An Unusual Punishment

Dizzy Twister hadn’t been having a good week with her daughter. She couldn’t tell why, but, for whatever reason, Scootaloo kept disobeying everything she told her.

She was beginning to reach her breaking point, but she had the feeling that she'd be able to help her daughter any way possible.

When Dizzy Twister got home, the house was a mess again, dishes were on the floor, laundry wasn’t done and of course Scootaloo’s room was the messiest it had ever been.

“I don’t know what’s gotten into that filly, but this has to stop.I can’t do all the work, I have a job, I’m going to have a talk with her when she gets home.”

She decided to just clean the house, but she wasn’t going to touch Scootaloo's room, she’d at least leave that for her, if the filly decided to clean it.

After cleaning the house a bit, Dizzy looked at the time to see that Scootaloo likely wouldn’t be back home for another couple of hours, so this gave her some good time to drink a little bit of wine.

Now, she wasn’t the type of pony to get drunk or anything, but sometimes, she loved to just sit down and take a sip of alcohol.

Scootaloo was with her friends plus, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. They had just gotten some tasty Ice Cream and, once the five finished the Ice cream, they went their separate ways.

Sweetie, after waving goodbye to the other fillies, decided to stay and ask Scootaloo some questions. Something had been bothering her and she’d rather give Scootaloo the respect not to ask her in front of the others.

The two sat down on a bench near the Ponyville Park.

“Scootaloo….. why have you been disobeying your mother? Sweetie asked. It was very concerning to the young unicorn. Whenever she went over to visit Scootaloo, she always seemed to hear somepony yelling and it was always Scootaloo who started it because she wouldn't do her chores, but all this negativity wasn’t good to Sweetie.

Scootaloo tried to keep a smile on her face, but she couldn’t, her mother always kept her in a bad mood, which was mostly why Scootaloo tried to get home as late as possible.

“Look, Sweetie, it's none of your business. I just don’t want to talk about it.” with that she waved bye to her friend, and galloped home where she expected to get yelled at or maybe grounded, who knows.

Sweetie stood there alone watching Scootaloo walk away. “I just hope you two figure this out,” she murmured softly, and walked back to her own home.

When Scootaloo got home she dropped her bag in the middle of the floor. She was about to go up to her room, however, she heard her mother call her name before she could even reach the steps.

Scootaloo wasn’t exactly sure what her mother needed, but maybe she was ready to apologize for yelling at her all the time.

Scootaloo walked into the living room to see her mother looking at her with a slight frown.

Maybe she's mad after all… she thought.

“Scootaloo, I’ve told you to start cleaning the house when I’m not home. You need to start doing your chores, what's the matter with you? Oh and don’t get me started with your room, it smells…. it smells like a rat died in there or something! Just clean your room please,” Dizzy finished, asking nicely.

Scootaloo stomped her hoof as hard as she possibly could and yelled, “NO! I’m tired of doing work for you! Why should I have to work my butt off after a hard day of school? That’s right, I shouldn't. Now I’m going to bed. Goodnight, mom…”

Scootaloo ignored anymore calls from her mother and slammed her door shut once she reached it, and she made sure to lock it tight.

Dizzy Twister sighed. This had been going on for a whole month, nothing she said or did seemed to get through to that filly.

Hm, maybe I should see Twilight tomorrow. Maybe she can help me with this problem she thought, walking up to her room, but pausing and glancing at Scootaloo’s locked door. “I just want to help you, baby.” She was more saddened about this, no matter what, she couldn't seem to understand the problem.

Scootaloo started misbehaving right after she got her cutie mark. For some reason, after that, something had been causing her to act like a little brat, more in cline with how her new friend Diamond Tiara used to act.

No matter how many times she tried to help her daughter, it never ended in a polite talk. Instead, it became an argument.

She couldn’t stand it anymore. If Scootaloo kept this up, she'd have no choice but to give up and just accept her daughter's choice, but this was also one reason she needed to see Twilight. She had always taken care of Spike, so she might have some good advice on the matter.

Soon enough the sun came up. The morning was the same as usual: Scootaloo ate her breakfast and left without saying a single word to her mother.

Dizzy Twister had decided last she’d tell her boss she’d be taking the day off from work today, in order to go see Twilight.

Dizzy Twister picked up her saddle bag, left the house and started trotting her way work, where she informed her boss about her day off, before making her way to Twilight’s castle.

When she arrived, Spike politely let her in, took her bag and placed it in a closet by the door.

When Dizzy asked where Twilight was, he told her that the lavender alicorn was in the living room.

Dizzy Twister nodded and thanked Spike.

Entering the living room and finding Twilight, she bowed down to her in a polite manner, it was only courtesy to do such things in front of a princess, although she, like a lot of Ponyville, knew Twilight didn’t like it when ponies did that, but she couldn’t help it.

Once Dizzy Twister took a seat, Spike came in with two cups of hot Tea. They both thanked Spike. After a few sips, Dizzy started telling Twilight everything that's been happening. When she finished, Twilight looked confused.

“I’m sorry you're going through this. I mean it's very odd behavior for Scootaloo and you say this happened a month after she got her cutie mark?” Twilight asked, taking a sip of her tea.

Dizzy Twister nodded and put her cup down “It’s very frustrating Twilight; I’ve used every form of punishment I can think of, but nothing seems to be working. Maybe….maybe I should just, ya know, give up let her do whatever she wants,” she finished, lowering her head.

Twilight spit her tea out. “No, you shouldn't! She needs to learn who's the boss, and that pony is you!” Twilight said firmly.

Dizzy Twister quietly listened, sighing as she remembered something her boss had told her when she’d gone over and asked for the day off.

“Maybe you could do something for me, Twilight?”

She asked, looking to the Princess of Friendship.

Twilight cocked an eyebrow. “Okay. What can I do?”

“Perhaps you could watch her for the week? I just found out I’ve got a meeting to go to and they need me in Cloudsdale for a week. I’m sorry this has come so sudden, but I could use it as a break. Get my head around some things.”

Twilight thought about it. She could use this as a chance to try the punishment she used on Spike when he acted badly. It might be just the thing to get through to Scootaloo in normal methods of child punishments weren’t working on her.

“Okay, I’ll do it. But, I must ask, do you think I could punish Scootaloo in a…. different way?” At the odd look, she added, “It's nothing bad, I promise. But I think it will teach her a lesson.”

Dizzy Twister continued to look at Twilight, confused. “What kind of punishment?” she asked.

Twilight leaned forward and whispered, it into her ear. A blush came over Dizzy’s face.

“That sounds like a... very embarrassing way to punish her. But, I guess if you believe it will work then I’ll allow you to do it,” she said.

Once they finished talking, Dizzy Twister walked home and started packing a few things for her trip. By the time she finished, it was time for Scootaloo to get home.

As if by clockwork, Scootaloo walked in. When she noticed the suitcase, she looked concerned. “Uh, Mom, what's with the suitcase?”

“I’m going to Cloudsdale for a week, so I won’t be here to take care of you,” she began. However, she was rudely interrupted by Scootaloo before she could finish.

“Wait you won’t be here…. for a whole week? YES! I got a whole week by myself” Scootaloo cried, excited, pumping the air.

“Ahem.” The filly looked to her mother. “No, Scootaloo, you're not staying home by yourself; I’m leaving you with Twilight. She's going to take extra good care of you while I’m gone. It'll be fun, I promise,” she added when she noticed the frown forming on her daughter’s face. “Besides, I hear she has some very fun things you two can do.”

Scootaloo didn't like that, but... she'd be living with Princess Twilight for a week, so there would be a lot of trouble she could get into while she stayed there. Plus that castle was so big. She could explore it a little.

“Alright, Mom. I guess I won’t mind staying with her, but can I pack the stuff I want to take with me first?” she asked. Dizzy nodded and Scootaloo left for her room fast.

Dizzy Twister couldn’t help smiling. This was the first conversation they had without a fight in what felt like such a long time. This was a good start.

Within ten minutes, Scootaloo came back with a saddlebag likely full of toys and maybe a few books.

“You all packed Sweetheart?”

Scootaloo nodded. “Yup. I can’t wait to go to Twilight’s I got so much planned,” she said with an evil smirk.

Dizzy Twister giggled. Oh, I think you’ll find this week a lot harder than you think, sweetheart, she thought she walked out the door with Scootaloo following behind her. You’re not the only one with something planned.

As they walked through Ponyville Scootaloo was trying her hardest to keep her excitement in. Once they had arrived, Scootaloo knocked on the door and once again, Spike welcomed them.

After he’d closed the doors, Spike gestured to show Scootaloo her room while Twilight talked with Dizzy Twister.

“So I take it you got everything you need to take care of Scootaloo?” she asked once the two younger ones were out of earshot, concerned if there was anything she’d needed to buy prior.

Twilight smiled. “Oh, don’t you worry. I’ve got everything that's needed. With Cadance expecting a foal of her own, I’ve been preparing for the times I’ll be no doubt foalsitting her, not to mention what I have left over from when I did this with Spike. Trust me, Scootaloo is going to love it. I think all she really needs is to feel young again. As much as she and her friends wanted their Cutie Marks, I think she realizes that part of her life is over now and feels a yearning to return to some semblance of it. I’m 100% positive she’ll love the treatment she's going to get.”

Dizzy Twister sighed. “I’m sorry. I just worry about her sometimes. But, if you truly think this will work, I trust you.

Well, I better get going. Good luck, Twilight….. you'll need it” she muttered that last bit, waving goodbye and left, heading to the train.

Twilight waved and closed the door.

She didn't exactly know if she should do it now or wait till bedtime, but she decided to ask Spike for some help on that.

She found the baby drake in the kitchen, getting some food out.

“Hey, Spike? I was wondering... do you think I should pamper Scootaloo now or wait till tonight?” she asked. She couldn't decide if doing it now would be a right course of action.

Spike paused in what he was doing, thinking carefully about the answer to her question. “If I were you, I’d just let her get used to the place and then, once it's bedtime, you can do whatever you plan. I’m sure she will love it.”

He was halted from continue again due to receiving a hug from Twilight.

“Alright, then. At bedtime, she’ll get her treatment. It's a good thing I pulled out all of your old baby stuff last night”

“You do have rules to give Scootaloo as well….right?” he asked. He couldn't see Scootaloo being treated like a foal without some form of rules being involved.

Twilight smiled. “Don’t worry about it. I’ve got a few rules for her, not too many, but she should understand what will happen if she breaks any of these rules.”

She walked out of the kitchen and headed to the map room. She needed to think about these rules a bit.

When it was six o'clock, Twilight thought it would be the perfect time for young fillies to go to sleep.

She went outside and saw Scootaloo trying her hardest to gain some flight. Rainbow Dash has been telling her to keep doing wing ups and she would eventually get the hang of flight.

“Okay, Scootaloo, it's bedtime,” Twilight called out. She knew Scootaloo would have a fit or something, so when she the frown appeared on the filly’s face, she just levitated the Pegasus onto her back.

“WHAT! Come on, Twilight, it's only six o’cloak. Can’t I stay up longer; Mom always lets me stay up till nine! This isn’t fair!” she pouted.

I get the feeling it’s not so much her letting you as you just making it she has no other choice, Twilight thought wryly.

“Well, sorry, Scootaloo, but those are my rules and, as you’ll be staying under my roof for the week, you’ll be obeying them,” Twilight said, as they went to Scootaloo’s room... or rather, the room she planned her to stay in. “Besides, little foals need their rest.”

Scootaloo looked around the room, her anger cooling as she noted something odd about it; the floors were pink, there was a changing table and to make matters worse, it looked like a foal’s room, as in a baby’s room.

She was very confused as to what was going on. “Uh, this isn’t the room Spike showed me. What going on?”

Twilight levitated Scootaloo onto the changing table and put her on her backside, to which the young filly became even further confused by and a little worried.

“Well, Scootaloo, you’ve caused your mother quite a lot of stress recently, so she came to me for help.” Twilight explained, reaching for a bottle of powder. “And, in answer to her plea, I’ve come up with the best way to help you. Until you learn to act your own age, you will be treated as if you are a foal!” As she spoke, she used the powder, puffing it onto Scootaloo’s no longer Cutie Markless rear, got a white diaper and put it underneath Scootaloo, beforing taping it on.

Once she was diapered, she levitated an Onesie and put that on Scootaloo, too, zipping the back nice and tight.

“Now I have some rules and you must obey them. Don’t obey and your punishment will increase longer. I have all week, after all.

Number one, “No removing the diaper. Only I or Spike can do that. If you have to go or anything, you can use the bathroom for that but do remember that Diaper IS your toilet.”

Twilight thought for a second but this seemed like reasonable rules to her. “Do understand this isn't in anyway trying to make you horribly embarrassed, just a little. Do you accept my rules?”

Scootaloo didn’t respond at first. In truth, she’d been in shock since the moment Twilight started diapering her.

However, now that Twilight hadn’t finished, Scootaloo was snapped out of her daze. She had, however, heard every word Twilight had said and, after thinking about it for several moments, huffed.

“Not much I can really do so…. sure I accept.” Then her eyes widened and she looked pleadingly at the lavender mare. “Just please don’t let Rainbow Dash see me like this! It would destroy my reputation with her!”

Twilight smiled coyly. “As long as you obey rule two, I promise she won’t find out.” With that ,she put Scootaloo into the crib, turned out the lights. As she turned to leave, Twilight murmured, “Goodnight, sweetheart. Tomorrow will be a lot of fun, I promise,” and left.

Every Time Scootaloo rolled over or did anything she'd hear the diaper crinkle, which annoyed her more then anything. It was a little tight due to the Onesie she was wearing, but aside from that, she had to admit she felt okay.

After some time though, she tried taking it off, but the zipper to her clothing was on the back, where she couldn't reach.

“This is so stupid,” she pouted, folding her forehooves. Why did I even agree to this? I’m not a baby!”

But, despite her protests, within three hours she finally fell asleep.

Twilight's Deal

The night passed by rather fast for Scootaloo. She was able to sleep without being able to use the bathroom so that was a plus, the one thing that she found really hard was the diaper, it was soft but it also made her bottom half start to sweat a little. Rolling from side to side she tried to get as comfortable as possible, but it didn't work out too well, “This is stupid,” Scootaloo thought, being treated like a foal wasn't exactly how she thought she'd be spending her week, “Now I wish Rainbow Dash could watch over me, at least she's better than Ms. Egghead! And she wouldn’t be treating me like I’m two years old!”

After a long period of time complaining about Twilight and the diaper, Scootaloo looked outside the window that was next to her room, luckily she was actually upstairs so nopony who looked in could see her.

Scootaloo looked at Luna’s beautiful night sky, admiring how pretty it was. She then looked back down at her diaper, just the way it looked made her blush in embarrassment. Then she started to grow angry with her mother, if she had just stayed home and allowed Scootaloo to do whatever she wanted, Scootaloo was sure she wouldn't be in this mess, “Stupid Mom,” she thought angrily to herself. “I get that she’s concerned about me, but I can’t believe she’d agree to let anypony do something like this to me. Maybe I have been a little hard on her, but if that was the case she didn’t have to trick me into being diapered by Twilight.”

Eventually, Scootaloo ended up falling asleep. She woke up the next morning to Celestia’s bright sun reflecting off the windows and into her eyes, blinding her a bit. She covered her eyes from the glare and rubbed her eyes.

Scootaloo looked at the crib she was in and pouted, “Oh yeah, I forgot. Egghead trapped me in a crib. Just because she put me in a diaper doesn't mean I need rails to guard me, I’m a grown filly.” she complained, even though she knew nopony could hear her..

Scootaloo tried to get out on her own, but it was a hard challenge for her. Whether it was getting her diaper stuck on parts of the wood, or having a difficult time making it over over the rails. But eventually she managed to get out of the crib, with a little bit of wing effort “Ha, take that you stupid crib!” she said proudly.

Then Scootaloo decided to quickly check her diaper, and pressed a hoof to it, she was dry and so she smiled. “So glad I didn't have an accident.” She thought proudly, as she started to walk out of her room, for the moment it seemed like Twilight or Spike weren’t awake, so this would be the right time to for her to quickly use the bathroom undetected. Unfortunately, while she snuck around in the giant castle she got lost. “Twilight seriously needs to label all these dead ends doors and rooms.” she thought in annoyance. She had expected to reach the restroom by now and felt as if she was ready to release her bladder at any given moment, something she wanted to avoid by any means necessary!

Upon reaching a sparkly door, Scootaloo reached for the knob and turned it. Upon entering said room, her heart sank a bit when she saw it wasn't the room she was looking for. But there was a pony in the room, sleeping. The pony looked to be a unicorn with a light grayish purple coat, and a two tone mane and tail with light grayish streaks throughout. Maybe it was a friend that Twilight had over and not told Scootaloo about?

A blush began to form on Scootaloo’s cheeks, as she shut the door. “If that mare sees me like this I’ll be so embarrassed.” she thought, and finally decided to take off her diaper, despite the growing pressure in her bladder. “It's a good thing Twilight didn't put a magical key or something on the diaper.” the filly thought with relief, and threw the padded undergarment away without fanfare.

Eventually, Scootaloo found the bathroom and bolted for the door, her bladder was practically screaming for release, making the filly regret her rash decision to toss away the only thing preventing an accident from staining the floor. Fortunately, the toilet wasn’t far from the door, and so Scootaloo dashed to the porcelain throne as if her very life depended upon it! Within a few minutes she came out smiling, relieved that she had not suffered an accident. “At least now I know where the bathroom is, for next time.” The filly with a light orange coat told herself.

After a needless amount of time spent wandering the castle, Scootaloo made it downstairs, surprised to see a panicked Twilight, and Spike trying to calm her down.

“I should have kept a better eye on her, it's my fault that she got out,” Twilight said anxiously. “Scootaloo could be in any form of danger and it's my responsibility to watch out for her!” She frantically paced around the room.

Just then, Spike saw Scootaloo in the doorway, “Twilight, calm down! Scootaloo’s right here.” Spike said, pointing a claw at the doorway, Twilight zoomed right past him and pulled Scootaloo into a loving embrace!

“I was very worried about you, Scootaloo! When you slipped out of your crib, I thought you might be in danger! Please don’t go running off like that again, do you understand?” Twilight told Scootaloo, then she noticed Scootaloo’s diaper was gone, “Where did your diaper go?” she asked.

“Oh I took it off to use the bathroom.” Scootaloo said without thinking, she instantly regretted it. Twilight gave her a look that unnerved the filly (even though it wasn’t anywhere near as harsh as the glares Dizzy Twister would give when she got into lecture mode), and one that made her step back a bit.

Twilight levitated a changing mat and a diaper in the room. Once the diaper was snuggly wrapped onto Scootaloo she looked down at her “Scootaloo, I understand why you might not have wanted to use your diaper. But from now, please don’t take it off without asking Spike or myself,” she scolded. “Since this was your first time, I’ll let you off with a warning, but you will be getting a strike for slipping out of your crib and making me worry! Disobey me again, and you will be punished accordingly.”

“Uh, what would the punishment be?” Scootaloo nervously asked.

Twilight sat down, and told Spike to go get Scootaloo’s new chair (to which Spike agreed). “Well it was hard coming up with an idea for you, but I think I’ll take you out in public to show everypony how cute you look in that diaper of yours.” Twilight replied, pinching Scootaloo on the cheeks.

Scootaloo gasped “WHAT! No, no, no! You can’t” Scootaloo begged. “If anypony spots me in a diaper, my reputation will be ruined forever! And if Rainbow Dash spots me, I’ll never live it down! Please, I’ll do anything else, but don’t make me go out in public diapered!”

“Whats going on Twilight, and why is that filly wearing a diaper, isn't she a little old to use that?” an unfamiliar voice called out. It soon revealed itself as belonging to the unicorn Scootaloo had spotted earlier.

“Ah, Starlight you're awake,” Twilight smiled. “Scootaloo, this is my student, Starlight Glimmer. She’s living with me while she learns about the magic of friendship.”

“Uh, hi Miss. Glimmer.” Scootaloo nervously greeted, blushing in embarrassment at the thought of somepony other than Twilight and her mom knowing about her punishment.

“So you’re Scootaloo, eh?” Starlight responded. “I’ve heard about you from Rainbow Dash, and Twilight. But that still doesn’t explain why you’re wearing a diaper.”

Twilight cleared her throat “Well Scootaloo has been causing some trouble for her mother lately, so I’m in charge of watching her till she gets back. As part of our arrangements, I’m diapering her.” She explained, but Starlight seemed to give a look of disgust.

“Twilight, let's talk in the next room, alone if you don’t mind.” Starlight said seriously, and walked out of the kitchen.

“Spike should be back with your new chair any moment now,” Twilight said to Scootaloo. “Just stay there, and call for me if you need anything.” She then trotted into the living room, where a not too pleased Starlight awaited her.

When Twilight arrived, Starlight cleared her throat. “Twilight, please don’t take this the wrong way but what the hay?! That's a filly in a diaper, and I’m pretty sure she’s not incontinent or suffering from bedwetting problems! Why would you even think to punish a foal like that, and what's this punishment I hear?! Please tell me you’re not serious about publicly humiliating her! I know I’m probably not one to talk given all the horrible things I did in the past, but why would you do such a thing to a filly?!” Starlight then took a deep breath to calm down, as she realized how much she was unnerving Twilight

“Starlight I know this is new to you, and I understand you might be angry, as you very well should be under the circumstances,” Twilight replied. “I’m not doing this behind Scootaloo’s mother’s back, her mom’s a very good friend of mine, and I wouldn’t do this if she wasn’t comfortable with it. Listen, Scootaloo has been very disrespectful to her mother lately, and she came to me for help. I don’t know for sure if this will work as I intend, but it’s my hope that Scootaloo will listen to me. Between you and me, I’m not going to take her out in public diapered, and she can still use the bathroom if she has to go number two. But if she fears the consequences of misbehaving, hopefully she won’t notice I’m bluffing.” She said truthfully.

There was a long silence, as Starlight just stood there with a puzzled look on her face. Was Twilight telling her the truth? “Fine,” she said at last in a neutral tone. “But just to make sure you're telling the truth, is it possible for me to watch over her? Maybe if she gets to befriend somepony who’s not going to punish her, she’ll open up about why she’s acting up.”

“You can if you’d like,” Twilight smiled. “I was wondering what I was going to about tomorrow when I go to get some baby supplies, I’m still missing a few things for her.”

“Just promise me you’ll keep your word, and not make her go out in public while diapered,” Starlight vowed. “I’ll baby her a little, but I’m not changing her diapers at all, so with me she can use the bathroom for number two and number one.”

“Very well,” Twilight agreed and went back to the kitchen. Scootaloo was still begging for her to not take her out in public. “Ok, Scootaloo I won't take you out in public, but I want to make a deal with you. Break it, and you may lose your bathroom privileges.”

“What’s the deal?” Scootaloo asked.

“All I ask is that from now on, you need to use your diaper for when you have to pee,” Twilight explained. “If you have to go poo, let me know and I’ll help you take off the diaper. But once you’ve done your business and wiped yourself up, the diaper has to come back on, and you need to keep it on as much as possible until your mother comes back. Is that okay with you?”

Scootaloo sighed, she really didn't want to use her diaper at all. Tt was embarrassing and something grown ponies didn’t do. She especially wasn’t thrilled at the idea of being treated like a potty training toddler, but if it meant she could avoid being taken out in public she was willing to accept the deal. “Ok, I guess that works,” she said with a blush. “I’ll tell you if I have to go potty, just as long as you promise this just stays between me, you, Miss. Starlight, Spike, and my mom.”

“You have my word, Scootaloo,” Twilight said with a motherly smile, then her attention was turned to something else. “Oh, would you look at that? Your new chair is here.”

Spike then came in with a high chair and placed it next to Twilight’s chair at the kitchen table. Scootaloo gulped “Do I really have to sit in that?” she asked though she already knew what the answer might be.

“Yes, if you’re going to wear diapers I might as well treat you like a foal.” Twilight said smiling at Scootaloo. “Don’t worry, you can still eat normal food. But I have to cut it up for you first, now just sit and let’s get breakfast started,” as she helped Scootaloo into the high chair, and tied a bib around the filly’s neck she added. “I hope you like waffles.”

Timeout

Twilight started making breakfast after she finished with Scootaloo, the pancakes were very easy for her to make but a little messy. After she was done she brought about twenty pancakes to the table. She put five on each plate and gave Scootaloo an extra three, then once she had cut the pancakes and added some tasty chocolate chips to the food she cut them up nice and small for the orange filly.

Scootaloo pouted as her food was being cut for her “Hey ,you do know I can cut that myself don't you? I’m not some toddler, I know how to cut my own stuff.” she said in a frustrated tone. It annoyed her enough when her mother did it for her.

“Sorry sweetheart but foals cant use knife,s you might accidentally cut yourself, or worse” Twilight cooed, making it obvious she was getting into the role playing aspects of looking after Scootaloo, knifes and even butter knives were a bit sharp and not exactly something a foal like her should use. After cutting it into tiny pieces she put the fork on the table and watched Scootaloo “Remember if you need help eating I could always feed you myself, don't be scared to ask.” Twilight said sweetly.

“TWILIGHT! I’m not a baby, I can feed myself! I don't need you getting in my face like that!” Scootaloo protested, she was somewhat ok with Twilight cutting the food and with wearing the diapers, but if Twilight did feed her she'd be super embarrassed.

“Hey I think you should leave her alone, Twilight, nothing personal but I don't think you should feed her, she's not a two year old,” Starlight suggested “Besides, I’m sure she's more than capable of eating on her own.” Starlight proceeded to take a bite of her own meal, trying not to look at Scootaloo’s diaper too often. She was certain Scootaloo wanted to maintain what dignity she still had.

“Sorry...I guess I got a little carried away… it's just, sometimes I worry,” Twilight replied. “I promised her mother I’d look after her and- ” Starlight interrupted her before she could finish.

“Yeah, I’m sure she knows how to feed herself, considering she has eaten on her own before you,” Starlight advised her mentor, then recalling memories of a past she still dreaded she added “Word of advice, Twilight don't try controlling Scootaloo. What you're doing is pretty close to what I did to that village.” she said, taking a sip of her tea.

Scootaloo swallowed hard. “You mean you actually babied ponies and put them in diapers?” she asked Starlight. “I thought you just took away their cutie marks and tried to brainwash them into being happy about being plain.”

Starlight looked at Scootaloo, then glared at Twilight. There was only one way Scootaloo knew about ‘Our Town’ as Starlight preferred to call it (its actual name was not something she could recall, she just never bothered to learn or repeat it to anypony).

Twilight looked at Starlight and told her pupil as straight as possible. “She didn’t hear it from me, I never told her or any of her friends about your past. It’s possible one of her friends told her, or it’s word of mouth.”

Starlight tried her hardest not to look ashamed, as she looked at Scootaloo and told the filly. “To answer your question, Scootaloo, no. I never babied anypony or encouraged such a thing in my village. But I did talk down to ponies and belittle them,” she confessed. “Granted, I did it for far worse reasons than why Twilight is currently doing it.”

“I’m sorry if I treated you in such a way,” Twilight apologized to Scootaloo. “You may be wearing diapers and sitting in a high chair, but that doesn’t I have to completely treat you like a baby if you don’t want me to do so. I’m sure your mother would understand if I decided not to go through with this.”

Scootaloo tried her hardest, but she couldn’t help but feel just the tiniest bit guilty. “I’m still mad my mom did this without asking for my opinion, but I guess being treated like this isn’t all bad. I could do without the diapers or the high chair, but the affection is alright,” she told Twilight. “I guess what I’m saying is, since it’s only until my mom comes back, you can do this and I won’t mind too much. Just please promise me you won’t tell anypony about any of this!”

“Your secret is safe with Starlight, Spike, and I.” Twilight nodded at Scootaloo, and decided to eat some of her breakfast, while letting Scootaloo enjoy hers on her own. Nothing more was said on the matter during that time.

When breakfast was done and the dishes put away, Twilight picked Scootaloo up in her magic “Now that we finished breakfast, I was thinking maybe I could read you a story or I could put you in the playpen to play with some toys,” she suggested, then an idea came to her head. “Ooh, or maybe I could give you a ride on my back!”

“Honestly, Twilight I would much rather play in the playpen.” Scootaloo protested. “At least I’ll have some time by myself in that room.” she thought to herself.

Twilight smiled with glee ,and lifted Scootaloo up and took her into the playpen (which was pretty close to the restroom). After putting Scootaloo in the pen next to the window, she brought in a couple of toys, a rattle, a giant teddy bear, and a few other toys. Then she declared “Look, Starlight and I have something important we need to work on for a bit as part of her studies So Spike will be in charge of you while we’re gone. Please be good. And remember, play nice.” Princess and pupil then walked out, and Spike came in with a Power Ponies comic clutched in his claws.

“If you need something, just ask,” Spike replied with a smile. “The same rules Twilight laid down for you apply here, so don’t think you can trick me.”

Scootaloo ignored Spike’s comment, as she decided to play with the teddy a bit. It was actually more boring than she thought, she’d much rather go hang out with her friends or maybe get to know Diamond Tiara a little more, but within time she had somehow fallen asleep while holding onto the bear. About an hour passed and she woke up with the most desperate need to go to the bathroom. She carefully trotted over to the side pen and saw Twilight forgot to lock it, Spike seemed to be distracted by his comic, so she took this as a chance to head to the bathroom “I know I promised I use my diaper but I’d much rather use a toilet,” the fully thought to herself, making up her mind right then and there. “I’m not going to use this diaper like a baby. So who cares if Twilight, Spike, and Miss. Starlight get mad? Twilight didn’t punish me the last time I decided to use the bathroom instead of my diaper, I’m sure she’ll understand a second time”.

The orange coated filly rushed to the bathroom, fearful that if she slowed her pace at all she wouldn’t make it in time! It was a lot easier for her to find it this time around, as she knew where to look. But when she opened the door, Spike was standing there with an angry expression on his face.

“I can’t believe you, Scootaloo, Twilight said specifically for you to use your diaper or ask somepony if you need to go number two,” the dragon scolded, blocking the path forward. “And here you are, disobeying Twilight again?” Spike went on, tapping his feet on the ground as he stared at her. “You and Twilight made a deal!”

“Yeah, well… I thought since Twilight wasn't around, I could use the bathroom without having to honor that deal,” Scootaloo shrugged in reply. “Now get out of my way, squirt! I need to use the toilet before my bladder explodes!” Scootaloo said, eagerly trying to push Spike out of the way! But somehow he was able to stay there without being pushed away.

Spike continued to try to stop her, “No, the potty is for big ponies, and you specifically promised to use your diaper for number one,” he scolded. “Since Twilight’s not around, you have to listen to me. You can use your diaper if you have to pee, I mean that is technically a potty if you think about it,” he considered. “Or you have to go number two as well?”

“No, just number one, but I’m not wetting my diaper for some dumb baby dragon!” Scootaloo declared, finally managing to push Spike out of the way! Part of her felt bad for breaking her promise and being rude to Spike, but the rest of her was just interested in maintaining what dignity she had. Scootaloo trotted over to the toilet, and was about to take her diaper off, but a violet-red aurora covered her body and she was pulled out from the bathroom. That is when, she saw Twilight and Starlight right beside her. Twilight looked rather mad, if the scowl on her face was an indication, while Starlight seemed to unsure how to feel about this situation.

“Scootaloo! I thought I told you to come to me, Starlight or Spike if you need to use the bathroom,” Twilight lectured, as she put Scootaloo down and continued. “Now I know this is new to you, but you promised to use your diaper and a promise is a promise. And after you’ve done that I want you to apologize to Spike,” she added as she put Scootaloo down and sighed. “I really hate fighting with you, Scootaloo. But when we made a deal I expected you to follow it. I don’t want to have to completely revoke your bathroom privileges.”

Scootaloo tried holding it in, but she knew Twilight wouldn't allow her to go pee and she had made a promise to the alicorn. So she pouted and reluctantly let it all out, it felt so warm as it got released. “This is way too embarrassing.” she thought as she finished.

Twilight laid Scootaloo down and put a brand new diaper on her. This one actually had Twilight’s cutie mark on the back of it. “Heh, I was kinda saving these for when Flurry Heart visits, but I guess you could use them instead,” she told Scootaloo, trying to maintain a straight tone. “Besides I think you could use them, they hold more in them.” she added as she finished taping the diaper together.

Continuing to pout Scootaloo didn't say a word. The embarrassment was enough to make her wish she was in Tartarus. At least a normal diaper wouldn’t be so embarrassing, or so thick. “I’m sorry, Spike. I really should’ve just cooperated with you.” she apologized to the dragon.

“No hard feelings,” Spike replied. “But you still disobeyed me and by extension disobeyed Twilight.”

Scootaloo gulped, she was definitely going to be punished for that. Now she wished she hadn’t tried to weasel her way out of her promise, even if it had meant wetting her diaper. “How are you going to punish me?” she asked Twilight. “Please don’t spank me! I know I messed up, but I don’t want a sore rump on top of everything else!”

“It probably would be wise to consider a different punishment, Twilight,” Starlight suggested. “A spanking feels kind of extreme for a situation like this. Scootaloo didn’t do anything really dangerous.”

“Well, if you don’t want to be spanked, I guess there’s only one thing I can do with you diapered butt”, Twilight decided after a moment of thinking ,and levitated a chair into the corner of the room where she and Starlight often retreated to whenever they needed to study. “You can stay in that corner for an hour and think about what you did. And if you’re extra good and don't make a fuss, I’ll make you some cookies when the timeout is over.” Twilight promised.

Scootaloo was relieved to be spared a spanking, even though she’d much rather play with toys or something else. But if she argued with Twilight, she wouldn't be able to get those cookies, and she wanted them badly. So, reluctantly, she walked over to the timeout chair, small crinkles could be heard as she waddled to it. Once she sat down on it she instantly got bored “An hour in this spot, ugh this is so boooring!” she immediately remarked.

“Well you should've thought twice before trying to use the potty without asking,” Twilight replied, and set a timer in the room a good distance away from Scootaloo. “You are not to move from that chair until the timer goes off,” she instructed, “Can I trust you to stay put until then?”

“I guess, at least I’ll get free cookies out of this.” Scootaloo shrugged.

“Good,” Twilight nodded. “Just to be safe, Spike will watch over the timer so you don’t try to mess with it. Starlight and I will be doing some reshelving. Remember to call if you need anything.” And once the arrangements were set, Twilight walked away with Starlight following.

All Scootaloo could do was sit in her chair, and stare absent-mindedly at the walls. Anything was better than looking at her diaper.

Thanks to Starlight’s magical assistance (for which Twilight was extremely grateful) it didn’t take long for the re-shelving to be finished, and within that time frame Scootaloo’s timeout was almost done.

“Thank goodness this time out is almost over, I really need to go to the bathroom!” Scootaloo thought, knowing that she needed to do it for the other thing, and would rather avoid having to use her diaper if at all possible.

The last few seconds ticked by an agonisingly slow for Scootaloo, but at last Twilight’s alarm went off, and that was her cue to let Scootaloo out of time out. “Ok, Scootaloo, your time is up. Do try to tell me if you need to go number two, remember that diaper around your rump is at least for number one.” Twilight declared.

Scootaloo nodded at Twilight. “Yeah, that's the thing I have use the bathroom, I really need to do my… ‘other business’ in there if you catch my drift.” She spoke up, hinting she had to do number two rather urgently.

Twilight suspected Scootaloo had needed to poop for a while, but hadn’t said anything for fear of breaking her time out. So she quickly took Scootaloo to the bathroom and removed her diaper, then granted the filly privacy as she sat on the toilet. Once Scootaloo had finished her business and wiped herself clean, the diaper was put right back on. And it was then that Twilight knew she needed to make something clear. “Scootaloo, if you needed to do number two while you were in time out, you could’ve said something to me, Spike, or Starlight. Your timeouts can be put on pause if you have to do your business, and then they can resume once you’re done. It’s not healthy for you to hold it in all the time, you can do a lot of damage to your body.”

“I’m sorry, Twilight. I would’ve spoken up sooner if I’d know,” Scootaloo replied, then she asked. “But if I had gone number two in my diaper, would you have changed me?”

“Absolutely, though I’m not encouraging you to do so,” Twilight nodded. “Now then, why don’t you help Starlight and I with the cookies?”

The rest of the day carried out without any complications for Scootaloo. While she wasn’t a fan of being forced to use her diapers for pee, everything else she actually didn’t mind at all. She got to play with some foal toys and Twilight, Spike, and Starlight all watched her as she was starting to enjoy it herself, even if it was embarrassing

Several hours passed and eventually it was time for all foals to go to bed, even though Scootaloo protested. The promise of a bedtime story however, quickly changed her mind.

Twilight read Scootaloo a story of Daring Doo for her bedtime story, particularly the one she knew Scootaloo was most fond of: Daring Do and The Ring of Destiny.. Scootaloo smiled at Twilight, and yawned. “Thanks, Twilight. Mom always reads me stories before I go to sleep, maybe I’ll have a better time sleeping tonight.” And then she started to drift off to sleep.

Smiling, Twilight pulled the covers up to Scootaloo’s head, turned off the light, exited the room, and left the door slightly open. “Tomorrow, Scootaloo gets to spend some quality time with Starlight. I hope Starlight can handle Scootaloo.” she thought to herself, worried that Scootaloo might be too much for her young apprentice, especially if the filly knew about Starlight’s past.

Hope you are enjoying the story.

Spending Time With Starlight Part Two

After stacking more books, the pile became unstable and it fell on Scootaloo’s turn (though this time the filly escaped without harm). This made Scootaloo very angry, she always wanted to win and losing didn't make her feel any better about her current predicament. “Ugh I’m so peeved!” She burst out, which made Starlight gasp!

“Such language young filly, where in Equestria did you learn to talk like that?” Starlight asked, before she reluctantly added. “When I was a foal if I ever said something like that I would get punished, with a few spankings on my rump.”

Scootaloo shuddered at the thought of being spanked like a foal, she couldn’t remember the last time her own mother had done it, but she did remember how sore her rump had been afterward.

“I know I can't do that to you as you aren't my foal, but I need to punish you somehow.” Starlight said to Scootaloo, while walking nervously back and forth. It was obvious Starlight was just as uncomfortable with the idea of punishing Scootaloo, as Scootaloo was at being punished by Starlight.

Scootaloo dragged her hooves on the floor. “I’m sorry Starlight, I know I shouldn't of said that but I’m just so upset that I lost,” She protested, trying to look as guilty as possible. “I just want nothing but victory, don't you know what it's like to lose?” Scootaloo asked as she sat down and a little crinkle could be heard from her diaper.

“Hey, I can forgive you for saying that,” Starlight replied “I mean anger is in all of us. I got angry at Twilight for taking back the village that I used to mind control, and that didn’t go so well.”

Scootaloo gave Starlight a concerned look. “The rumors about her are true?! I thought they were just ponies exaggerating!” She thought, and gulped. “Mind Control? She asked, a little afraid Starlight might control her into acting like a foal. “Are you going to brainwash me?” She nervously bluttered out.

“Whoa, whoa! I’m not going to do that to you!” Starlight protested immediately. “Let's just say it was around the time that I was wrapped up in my own feelings of anger and envy. But don't worry, everypony, including the ones in my old village forgave me, and I vowed to never again resort to such measures,” She added. “It's nothing to worry about. And as for your punishment, I’ve got the perfect idea for you Scootaloo, when it's time for lunch I get to feed you just once, don't worry I won't mention any of this to Twilight or Spike.” She said in a cooing tone, and she rubbed Scootaloo on the back once she finished what she had to say.

“Bu...but Spike’s home! What if he-” Scootaloo was interrupted by Starlight’s hoof, which covered her mouth.

“-Don't you worry ,I hear he's reading all the Power Ponies comic books right now, so he should be busy for a long time.” Starlight replied.

Scootaloo didn't like the idea of somepony feeding her when she knew how to do it herself. But then again she had cursed (albeit unintentionally) so maybe this was something she deserved. At least it was better than a spanking or time out (and certainly better than having her mouth washed out with soap, which is what her mother had done the last time she’d uttered a curse word by accident). “Ugh, fine. But I’m not going to like it,” She said, folding her hooves across her chest in a pouting motion. “Just please don't take pictures of me while you feed me. I would hate for somepony like Twilight to see that, or even Spike.” She added, blushing a bit.

Starlight smiled and in a sweet motherly tone she said. “Dont worry baby, nopony will know of this and if I have to I’ll bribe Spike with some gems to stay quiet,” She then placed Scootaloo on her back, “Hold on tight, baby. Let's play a game of ride the pony, it will be super fun!” She cooed, as she rode around the castle with Scootaloo on board. Scootaloo held onto Starlight tightly, afraid she'd fall off. After several minutes of running around Starlight let Scootaloo down, and levitated a few plushies over to her. “Wanna play with these plushies?” She asked. :I know you like sleeping with the Dash plushie the most. Twilight told me, and well, I’ll be honest, I like playing with dolls sometimes myself.” Starlight said with a blush.

Scootaloo reluctantly picked up her Rainbow Dash plushie and made it fly in the air. “That's ok, I won't tell,” She replied to Starlight. “I can’t understand why you would play with toys though, I know grown-ups can be weird but I thought they didn’t do things like play with dolls. I mean you did help take over a village from some evil empire in that town you spoke about or something?” She asked innocently.

Starlight realized she hadn't really told this young filly about what she had done to that village. But should she tell her? What would Scootaloo think if she did? Only Twilight and her friends supposedly knew about her past, everypony else only supposedly knew her as Twilight’s new pupil. But was it possible Twilight or somepony else had blabbed to the town? “I should probably tell the kid if she knows about my village,” Starlight thought to herself, and reluctantly sighed. “Better if she hears the truth from me rather than find out for herself. I just hope she won’t hate me by the time I’ve told her everything.”

“You really wanna know, huh?” Starlight asked her young charge, to which Scootaloo (suspecting nothing) nodded. Gulping and taking a deep breath, Starlight began her tale. “I’m not sure what you’ve heard from other ponies about me, but they probably weren’t kidding when they said I was quite nasty in the past.” She began.

Scootaloo listened throughout Starlight’s entire tale, noticeably shivering and shaking in fright during some of the more “descriptive” parts as Starlight explained how she had stripped ponies of their cutie marks, and even tried to rewrite history as an act of revenge.

“I’m still not sure what part of me thought Twilight was still faking it with those horrible futures after she showed me that waste land,” Starlight finished, a lone tear of regret seemed to be trying to form in her eyes but she refused to let it come out. “I’m just glad she didn’t give up on me and vaporized me like she would’ve been entitled to do. Since then I’ve been busy learning about the magic of friendship, the very thing I rejected and tried to control. How other ponies in town came to learn of some of the details, I don’t know.”

Scootaloo was silent for a moment, still trying to process everything Starlight had told her, and relieved that her diaper was still clean. “I didn’t think it was that bad, I just thought she messed ponies heads a little.” She thought, and ended up backing away from Starlight. Sure, Starlight seemed nice now, but then so had Diamond Tiara that one time during the flag carry competition, before she intentionally let slip that comment about Scootaloo’s wings that is (something Scootaloo still hadn’t fully forgiven the former bully for).

Starlight brought Scootaloo into a hug, hoping she could calm her down a little. “Hey now, it’s okay. I’m not like that anymore,” She vowed. “Twilight trusts me, and Spike and the others do as well. But I’m not expecting you to completely trust me, I’m not proud of what I did in the past.” She insisted, while hoping she hasn't ruined her friendship with Scootaloo (assuming they could still be friends).

“I’m sorry, Starlight,” Scootaloo apologized, feeling a tad bit guilty for making her bring up all of that stuff. “I guess I’m just shocked somepony as cool and pretty as you would commit a crime like that”

“Pretty? I’m not pretty.” Starlight thought, but to Scootaloo she simply responded with. “It’s alright, just don’t tell your friends about what you heard. There’s a reason why I wanted to keep it secret,” She then turned her attention to the clock on the wall. According to the hands, itt was time for some lunch. “Well, I guess it's time for somepony to eat,” She cooed, levitating Scootaloo off the ground, carrying her to the kitchen, and putting her in the high chair. She then went to make some lunch. Luckily she didn't make anything too big, just a hay sandwich and some vegetables on the side. After all, Twilight had made it clear Scootaloo needed her nutrition.

Seeing Scootaloo make an icky face at the veggies, Starlight decided to make a litlte offer to sweeten the deal. “Since Twilight isn't here, I suppose if you behave yourself, I will make you a chocolate milkshake later,” She said with a wink. Scootaloo happily clapped her hooves together and let out a loud squee. Starlight smiled, and patted Scootaloo on the head. “Well, it looks like somepony is happy. But remember you need to behave yourself if you want it, that means if I ask you to take a nap you must do it,” She instructed, as she levitated the food over to the high chair and placed a bib around Scootaloo. “I noticed you were a messy eater earlier, so how about from now on you eat with that?” She asked. “That way you don't get messy”

Scootaloo crossed her forehooves together and pouted. “I’m not a baby I don't need a bib. Bibs are for ponies who make a mess out of themselves. I’m a good eater, I don't make a mess”. She claimed upon looking at the bib in question, it was pink and she despised that color with a passion (though it did look good on Pinkie Pie and her friend Diamond Tiara)!

Starlight couldn't help but giggle at Scootaloo’s reaction. “But honey you made a mess this morning, obviously that's a sign that you need one,” Then she added. “You know what? How about this: If you can finish lunch without spilling anything on your bib then you won't have to wear it, but if you do spill, you will have to wear it for all future meals. That ok with you?

“Yeah, I guess,” Scootaloo shrugged. “Hey, wait! Weren't you going to feed me?” Scootaloo asked, as if suddenly she wanted somepony to feed her. “I mean… it’s not like I wanted you to feed me, it’s just... ya know.. I’m concerned you may have forgotten.” She looked out the window after saying this, hoping Starlight wouldn’t see the smile on her face.

Starlight did indeed see Scootaloo smile, but she couldn't help but wonder, “Why is she smiling? She says she doesn't like all this baby stuff, and yet she was happily playing with her toys the other day, and now she’s smiling at the thought of me feeding her. Why?” Then she told Scootaloo. “I’m not going to feed you if you don’t want me to, but are you hiding something from me? Something you want to talk about?” She innocently asked, while trying not to sound like she was prying..

Scootaloo immediately shook her head “NO! I mean... no thank you. I don't have anything to say I was just... curious... that's all!” She protested, her hooves started shaking ever so slightly, as if she was scared Starlight would figure out what she was hiding. “I can't let her find out what I really want, it's both embarrassing and a strange feeling. She’ll probably laugh and think I’m a freak.” She thought.

Starlight just knew something was up, but she could also sense that Scootaloo wasn’t going to open up. If she couldn't find out now though, maybe she could find after lunch? “Ok Scootaloo, fine,” She replied. “How about, after lunch you tell me everything? Please? It's not healthy hiding anything from anyone. If something’s troubling you, I just want to help. But you don’t have to tell me if you really don’t want to, though I’d really like it if you did.” She added, in hopes her kind words would encourage Scootaloo to confess.

Convinced that Starlight wasn’t going to let up anytime soon and that she was likely to find out anyway, Scootaloo sighed. “Ok, fine. I’ll tell you after I eat. But you gotta promise not to laugh at me… It's a difficult feeling.” She said to Starlight, as she started to slowly chew her food. She wasn't all too happy that she had to tell somepony, but she could think of worse ponies she could be confessing to (such as her honorary big sister, Rainbow Dash. Sure, Rainbow Dash could be very understanding, but this was something Scootaloo wasn’t certain Rainbow Dash would be okay with, for good reasons).

It didn't take long for Scootaloo to finish her meal, even though she tried to eat as slowly as possible in the hopes that maybe Starlight might give up on making her confess.

When lunch was finished, Starlight took Scootaloo into the castle living room. She sat down in one of the chairs and motioned for Scootaloo to sit down in her lap. At first the tomboyish filly didn't move, she didn't know what to do. It seemed awkward to sit on the lap of a pony she barely knew, especially with a diaper on. But after some thinking, Scootaloo finally decided to reluctantly sit in Starlight’s lap, and oddly enough it made Scootaloo smile. She couldn’t really explain why, but it made her feel safe and cared for.

Starlight smiled down at Scootaloo and said. “Ok young filly, I know what it's like to hide secrets, so don't you lie to me. I know you are hiding something, please do Miss. Starlight a favor and tell me, it doesn't hurt to tell the truth.” She lightly stroked Scootaloo’s back in a calm way to try and encourage the filly.

A tear slid down Scootaloo’s eyes, a promise was a promise, and if there was anypony she should tell it might as well be somepony like Starlight who was entrusted with taking care of her. Plus, Starlight had promised not to laugh, and Scootaloo was hopeful the mare would keep that promise. The young speedster started to breath heavily, this was it, the moment of truth! “Ok...I’ll tell you, but please don't make fun of me,” She said softly, as she put her hooves on top of her diaper making it crinkle a little. “You see, I’ve kinda been giving my mother a hard time, because I miss the times when I was a baby.” Scootaloo blushed deeply. She looked at Starlight who wasn't smiling or even laughing, which was a surprise to Scootaloo.

Scootaloo reluctantly continued. “My mom used to pay a lot of attention to me when I was a foal, and ever since I got my cutie mark I’ve kind of realized that my childhood is starting to come to an end. I know I can’t stay young forever, and I didn’t mean to give my mom such a hard time, but it just pains me to think that my childhood’s almost over and I still haven’t flown yet. When Twilight started to treat me like a baby and put these silly diapers on me, I admit I found it odd at first, especially when she revealed she had my mother’s permission, but, then I started getting all this attention, and it made me feel like a foal again. I didn’t like not being allowed to feed myself or losing some of my bathroom privileges, but the rest wasn’t so bad. I’ve even starting to not mind the diapers so much, Mom says I was potty trained a little faster than most foals, so I guess it makes sense,” She added, relieved to let everything out. But she couldn't help but finish by saying “I’m such a worthless pony, aren't I?”

But to Scootaloo’s surprise, she was immediately wrapped around Starlight’s hooves as the unicorn mare told her. “You aren't worthless, you just miss everything your mother used to do for you. I can understand that, but you shouldn't bad mouth her just because you miss that stuff, you should tell her how you really feel. I’m no expert, but if what I’ve heard about your mother is true, I’m sure she'll understand,” Starlight said sweetly, and placed Scootaloo down on her back on the floor, “And nothing’s wrong with liking diapers Scootaloo, I can see you probably won't be interested in being completely babied,” Starlight slowly made her way towards Scootaloo, then she put her hooves on her belly and started a tickle attack! “But… I think somepony is ticklish. You better prepare yourself, because the tickle monster wants to make you laugh!” She exclaimed, and started to tickle Scootaloo all over.

Scootaloo kept rolling around making her diaper crinkle as she did so “Ple.. please, stop, that’s not cool!” She pleaded, hoping Starlight would let her go. But Starlight didn't and continued her assault. Scootaloo however didn’t realize until too late that she was about to release her bladder! All this tickling and attention Starlight was giving her made it hard to focus on holding it in

As soon as Starlight stopped her tickling, a loud hissing noise could be heard from Scootaloo as she helplessly released what she had been holding. She blushed slightly when she was finished. “I’m sorry, I should've told you had to go potty. I had to use it after lunch, but I got caught up in this whole telling you the truth thing and forgot. Guess it’s a good thing I didn’t do number two though.”

Starlight smiled (while mentally thanking Celestia Scootaloo hadn’t done the other thing too). “ It’s alright, but I think we better get somepony into a fresh new diaper before she gets a rash.” She gently cooed, and lifted Scootaloo up.

Starlight levitated Scootaloo onto a changing table and got a few diapers and some powder. But right as she was about to take the old diaper off, there was a knock at the door.

“Great, somepony is here,” She sarcastically thought.“But either I let them continue ringing, or I change Scootaloo out of this soaked diaper. Whoever it is can wait.” She thought, although the more she thought about it, the more she was concerned about who was at the door. What if it was somepony important, like Twilight?

Scootaloo saw Starlight was concerned and told her. “Why don't you go see who’s out there? I’ll just sit here in this diaper till you get back. Pretty sure I won't get a rash if you're only gone for a minute or two.” She insisted.

“You really sure about that? I can ask Spike to get the door,” Starlight replied. “I don’t want you to get a rash and give Twilight reason to think I didn’t take good care of you.”

“It’s alright,” Scootaloo blushed. “Worst case scenario, I can probably change myself. It can’t be that hard.”

“Okay, if I’ve not back in five minutes you can change your diaper,” Starlight insisted. “And if you have to go at all before I get back, you can just use the bathroom by yourself, okay?”

“Okay.” Scootaloo nodded, and watched Starlight leave to answer the door.

Starlight answered the door, and to her surprise it was those former bullies that she’d heard about from Scootaloo. Diamond Tiara and her best friend Silver Spoon. “Hello little fillies, what can I help you with?” Starlight asked.

“Hi Miss um… Starlight, I was wondering if Scootaloo is here?” Diamond Tiara asked. “Applebloom and Sweetie Belle are having a crusader meeting at their clubhouse, but they’re missing one pony and they asked me to see if Scootaloo could attend.” She said with a bright smile.

Starlight gulped, she very well couldn’t tell the two fillies why Scootaloo wouldn’t be able to attend the meeting, but how could she get them to leave without raising suspicion? After a few seconds of pondering, she hastily replied. “I.. uh... no, Scootaloo can't come out. I’m afraid she's gotten a little sick and needs to stay in door till she's better.”

“Gee, that’s too bad,” Diamond replied. “Well, can I at least see her to make sure she’s okay? Maybe she’ll want to let Applebloom and Sweetie Belle know about this.” She and Silver Spoon were going to head inside, but Starlight stopped them.

“I’m sorry, I know you’re worried about her, but she could be contagious,” Starlight told them. “I wouldn't want either of you getting sick as well.”

“Wow, I didn’t think she that sick,” Silver Spoon commented. “She must’ve caught that nasty flu bug that’s going around.”

“I certainly wouldn’t to catch it, and neither would anypony else,” Diamond gulped, remembering how dreadful her last sick day had been (no thanks to her mother). “Guess we’ll have to tell Applebloom and Sweetie Belle the bad news.” The two fillies left without saying another word.

Relieved that she had handled the situation properly, Starlight came back and saw Scootaloo poking her wet diaper. “Ok, Scootaloo your friends are gone, so I can finish changing you.” She told the filly, as she used her magic to take off the wet diaper and put a brand new one on her, once it was snugly wrapped around the filly’s waist, Starlight brought Scootaloo down from the changing table.

“Thanks for changing me, Miss. Starlight,” Scootaloo replied, hugging the unicorn tightly. “I kind of like the smell of a new diaper.”

“It’s probably the powder,” Starlight commented. “That always seems to have a pleasant scent.”

Scootaloo blushed. “I guess,” Then she felt an ominous gurgle in her stomach. “Uh, Miss. Starlight, I have to go potty.” She blushed.

“Alright, you know where the bathroom is?” Starlight asked, to which Scootaloo nodded. “Then go take care of business, I’ll wait right outside if you need any help.”

“Thanks,” Scootaloo blushed again. “I may need a little help wiping up, I sometimes still have trouble with that.” Then she made a mad dash for the toilet, quite relieved when she made it with seconds to spare!

After that, the day went by pretty fast for foal and foalsitter. The two ended up braiding each other's manes, putting flowers into them, and even making little jokes about Twilight. Scootaloo especially found herself actually liking makeovers a little, despite initially thinking she would hate them.

But all things must come to an end. And eventually, night time came. “Alright, Scootaloo,” Starlight declared. “I was hoping Twilight would be back by now, but it looks like she’ll be a bit late. It’s time for you to go to bed.”

“Alright.” Scootaloo yawned, too tired to truly protest her bed time.

Twilight came trotting back into the castle at exactly the moment Scootaloo was being put to bed. In a small bag held by the young alicorn princess, was a baby bottle, a few pacifiers, and a few onesies. “I see you were about to put her to sleep,” Twilight commented to Starlight. “Well, before you do that, here’s a little something for Scootaloo,” Twilight inserted the purple colored pacifier into the filly’s mouth. “I noticed you’ve been having issues sleeping at night,” She commented softly to the filly. “If you suck on that at night I promise it will help you sleep alot better.”

At first, Scootalo tried removing the pacifier, but she did suckle on it for a few moments and found that it was really relaxing for her. “May..Maybe this isn't as bad as I thought it would be.” She said, slowly drifting off into a deep sleep.

Once Scootaloo was soundly asleep, Twilight and Starlight tip hoofed downstairs. Then Twilight asked her young student. “So, how was she? Was she any trouble?”

Starlight shook her head. “Oh no, she was no trouble at all. Though there was one outburst of foul language, and I learned the hard way about the fact that her wings haven’t fully developed yet. However, I did end up learning why she’s been giving her mother such a hard time,” She replied, and explained. “Turns out she misses some of the attention she got as a baby, and she’s upset that, since she’s got her cutie mark, that means her childhood is starting to come to an end. She knows she can’t go back to being a foal though, and I know she doesn’t want to be completely babied, but I think this punishment ended up being more for her benefit than we realized.”

Twilight was silent while Starlight told her all of this, then she smiled. “Well, I’m glad you made some progress with her, and just in time too her mother will be back in three days. So Scootaloo will have a lot of time to be herself, and get all the attention she desires. Tomorrow, we’ll discuss what she told you while I was away with her.” She replied. and with that, she, Starlight, and Spike went off to bed as well.

Author's Note

One more chapter left and Scootaloo will be explaining everything to her mother. :)

The Truth

Two days had passed since Scootaloo revealed to Starlight what she’d been hiding, and since then everypony around her had been treating her like she actually was a foal (to some extent anyway), which Scootaloo thought it was quite nice. It made her smile, to not have to worry about anything. No crusades, no cutie mark problems, no school work, and no chores. Even so, a part of her knew she wouldn’t be able to do this all the time, and another part of her was wondering just how she was going to explain to her mom what she’d told Starlight. The filly had thought she hated being treated like a baby by her mother, yet she was going to ask if that’s what her mother could do.

Starlight hummed a little tune to herself, as she trotted into the castle. She had just come back from a trip to the toy store (she thought it would be nice if she bought Scootaloo a parting gift for when she would leave with her mother, and so she had bought the filly a big teddy bear for her to snuggle with). Starlight placed her gift right next to one of the glass windows in the castle and smiled. “I hope Scootaloo likes my gift. Oh, what am I saying? Of course she will.” She thought and walked into the kitchen. Upon entering it she saw Scootaloo being fed by Twilight.

“Oh, hi Starwight, whewe have you been?” Scootaloo asked with a stuffed mouth.

“Scootaloo, how many times must I tell you? Don't talk with your mouth full, it's very rude.” Twilight lightly scolded while waving her spoon back and forth at Scootaloo.

Scootaloo instantly apologized, “I’m sorry, Twilight. I guess I’m just happy to see my friend, Starlight.” She said with a smile.

“Real..Really, we’re friends?” Starlight asked, while secretly a little happy that Scootaloo could be like a second friend. It was hard for her to get friends as it was, due to her past life. And aside from Sunburst and Trixie, she had struggled with making new ones.

Scootaloo nodded. “Yeah, you’re a lot of fun to hang out with. Especially when you kept my other friends from seeing me in a diaper.”

“Hey, what are friends for?” Starlight chuckled, then let Twilight continue feeding Scootaloo.

Once Twilight had finished feeding Scootaloo she took a sniff and smelt that Scootaloo was really sweaty and stinky. “Oh man, we really need to give you a bath before your mother gets here.” She remarked, waving her hoof around trying her best to get rid of the smell. The alicorn was regretting her decision not to bathe Scootaloo at all since she coming to the castle.

Scootaloo blushed deep red, she had developed a rather noticeable stench. “I’m sorry, Twilight. I guess I should've told you yesterday, but I got all caught up in the fun.” She apologized, and then popped the purple pacifier into her mouth. She couldn't believe it but, sucking on a pacifier actually seemed to be relaxing, even in the daytime. Of course, she swore she would never let Rainbow Dash or her friends know about this (well, aside from Starlight of course), but she couldn't help but wonder, “Should I really tell Mom? I mean I could just sneak the diapers and pacifier at home. But then, she would probably find them when she cleans my room.” She thought.

Starlight noticed that Scootaloo seemed to be distracted by something, and walked over to the filly and gave her a little tap. The filly jumped in surprise, “I’m sorry. I didn't mean to scare you, Scootaloo, but I couldn't help notice you stuck in your thoughts. Is something wrong?” She asked in a concerned tone.

Scootaloo was about to answer but before she could explain Twilight sweetly called. “Scootaloo, your bath is ready. I even took the liberty of adding a few toys and a rubber ducky for you.”

Scootaloo looked at Starlight, then at the bathroom. “Uh, I’ll tell you later, Starlight.” She promised, and with that she ran as fast as she could down the hall. However, she fell because her diaper was a little thick, though she quickly picked herself back up. “That’s going to take some getting used to. I wonder if there are any brands in my size that aren’t as thick, at least for daytime wearing. I know the nighttime ones have to be thick to protect the sheets.” She thought.

Once Scootaloo was in the bathroom, Twilight took off the filly’s diaper. “You don’t have to go potty, do you?” She asked, while gesturing toward the toilet.

Scootaloo shook her head, she’d already used the bathroom before lunch. Scootaloo then looked at Twilight, who held a hoof out, “What?” The young pegasus asked.

“The Pacifier, Scootaloo,” Twilight explained. “You can’t have that in the bath. It might fall down the drain or get lost, I promise I’ll give it back when you bath is finished.” Reluctantly, Scootaloo gave Twilight the pacifier which caused a few tears to escape from the filly’s eyes, she seemed to be getting slightly attached to that pacifier.

Twilight levitated Scootaloo into the nice warm bath water, and poured some water on the filly’s head, “Now just because you’re older doesn't mean I’ll leave you alone in here, you're still my responsibility. Besides, somepony has to bathe you.” She said with a smile, as she grabbed the shampoo and was about to pour it onto Scootaloo’s head, but then she noticed the filly seemed to be distracted by something, “What wrong?” She asked.

Scootaloo looked at Twilight. “Well, I’ve been thinking…. should I really tell Mom about this? You know about liking diapers and being babied sometimes? I mean wha...what if she disowns me? What if she thinks I’m a freak?” She nervously said while beginning to babble.

Twilight stopped Scootaloo with a small wing hug, while trying to not get water on herself. “Listen, Scootaloo, I know this might seem weird but I think Dizzy Twister will accept you for who you are. She's a very nice and understanding mare, and while she may find it a bit off putting I think she won’t be too bothered by the idea. Besides, she's your mother and what's a mother's job? To love their foal no matter what.” She said, as she released Scootaloo from the hug.

“Bu..But Diamond Tiara’s mother is supposed to love her and yet she doesn't!” Scootaloo protested. “What if Mom starts treating me the way Diamond’s mother treats her? And what if she reveals my secret to everypony in Ponyville?! If Diamond Tiara liked diapers, I’m sure her mother would reveal that secret to the world, who's to say my mom won't do the same?!” A few tears started to form in her eyes, telling her mother was going to be difficult.

Twilight tried her best to calm her young charge down. “Look, I know Spoiled Rich would probably do what you just said, but how could you just think your mother would do the same? Your mother has always told me that she loves you, and that you are her little sunshine, and nothing would EVER change her love for you!” Twilight replied, as she rubbed Scootaloo’s back and helped calmed her down.

Scootaloo sighed. “I guess you're right, but I’m just worried she’ll hate me. I know that sounds absurd, but part of me fears it will happen.” She weakly replied as Twilight started to put shampoo on her head. Scootaloo covered her eyes with her hooves as the water started to pour down on her head.

“Don't you worry, you’re too cute for anypony to hate.” Twilight cooed as she finished bathing Scootaloo, pulled her out of the tub and dried her up. She then pulled out a changing mat and put a fresh new diaper on Scootaloo. She took a good whiff of the air, delighting in Scootaloo’s fresh scent. “Ah, much better. You smell like roses.” She remarked, receiving a giggle from Scootaloo.

Twilight and Scootaloo left the bathroom, when they got out the two decided to go into the living room for a little bit. Starlight had placed a few blocks and toys out for Scootaloo, while Twilight put Scootaloo's pacifier back in her mouth. The filly suckled on it as it was placed into her mouth

“So when does my mommy get here?” Scootaloo asked, completely unaware that she’d used the term Mommy instead of Mom. She had not used the term “Mommy” since she was a very young foal.

Twilight looked at the clock. “Actually, she should be arriving at the train station now. I can only imagine that she’ll want to see you as soon as possible. Starlight, you can watch over Scootaloo until I get back, right?” She asked her student.

Starlight nodded. “Sure, in fact this will give me time to give her a present I bought for her.”

“Okay, I’ll be back shortly.” Twilight replied, and left Scootaloo in the care of Spike and Starlight as she headed to the train station.

Twilight arrived at the train station just in time, because Dizzy Twister had just stepped off the train. She gave Dizzy a small hug. “How was your little vacation?” Twilight asked. “I’d imagine it was wonderful.”

Dizzy Twister smiled “It was an okay vacation, all my boss wanted to talk about was questioning if we should move Cloudsdale closer to Ponyville. I questioned him on why he’d want that, but all he said was that it would make delivering clouds to Ponyville faster and easier. Oh, and how was Scootaloo? I hope she didn't misbehave or destroy anything you own.”

Twilight smiled. “Well, at first she didn't seem to like the treatment. She sneaked out of her crib once to use the bathroom and I took care of that problem, but other then that I think this week has been great. Well...aside from maybe her getting into a small fight with Spike, but she was given a timeout and after that she had no problems.” She answered honestly, as she and Dizzy Twister started walking to the castle.

“So, did Scootaloo ever say why she's been ignoring her work around the house, and why she's been fighting with me?” Dizzy asked, hoping Twilight had found out. If Scootaloo was still going to act the way she had done before Dizzy left, she would have no clue as to what to do.

Twilight scratched her head, “Well.... yes, but I think it's best for Scootaloo to tell you. It's rather… interesting... actually.” The princess explained as she and Dizzy arrived at the castle’s front door. When they stepped inside, they saw that Scootaloo was playing tag with Spike and Starlight, “We’re back!” Twilight exclaimed.

Scootaloo’s eyes grew big as she saw her mother, she quickly covered her diaper with her hooves and blushed in embarrassment. “Uh… hi Mom.” She said nervously, realizing that she hadn't thought this through, “I really should've removed the diaper before she got here… wait, no! I need to tell her, Twilight is right!” She thought to herself, and reluctantly began to pluck up courage. One way or another, her relationship with her mother would never be the same after this.

Dizzy Twister walked over to her daughter, not even bothered at seeing her in a diaper (even though it had been years since she’d last seen her daughter in one). “Scootaloo, you do know hiding it with your hooves isn't really hiding it, don't you?” She asked sweetly, and waited for her daughter to remove her hooves from the crinkly undergarment. “Twilight tells me you've got a lot to tell me, now why don't you be a good girl and tell me what's been bothering you?” She asked in a motherly tone, calm and gentle

Scootaloo thought briefly about lying, but what good would that do?Twilight would probably tell her mom even if she didn't. “If I tell you, do you promise you won’t laugh or hate me?” She asked nervously.

Dizzy Twister nuzzled her daughter. “Scootaloo, I could never hate you no matter what. Whatever it is, you can tell me and I promise I’ll try my hardest not to laugh.”

Scootaloo sighed, and reluctantly she confessed. “Well, the thing is.... I kind of like being treated like a foal, just a little. I actually didn’t want to tell you this because I knew you’d start diapering me, but I’ve been wetting the bed at night sometimes. And, well, I kind of like wearing diapers and suckling on a pacifier, and just being treated like a baby. I don’t really like using them though. I wet myself once when Starlight tickled me, and I only messed them once by accident and it was very uncomfortable. I just sort of like how the diapers feel when they’re clean.” After telling her mother everything, Scootaloo could feel the tears escape her eyes, but she didn’t care, if she had to she’d claim they were just liquid ride.

As Scootaloo let out her tears, her mother pulled her in for a warm loving hug and wiped the tears off her eyes. “I see, so you really need diapers for wetting the bed, but you also like being treated like a baby sometimes?” Dizzy asked, not one hundred percent understanding.

“Yes, I miss the attention I used to get and it just feels like my fillyhood might be ending soon,” Scootaloo replied. “I know I can’t go back to being a foal, but I’d...I’d love for you to treat me like a baby sometimes...Mom, and I’m really sorry about the things I said to you I feel so selfish and ungrateful, you were only trying to look out for me” She apologized sincerely.

Dizzy Twister smiled brightly “Aw, it's ok my little Wonderbolt. I’m glad you told me this, it was very brave of you to do so. I guess I won't mind treating you like a foal every once in awhile, but you are going to need diapers for bed as I don't want you waking up in a soaked bed, you could get a rash or an infection. So here's the deal, you need to wear diapers at night, and if you continue to do all the work at home while I’m at work, I will treat you like a potty trained foal. But only if you want me to, you little cutie. After all, Mommy loves her foal!” Dizzy cooed, as she rubbed Scootaloo’s back.

“That’s fine,” Scootaloo agreed. “But if possible, for the daytime diapers, could you find ones that aren’t so thick? The ones Twilight put on me kind of made it hard to walk. I know the night time ones have to be thick so they don’t stain the sheets.”

“That can be arranged,” Dizzy Twister replied, booping her daughter on the nose. “But for now, I think we’d better get you home.”

“Yeah, just give me a minute to take off the diaper,” Scootaloo offered. “I don’t want anypony to see me in one in public, I’ll be the laughing stock of the town if they do.”

“Don’t forget about your present, Scootaloo,” Starlight offered, levitating over the wrapped up giant stuffed teddy. “It’s a bit big, but it’s perfect for snuggling up with at night and it’s easy to wash.”

“Thanks Starlight,” Scootaloo replied, but found that the teddy bear was too heavy. “Um, could you maybe bring it by my house later? It’s too big for me to carry.”

“Sure thing,” Starlight agreed. “Think of it as my way of making up for causing you to have that accident a few days ago.”

Once Scootaloo and Dizzy arrived home, Dizzy instructed. “Why don’t you go up to your room? I have something I need to get ready, but I promise I’ll be up to tuck you in, okay?”

“Okay,” Scootaloo agreed. “And just let me know when Starlight gets here with my teddy.” She then bolted upstairs to her room as fast as she could! Upon entering her bedroom. Scootaloo realized she’d left it in a total mess, and so she started cleaning.

When Dizzy Twister finally came up to Scootaloo's room hours later, she was happy to see that the room was clean. She put then put a package of nighttime diapers on the floor, “Okay Scoots, sit down and I'll put the diaper on you,” She instructed, and her daughter did as she was told. Once the diaper was on tightly, Dizzyy put the pacifier in Scootaloo's mouth and helped her into bed, “I must admit you do look absolutely adorable in diapers.” She cooed giving her a kiss on the cheeks.

After giving her mother a hug Scootaloo requested “You can read me a Daring Do book, please? I really like it when you read to me.”

Dizzy Twister smiled. “Of course I can,” And she pulled out a copy ofDaring Do and the Trek to the Terrifying Tower. After about three pages, Scootaloo finally fell asleep while suckling on her pacifier. Dizzy smiled down at Scootaloo. “I promise from now on I'll give you more love than ever, baby.” She whispered, and with that she left the room.

Author's Note

This is the last chapter but don't worry I am planning a sequel but I'll get to that later, I kinda want to do a none fetish related fic next.

Spending Time With Starlight Part one

Sleeping wasn't as hard as the night before for Scootaloo, this time it was a lot easier. Even though she was new to having a diaper on her rump, she was able to look past that and sleep with ease.

But as she slept, for some reason she couldn't help but think of all the horrible things she had said to her mother, “Buck you, I do what I want!” “You're not the boss of me!”, and the worst one of all came to mind “I hate you!”. All these thoughts came to her as she slept, and she burst awake after all those thoughts were done! She looked down at her diaper to check if she wet herself, and luckily there was only a drop. So she didn't worry too much and went back to sleep. “It’s hardly even noticeable, I don’t need to tell Twilight.” She thought to herself, as she shut her eyes once again.

When morning arrived Scootaloo was still sleeping soundly.

Twilight was downstairs baking breakfast, and while she did that she told Starlight “Why don’t you go check on Scootaloo and make sure she’s awake, since you’re going to be taking care of her today.

“Fine, but do remember I’m not changing any diapers.” Starlight said in reply, as she walked up the stairs, and into the guest bedroom were Scootaloo was staying. Soft snoring could be heard from the young foal as Starlight approached the bedroom, and Starlight couldn't help but find the sight of this adorable. After watching Scootaloo sleep like a baby for a little bit, she opened the blinds let the bright sunlight into the room. Starlight walked over towards the crib, pushed the bars down and softly rubbed Scootaloo’s tummy. “Hey kid, it's time to wake up. Twilight’s waiting for us downstairs with some nice tasty breakfast.” She said in a sweet tone and trying to put on the best smile she could offer.

Scootaloo pushed Starlight’s hoof away in the hopes of getting more sleep, but with the sunlight, and the fact Starlight wasn't going to leave the room until she was out of the crib, it was obvious she wasn’t going to get that. Stretching her hooves and her wings up, she slowly started to wake herself. Once fully awake, Scootaloo decided to look at her diaper and unfortunately she discovered that she had wet her diaper in her sleep. “This is embarrassing.” She thought, and blushed. Starlight was standing right by the crib, and luckily hadn't noticed the smell yet, but it was more embarrassing to have been wet since this was to be expected with the treatment Twilight was using on her. But she had thought for sure she’d be able to make it through the night without any accidents.

A sudden smell of urine hit Starlight’s nostrils, and she looked at Scootaloo while thinking “Do I let Twilight change her, or do I have to? I told Twilight I wouldn't change her because I don't do older ponies, the only ponies whose diapers I’ve ever changed, were that of Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake.”

Embarrassingly Scootaloo spoke. “Um, Miss Starlight? Cou...would you change my diaper, please? I’d hate to end up with a rash because of this.” Scootaloo knew a rash would hurt a lot. She'd heard from Pinkie Pie that, when Pound Cake got one, he wouldn't stop crying for a whole week. But they were able to cure him a bit faster with some magic cream that Twilight had on her for some reason. Maybe Starlight would have that too?

“Uh, well I…. sure, I guess, though I don't normally change older ponies I guess I can do it for you this once,” Starlight replied, as she helped Scootaloo out of the crib and laid her down on the ground. She removed the wet diaper and placed powder on the filly’s rump, then put the new diaper on, taping it up nice and secure. “There you go little filly, a nice new diaper., Then after washing her hooves with hoof sanitizer, she helped Scootaloo up and allowed the orange coated filly to follow her downstairs to the kitchen. But as they walked down, Starlight felt that she had to ask her soon to be young charge something. “So, Scootaloo… I can’t help but notice you've been wetting your diaper a lot lately,” She reluctantly said. “Do you do this a lot at home? I mean it's normal for young fillies to have these issues, I had the same problem when I was growing up.” Starlight went on, hoping she'd get some sort of answer.

Scootaloo blushed deep red. “Well, I may wet the bed a bit, but I’ve never really told Mom about it because I was afraid she would put me in diapers and baby me. Kind of like how I’m being treated like right now,” She answered, she wasn't as mad at Twilight as she was a few days ago, but she still wasn’t keen on the idea of being treated like a foal. “I’ve covered up the truth at home as best I could. I wash the sheets whenever it happens, and try to clean myself up as best I can so Mom doesn’t find. I just know she’d diaper me and treat me like a foal if she got half the chance.”

Starlight couldn't help but laugh a bit. “Ah come on, I don't think you’re mother would treat you like a baby just because you’ve got bed wetting issues. Like I said, it’s pretty common in ponies your age. But maybe we should tell Twilight, you know she would like to know about this since she’s good friends with your mother.” She suggested.

“I don't know… I rather not get her involved with my wetting problems,” Scootaloo replied “I mean, what if she suggests that my mother starts treating me like a baby? What if Twilight sees this as a good reason to keep me in diapers?” She asked a bit scared of what Twilight might do if she did find out.

Starlight couldn’t help but feel like Scootaloo was lying about the whole baby thing. Why she could remember yesterday, that she saw Scootaloo happily playing with her toys in the playpen. It was almost as if this had something to do with growing up, or maybe it's something different. Either way Starlight swore she would find out tonight, assuming Scootaloo would let her.

As the two made their way downstairs, Twilight had already gotten their food ready. Once again, it was pancakes.

Starlight used her magic and helped Scootaloo into her highchair. She made sure Scootaloo wasn't going to be able to fall, by making sure that everything was secured tightly around her.

Twilight smiled. “Aw, you two must be, becoming the best of friends now.” She commented, hoping Starlight could make another friend aside from her, the rest of the element bearers, Sunburst, and Trixie.

“Whoa, whoa, we're not friends, Twilight!” Scootaloo protested. “She's just some caretaker, here to help me if I need it” Scootaloo replied, although she didn't mind Starlight's company, there was still some trusting she had to do. She wasn't exactly sure if Starlight was even a good pony, supposedly there were rumors flying around about what she’d tried to do. And if what had transpired at breakfast yesterday was any indication, the rumors weren’t entirely untrue. “By the way, what kinda foalish things are you going to get for me, Twilight?” Scootaloo asked curiously.

Twilight was thrilled but also surprised that Scootaloo had asked. “Oh, you know the usual foal things,” She replied, trying to keep a straight face. “A few foalish toys, a pacifier for you to suckle on, and some new diapers in case we don't have enough.” She wanted Scootaloo to have as much fun with this foal week,and perhaps a pacifier would help make her more relaxed.

“I guess that’s alright,” Scootaloo shrugged. “Don’t know if I’ll suck on a pacifier, but some toys and extra diapers probably aren’t a bad idea.

Meanwhile, Twilight walked over to Starlight and softly whispered. “So did you find out anything about her while you two were coming down here? I’m really curious if there’s anything you might of learned, that could explain why she’s been acting the way she has. If you haven’t found out anything, that’s fine. Don’t try to force her to open up if she’s not ready.”

Starlight glanced at Scootaloo and then back to Twilight, then nervously she replied. “Well, uh… no I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her,” It was obvious Scootaloo didn't want anypony knowing about her accidents. So Starlight was going to obey Scootaloo’s wish and not tell anypony, even if that meant she had to lie to Twilight. Who knows? Maybe this would get Scootaloo to accept her as a true friend, if she felt that Starlight wouldn’t spill her secrets to anypony who wanted to know..

Scootaloo watched, amazed that Starlight didn't tell her mentor the secret. She was actually happy to know her secret would remain just that, “Perhaps she is trustworthy” She thought as she began to dig into her pancakes, a bit of syrup started to fall over her body. Normally, she wouldn't eat like a pig, but she couldn't help herself. She’d learned from Rainbow Dash that you should always eat your food as fast as you can, as eating too slow waste’s the day.

“Really? Twilight asked Starlight, then added. “It’s just, you two took a lot longer to come down. I thought maybe that meant she told you something.” Then she shrugged and went back to eating. That’s when she noticed Scootaloo was eating rather fast.

“SCOOTALOO! Hold your horses, this isn't a contest! No need to eat like that, you might choke or worse! Am I going to have to start feeding you like a baby?” She asked with concern, observing the orange filly she could see that she had gotten quite messy. She could've sworn Dizzy Twister taught Scootaloo to eat more slow.

“Sorry, Twilight. I guess I wanted to just get eating over with so I could… spend some time with Starlight.” Scootaloo replied with a blush, she didn't want to admit it but Starlight seemed like a good pony, maybe.

“It’s alright, just don’t eat like that again,” Twilight warned. “Or I’ll start feeding you like an actual foal. You wouldn’t want that, would you?”

Scootaloo shook her head, and ate more slowly.

After breakfast had wrapped up, Twilight gave Starlight a list of things she should do for Scootaloo, that included diaper changing if the situation called for it. “I understand you don't want to change her, but accidents can happen at any time,” She told Starlight, then to Scootaloo she said. “I’ll be back by tonight, I promise. Be good for Starlight, okay?” She went to give Scootaloo a kiss on the cheeks before she left ,but Scootaloo stopped her.

“Twilight, you can't do that to me,” Scootaloo protested, a tad harshly as it caused Twilight to recoil in surprise. “Sorry,” Scootaloo apologized. “It’s just, that's only a mom thing.It's kinda weird having a pony I’m not related to just come out of nowhere and kiss me on my cheeks.”

“That’s alright, I suppose I got carried away,” Twilight apologized. “Just listen to Starlight and stay out of trouble. And Starlight, if you need any help, just ask Spike.” Twilight then turned and trotted out the castle’s front door.

As soon as Twilight had left, Scootaloo started to take her diaper off but was stopped by a hoof from Starlight.

“I get it, you would really like to have that off but sorry, you still need to have that on,” Starlight replied. “But if you do need to use the bathroom for number one or number two, I’ll be happy to take you there and you can take the diaper off then. But please keep it on for the rest of the time. I really don't want Twilight getting mad about letting you run around without protection,” And she used her magic to put the diaper back on. Then she suggested. “Hey, wanna play ‘Stack the books’? She said with a bright smile. “It's a fun game! Sunburst and I used to play it when we're young foals. Trust me, it will be fun.” Starlight cooed as she removed a few books from the nearby shelves and set them on the floor.

“This seems like something a baby would do.” Scootaloo pouted. She had never personally played that when she was a foal, but she did remember playing with blocks so there was is that. But maybe it would be nice to play just once with Starlight? She was being pretty nice to her this weekend, so it couldn’t be all that bad, could it?

“Oh, trust me, it will be really fun” Starlight said with a big bright smile, she brought Scootaloo near the books and told her to sit down while she stacked about three together to get it started. Then she began explaining the rules “We just stack it up as high as we possibly can until it falls. That's all, really. If it falls on your turn I win, and if it falls on my turn you win, that's pretty simple, think you can handle that? Or is it too much for a young foal like you?”

“WHAT?! No! I can handle this, what makes you think I can't handle this?!” Scootaloo protested, puffing up her chest. “I’ll show you how amazingly awesome I am by winning!” She cheerfully said, and grabbed a book and put it on top of the one Starlight had placed. Several minutes passed, and it soon became a little too high for Scootaloo to reach. She tried flapping her wings to get up there but it was no good, she crashed face first into the floor!

“Oh my gosh, are you ok?!” Starlight asked with concern, immediately rushing over to Scootaloo. It was really strange seeing a pegasus like Scootaloo not be able to fly, she thought about it for a moment, then an awful thought struck her “I think something is wrong with your wings! Come on, I think we should go see a doctor!”

Scootaloo stopped Starlight with her hoof, she was annoyed that she had to talk about this with another pony. The fact she couldn't fly was embarrassing enough, “There's nothing wrong with my wings, I’m just a late bloomer! Everypony says my wings will eventually grow, but I sometimes wonder... if they’re just lying so they don't crush my dream or something.” She said as her ears drooped and she got a little sad.

Starlight quickly realized that may not of been the right thing to say “Darn it, Twilight! Why couldn't you of told me about this… it could've been avoided” She thought to herself, as she rubbed Scootaloo on the back as a way to hopefully make her feel better. When the words finally came out, she said sweetly “Hey now, I know what it's like feeling that way, I couldn't use my magic as good as most ponies until I became fifteen. I got bullied for it but I always tried every day to get better.”“I think you need to try you’re hardest, Scootaloo, and one day even you will go flying in the skies like a lot of pegasi, I believe in you.” She smiled.

This gave Scootaloo confidence, maybe ponies did believe in her. Then she was surprised when Starlight used her magic to help Scootaloo fly. “I could just help you stack that book until you learn to fly on your own.”Starlight said, this made Scootaloo smile brightly, only once had somepony offered to help her fly, and that pony was Twilight. Now Starlight was going to do the same.

Author's Note

I don't want this story to last forever, like most stories they eventually have to end, so two chapters will remain, plus I got other things I'd like to work on.
