Hay Belly Syndrome!

*Timidthy's POV*

I still remember that day…..and now that I
look back on it…..I can’t help but wonder how me and my brother caught it in the first place. I remember feeling unforgiving pain in my stomach, bowels, and groin. And I know it was the same exact amount of pain my brother felt. If I could change anything about that day I would’ve told somepony sooner. And I can imagine my brother feels the same way.

The doctor says that me and my brother’s bladders and now highly sensitive. We can now only hold half the amount of liquids then before. And our bowels are very inconsistent one moment we are constipated and another we have uncontrollably on-going diarrhea. And the same thing goes for our bladders, it’s only been three days since the massive surgery to save the princes’! And those are the news articles words not mine.

Anyway the doctor said it would be very beneficial for emotional reasons to write in this journal. And I one hundred percent agree, so I guess it would be good to explain what happened.

Well here goes everything.

I remember it had just started only four days ago……

I had woken up for breakfast and went to do my usual schedule. When I had went into the kitchen I had saw my brother looking as famished as me. But nothing to fill the temporary black hole that was in his stomach. We both raised an eyebrow,

“Well just great! I can’t focus on bringing ponies misery and executing them while I tell them how worthless they are if I’m starving!” Blood Bones said. I had rolled my eyes, I had been meaning to try and make the prisoners feel more peppy. Even if my brother had said that it was “unprofessional” and that the prisoners “deserved to feel pain”.

“Brother let’s just make breakfast ourselves I’m sure mom and auntie are just busy.” I had said, my brother had grumbled in annoyance. For some odd reason he just hated cooking but I knew that since both him and I we’re starving he’d just do it so he wouldn’t be hungry. During breakfast I remember I needed to go to the bathroom. But my stomach easily pushed it aside though thinking I’d be able to use the restroom afterwards. Boy was I wrong.

After breakfast I had cleaned the plates while my brother had ran off to auntie Luna's room. Once I was done I hurriedly made my way to my mother’s room. At the time I felt my abdomen and my bowels scream out in pain. At the time I thought nothing of it, since I hadn’t used the little colts room I’d make since that they’d start hurting by then. Once I shook off the pain I realized I was at my mothers room door.

And I saw guards right by the door standing at attention. I gulped feeling slightly intimidated, I then stood up tall on my hooves and tried to press my hooves against my mothers room door. But the guards spread their wings out and I’ll admit I…..leaked…..a little at that moment. I cleared my throat and tried to get myself steady again, now I bet your wondering why I’m acting so….cowardly. Well I may be getting a bit more confidence but I’m still a bit jumpy and easily startled.

Anyway so I got myself steady,

“Sorry Prince Timidthy. But Princess Celestia is sick, and she doesn’t want you to catch a cold.” One of the guards said. I nodded as blush had encased my cheeks, as I was praying the guards’ hadn’t noticed my slight accident.

“O—Of course……but if mother is sick…..then who’s fulfilling her royal duties? I’d expect it to be Auntie Luna.” Timidthy asked,

“No, Princess Luna is sick as well.” The other guard replied. It was then I felt a surge of fear, panic, and concern.

“Are you telling me both princesses are sick!? Well when will they be better?” I had said feeling my horn spark, as my instincts we’re telling me to teleport into my mother’s room.

“Unfortulently yes. Prince Blue Blood already is handling all the meetings that his aunts can’t attend. But that still leaves the ribbon cuttings, ceremony attending’s, and of course raising and lowering the sun for Celestia. And for Luna it leaves her dream walking duties, and raising and lowering the moon, along with making the stars.” One of the guards said, and before my mind could even catch up with my mouth I spoke.

“Well alright then! I will do my mother’s royal duties for her!” I said, allowing confidence to slip into my voice. Both of the guards looked stunned at my sudden confidence. I realized how I must’ve looked and quickly calmed myself.

“Do you have a list of her duties?” I had asked,

“Yes. But are you sure you can handle it?” One of the guards said.

“Of course I can.” I said, and the two guards looked at each other for a moment before nodding. They then handed me a very, very, very long list of responsibilities my mother had. My eye’s went wide as I used my magic to hold the list,

“Sweet Celestia.” I muttered. I then snapped out of my trance and smiled sheepishly.

“Thank you. I’ll fills these out to the best of my abilities.” I said, as rolled up the list and galloped to get one of my personal royal guards.

But as soon as I turned the corner I bumped straight into the leg of Prince Blue Blood.

“Timidthy don’t tell me your going to take up the rest of your mother’s duties.” Blue Blood said, I blushed and nodded.

“I’m gonna help out my mother in any way I can.” I said,

“That’s very noble of you Timidthy. But your just a colt, you should be hanging out with your friends.” Blue Blood said.

“Nonsense. I need to help my mother.” I said, “But have you seen my brother? And my personal royal guards?”

“Yes I’ve seen them. They are right by the castle entrance. But please don’t overwork yourself.” Blue Blood said. And I nodded before galloping towards the entrance, once I got there and skidded to a stop. Watch Dog immediately got by my side,

“Blood Bones told us that you and him and taking over you mother’s and aunts duties.” Shimmer Sword said. As his horn was lit looking over a list in his magical grasp, I gained a smirked and looked at my brother.

“You big softie.” I said,

“Oh shut up.” Blood Bones replied jokingly with blush on his face. Both Watch Dog and Shimmer Sword chuckled,

“Alright then do you need the rest room before I leave?” Watch Dog asked. Blood Bones bust out laughing, while I blushed redder then his fur.

“Waaaatch Doooog! I’m not a foal! And no I don’t have to go.” I lied, and at this moment I wish I hadn’t lied. But I was much too embarrassed to admit that especially how my brother had reacted.

“You are sure one to be laughing Blood Bones. You have to study the dream-walking and creating stars spells. So your gonna need no sort of interruptions, and that includes bathroom visits. So do you need to go to the restroom?” Shimmer Sword said, and my brother’s laughter died in his throat. I snickered trying my best no to laugh, as my brother had a mortified look on his face.

“N—No I don’t need to go! Let’s just go to the Canterlot Archives already!” Blood Bones said quickly, before trotted off. With Shimmer Swords following after,

“Alright enough with the giggling.” Watch Dog said.

“Ri—Right. Let’s go.” I had said, trying not to focus on his much my bladder and bowels begged for release.
