Applejack frustratedly placed her books in her locker at school, and began to make her way back home. Why did she have to confess to Rainbow Dash on a Tuesday, she’d have to get through the whole week before either of them could do anything about it, and it would be hanging over them the whole week. This made for one of the longest weeks Applejack had ever experienced. Thankfully though it was coming to a close. It was Thursday, and that meant they were only one day away from spending time together. And Applejack could guess at what Rainbow Dash would want to do. Rainbow Dash was as excited about as Applejack was for sure.

“AJ!” Applejack heard Rainbow Dash call out.

“I was just thinking about you,” Applejack said as Rainbow Dash caught up to her.

“I know me too,” Rainbow Dash admitted. They both made their way out of the school so no one would hear their discussion. “I was thinking we could go over to my place and go over rules tonight, so we can get straight to it tomorrow.”

“You are eager,” Applejack said with a giggle.

“Please, we both are,” Rainbow Dash corrected. “You never giggle, and you’ve been giggling all week whenever I talk to you.”

“I have not been giggling,” Applejack said defensively.

“Don’t be so sensitive about it. You’re just a little girl, and little girls are known to giggle.” This statement from Rainbow Dash made Applejack giggle again. “See right there giggling,” Rainbow Dash said victoriously.

“No fair,” Applejack pouted in defeat.

“Seriously though, you ok with that.” Applejack was silent. She wasn’t particularly eager to have this talk, because of how embarrassing it would be for her. Rainbow Dash insisted though. “AJ?” Rainbow Dash asked concerned by her friend’s silence.

“Yeah yeah fine,” Applejack said quickly.

“You sure?”

“No,” Applejack admitted. “It’s just embarrassing to talk about. I mean we’re talking about,” Applejack struggled to find the word.

“Punishments,” Rainbow Dash finished.

“Yeah,” Applejack said defeated. “It’s easier for you to talk about it because you’re not the one that’s going to get it.” Applejack added frustrated.

“You’re right, it is going to be easier for me,” Rainbow Dash said sympathetically. “And if it I helps I think you’re really brave for talking about it.” Rainbow Dash added encouragingly. “I know it’s going to be tough for you, but I’m going to be right there with you.” Applejack couldn’t hide her smile.

“You’re really good at this,” Applejack said quietly. Rainbow Dash grinned.

“It’s what I’m here for remember.” Rainbow Dash said like it was no big deal.

The two finally made it to Rainbow Dash’s house. Applejack was visibly nervous, and Rainbow Dash was attempting to be calm for her, but she too was a little nervous. Applejack sat on the couch and began twiddling her thumbs.

“I’ll get some sweet tea for my sweetie,” Rainbow Dash sang happily. The joke didn’t seem to have an effect on Applejack’s nerves. “Would it calm you down if it was in a bottle?” Rainbow Dash offered. Applejack nodded yes nervously. Rainbow Dash quickly returned with a pink bottle full of the cold beverage. Applejack took it and quickly began suckling it quickly. “Slow down,” Rainbow Dash cautioned. Applejack nodded and began drinking slower.

“Ok I’m as ready as I’m going to be,” Applejack said nervously.

“Try not to worry about it,” Rainbow Dash said calmly. “I’m just going to give you some rules and you tell me if you’re ok with them, and if you’re not we can talk about them, easy pesy.” Rainbow Dash said with a smile, hoping the positive attitude would rub off on Applejack. “Ok in general I want you to listen to what I say. I think we’ve been over that before.”

Rainbow Dash went over a few more general rules for how she expected Applejack to act. A lot of them seemed self-explanatory to Applejack, but she got the feeling that when she was acting little she would be less compliant, and Rainbow Dash seemed to be aware of that. She would preface certain rules as being important and should be followed with no exceptions. Like not going alone while in head space, or speaking up when she felt uncomfortable. Others weren’t as strict and it seemed like Rainbow Dash almost knew that Applejack would break them at some point, and was only offering them to discourage Applejack from doing the behavior frequently, not so much stopping her all together.

“Ok that wasn’t so bad was it?” Applejack nodded feeling more comfortable. As the rules went on Applejack opened up more, and discussed a few of them with Rainbow Dash, and even got Rainbow Dash to relent on some, and clamp down harder on others. “Ok so let’s move on to what punishments you’re ok with,” Applejack tried to say calmly, but upon uttering the word Applejack flinched. “We’re going to have to have something,” Applejack said plainly. “When you’re acting little you’re going to break the some rules. It doesn’t make you bad, it’s bound to happen. That doesn’t mean you’re going to get off scot free though.” Applejack just whimpered. “Here’s an easy one. Corner time. You just spend some time quietly in the corner, and think about what you’ve done. Are you ok with that?”

“No,” Applejack said quietly.

“Really?” Rainbow Dash questioned. “Look none of them are going to be fun, and you’re going to have to let me do something. You shouldn’t think of it like it’s something you’re going to enjoy. I’m asking if there’s any reason I shouldn’t do it to you or anything I need to know about,” Rainbow Dash tried to explain. Applejack gulped.

“I guess its fine then,” Applejack said quietly.

“I might also use some restraints on you. Like those mittens Rarity made for you.” Applejack was quiet and looked uncomfortable. “It’s just to help me keep control of you. With an actual kid I could just put stuff out of their reach, but you’re taller than I am and just as strong. So I can’t really stop you from doing anything without some help. And there’s going to be times where I need to keep you from doing something for your own good.”

“Yeah I guess that makes sense.”

“It’s just to keep from doing things you shouldn’t that’s all.”

“Ok, I guess I’m fine with it,” Applejack said.

“Ok that’s good, as long as we talk about it,” Rainbow Dash said hoping to soften Applejack up for what would surely be a big sticking point. “What about spanking.” Applejack audibly gasped.

“No that’s just,” Applejack replied flustered.

“Applejack, I know how it sounds, but I want you to try and not have a gut reaction to it. Think about it seriously ok.”

“I can’t,” Applejack said flustered. “It’s just.”

“It’s not going to be something regular,” Rainbow Dash said. “It’s only when you keep breaking rules, or break a really important rule.” Rainbow Dash clarified. “This one is up to you. I won’t be mad if you say no, and if you say yes just know that I’ll stop if you tell me to, and I’m not doing it to try and seriously hurt you.”

“Really,” Applejack said. “I thought that was the whole point.”

“It is,” Rainbow Dash said. “And it will hurt, but you’re always in control. We can always stop when you feel uncomfortable.” That made Applejack more comfortable with everything.

“What’s stopping me from just wimping out and telling you to stop before you even do it?”

“Nothing,” Rainbow Dash admitted. “But I would hope that you would know that I’m only doing it because I care about you, and that you would only stop if it was really bothering you.”

“Ok we can try it out I guess,” Applejack said nervously.

“I’m very proud of you,” Rainbow Dash said seriously. “I want you to know that even after a punishment, I’ll still be here to take care of you, and it won’t change how I feel about you.”

“Ok,” Applejack said quietly. Applejack was glad that she had gotten that over with, and in retrospect she knew it was a conversation they needed to have. She was surprised by a hug from Rainbow Dash. “Hey!” Applejack said out of shock.

“You were very brave,” Rainbow Dash said.

“So you keep telling me,” Applejack replied. Happier now that it was over.

“I think you deserve a little break,” Rainbow Dash said coyly. She grabbed a pacifier and put it in Applejack’s mouth.

“You sure,” Applejack said behind the pacifier.

“We’ve got a few hours before you need to go home, and I’m sure you’re probably a little fussy since you haven’t had a diaper for a while.” Applejack nodded, not even caring about the childish word Rainbow Dash used to describe her. Applejack happily followed Rainbow Dash back into her room.

Applejack let out a long sigh as Rainbow Dash diapered her, one that did not go unnoticed by Rainbow Dash.

“Wow you really have been craving a diaper huh?” Rainbow Dash said helping Applejack up.

“You have no idea,” Applejack said relieved.

“Well I’ll let you take that pack home with you,” Rainbow Dash said happily. “I’m about to order some more, and I wanted you to help me pick them out. I found one with a cute little pattern I think you’ll like.”

“Ooh,” Applejack cooed excitedly as she followed Rainbow Dash back into her living room.

The two spent the next few minutes looking over and cooing at certain baby themed items for Applejack. Though this wasn’t quite the little experience Applejack was waiting for. It was a quick release of tension the she didn’t know she needed, and she felt noticeably happier when she left Rainbow Dash’s the back half of the package of diapers in hand, and looking forward to the items she and Rainbow Dash had decided to order.

Here's another chapter for you guys. Sorry that not much happens here, but even if my set ups are a little out there, I try to be as realistic as I can, and it would seem weird if they went into this again, without talking about it first. Plus it also gives you guys a Checkov's gun kind of thing. Since I'm bringing it up now, you know it's going to happen later eventually. As always hope you guys enjoy.
