Rarity, Sunset Shimmer, and Pinkie Pie were all three sitting on Rainbow Dash’s couch embarrassed. Applejack was pacing angrily, still in her dress from earlier and a diaper, and Rainbow Dash was sitting in her recliner in a similar mood.

“I just can’t believe you guys would do this,” Applejack fumed. “You couldn’t have just left us alone to have fun.”

“If I could spank you guys,” Rainbow Dash mumbled louder than she intended.

“Dash.” Applejack said with a face that said ‘are you serious.’

“Sorry,” Dash apologized. The others had indeed heard her though, and were vicariously embarrassed, but at least they now knew the reason for the crying they heard.

“So you’re fine?” Sunset asked relieved. “She was just …”

“She was spanking me yes,” Applejack said plainly and angrily, being surprisingly threatening considering the cute dress she was wearing didn’t hide her diaper. “And yes I am fine. Anyone else know about it?”

“Well Twilight knew we were coming here.”

“Great!” Rainbow Dash huffed. “Anyone else coming over to my house to spy on me?”

“We’re really sorry about this,” Rarity said quickly. “We shouldn’t have been nosy. Twilight was right, it was something you didn’t want us to see and we should have respected that.”

“Well thanks for apologizing,” Applejack said with a sigh. “I guess that solves the problem of having to hide it from everyone. “Might as well tell Twilight and Fluttershy while we’re at it, they’ll find out eventually.”

“I’ll call Twilight,” Pinkie Pie said, eager for a reason to leave the room. Rarity and Sunset followed meekly behind her.

“And you can tell Fluttershy,” Applejack added. Rainbow Dash grew nervous.

“Uh well,” Rainbow Dash said faltering. “Thing is, and don’t be mad at me, I might have already told Fluttershy.” Applejack frowned. “I knew you would be mad.”

“Yeah I’m mad,” Applejack began. “I thought this was supposed to stay between us, and now everyone of our friends knows.”

“I know, I know, and I’m sorry. I only told her because I was worried.”

“Worried?”

“Worried that I wouldn’t be able to take care of you. It’s me we’re talking about here I couldn’t take care of a patch of grass let alone you. Fluttershy is good at that kind of thing. I just wanted to make sure I didn’t mess something up, and make you leave.”

“Dash,” Applejack said exasperated.

“You’re mad at me,” Rainbow Dash said moping.

“I’m not mad,” Applejack clarified. “You only did it because you cared about me, like you’ve done all weekend. Just tell me next time.”

“That’s good,” Rainbow Dash said quietly. “I was worried you wouldn’t want to do this anymore.”

“Quit being silly,” Applejack said sternly hitting Rainbow Dash on the head. “I don’t want to stop, I just don’t want to do it right now. When we get all of this settled maybe.” Rainbow Dash patted Applejack on the head. Applejack could help but squirm happily at the head pats. Sunset unknowingly walked in while Applejack was getting her head patted.

“Sorry,” she apologized again for walking in on the two of them.

“You’re fine,” Applejack said calmer than she was before thanks to her care takers comforting head pats.

“You might want to get used to it,” Rainbow Dash said cheekily. “We don’t have a reason to hide it anymore.”

“Oh did I miss them being cute,” Pinkie Pie called from the other room.

“Yes,” Rainbow Dash yelled back.

“Awww.” Applejack was noticeably embarrassed by this exchange, but in a way that she liked. Rarity and Pinkie Pie also made their way into the room.

“Sorry again,” Rarity said.

“It's fine,” Rainbow Dash said. “I guess it was all for the best anyway,” Rainbow Dash looked to Applejack for approval and she gave a quiet nod.

“Well if it helps, I do think Applejack looks cute,” Rarity added.

“Stooop,” Applejack whined. Everyone couldn’t help but smile as Applejack squirmed embarrassed again.

Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Sunset all finally left. Rainbow Dash and Applejack were finally alone again, though it was apparent the Applejack was still a little shaken up, and not wanting to be little at the moment.

“We should finish that homework we have,” Applejack offered.

“Still not feeling up for it?” Rainbow Dash asked knowing the answer. Applejack nodded no.

“We need to do our homework anyway,” Applejack said grabbing her backpack from nearby. Rainbow Dash groaned. “Now come on. Between the two of us you should be reminding me to do my homework not the other way around.”

“Do you need a diaper change sweetie,” Rainbow Dash asked sweetly.

“No, “Applejack said sternly. “And stop trying to change the subject.”

“Ugh fine,” rainbow Dash complained. Applejack laughed.

“I’ll help you, it’s not that bad.” Applejack and Rainbow Dash cleared some room on Rainbow Dash’s table, for them to put their various school supplies. Despite Rainbow Dash’s frustrations they managed to finish most of the homework. Over that time Applejack had slowly drifted back into her head space. As they were packing some of their things up Applejack felt a familiar pain in her abdomen. Rainbow Dash wasn’t looking, but if she was she’d know what the problem was. Applejack was a little unsure, she had wet her diaper plenty of the weekend, but she had yet to do that in them. She glanced again at Rainbow Dash. She remembered that at the end of the day she didn’t really have a choice in this. It was a bit of a step for them, but it would happen eventually.

Rainbow Dash turned around just in time to see Applejack make a telltale face and scrunch her face up.

“Applejack!” Rainbow Dash said happily. She hugged Applejack as she finished messing her diaper. Applejack moaned at the slightly unpleasant feeling.

“Need change,” Applejack whined, the mess in her diaper drastically changing her mood.

“Sure thing,” Rainbow Dash said leading Applejack to the guest bedroom and the changing table there. Applejack winced as she sat down in the mess.

“I know,” Rainbow Dash said sympathetically. “But you were a very good girl for messing your diaper like that.” Applejack grew a little happier at the praise, but was still embarrassed as Rainbow Dash changed her. Rainbow Dash picked up on this, and chose not to comment on the mess. After some cleaning by Rainbow Dash Applejack was now in a clean diaper. There was a few quiet sniffles from Applejack, but Rainbow Dash reassured her. “It’s ok. Once we get you in a comfy onesie, I’ll get you a treat for being a good girl and messing your diaper.”

The promise of treats calmed Applejack down a lot, as did the onesie Rainbow Dash had for her. It was a red onesie, with pictures of several baby animals on it. Applejack pointed to several of the baby animals and smiled. Rainbow Dash smiled with her as she led Applejack back to the living room. Applejack was so enamored with the animals the she didn’t notice Rainbow Dash leave and return with a bowl of chocolate ice cream.

“Ice cream!” Applejack shouted.

“Yes ice cream,” Rainbow Dash said setting the bowl down for Applejack, and setting her own bowl down next to Applejack’s “Don’t eat it too fast, you’ll get a brain freeze.” Applejack gave an affirmative grunt, and ate the ice cream deliberately slowly. Rainbow Dash laughed and soon became distracted looking outside. The sun was setting and it was almost dark and Rainbow Dash became oddly transfixed with the shapes of the shadows the setting sun made.

“Mommy,” Applejack said wincing, while grabbing her head.

“I told you,” Rainbow Dash said bringing attention back to Applejack. She moved applejack into her lap as Applejack got over the brain freeze. She fed the last few bites of the ice cream to Applejack herself to prevent a second brain freeze. After all of the treat was gone Applejack snuggled into Rainbow Dash. “Where’d the day go huh?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“I know where it went,” Applejack said angrily.

“I know you’re still mad,” Rainbow Dash said brushing Applejack’s hair. “It’ll be ok.”

“I didn’t want anyone else to know,” Applejack said pouting, her head space causing her to be honest with her emotions. “I wanted it to be just us.”

“I know you did,” Rainbow Dash said gently. “And it’s ok that you’re mad.” Applejack pouted even harder. “It’s ok, because I’m here.” Applejack nestled in Rainbow Dash further.

“Ok,” she said quietly. “Ok mommy,” Applejack sighed.

Author's Note

Got another chapter for you guys. This one is mostly just aftermath of the last chapter, we get to see how Applejack begrudgingly accepts that everyone else knows about it know. I'll cover that more in the next chapter. The next chapter will also probably be the last in this ark, and considering the chapter count I already have, I think I'm going to do one more ark and call this story done. As always hope you guys enjoy.
