The Royal Padded Guard

Leaky Guard was waddling about the castle he was now wearing in purple armor indicating his role as captain of the guard. The stallion’s ears drooped as he could hear the embarrassing crinkles with every step. The stallion looked around at the pull-up around his rump it had the standard blue shield printed on the seat of the padding. Since the hypnosis made many of the guards still have accidents and were being re-potty trained. Princess Celestia has been taken precautions with making sure that the toilet training was running smoothly for every guard.

”Morning Captain!”

The stallion looked up with a surprised expression to see two guards giving him a salute. Leaky blushed to see the two of the guards, despite the fact they were back in their standard steel armor with spears, the two thick diapers poofing around their thighs indicating the two were still too incontinent for pull-ups. Leaky returned the salute and asked, ”good morning to you as well, is everything going well this morning?”

The two guards gave quick nods as one explained, “we did our routine permitter check everything seems to be in good order captain.”

Leaky gave a sheepish smile and waved a hoof. “Stop that! I’m not used to being called the captain.”

Both guards quickly laughed, and one asked “dear celestia, come on? You’ve been telling us that since your promotion.”

Leaky rolled his eyes as he wiggled around the two facing their big blue shields printed on their rumps and gave each diaper a poke hearing a slight a slight squelch as he explained. “Whatever it still feels weird being called that, just go along and make sure those diapers are changed for inspection.”

The two guards groaned a little not wanting to be reminded of the diapers they had to wear and quickly waddled off without a word. Leaky blushed a short hearing the crackling noise echo throughout the hall and gave a deep, exasperated sigh realizing things will take some time before they can all put this insanity behind them. Then out of nowhere Leaky felt a pang and started to do a small potty dance and quickly ran to a bathroom but squealed feeling the warm sensation as pee flooded his pull-up and shouted a curse and smashed a hoof on the ground, “Buck! Not again!”

Feather duster came up from behind and poked her hoof in the pull-up making Leaky’s face turn a deep shade of red as the mare smirked and cooed, “Oh poor captain, had another accident didn’t you?”

Leaky turned around and shouted, “so what!? This was my first accident this week come on don’t tell me I have to start over!”

Feather duster shrugged and explained, “first off this is your third accident this week, second Celestia laid down the rules if you have too many accidents it’s back to diapers for a week.”

The maid lead by the hoof with Leaky's ears slunk to the side of his head and squeaked as they passed the two padded guards from earlier who stifled giggles. Leaky looked down at the carpet under his hooves and groaned, “even as captain I’m a laughing stock.”

Feather Duster stopped in her tracks and turned her attention to the two guards with a glare. She stomped over to the two and slammed a hoof into the back of the diaper. “Hmm. looks like you two need a diaper change.”

She quickly placed both guards on their backs exposing the soaked fronts of their diapers making both guards shouted and kicked in protest. But Feather Duster had none of it and slapped their bottoms. “You better stop, as head of the maids I have the authority to change diapers whenever I like. If you fail to comply, I’ll take it up with Princess Celestia.”

Both guards stopped immediately knowing full well despite the fact Celestia was no longer under hypnosis she still had a knack of babying the guards. There were even rumors Bucket Bridle secretly still acts like a foal around her. Leaky continued to watch with a smug grin as Feather Duster un-taped the diapers and changed the two stallions on the spot. They both were unhappy and cursed under their breaths but endured the humiliation. But as Father Duster finishing powdering their rumps, she went into her diaper bag and cooed, “oh dear all I have on me are these.” She took out two giant padded squares with smiling suns printed on the seats of the padding. Both guards whined as one shouted, “come on seriously!”

Feather Duster looked down. “Maybe this will teach you not to laugh at your captain.” The mare then strapped the guards up in the embarrassing padding and slapped their rumps one more time. Now report in the throne room immediately Celestia has an important announcement.”

The two guards ran off in their diapers with the mass of the padding making the two have an adorable waddle. Leaky couldn’t help but laugh a little as Feather Duster then turned her scowl towards him. "As for you, you need to be the one to punish insubordination like that. You can’t rely on me doing everything.”

Leaky shouted back in anger, “hey! I didn’t ask you to do anything, besides embarrassing them like that isn't exactly what I call a fair punishment.”

Feather duster sighed, “it’s not my fault, those really were the only diapers I had on me. I need to restock, you stallions go through them like crazy.” She led him to one of the bathrooms and laid him down on a changing station as she took out a diaper. He gasped and protested, “no! Wait! Come on I don’t need one of those!”

Feather Duster looked down with an apologetic look. “Come on, you know I have to do this. I really don’t have a choice.”

He growled and kicked about in frustration and relented, ”Ugh fine make it fast!”

The mare continued the change preceding with haste, Leaky was strapped in a new thick diaper and as he got up and wiggled around in his new diaper getting used to its thick padding. Feather Duster couldn’t help but smirk as she watched him waddle around adorably. Despite watching hundreds of guards do the same Leaky always had this look of a foal learning to walk for the first time. The mare couldn’t help but comment, ”Now I see why you're still the face for guardian angels.”

He rubbed a hoof down his face and groaned, “ugh, even after I was replaced by Hypno they still use my face on their diaper brand.”

She took out a small brand of diaper for foals with his mark and his face on the blue plastic. “It’s not that bad, your famous. Heck, even princess Cadence buys them for Flurry Heart and brags about it.”

He shrugged and looked down at himself printed on a brand of diapers and grumble, ”yeah still…I don’t think this was worth it…you were right I wasn’t cut out to be a royal guard. We should’ve just left.”

Feather duster rolled her eyes, “oh stop, look I wrong for trying to stop you. If it weren’t for you, every guard would be babbling foals by now.”

Leaky raised an eyebrow and asked, “so you're okay with me being in diapers and learning to go potty like a five-year-old?”

Feather Duster came up closer and cooed, “You did what no other pony would do and did it knowing you wouldn't get anything out of it. It thats not what heroes do then nopony is.”

He blushed a little and scrunched his diaper with his back legs and chirp. ”yeah…I guess you're right…”

Feather Duster gave a smirk and rubbed the back of his padding feeling the soft, thick fabric beneath her hoof and whispered, ”you were right about one other thing...I think I prefer you like this.”

She scrunched the diaper with a hoof and Leaky’s ears flattened as his face turned to a deep shade of red.

The princess of Equestria were both in Celestia’s room with two stallions. Celestia held a padded Bucket Bridle in her hooves, and Luna held a diapered bat guard in her’s. Bucket Bridle had little suns printed all over his padding, and it was also incredibly thick with the padding that spread over his entire rump. It was the same with the bat guard had a thick diaper with little crescent moons printed over it. Both had giant foal bottles in their mouths with Celestia and Luna chatting. Celestia looked down and sighed, “I’m not sure about this...I...don’t think anypony is going to agree after everything that’s happened.”

Luna chuckled and cooed, “you’ll be surprised five of my guards agreed, and they are all diapered and ready to go.”

Celestia gave a nod and a slight blush and whispered, “yeah maybe I mean you have to admit not having any responsibilities sounds like a lot of fun, and we can enjoy ourselves at the same time. It’s a win-win situation.”

Luna gave a light laugh and giggled, “aww isn’t so? I mean yeah I get it and all.”

She then took her guard and patted his back until he kicked about a little. Luna pulled the seam of his diaper back and cupped the padding with her hoof. Celestia nodded in approval, “good see your learning just pop a pacifier in his mouth now.”

Luna gently plopped a dark blue pacifier in the guard's mouth as he began to suckle and drift off again. Celestia did the same to Bucket Bridle as she sighed, “well if that the case I hope I can at least get four more as well. I think five would be perfect.”

Luna nuzzled her sister's mane and cooed, “of course they will understand now go out there.”

Celestia sighed, “alright.” She got up and placed Bucket Bridle in an oversized crib and plopped a baby blue pacifier in his mouth, “alright then here goes nothing.” She then strode out of the room as Luna tucked her padded guard next to Bucket Bridle.

Leaky was now present ahead of his formation with every royal guard present weather in pull-ups or diapers and a few with nothing completing their toilet training. Celestia eventually strode towards her throne and sat down to look down upon her guards and proclaimed, “good morning, thank you all for arriving on short notice. I have a couple of announcements before we begin the day. I first want to start with the report on toilet training.”

Many groans were heard as Celestia continued unfurling a scroll and read aloud. “The toilet training is going very well, of today three hundred guards are in employment, fifty-seven have no need of pull-ups or diapers, one hundred and twenty-five have remained in pull-ups with no accidents within two weeks.”

Many stallions beamed with pride while others blushed and bowed their heads. Celestia continued with the report, “fifty-three have started toilet training in pull-ups or have gone one week without a accident. Sadly sixty-five have to remain in diapers for the time being, but progress is being made to undo the damage Hypno did to all of us.”

Many of the guards remained stern and stood perfectly at attention. Celestia finished the report rolling up the scroll and making it disappear with her magic. “I also want to squash some rumors floating around about me and my mental state...I took a psychological evaluation and learned I have a need to baby my guards d...due to the fact I can’t have foals of my own. Sadly, enough there are no orphans in Equestria I had no real chance of ever having foals. So yes, Bucket Bridle volunteered to be babied by me as apart of a special padded brigade…All I’m asking is for four others who would wish to join?”

Everypony remained silent, and many guards looked down. Cannon Feather rose a hoof and waddled up in a thick diaper. “Hey, I would love to remain as your personal bodyguard.”

Celestia smiled, “thank you.”

Bright Wing who was no longer wearing any padding came up and proclaimed, “yeah I wouldn’t mind doing that diapers don’t bother me.”

Many ponies were stunned even Leaky Guard who sighed scratching the marble floor with a hoof. One of the ponies Feather Duster diapered earlier raised a hoof. “I don’t mind being babied princess.”

Leaky groaned and waddled up with his head held high. “I’ll be honored to be your baby still Princess Celestia.”

She looked down astonished and confused. “But Leaky? Why? After everything I did to you?”

He sighed, “look, this is apart of my life now, and I’m not sure if I’ll ever be able to live a normal life because of what Hypno did. So I’m just going to make the best of it.”

Celestia smiled and hugged Leaky giving him a kiss on the cheek. “Thank you...by the way I thought you were almost done with toilet training?”

He sighed and rubbed a hoof down his mane. “Well...I had a few accidents.”

Hypno Mathematica was in the middle of Canterlot’s square with a crowd of ponies gawking at his embarrassing alicorn padded costume. The stallion was holding two screaming foals while wearing the ridiculous padded alicorn suit. He watched as camera ponies lined up shots with the flashes of the cameras making the foals scream louder irritating Hypno but he had to hold up a cheesy smile. Mrs. Paddington seeing that things were getting a bit out of hoof sighed, “alright that's enough for today.” The mothers quickly took their foals away laughing as Mrs. Paddington strolled up and shouted, “i’m sorry, that’s it for today be sure to come by tomorrow for our Guardian Angel to come by tomorrow!”

Many ponies groaned and some toddlers shouted in protests but eventually the crowd dispersed and Mrs Paddington waved a hoof to the camera ponies. ”that’s a wrap let pack it up! We need to get ready for the tour.”

Many ponies went about packing the camera equipment as Mrs. Paddington came over to Hypno and clapped her hooves. “Goodness! Ponies are loving you Hypno. Polls are coming saying ponies love the new Guardian Angel mascot and we have five gigs to an Equestria wide tour!”

Hypno whined, “what come on! Can’t I just go back to accounting!?"

Mrs. Paddington scoffed at notion and snapped back, ”as if, your to popular as the New Guardian Angel. Now go on and get some rest, on the way back if any foal asks for an autograph or a picture you say yes. You're in character until you get home understand?”

He groaned as he struggled to get up with the enormous weight of his diaper shifting about and grumbled. “I hear you loud and clear.”

Mrs. Paddington fixed her glasses and cooed, “good, now I need to go see Leaky Guard I heard a rumor he’s going to be Celestia’s foal again. I hope he could advertise my new brands.”

She walked off just as Hypno in his embarrassing costume went on his hooves and grumbled, “the things I want to do to that mare…”

He turned around and gaped as he saw Leaky walking along with Cannon Feather in their armor and large diapers shaking back and forth. Hypno paused scared and unsure of what to say or do.

Leaky turned, and soon the two were staring at each other face to face. They both gave each other with uncertain looks as Cannon Feather surprisingly waddled up and growled under his breath ”Hypno you crazy idiot!”

The guard reared a hoof back and punched Hypno square in the nose with a hoof sending the stallion onto his rump making the suit crinkle and bulge around him. Cannon Feather continued to shout, “all I asked of you was to wait. I got you a job as the accountant for the royal guard! All you had to do was wait!”

Hypno looked down with a saddened look and whispered, “I...i’m sorry….”

Cannon Feather stepped back and whispered, "I'm sure now that job is off the table now. But maybe in the future when you got some sense knock into you Celestia will give you a second chance."

Leaky was surprised seeing Cannon Feather angry for the first time. He then turned to see Hypno on the ground with tears in his eyes. The captain of the guard slowly waddled over and helped the poor accountant onto his hooves. As Hypno struggled to keep his balance with the thickness of his diapers and asked, ”why? Seriously why do you want to be babied again?”

Leaky rolled his eyes and scoffed, “maybe I just want to help Celestia and try to fix the damages you caused. Because having her baby me is not for me, it’s for her.”

Hypno with a confused expression asked, ”why though? Why do things like that? What's the point?”

Cannon Feather laughed and stomped his hooves and explained to his old friend. “You don't’ get it do you? Being a royal guard means to be selfless to help others. It was never about just doing what we want but keeping Celestia safe and secure even if it costs our dignity.”

Hypno looked down with shame and whispered under his breath, ”yeah...well…”

Lekay laid a hoof on his padded shoulder “you'll figure it out...I know you will.”

Hypno looked up with tears starting to flood his eyes and in a burst of raw emotion he hugged Leaky and started to bawl like a baby. Cannon Feather smiled and hugged his old friend wrapping his hooves around both Hypno and Leaky. All the captain of the royal guard blinked in confused unsure of again how to react and just softly patted the accountant on the back.
