet, to make it sound more convincing.

Fortunately, through the help of her good friends Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo, Apple Bloom was able to wash out her diapers, without her family catching on.

Apple Bloom often her body fighting against her, begging her to do her business in the toilet, but she refused to do so. She liked her diapers, and if she could help it, she was gonna keep using them for as long as she could.

But now, Apple Bloom was finding herself in a situation that she couldn’t help but think was a nightmare. Apparently, Pinkie Pie had convinced Applejack to invite some of Apple Bloom’s friends and classmates over for a costume party. Needless to say, Apple Bloom panicked at the thought of trying to keep her secret diaper useage hidden from so many ponies. If any of them found out, she would be in big trouble.

Unfortunately, despite Apple Bloom insisting that the party be held somewhere else. preparations were made. And at long last, the day of the party arrived. Realizing that she had no other choice, Apple Bloom decided that she would just have to wear her diapers under her costume, and keep all the supplies for a change hidden inside the pockets.

This limited Apple Bloom’s options to only one costume. She realized, that if she dressed up as an archer, and disguised the pockets with arrows, she could avoid suspicion and continue to wear and use her diapers during the party.

Looking at herself in the mirror, Apple Bloom couldn’t help but notice the slight bulge in her rear that wasn’t hidden all that well by her archer costume. But she would worry about that only if she needed to. After all, she’d been able to fool her family into believing she was using the toilet for so long already. She could easily think her way out of explaining a bulge in her costume.

Apple Bloom quickly walked out of her room, and went to join the party. By now, she was used to walking about with some added weight. You never would’ve guessed she had a diaper on, or that she was planning on using it.

The party was in full swing by the time Apple Bloom walked in. Applejack and Big Macintosh were keeping an eye on the crowd, making sure that the colts and fillies were under control.

Apple Bloom quickly took notice of a few costumes.

Sweetie Belle was dressed up like a baby with what looked like a “fake” diaper, but Apple Bloom suspected that the diaper was real. No doubt, Sweetie Belle had somehow managed to fool Rarity into letting her dress up like a foal. And it had probably taken little skill to swap out the costumed diaper for a real one. With Rarity’s hoof work, nopony could tell the difference.

Scootaloo was unsurprisingly dressed up as Rainbow Dash, including blue face paint, and cardboard wings.

Diamond Tiara was dressed up like a princess, complete with fake wings and a horn, as well as having swapped out her tiara for a fake crown.

Button Mash was dressed as this “video game character” that Apple Bloom had only heard about once. Button’s costume included a fake mustache, a red hat, and bright blue suspenders. Button was even talking in a ridiculous accent that Apple Bloom couldn’t take seriously. “Does he really think anypony talks like that?” Apple Bloom thought to herself.

And Silver Spoon appeared to be dressed up like a clown, or at least that’s what everypony assumed she was. She claimed that her costume of mismatched objects was suppose to represent Discord, but it seemed way too absurd to look anything like the lord of chaos himself.

“Hey, Apple Bloom. Cool party huh?” Sweetie Belle asked, as Apple Bloom walked over to her padded friend.

“Tell me about it. It’s so nice to be able to dress up on a day besides Nightmare Night.” Apple Bloom replied, as she helped herself to some of the party food.

“Do you like my diaper?” Sweetie Belle asked with a light giggle, as she turned around and showed her padded rump to Apple Bloom.

“It’s very nice. Where did you find it?” Apple Bloom asked in reply.

“Oh, I just took one of my old foal diapers. Apparently, they still fit me quite well.” Sweetie Belle explained.

“You ain’t gonna use it, are you?” Apple Bloom asked worriedly.

“Not around all these ponies. I’m gonna try to use when I’m heading home after the party is over.” Sweetie Belle replied, and then quickly waddled off to find Button Mash.

Apple Bloom continued to enjoy herself enormously at the party. Even Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon seemed to reluctantly treat Apple Bloom nicely for once.

Apple Bloom also tried her hoof at some party games, including pin the tail on the pony, and bobbing for apples.

Unfortunately, all the party food that Apple Bloom ate eventually digested. And when it did, her lower regions began to give off a feeling that the yellow coated filly knew all too well.

“I can’t use my diaper out here. I’ll get caught for sure.” Apple Bloom thought to herself, and she knew what needed to be done.

Quickly and quietly, she slipped away from the party guests, and headed to the bathroom. Once Apple Bloom was safely inside, and had locked the door shut behind her, she let out a sigh of relief.

Taking off her costume, Apple Bloom stripped down to just her cloth diaper, which was currently still clean. That was about to change. But first, Apple Bloom took the liberty of removing all the necessary changing supplies from her costume. This included a new diaper, some wet wipes, and a small canister of foal powder.

Lifting up the lid of the toilet bowl, Apple Bloom peered down into it. Then, she began to push and her bowels began to release. Timing it just right, she struck the surface of the water with her hoof, just in case Applejack might be listening on the other side.

Apple Bloom smiled once her work was complete, and used a few squares of toilet paper to clean off her hoof. Then, she trotted back over to where her changing supplies were, and proceeded to change herself. It had taken quite a bit of practice at first, but by now, Apple Bloom was a pro at changing out of a dirty diaper and into a clean one.

“A job well done, if I do say so myself.” Apple Bloom said happily, once she had cleaned herself up and changed into a fresh diaper. Now she could rejoin the party, and nopony would be any the wiser to what had just happened. All that remained, was to put the dirty diaper somewhere out of sight until the party was over. Then, Apple Bloom could come back, pick it up, and take it to be cleaned.

Unfortunately, before Apple Bloom had a chance to do much of anything with her old diaper, she heard the sound of hooves knocking on the bathroom door. “Hey, Apple Bloom. Hurry it up in there, will you?” Applejack called from the other side of the door “Other ponies have to use this bathroom too you know. Is everything okay?”

“What?! Oh… y-yeah, everything is just fine.” Apple Bloom replied quickly.

“Well, finish up pretty soon, or I’m comin’ in there!” Applejack threatened seriously.

Apple Bloom began to panic. There was no way she could hide the dirty diaper in such a short amount of time, and there was certainly no way she was going to expose her secret to Applejack. Applejack would blow her stack, and likely ground Apple Bloom for months. Not to mention, she would confiscate all of Apple Bloom’s diapers, and make sure to hide them somewhere where the filly wouldn’t be able to obtain them.

“What am I gonna do?! What am I gonna do?!” Apple Bloom thought nervously to herself. She grabbed her used cloth diaper, and tried to think of where she could put it. Every single place she thought of she quickly dismissed, knowing that it wouldn’t be able to stay hidden for long.

Then, Apple Bloom looked at the toilet, and a thought came to her mind. What if she just flushed her stinky diaper down the toilet? Sure, she’d be flushing away a re-usable cloth diaper, and she did not like that idea at all. But it was just one diaper, and she had plenty more hidden away that she could use. Besides, she could always try to ask Sweetie Belle to fish it out later. Ponies flushed things down toilets all the time, surely there had to be a magic spell that could retrieve things that you didn’t intend to flush.

“Apple Bloom, I’m not gonna say it again!” Applejack said crossly “Come out of that bathroom right now, or I’m comin’ in!”

“Just a moment, Applejack! I gotta flush the toilet!” Apple Bloom replied, frantically tossing the cloth diaper into the toilet bowl, and pulling the handle to flush. Apple Bloom watched, as the cloth diaper began to spin around and around. “Come on! Go down! Go down! Go down!” Apple Bloom pleaded silently.

But much to Apple Bloom’s horror, the cloth diaper did not go down the drain. In fact, the water itself did not go down the drain. There was a noise, and the water began to rise up through the bowl, taking the diaper with it. “Uh-oh.” Apple Bloom said to herself, as she realized what was going to happen.

“Apple Bloom! What in the hay is going on in there?!” Applejack asked furiously, as she heard the sound of the toilet clogging up. Rather than wait for a reply, Applejack busted down the door with a firm kick.

As soon as Applejack set hoof in the bathroom, she felt her hoof be soaked by toilet water which was now flooding the bathroom floor. The toilet had overflowed completely, and the source of the problem quickly revealed itself to Applejack.

Floating in the bowl was a cloth diaper that was Apple Bloom’s size. Applejack had changed similarly looking cloth diapers for quite a while, but it had been months since Apple Bloom had stopped using them and started using the toilet.

And yet, there was a cloth diaper, a used one no less. And it was floating in the toilet bowl. To make matters worse, Apple Bloom herself was in nothing but a cloth diaper. It didn’t take Applejack long to realize what was going on. “Apple Bloom!” she shouted, as she felt her anger rising to levels that it normally never rose to.

“Uh, this isn’t what it looks like?” Apple Bloom said nervously, even though she knew that argument wouldn’t hold up. She was in big trouble.
