On an ordinary afternoon in Ponyville, Diamond Tiara walked along towards the spa with her friend Silver Spoon. The filly’s tail twitched while she thought over what she was about to do. It had been a month or so since the little mix up that had lead her to the new treatment, but it had all been worth it. Since then she had gone two other times, conversing with the nice mare who she’d come to see as a far more loving mother than her birth one. Spending time acting like a foal had let her vent out all her woes while also allowing for a carefree atmosphere to just be herself. Something she would certainly never get at home. As the time for the reveal came ever closer, she worried about sharing her experience with one of her closest friends.
Diamond had known Silver since Kindergarten and trusted her enough to not judge. Despite this, she still felt worried that Silver Spoon might mark her a freak for such an out there hobby. In truth, she didn’t have to tell anypony and could have kept this all a secret. But somehow she just felt it would be better than hiding it. It went without saying that the unknown was making her hesitant, but she kept moving on anyway, determined that this wouldn’t jeopardize her oldest friendship.
Upon entering the spa, Aloe greeted them from the counter waving with her usual welcoming smile. “Good afternoon, Diamond, right on time. And I see you brought a friend.”
“You don’t mind, do you, Aloe?” Diamond innocently asked.
Aloe happily replied with a shake of her head. “Oh no no no, the more the merrier as they say. Right this way if you please.”
Silver followed her friend further inside soon raising an eyebrow when of instead of heading down the hall, they ascended up a stairwell to the second floor. Their usual hooficure and back rubs took place on the ground floor after all, Tiara had to know that. “Diamond, why are we coming up here?” The filly asked.
Diamond gulped as they approached the room for the treatment and turned to give her friend a serious look. “Silver, you have got to Pinkie Promise to me that you won’t tell anypony about any of this.”
“Really? Wow, this must be serious,” Silver commented with a bit of curiosity. Still, she performed the motions of the chant, finishing wit a hoof to her closed eye. “There, now will you tell me what this is all about?”
Diamond nodded. “It’s complicated so I’ll just show you, but please don’t laugh or freak out.” She hesitated for a moment before knocking a few times on the door. A second passed as Diamond was having another sliver of doubt about the whole thing, but she could do nothing about it as the smiling face of Evergreen came into view as the door was opened.
The green mare stared at Silver Spoon before speaking. “Oh Diamond, you brought a friend.”
Diamond nodded feeling already at home with Evergreen around. “Yeah, hope you don’t mind.”
Evergreen waved her hoof as she turned to lead them in. “Oh not at all, sharing hobbies can be fun after all. Do come in.”
Silver took a few steps inside with Diamond, closing the door behind her, and was quick to notice the odd decor consisting of childish furniture and vibrant colours. The room smelt like fresh flowers thanks to a set of scented candles. Then she quickly noticed that the room resembled a cross between a nursery and a two year old’s bedroom. “W-what is this? Is that a changing table?” She gulped. This was definitely wasn’t a normal spa visit. Maybe Tiara had made a mistake?
Diamond cheeks began to blush, trying to find the right words. After a quick pause, she sighed. “It’s a way for me to unwind while having some carefree fun.” She hadn’t told anyone other then Evergreen about her mother issues, but she was sure Silver would figure that part out in time. Then, seemingly without any shame, Diamond took her seat on the changing table well aware Silver was staring at her.
“This is strange.” Silver commented, watching as Evergreen got out a fluffy white diaper with primary shapes dotting it surface. “Wait, you’re going to wear that?!” She gasped!
Diamond blushed while leaning back and letting the garment slid under her, while Evergreen smiled towards the new filly. “Well you see, my treatment involves helping ponies go back to a younger time in thier lives where they have no worries at all. Don’t worry, nothing is forced upon you. If you are unsure, we could start with dress up. Would you like that?”
Silver sat on a soft cushion nearby, still unsure how to respond and just watching in silence as Diamond was padded up. “Please don’t tell me you use those things.”
“No, not in a million years! It’s just for the feeling and look, don’t laugh,” Diamond explained and covered her face, blushing. “You don’t have to stay, I’d understand.” The loud padding rustled as the filly climbed off the table, having a waddle in her step.
Silver blinked realizing why her friend had been so twitchy about this activity. “So how does this work?” She asked, observing Diamond waddle her way to the closet and picking out a rather nice purple dress with a short skirt. Evergreen helped dress her up the costume adjusting to Diamond’s size. “Wow, that’s something new.”
Evergreen nodded. “Oh yes, the outfits are one size fits all. They magically grow or shrink to fit any pony perfectly.”
Silver could clearly see the diaper poking out of the back of Diamond outfit as she nodded at the explanation. The attire did indeed made her friend look like an oversized toddler. But somehow also made her cuter when she put her tiara back on. She let out a little giggle, putting her hoof to her mouth. “Sorry, you just look like a kindergartner.”
Diamond blushed, shaking her diapered rump a little. “Y-yeah that’s the idea, Silver. Maybe you should dress up as an elephant?” She suggested.
Silver turned around and looked into the closet, staring at the variety of outfits. Standing up, Silver wandered inside it and moved the hangers as she thought it over. Despite the childish look to them, they were crafted well, even spotting Rarity’s logo on a few of them. Did that mean Rarity knew about this as well? Or did she just make the dresses and drop them off without asking questions?
Evergreen walked up behind Silver and smiled. “I think you would look adorable in the fairy outfit.” The mare pointed to an amber dress with attached see-through wings and matching blue shoes. The whole thing was covered in a glitter like substance, making it look magical to the eye.
Silver thought about it, while watching Diamond sit down at the table nearby and draw with a grin on her muzzle. She couldn’t help but feel jealous of her friend’s carefree attitude. A stark contrast to how Tiara usually was. “I guess it can’t hurt to try,” Silver commented. “What’s this treatment about, anyway? I get that diapers are part of it, but there’s gotta be more to it than that, right?”
Evergreen removed the costume from the rack and brought it into the main room to show it off. The light sparkled off the glittery fabric like a disco ball. “Well, within this room you can be as young as you want without worries or cares. Here you can let your imagination run wild and be yourself without fear of judgment. Be it being a foal or a hyperactive toddler. All that matters is that you relax.” She beamed with pride while holding the dress open for Silver.
“Oh, I see.” Silver considered the philosophy of it, and knowing just how stressful Diamond’s mother could be, she started to see why her friend came here. Tiara made it no secret that she and her mother had a difficult relationship to put it mildly.
As she slipped into the costume, Silver kept watching Diamond draw and hum with the occasional shift on her diaper bottom. If she was having fun, maybe this wasn’t so bad. At the least it was worth a shot. Silver’s head soon popped out of the neck hole as the sleeves were adjusted. Turning her head, she stared at the fluttery wings sticking up out of the back and recalled memories of when her mom would dress her up in all kinds of outfits all the time. Her mother had quite a gift for throwing fancy parties, and thus, often used her daughter as a model. Silver never minded it, in fact, she enjoyed dressing up on occasion, but nothing this childish. Still, a smile grew on her face as she glanced in the mirror, shaking her back to make the wings flutter. Her friend's chipper domainer was becoming contagious, causing her to grin as well.
“Oh I see you like your outfit, fairy queen,” Evergreen cooed, taking a moment to peer back at Diamond, who was holding up her drawing for her caretaker to see. Said drawing was of a playground with a few figures of herself and her friends playing. “Oh, that’s very nice Diamond Tiara.” She praised, noticing the filly had intentionally drawn it as infantile as possible while still having a style to it.
Diamond kept smiling, hopping up and down. “Thanks,” She then glanced over at Silver, clapping upon seeing the costume. “Oh, you look nice, Silver,” The padded filly climbed off her chair and waddled over to her friend. “So, what do you think?”
“Well, this is certainly something different,” Silver replied, adjusting the dress. “This outfit is kind of pretty,” With a quick pause she resumed talking.”So what do we do now?”
Diamond tapped her chin, humming as she took a moment to glance around the room for an idea. The activities were so numerous that the filly was having trouble deciding what Silver would like to take part in. Thinking back to previous times they had hung out, Diamond moved to the numerous pillows upon the one crib and proceed to toss one at Sliver, watching as it impacted her squarely on the nose.
Thankfully, the glasses stayed on Silver’s face while she laughed. “Oh, it is so on!” She smirked hurrying over to the pillows and snatching one up. But before Silver could counter attack, Diamond unleashed a large pink pillow upon her friend’s head, bursting into laughter. The silver filly was quick to swing and resume the plush battle. “Ha, that all you got? A foal throws better than you!” She mocked, seeing Diamond blush as she fired another pillow in retort.
“Hehe, I am a foal.” Tiara giggled. She dodged another projectile, before throwing another at her friend.
Silver hardly noticed the time slip by as she battled with her close friend, watching Diamond flop onto the ground to expose her padding on occasion. Mountains of plush pillows were soon scattered around the room as the two sat down to rest. Silver let out a laugh. “Well, that was rather fun it was like one of our sleepovers.”
“Yeah, but a lot more childish and none of my mom’s complaints about the noise.” Diamond commented, sticking her tounge out.
As the friends chatted to themselves, Evergreen happily mixed up a bottle, adding some chocolate mix to it. The creamy chocolate milk was soon ready and she made her way up to the crib. “Oh Diamond, deary, I have your baba.” She sang, giving the bottle a light shake.
Diamond’s cheeks flared again feeling self conscious with her friend around for this part. “Uh, want to feed me, Silver?” She asked, taking the bottle in her hooves.
Silver rubbed the back of her neck. “Uh well, I suppose if you want me to,” She took the bottle into her hooves, having flashbacks from when she’d babysat her niece a month back. This new experience she’d been shown over the last hour or so had given her some perspective. The diaper on Diamond bottom didn't seem so weird now. It was still very foreign but seeing Diamond having fun made her give it a chance. Maybe eventually Silver would try one on for herself, just to see what it was like? “Want me to hold the back of your head too?” She asked her friend.
The padded filly let out a slight giggle, her cheeks still flushed red. “Sure.” She eagerly leaned back into Silver’s embrace while Evergreen watched Silver set the nipple into the foal’s mouth. She can’t help but smile as her friend began to slowly suckle down the formula and despite everything, Silver couldn’t help but find it adorable.
All of Diamond’s previous nervousness melted away as she focused on the sole act of drinking down her snack. The warm embrace was always comforting, even more so now that her friend was doing it. The activity seeming to last for a while as he closed her eyes. She felt a hoof on her tummy as it slowly gave her a massage, assuming it was Evergreen. The foal slumped into the motions, sighing and taking her time to swallow down her milk. She hardly noticed that two minutes had gone by and soon found that the bottle was empty.
Evergreen dawed, patting Tiara’s diaper before she slid the foal into her lap. The filly opened her eyes and blushed some more, staring at the older mare and her friend dropping the bottle. Silver was tapping her chin as the silence lasted for a few more seconds before she spoke. “You looked really relaxed doing that. Is it that good?” She asked, staring at the bottle with curiosity.
Diamond shifted leaning more into Evergreen’s warm chest. “Well it is rather soothing. Maybe you’d like to try it?” She suggested, sighing again as the older mare massaged her tummy more.
Silver tapped her hooves together, eyes wandering down the childish outfit she was in. For a moment she watched Diamond’s relaxed position. ‘Well... alright, I guess it can’t hurt.” She leaned back into the sofa, watching Evergreen rise up and move to the kitchen. The mare pulled out a pink foal bottle, before getting a jug of milk and chocolate mix, pouring the contents inside and stirring well. With a small snap of the rubber nipple, the mare came back to the couch and sat down, holding out the bottle for the filly.
Silver blushed while grasping the container in her hooves, a little nervous with the others watching. Sure, they wouldn’t tell a soul, but part of her still felt uncomfortable. After a moment, she reluctantly pushed the nipe into her mouth and suckled. It took a few tries before she got a steady stream going. The sensation was rather interesting, the filly soon finding herself leaning back on the couch.
The bottle soon was empty and was set aside. Diamond smiled at Silver, now hugging a teddy bear. “So did you like it?”
“Well, it was quite the new experience, I’ll say that much,” Silver replied. “I can see why you feel so relaxed here,” She grabbed a teddy bear from nearby and hugged it, smelling strawberries. “What else is there?”
Evergreen smiled, giving Tiara’s head another pat. “Well if you don’t mind sharing a tub, I could get you two a nice bubble bath. We have some rainbow bubbles too.”
Silver tilted her head, pondering the experience. It’d been ages since she enjoyed a nice bath that wasn’t full of fancy salts and soaps. Even at home she often preferred just to take showers most of the time because of that. It only took her a second to make up her mind as she nodded. “Alright, that sounds nice.” Diamond nodded as well, hugging Evergreen with a beaming smile.
Evergreen let the two take off their outfits (and for Diamond her diaper) as she prepared the bath. As the two came into the bathroom near the back, they noticed the sight of a pooling pile of bubbles in the water, shifting colors from time to time. The mare had even put in a toy boat and rubber duck for them. The two climbed into the warm bath, taking opposite sides of the generously sized tub. Diamond was the first to sling bubble onto her face, making a big beard of it.
Silver laughed a little, putting some bubbles on herself to make a mustache. “You stop playing and do your homework, missy.” She did her best impression of her father, letting all worries fade.
Diamond splashed Silver, melting her beard. “Ha, never! Playing is much more fun than boring math.” She then squeaked as Evergreen scrubbed one of her ticklish spots, resulting in Tiara splashing the mare in the face!
The caretaker just smiled, moving the droopy mane out of her eyes. “Now dear, don’t splash too much or you’ll leave me with a lot of water to clean up.” She gave Tiara a boop on the nose once more before squeaking the rubber duck for the two. Silver grabbed it a moment later, and squeaked it some more. Diamond joined the little game, moving the red tug boat about. The two fillies hardly noticed as they were fully washed off during the tens minute that they played.
Evergreen didn’t say much as the foals played for a few more minutes, beaming ear to ear as they did. Once they seemed satisfied with their playtime, she brought the towels over. “Alright you two, time to dry off and get ready to go.” She called, quickly wrapping a towel over their manes. Diamond seemed ticklish as one of the fluffy towels was rubbed all over, her drying her with expert care.
Silver Spoon laughed upon seeing Diamond’s coat poof out from all the static cling. She slipped her glasses back onto her muzzle, watching as her friend shook a few times before returning her coat to normal.
After the two had brushed their coats, they exited back into the main room where a plate of cookies and milk awaited them. As they sat down, Silver once more looked at Diamond thinking over what had just happened. “Well, this was certainly something new.”
Diamond beamed, cookie crumbs covering her muzzle. “I appreciate you giving it a try, Silver, even if you didn’t wear a diaper. It means a lot.” She quickly got up and gave her friend a hug.
Silver relaxed and ate one of the cookies. “Yeah, maybe I’ll join you again sometime. Maybe even put on a diaper to see what it feels like. I’m just glad you found a way to get away from your mother. I know she’d never approve of this stuff.”
Tiara nodded. “Yeah, Evergreen is a way better mother figure. I kind of wish she was my actual mom.”
Evergreen felt pride build up in her chest. “Well, I’m always overjoyed when making others feel happy and carefree. And I have to say that Diamond here is one of the cutest foals I’ve ever foalsat. “ She teased, causing the rich filly to blush once again.
Silver giggled putting her hoof to her muzzle. “Oh, I would have drawn something, but I’m not sure my mom really cares for arts and crafts. She’s more of a literature pony.” Her gaze fell upon the far right wall were a large chalkboard was stationed. Upon it were numerous crayon drawings from the patrons of this little service. The quality varied, but there was always a common theme of freedom and imagination. She was getting a good feeling of why this mare set up the room here.
As the two finished their snacks and got up to leave. Diamond gave Evergreen a big hug. “Thanks again for the wonderful time, Evergreen.” Waving her second mother goodbye, Diamond left the room with Silver and headed along, the two having just enough time left for a hooficure. The little filly smiled brightly, glad that inviting Silver Spoon had made the experience even more enjoyable, along with the prospects of her coming along again. Being a foal was great fun and so worth it.
