A Bet too Far
Chapter 20
Previous ChapterNext ChapterApplejack was woken from her sleep by the sounds of faint scuffling and complaints. She slowly woke to an odd sight.
Sunset Shimmer, Rarity and Pinkie Pie were all being dressed by Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Fluttershy respectively. It’s what they were getting dressed into that was odd. Each of the three of was sporting one of Applejack's diapers and mittens, and nothing else. Rarity seemed particularly distraught as she discovered she couldn’t remove her diaper with the mittens, this was the source of the disturbance that woke Applejack. Rainbow Dash was quickly trying to force a pacifier into Rarity’s mouth to quiet her whining.
“Aww you woke her up,” Twilight said disappointed. Applejack groggily grunted, still not quite awake enough to fully process what she was seeing. Rarity remained distraught, the pacifier not helping much. Sunset Shimmer was fighting embarrassment, but Pinkie seemed unphased, almost happy.
“Morning sunshine,” Rainbow Dash said approaching Applejack.
“What’s going on?” Applejack asked sleepily peering out of her crib.
“Well Twilight, Fluttershy and I had a little idea about something extra these three could do to apologize, and with a little persuasion they agreed to it,” Rainbow Dash said with a smirk. Sunset blushed and turned her head, while rarity was slowly accepting her fate, as she sobbed suckling on the pacifier.
“These are poofy!” Pinkie Pie declared. “I can see why Aj like them so much.”
“And we’re discovering things about Pinkie Pie already,” Twilight said with a giggle.
“Today these three are going to be the babies,” Rainbow Dash said happily. Applejack giggled with glee as Rainbow Dash helped her out of the crib. Rainbow Dash didn’t move to take Applejack’s diaper off and Applejack didn’t particularly want her too.
“Just for the record I’m only doing this to make you feel better,” Sunset said angrily.
“Aww come on Sunset, you gotta learn to have fun with it,” Pinkie Pie said hopping around.
“Not helping Pinkie,” Sunset replied.
“Do we have to use them?” Rarity asked sobbing.
“Of course,” Fluttershy said matter of factly. “How else are you going to know how Applejack feels?” Rarity whined.
“Aww but it’s so icky,” Rarity continued to complain.
“It’s not so bad,” Applejack said a little offended.
Applejack dressed herself in a more mature outfit, though still not very mature. A simple t-shirt featuring a children’s cartoon character, that left her diaper exposed for easy checks. She was still better off than the babies for the day who were only wearing small crop tops.
“Ok all the baby’s into the play pen,” Rainbow Dash announced. There were groans from the three in question as they were being sheparded into the play pen.
The play pen was intentionally small for the three of them, they were snuggled against each other and laying on top of one another.
“Aww they look so cute playing together,” Fluttershy said, as the others gathered in front of the play pen. Sunset continued to pout, being by herself as much as she could, but she couldn’t help but rub up against the other two. Rarity was still sulking, but she was slowly being cheered up by Pinkie Pie who was offering her some of the toys scattered around the play pen. Rarity was wordlessly snuggling some of them, while Pinkie Pie played more enthusiastically. Sunset remained in her own pouty world.
“No one’s used their diapees yet?” Applejack commented. “You know if you hold it in it’s more likely to leak,” Applejack added knowingly. Sunset huffed at the comment, but Rarity seemed to take it to heart and consider her options. Worry was written on her face as she debated whether the risk of leaking was worth the grossness of using the diaper now.
“What are you talking about?” Pinkie Pie said obliviously. “I don’t have to go.”
“She’s not talking about you,” Sunset said gruffly. Rarity was nervously scrunching her face before she finally broke, and started quietly sobbing again.
“Aww Rarity beat me to it,” Pinkie Pie said still oblivious to the obvious distress on Rarity’s face.
“Pinkie Pie don’t make fun,” Rainbow Dash scolded. Twilight helped Rarity out of the play pen.
“Let’s get you changed,” Twilight said sweetly as she helped Rarity to a changing mat on the floor.
“Thanks,” Rarity said with a sniffle. “It’s just so icky,” Rarity complained as she laid down to be changed.
“Oh it’s not that bad,” Applejack said quietly. Rarity got up with a sniffle after Twilight changed her. Instead of being put back into the play pen Twilight and Fluttershy were trying to get her playing with some toys, with some success. Rarity began to play around with a few of the toys and calm down. Rainbow Dash helped Pinkie Pie out so she could join Rarity. Sunset almost protested to being the only one left but did not seem to want to admit that she was jealous at Pinkie and Rarity’s playing.
Rainbow Dash smirked as she could tell her plan to get Sunset to open up a little was beginning to work as she could see Sunset looking out of the play pen longingly at Pinkie and Rarity who were no longer holding back and playing fully giggling and laughing as they moved the toys around. Applejack eventually broke down and joined them as well happily playing around with her friends in a way she never had before. With some looking after by Twilight, Fluttershy, and Rainbow Dash as they all played together.
Slowly the isolation of sulking in the play pen alone had gotten to Sunset Shimmer. Now she couldn’t hid her desire to join in the fun, and looked out from the play pen longingly whining as Rarity let out a loud laugh at one of Pinkie Pies antics.
“You done being a grouchy pants,” Rainbow Dash said snidely. Sunset yelped a little as she hadn’t noticed Rainbow Dash approach, given how focused she was on everyone else playing. Still her pride prevented her from responding directly, and she just nervously wiggled at the question. Rainbow Dash knew that was likely as much as she was going to get out of her so she took it as a yes “If you promise to be a good girl I’ll let you out to play.”
“Ok,” Sunset said meekly, her desire to have fun with the others finally overcoming her pride and shyness.
“Ok what?” Rainbow Dash said pressing as much as she could,
“I’ll be a good girl,” Sunset said quickly.
“Good now you can come out and play,” Rainbow Dash said as she happily helped Sunset out.
Sunset quickly made her way over to the others, with Rainbow Dash behind her. Though she was initially shy, Pinkie Pie was quick to envelope her in the fun, and soon she was laughing and playing along as much as Rarity, and Applejack were.
“Ok I made all of the little babies some little sandwiches, Fluttershy said happily as she emerged from the kitchen. Everyone cheered at this announcement. Rainbow Dash, Twilight, and Fluttershy helped Pinkie Pie, Sunset, and Rarity eat their sandwiches, as they all still had their hands in mittens. They each snuck bites of their own sandwiches while they fed the others.
“So what do you think?” Rainbow Dash asked as she fed a sandwich bite to Sunset. “Not so bad right?” Applejack listened as she ate her sandwich.
“No it’s great,” Pinkie said cheering as Fluttershy struggled to help her eat. “It’s been forever since I’ve had this much fun, or felt so silly.”
“Calm down Pinkie you need to eat you food,” Fluttershy scolded. Pinkie Pie obeyed and took a bite.
“Well it is a little gross,” Rarity said gesturing to the diaper. “But I must admit that it is rather more enjoyable than I thought it would be,” Rarity said as she obediently takes a bit of the sandwich offered by Twilight.
“Sunset?” Rainbow Dash prodded the girl sitting in her lap.
“It’s a little fun I guess,” Sunset replied quickly.
“Only a little?” Rainbow Dash asked teasing. Sunset noticeably blushed, and this garnered giggles from everyone else.
After this everyone finished their sandwiches. Applejack was given a sippy cup of juice, while Sunset, Pinkie, and Rarity were all bottle fed milk. Pinkie Pie happily and eagerly drank from her bottle provided by Fluttershy. Sunset, while not having any difficulty drinking, tried her best to hide how much she may or may not be enjoying it. Rarity was attempting to enjoy her bottle but was having trouble drinking from it.
After the meal, Rarity and Sunset were put down for a nap, as they had been worn out by the constant activity involved in playing. The two slept together in the play pen, while Pinkie Pie continued with her limitless energy, and Applejack had played enough to know how to pace herself. Eventually even Applejack wore herself out, and napped just outside of the play pen where Sunset and rarity were, with Pinkie Pie joining her more out of politeness than any lack of energy. This left the three “older” friends alone.
“Well that certainly is an experience,” Twilight said quietly, eager to let the others sleep.
“mhmm,” Fluttershy agreed. “Definitely different from taking care of animals, but I can’t say it isn’t fun.”
“It’s a bit too tiring for me,” Twilight commented. “I don’t think I’d do it again, but for the moment I am having fun.”
“Well glad you guys are liking it a little at least,” Rainbow Dash said happily. “Thanks for helping, I think Applejack’s really having fun.”
“It’s no problem,” Fluttershy said quietly.
“Yeah, that’s the whole point of this sleepover, to help her have fun with all of us,” Twilight said officially.
“Still it means a lot to her and to me,” Rainbow Dash said seriously.
“Awww,” Twilight and Fluttershy said in unison as they embraced Rainbow Dash in a hug. The hug was also joined by Applejack.
“What are we hugging for?” Applejack asked tiredly. They were quickly joined by the sleeping girls into one giant hug. They all then fell into a laughing pile.
