It had been a few weeks since the defeat of Tirek at the hooves of the mane six, Ponyville had returned to normal and everypony had finally settled back into routine; Everypony except for Diamond Tiara.
“I can’t believe nopony is paying any attention to me!” Diamond Tiara grumbled to Silver Spoon, the only other filly who was still interested in talking or playing with her. “Everypony is obsessed with talking with those dumb blank flanks.”
With a sigh Silver replied. “You’re still upset over that Diamond? I told you it’ll go back to normal soon, it always does!” She said, packing up her schoolbooks in a saddlebag before starting to walk with Diamond “After all, we’re the coolest fillies in school! Besides, you even said being popular was so tiring, aren’t you glad you got a break?” The filly asked in obliviousness.
Diamond rolled her eyes, “Of course I’m glad I got a break, but I want to be popular again, now!” She demanded stomping her hoof in a foalish display of impatience. “I wonder if that weird pony who lives in the forest could help?”
Giving a small cough at the cloud of dirt that was kicked up when Diamond stomped her hoof, Silver Spoon let out a small groan. “But the forest is a super long walk! Why don’t we just buy something? I’m sure there’s plenty of weird things we could use to help you be popular again.” The grey pony let out a small sigh, she was uncertain if she wanted to be the center of attention again. In truth Silver Spoon enjoyed being able to spend time with her friend without having to show off to everypony all the time, but she’d never tell Diamond that.
The duo of fillies quickly passed through the busy afternoon streets of Ponyville, Diamond Tiara stopped outside of a small building and read the business sign aloud. “‘Moon Shroud’s Artifact Emporium’, Silver I think I have an idea.” Her face broke into a mischievous grin, “I bet this place has just what we need.”
“Diamond don’t you remember what your mom said? Your face will stay like that if you’re not careful.” Silver Spoon said with concern on her own face. “Don’t forget what happened last time, you didn’t leave home for a month!”
The two fillies opened the door and entered the shop. They were greeted by a candle lit room, old furniture rested as thought a tornado had gone through the store. On the shelves and tables various old looking books and what appeared to be small figurines or statues and other decorative pieces laid covered in dust and cobwebs.
“May I help you girls?” A feminine voice asked from behind the counter that held several artifacts. Moon Shroud smiled at them, her coat was perriwinkle, her eyes a deep green. “I’m Moon Shroud, welcome to my shop!”
Silver Spoon jumped a little bit, having not noticed the mare behind the counter due to all of the clutter in the store. Her eyes were drawn to a large golden looking necklace with a gem on it around the mare’s neck. “That’s a pretty necklace.”
The old mare let out a small chuckle, “Thank you dearie, it’s a family heirloom. I don’t get many ponies your age in my shop, I’m going to guess that you’re here for some sort of prank?”
Diamond Tiara put on her best ‘sweet little filly smile’, “Uh-Huh, we want to play a prank on Princess Twilight and her friends.” She rummaged around in one of her saddlebags and pulled out a small pouch containing several hundred bits. “I only have this many bits, is that enough for anything?”
Moon Shroud’s eyes grew large at the number of bits on her countertop, it was enough to pay all her bills for the year and still have many bits left over. “I have just the thing for you,” She beckoned for the two fillies to follow her, they exchanged glances and followed her to a well lit back room. There were large display cases showing off various powerful artifacts that were from all over Equestria. “I think you’ll find this,” She held up a small golden bracelet to the fillies. “Will help you get up to some mischief. It amplifies your natural charms and makes ponies obey your every command, within reason of course.”
The grey earth pony admired the bracelet in awe, for some reason she was transfixed by it and the several colourful gems that lined it’s rim. “Its beautiful...” She trailed off, the magic already showing influence on Silver Spoon.
Diamond took the bracelet from the older mare, slipping it onto one of her front hooves. She felt a surge of power run through her body, from muzzle to tail. It was incredible. “Silver?” She asked feeling compelled to try out the artifact. “I want you to brush my mane and tail every night this week.”
“Okay Diamond, I don’t mind.” The filly replied with a small nod; She wanted to object, hating having to help Diamond with her mane because she was so picky but for some reason she couldn’t say no.
“It’s perfect.” Was all Diamond had to say, she quickly gave the old mare another hoof full of bits. “If anypony asks, we weren’t here and you never saw us.”
Moon Shroud gestured that she was ‘zipping her lips’ closed and then walked the two fillies out of her shop.
After a short walk back to more familiar parts of ponyville, the two fillies could see Twilight’s castle peeking out above other buildings.
“So what are you going to do with that?” Silver asked, still slightly transfixed by the magical bracelet on Diamond’s hoof. “You have something in mind already?”
“I’ve got a few ideas in mind.” Was all Diamond Tiara said, not wanting to reveal her plan just yet. “I could make Twilight teach me, that would make me popular.”
“I’m surprised you didn’t say you were going to do something like make the Crusaders wear diapers or something for being blank flanks!” Silver said, putting ideas into Diamond’s head inadvertently. “Or some of the other things you say all the time!”
Shortly after seeing the Cutie Mark Crusaders leaving the castle, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon entered, being greeted by spike who had yet to close the door.
“Diamond Tiara? Silver Spoon? What are you two doing here?” Spike asked with a confused look on his face.
“We’re here to see the Princess!” Diamond and Silver said in unison, both fillies smiling sweetly at the small dragon.
The purple dragon shrugged. “She’s in the weird map room down the hall, she still doesn’t know what she wants everypony to call it, but it’s a big room with a map in it. You can’t miss it.” He said pointing to a set of large doors down a rather elegant corridor in the castle.
Thanking Spike, the two fillies made their way into the map room where Twilight was cleaning up various scrolls that had been left out from the crusaders time with her.
“I wish they’d remember to put their scrolls and books away in the proper way like I taught them!” Twilight mumbled to herself as she used her magic to lift up several books, placing them on the shelves via the dewey decimal system. “How will I ever be able to find some of these again?” She continued, not noticing that it was the two fillies and not spike that had entered. “Spike I want you to-”
“I’m not Spike, Princess Twilight.” Diamond Tiara said, making Twilight snap to attention. “From now on, you’re my personal assistant until I say otherwise and you have to listen to all my demands!” The filly snapped, the gold bracelet on her foreleg glowing for a brief moment.
For a moment while the alicorn was still turned away, she let out a small giggle. “That’s extremely sill- I mean. I.” She paused as she viewed the bracelet on the filly’s wrist, something making her body obey the command even though her mind objected to it. “Y-yes Diamond Tiara. Whatever you say.”
“Looks like it’s working!” Silver Spoon said, only slightly concerned by the fact that her friend was able to seemingly take full control over one of the most powerful ponies in Equestria.
“I want you to summon all of your friends, tell them that the new Queen of Ponyville demands their presence.” Diamond said, seating herself in one of the tall chairs around the table. “And get your assistant to bring me a snack.”
“Ofcourse Diamond Tiara.” Twilight replied, before illuminating her horn to give a magical call to her friends. “Spike! Bring in a snack!” She yelled.
*****
After a short time the other five elements entered room and were rather confused.
“Twi? Why’d you call us here? I was having a really nice nap!” Rainbow Dash said before catching herself. “I uh, I mean I was working! I totally was clearing clouds like I was supposed to be!”
“The new Queen of Ponyville demanded your presence here, and she makes a very compelling argument.” Twilight said sheepishly. “Diamond Tiara told me it was very important that you all be here for her coronation.”
“New Queen of Ponyville?” Rarity asked with a small laugh. “Twilight dear, if you really wanted to play a practical joke on us you should have waited until I wasn’t so busy, I have a lot of clients waiting on their orders, I simply do not have the time for this.”
“Ah Agree with Rarity, I don’t have time for jokes right now, the fall harvest is here and I’ve got more chores than last harvest. Sorry Twi.”
Foalish laughter filled the room, the filly it belonged to doubling over in her seat. “It doesn’t matter what you girls want anymore, it’s all about what I want!” Diamond Tiara explained, holding up her leg and examining her bracelet. “Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy.” She spoke each name slowly, forcing each pony to look directly at her. “You have to listen to my every command, if I want something you have to get me it. If I tell you to do something, you do it without question.”
As the five ponies looked to Diamond and were commanded to obey her, the room suddenly started to grow darker as the lights in the room seemed to dim, there was a bright flash from the friendship map before a black shroud seemed to emanate from the center of it until it covered the whole table. As their control faded away so did the magic that seemed to amplify their power.
“That was really weird.” Silver Spoon said, frowning at the now dark room. “What happened to all the lights?”
“It must be the Bracelet’s magic, it’s done something to the map.” Twilight frowned, she knew she should be more concerned but the compulsion made her focus on Diamond Tiara. “What would you like us to do?” She asked.
“That’s a silly question Twilight! She already told us that we should do everything she tells us without asking why!” Pinkie Pie said, looking to the table. “She hasn’t said anything about the table!”
“First things first…” Diamond said trailing off after thinking for a moment. “Rarity and Pinkie, I want you both to wear diapers. You’ll both act like foals until I say so, and that includes using them too.”
“I refuse-” Rarity began to protest, she frowned fighting the compulsion but in the end nodded her head. “As you wish Diamond Tiara, I will…” She shuddered, “Wear these uncouth garments.”
Pinkie sprang into action, bouncing toward the back of the room. With one hoof the earth pony mare knocked along the wall until a small panel opened up. Inside the small hollow were two large packs of adult sized diapers. The mare giggled in a foalish manner, “You never know when somepony might have an accident and need them!”
“Pinkie, Why do you have this kind of stuff hidden in my castle?” Twilight asked giving Pinkie a strange look.
“Because!” Pinkie said, still bouncing as she opened one of the packages pulling out two very foalish diapers. “And that’s the reason why!”
“Pinkie, that doesn’t even make sense! Grammatically you can’t-” Twilight began lecturing, before being distracted by Diamond Tiara issuing more orders.
“I don’t recall asking for your opinion, Twilight. Rainbow Dash, Applejack, you’re now my dress up dolls. I want you to dress up in the girliest, frilliest dresses you can find. If you need bits Silver Spoon will give you some.”
“Wh-what!? No way!” Dash protested before her body seemed to take control of itself. “I’ll nev- O-okay...” She said with a struggle, her mind desperately wanting to protest. “I’ll see what I can find that I hate the most! That’s probably the girliest thing.”
“There ain’t no way in tartarus I’ll wear some frilly froo froo dress!” Applejack swore angrily, she could feel the magic working into her. She hated anything overly glamourous that drew too much attention to her. “Ah mean I’ll see what I can rustle up.” She said her head hanging low in defeat while she left the room with Dash to find dresses.
Fluttershy was taking the opportunity to try and sneak out of the room while Diamond Tiara gave orders to the others. The bracelet not directly taking effect on the pegasus due to her having been distracted by a bird near a window.
“Where do you think you’re going?”
“Um, I um, h-have to visit the filly’s room, I th-thought that would be okay.” Fluttershy replied, lying to the filly.
“I don’t think so. Animals like you go outside on the lawn, since you’re nothing but a filthy beast. I can’t believe how disgusting you are.” Diamond Tiara sneered, insulting the shy mare. “I expect you won’t disobey me again.” She said bapping the pegasus on her muzzle, “If you dare track mud in the castle, I’ll have to tell everypony you love being treated like a dirty farm animal!”
“B-but I don’t-” With a sudden flash of the bracelet to Fluttershy’s eyes the magic started to work on her as well, pulling her into Diamond’s control. “Y-yes Diamond Tiara, I’m ever so very sorry, p-please forgive me? I’ll go outside like a good girl.” She said, ears down to either side of her head and tail tucked between her legs.
Silver Spoon frowned at Diamond Tiara. “Um, Diamond, I know your allowance is a lot but I don’t have the bits to help them pay for dresses if this gets too expensive... I thought this was only meant to be a joke.” She said, concern filling her voice, even though Diamond was her best friend this was beginning to almost scare her.
“Don’t worry, just tell them to put it on Daddy’s tab.” The pink coated filly said dismissing her friend from the room. She turned her attention back toward Rarity and Pinkie, eagerly she watched them begin to diaper one another. “If I didn’t know you better, Rarity, I’d say you were enjoying putting on that diaper.”
“Honestly Diamond you’re seeing things that simply aren’t true.” The unicorn replied as the final tape of her diaper was put into place leaving the garment snugly around her plot. “I detest these comfortable, adorable, and simply relaxing objects.”
“I like them!” Pinkie Pie chimed in, laying back on one of the poofy diapers. She spread her hind legs open, revealing her marehood to Rarity. “I don’t have Magic, I’m going to need your help.” She explained giggling at the situation she was in.
With what seemed like a lot of practice Rarity finished adjusting her own diaper before moving onto Pinkie. She slowly pulled Pinkie’s tail through the tail hole and applied foal powder, rubbing it thoroughly into Pinkie’s coat before pulling the front of the diaper up into place, bringing the tabs from either side to the taping panel before securing them in place. Gently she gave Pinkie’s diaper a pat before letting out a small sneeze from the small cloud of powder. “There we go, now you don’t have to worry about the potty.” She said in a foalish voice.
The pink mare smiled and pulled Rarity into a tight hug, her hooves wrapping around her back. After the gentle embrace Pinkie looked expectantly at the domineering filly. “Diamond Tiara, should we…” She trailed off, a blush covering her muzzle. Despite that she often wore alone it was entirely different to do so in front of others.
“We’ll get to that in a moment. Twilight!” Diamond Tiara called, the magic of the bracelet seeming to make her more aggressive with each passing moment. “I have a special punishment for you. Since you seem to enjoy having a maid do all the work around here for you, I think you’ll be my personal maid. For starters, whenever those two foals use their diapers, I want you to clean them up.” She waited for Twilight to begin protesting.
“I’m not going to-” Twilight started to protest again before the bracelet took over again. “C-clean them up? I c-can do that.” She hesitated.
“Though it seems we don’t have any foalwipes, so I guess you’ll be cleaning them with your tongue.” The filly said dismissively. “Of course I wouldn’t be so cruel as to make you lick a messy diaper clean, you may use whatever is in your castle to clean them up if that happens.”
With another moment of hesitation Twilight nodded. “O-of course Diamond, I can do that.” She said, her wings suddenly flaring out as her muzzle turned red from the thought of having to lick her friends most private areas.
Rarity knew she shouldn’t have had a tea party with her sister that morning, if she had only decided on a scone instead of a third cup of tea. She shifted uncomfortably on her hooves, feeling the pressure in her bladder growing immensely. After several minutes of trying to hold it, she felt the dam crack open. At first it was only a small trickle, but a tiny crack was all it took. “A-Ah~” She sighed in relief, spreading her hind legs apart feeling the urine rush into the thick garment between her thighs.
Diamond Tiara blushed while watching this all unfold. “Are you enjoying yourself?” She asked watching Rarity’s diaper turn from pristine white to bright yellow in just a few short seconds. She would never admit to anypony but watching the prim and proper mare relieve herself was one of the most arousing moments of her young life.
*****
Outside of the castle, Rainbow Dash was busy trying to make herself be as frilly as possible, she had already acquired a rather pink dress and was on her way to get some makeup when Scootaloo noticed her.
“Rainbow Dash!” Scootaloo called after her idol, frantically waving her hooves at the mare.
With a swift movement of her wings, Rainbow landed next to Scootaloo. “Whats up squirt?” She asked, as if nothing was different.
The small pegasus frowned at the dress draped over her sister’s back. “I thought you didn’t like that overly girly stuff?”
Dash nodded. “I hate it!” She said matter of factly before continuing. “Hey you wouldn’t happen to have some makeup I could borrow do you?”
Scootaloo blushed bright pink, motioning for Rainbow to get closer. “Um, don’t tell Sweetie or Apple Bloom but I’ve got one of those really big makeup kits. My Aunt Lofty got it for me for my birthday, she said ‘A cute filly such as yourself should have plenty of makeup!’” She explained avoiding eye contact.
With a small snicker Dash replied. “Well hey, you wouldn’t mind if I borrowed it for now would you? I really have to get back to the castle!” She said fearing the consequences of taking too long. “It’s super important!”
The filly smiled happily, “Of course you can borrow it Rainbow Dash! You’re my big sister.” Scootaloo said ecstatically, leading the prismatic mare to her house. Once they had arrived she trotted inside, giving her aunts a quick greeting before returning with the large case of makeup. “So what’s so important at the castle?” She asked hoofing over the container.
“The new Queen of Ponyville wanted me to be her new dress up doll, she said I needed to be as frilly as possible, and that I needed all kinds of stuff like makeup, she said the same thing to Applejack, but I gotta get back, so thanks for lending me the makeup Scoots!” Dash said, spreading her wings and taking flight with the makeup kit now resting on her back leaving Scootaloo to be confused.
Applejack was just returning to Twilight’s Castle, Rainbow Dash landing softly beside her. “Ah can’t believe we’re doing this.” She muttered, wiping her hooves on a large welcoming mat outside the door. As if things couldn’t get bad enough, the mare witnessed her shy friend doing unspeakable things on the lawn. “F-Fluttershy? What in tarnation are you doing?” She questioned.
The yellow pegasus had just finishing kicking some dirt up over where she had been ‘acting out’ her new role. “Um, I’m just being a good girl for Diamond Tiara. I haven’t done something wrong have I?” She asked meekly.
Dash’s muzzle turned a bit red having watched her friend’s display. “W-well I’d b-better get inside!” She said, wings now flared in an erect position.
“Oh, I’ll come in too, it’s supposed to rain soon!” Fluttershy said, walking with both of them to the doors of the castle before suddenly being pulled back into place, a lead attached to a stake in the middle of the grassy area beneath the castle preventing her from entering the door. The pegasus let out a sigh. “I forgot... Diamond said good girls stay outside until they’re let in.”
Rainbow Dash and Applejack approached their ‘Queen’ and bowed as though she were royalty. “We have the dresses and makeup, is there anything else we need Diamond Tiara?”
The young filly brought a hoof to her chin in thought. “Hmm, those cutiemarks of yours won’t do at all! They’re not girly enough! I’m sure Twilight has some sort of spell that can give you girlier cutiemarks, and they’d better be kept on display for everypony to see."
“Your wish is my command, Mistress Diamond.” Twilight said meekly. The Alicorn’s horn glowed purple, the magic of a glamour spell touching Rainbow and AJ’s cutiemarks. Rainbow’s cutiemark changed drastically. Where once a rainbow lightning bolt was adorned, a tutu, tiara, and fairy’s wand had taken its place.
Applejack’s cutiemark was less of a change, the three red apples that were once proudly displayed on her flank changed to pink and had a glittery shine on them reflecting the now frilly status of the farm pony.
“Diamond this is starting to be weird. First you made Rarity and Pinkie wear diapers, now you’re making Fluttershy stay outside like she was some kind of misbehaving dog.” Silver Spoon frowned, the bracelet’s spell beginning to lose its grasp on her. “I think I want to go home.” She said looking away from Diamond.
Whilst Silverspoon protested, Twilight took notice that Rarity’s diaper was soaked and she needed changed. Doing as instructed, the purple alicorn took a fresh diaper and laid it down next to Rarity before opening the tapes on the soiled garment. Hesitating for a moment, Twilight lowered her head into Rarity’s nethers and started to lick her clean, her mind wanting to protest this action, screaming internally about how she should fight it but the magic from the bracelet still in strong effect over her.
“T-Twilight~” Rarity moaned, pushing her friend’s muzzle further into her folds. “I never knew you were so experienced at such uncouth things!” She twitched, her hind legs quivering in delight. It wouldn’t be long before she gave in to her most primal desire. “I’m beginning to e-enjoy this, I can’t believe how good it felt to wet myself!”
Pinkie Pie, who at this point was in a rather different state of diaper bounced over to the two of them. “Of course Twilight’s good at it! She’s a princess!” She said with a giggle before pushing on the back of the purple mare’s head, thrusting her muzzle deep into Rarity. “Silly Twilight! I guess now we know she’s a fillyfooler!”
Diamond Tiara couldn’t look away, her eyes were transfixed on the purple mare’s tongue sliding in and out of Rarity’s marehood. “P-Pinkie Pie, come here.” She called, motioning for her to come closer. “Present your rear to me, I need to c-check if you’ve kept yourself dry.”
With a happy bounce, Pinkie released Twilight’s head from Rarity’s crotch eliciting a loud gasp from the princess now that she could breathe again. A few more bounces took place before the pink mare presented her rear to Diamond Tiara; With her head down and her plot high in the air it was clear that her diaper was not only the opposite of dry, but the amount of sagging revealed much more intense usage.
“Twilight! Once you’re finished making Rarity feel better about her accident, you’ll have to change Pinkie.” Diamond said, one hoof making its way down to her nethers rubbing gently along them. She huffed quietly, arousal building inside of her young body, several droplets of moisture dripping down onto her chair. “Make sure you bring the pet inside too, you’ll have to feed her and give her a treat.” She said quietly thinking of how she could further humiliate the shy mare. “I’ll provide the treat of course, only the finest treats will do for my dog.”
*****
After Scootaloo’s strange experience with Dash earlier she decided to find the other crusaders and ask if they’d noticed anything strange.
“I saw Applejack at Rarity’s boutique with a bunch of dresses, it was really weird!” Sweetie Belle said with some concern. “And from here you can see Twilight’s castle is all pink and stuff now! It almost looks like a doll house!”
“Ah think something strange is going on in that castle. Ah even saw Fluttershy outside, she was on a lead and pretending to be some kinda animal.” Apple Bloom explained, the memory of Fluttershy acting so strangely made her think Discord was somehow involved. “Maybe Discord is playing one of his ‘practical jokes’ again?”
“Rainbow Dash said something about the new queen of Ponyville, queen doesn’t sound like something Discord would try to be.” Scootaloo replied. “Maybe we should go to the castle and see if anypony there knows what’s going on?”
Sweetie and Apple Bloom nodded in agreement, “Let’s go Crusaders!” Sweetie called in excitement taking off in a gallop toward the castle. “Didn’t you say something about makeup earlier Scoots?” She asked remembering her pegasus friend mentioning something about a makeup case.
With a small blush Scootaloo replied. “Uh, yeah, Dash was looking for makeup, but I totally didn’t have any to give her!”
Apple Bloom shot Scootaloo a look but decided it was better to not pursue the subject any further. The three fillies came to a stop at the front doors of the castle, they each exchanged a glance before slowly proceeding inside. They carefully snuck down the hallway toward the map room, the three pushed the door open revealing quite the scene.
The trio were shocked to find Twilight muzzle deep in Rarity who had a soaked, open diaper under her plot, Pinkie with a rather used diaper bouncing through the room, Rainbow Dash and Applejack in the corner having a tea party in their girly attire, and at the center of it all, Fluttershy in a collar and on a leash with some newspapers under her, her muzzle planted firmly against Diamond Tiara’s nethers.
Scootaloo was the first to make a sound, she wanted to scream or shout but what came out was only a squeak.
“What did you do to my sister!?” Sweetie Belle cried out with several cracks in her voice. She didn’t know how to act, how to even comprehend what she was seeing. The idea of seeing Rarity in an even remotely compromising position was shocking enough to her, let alone this.
“Diamond Tiara! What’ve ya done?!” Apple Bloom managed after a moment of thought on how to proceed. “Let them go!”
Diamond pushed Fluttershy away from her nethers, a clear trail connecting the two, making her shiver as the cool air brushed across her moistened lips. “I was wondering when you three blank flanks would show up.” She scoffed, “Bow to me like the foals you are!” She waved her bracelet adorned hoof in front of their eyes only to have nothing happen. “I, I don’t understand, I said bow to me!”
The three crusaders stood in confusion as the gemstones on the bracelet illuminated before fizzling out, they could feel a mild tingle and a strange compulsion to want to bow but they were still very much in control of their bodies.
“Bow, to you? You can’t be serious?” Apple Bloom retorted. “Why would we ever bow to a no good pony like you?”
The cloud of no control seemed to slip from Silver’s mind, her thoughts becoming her own once more. “Diamond you’ve gone way too far this time! This is wrong, this was supposed to be a stupid popularity scheme not some…” The words escaped her, “I don’t even know what this is anymore!” She cried in anger.
“Don’t tell me you agree with those blank flanks!” Diamond said, bringing herself to all four hooves, her eyes glowing a deep red as she waved her bracelet in front of Silverspoon again. “You’re my friend not theirs! Now help Twilight change Pinkie Pie.” She commanded.
Silverspoon stood still for a few moments, struggling with her own thoughts. “No.” She replied. “I won’t. I won’t help you do this!”
“No?!” The pink filly snapped in anger, her eyes still glowing the same red as several of the gemstones on the bracelet. “If you’re going to side with them then you get punished too!” She paused turning to Twilight who had just finished with Rarity. “Take all four of them and put them in diapers and throw them in the dungeon!”
“We don’t have a dungeon, Diamond Tiara.” Twilight replied, using one of her forehooves to rub any residual liquid away from her muzzle.
“Well make one then!” Diamond lashed out in a controlling tone.
Twilight frowned, unsure if she could actually do that. “I… I’m not actually sure if I can do that Mistress.” Her horn glowed purple once more, shackles of magic clasped themselves around Silver Spoon’s hooves. She led the grey filly from the room to her bedroom, once there she pushed her inside and shut the door. “I’m sorry Silver, I don’t want to do this but I have no choice. Diamond’s word is law as long as she has that bracelet.” Sighing in frustration she touched her horn to the door. A flash illuminated the dimly lit hallway, where once there had been a door there was now only a stone wall. Twilight panted, she hadn’t tried such a complex spell since she became a princess.
Silverspoon tried to struggle, she tried to resist and break free only to find the magical clasps tighten around her hooves. As she tried to speak a magical muzzle formed around her nose preventing her from talking. Completely at the mercy of Twilight’s magic, she found herself also being diapered, just as Diamond Tiara had commanded.
Back in the map room the Crusaders were slowly becoming surrounded by their controlled sisters. Just as they went to pounce on the three young fillies there was a flash of green.
Appearing above a tree in a different part of town, the crusaders bounced and tumbled through the branches before landing in a cart full of hay. A small puff of smoke came off of Sweetie Belle's now charred horn. “I, I think I did that?” She managed with a squeak.
“Ah didn’t know you could teleport Sweetie.” Apple Bloom said spitting hay out of her mouth, and rubbing a few scorched hairs on her head.
“Could have picked a better landing spot!” Scootaloo said as she brushed soot off of her coat.
Sweetie frowned. “Well I didn’t know it was gonna happen! It just kinda did, I couldn’t control it. B-but at least we’re not gonna get captured by Diamond Tiara now.”
“Did you see that bracelet Diamond had on? Everytime she ordered our sister’s to do something it glowed. I think that might be what’s letting her control them!” Scootaloo said, climbing out of the hay wagon. “If we could just get it away from her…”
“That doesn’t do us any good, it’s not like we can get it from her, and no offence to Sweetie Belle but I doubt her magic is strong enough to fight that thing.” Apple Bloom replied, helping Sweetie up over the side of the wagon.
“Twilight’s been teaching me about this kinda stuff, magical charms and things like that, there’s a shop in town that sells them! Maybe we can go there and ask if they’ve ever heard of this sort of thing?” Sweetie suggested, rubbing at her horn. “And I don’t think I can cast anymore spells anytime soon.”
“What if Diamond paid the shop pony to not say anything though? She is rich!” Scootaloo huffed in annoyance, she couldn’t keep the thought of Rainbow Dash in such a pretty dress out of her head. ‘I wish I had a dress like that!’
“Well we’ll just have to try! We can’t leave our sisters and their friends like that. Plus if we explain it I’m sure whoever sold it will help us, so where’s this shop at Sweetie Belle?”
Looking around, the young white unicorn pointed down a street. “Over on the other side of town. It’s called Moon Shroud’s something or something!” Sweetie Squeaked. “C’mon let’s go!”
*****
“I’m sorry, I’ve not heard of a mind control bracelet before.” Moonshroud said, flipping through the pages of a large magical book.
“Maybe it doesn’t actually mind control,” Sweetie interrupted. “What if it just makes them do whatever the wearer wants them to?”
Sighing the mare turned back to the three fillies. “May I ask why you’re looking for something that could do that?” She questioned, worrying now about her earlier sale.
“Our sisters and the elements of harmony are being controlled by Diamond Tiara! She’s using them to do really weird things!” Apple Bloom replied. “We need to know if there’s a way to stop it or Equestria could be in all kinds of danger!”
Moonshroud frowned, realizing she may have made a terrible mistake. “I’ll be honest dearies, I sold your little friend something out of my personal collection. I thought it was just for a practical joke, it’s only to be used for light hearted pranks not for making ponies do things against their will.”
“Well how do we stop it then?” Scootaloo asked. “There is a way to stop it right?”
“I never thought of it being used this way,” The older mare said. “So I never bothered to create a counterspell.” She paced behind the counter in silence for a few moments, thinking about possible solutions. “Aha, I’ve got it! Just get them to use the Elements of Harmony. That’ll solve all these problems.”
The three fillies collectively let out a sigh. “They don’t have the elements anymore, they put them in that weird tree thing to stop Discord’s magic.” Sweetie Belle said.
Moonshroud turned to a rather large stack of shelves that had many books and scrolls on it. She spent several moments pulling out books before finding the one she was looking for. With a cloud of dust she laid it out on the counter in front of her and skimmed the pages until she came across a drawing on one of the ancient pages. A six pointed star that looked awfully similar to Twilight’s cutiemark with various other symbols at each point that resembled the elements.
“The Elements of Harmony are just a catalyst, a way to channel the power, if their friendship is strong enough and you can get them to realize it, they should be able to tap into that power and free themselves from the grasp of the bracelet.” The mare explained, reading words from the page that were in a language the crusaders couldn’t read.
“Well how do we do that!?” Scootaloo asked in frustration.
“Oh I know, pick me, pick me!” Sweetie squeaked in foalish excitement. “We just have to get them to think about all the times they’ve solved friendship problems.” She explained happily to the other crusaders.
“I think we can do that, but how do we stop them from capturing us like they did to Silverspoon?” Apple Bloom asked. “If we aren’t careful we might end up stuck somewhere we can’t help from!”
“We have to risk it!” Scootaloo said. “There’s six of them and three of us, so we both take two ponies and try to get them to remember.”
“I don’t think my sister or anypony else would actually hurt us. We just have to be all sneaky like in those dumb spy movies Scootaloo likes so much!” Sweetie chimed, she thanked Moonshroud and led the other two fillies out of the shop and toward the castle. After a short trot they were back at Twilight’s Castle, she went to push the front door when Apple Bloom stopped her. “What’s the matter Apple Bloom?”
“We can’t just go in the front door!” Apple Bloom scolded. “Didn’t you learn anything from Scootaloo’s spy movies?”
“They aren’t dumb!” Scootaloo complained, “You girls just can’t appreciate a good action movie.”
“Ah didn’t say they were.” The yellow earthpony retorted. “Sounds like you’re in denial.”
“We don’t have time for this!” Sweetie Belle said, pushing the door open. “We just gotta go in and help them!” She raced into the castle, hoping the others would follow behind her.
They raced down the hallway to the map room, finding Diamond Tiara yelling at Twilight. “What do you mean you can’t find them?! You’re the most magical pony ever!”
Twilight shrunk in disappointment, “Removing my bedroom from our reality takes a lot out of a pony. I don’t have enough magic in my reserves left to track anypony let alone capture them.” She sighed tiredly, her eyes drooping shut for a moment.
“Useless! Finish cleaning Rarity at least, I want her to make a mess all over your face.” The pink filly demanded, growing bored of watching Applejack and Rainbow Dash serve each other tea. “And you two, you’re not pretty enough! Put on more makeup.”
The doors to the map room swung open, the Cutie Mark Crusaders storming into the room. “Rarity, I need you to listen to me. Deep down you know this is wrong, that you shouldn’t let some spoiled filly order you around like this!”
While Sweetie appealed to Rarity, Apple Bloom tried to free Applejack. “Applejack! You know you have to fight this! You’re stronger than Diamond Tiara’s magic! You’re the best and we need you.”
“Rainbow, I...” Scootaloo paused, she realized she didn’t know what to say to Dash, “Rainbow you have to go back to normal! Uh... This isn’t right!” She tried, to no avail. “D-Dash, remember when we were at the falls and you saved me from the river, and you promised me you’d be my big sister and I could always come to you if I needed you... I need you now Rainbow Dash! I need my big sister!”
Diamond Tiara who was growing furious at this interruption waved her bracelet. “Don’t just stand there! Capture them and take them to the dungeon!”
Twilight got up from between Rarity’s hind legs and stared the filly down. “Do you want them diapered like Silver Spoon?” She asked walking toward Sweetie Belle first, she stood in front of the filly her horn starting to glow for a moment, only to dissipate a moment later.
As Twilight spoke, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie started to walk towards Apple Bloom and Scootaloo.
“Twilight, this isn’t you! You know this is wrong! You’ve got to use your magic and stop this, you can do it, you’ve taught me so much since we started Twilight time, I can’t let you forget that!”
“Fluttershy, Remember when we slept over and you had to save us from the Cockitrice? You saved us and now I want to save you, Fluttershy this isn’t you, look inside yourself, I know you can.”
“Pinkie Pie, you saved us all from Parasprites, everypony needs you to make them smile, you can’t do that right now, not like this. Bring back the Pinkie Pie everypony loves! Make the town happy again, we need you!”
Diamond Tiara shouted again, this time her words fell on deaf ears as the six ponies in the room turned to face her, although the bracelet was lit and it’s magic was filling the room it was having no effect on them. A light started to emanate from each of the six ponies respective to their element’s colour.
As the light surrounded the six ponies several waves of light shot out in every direction, their elements forming in the magical glow as a rainbow shot towards the bracelet on Diamond Tiara’s hoof, in what was a brilliant red glow and a small explosion, the bracelet shattered into a thousand pieces as the room filled with smoke.
“No!” Diamond Tiara screamed in defeat, “I just…” Her eyes welled up with tears, “I just wanted everypony to like me again!” She stamped a hoof in a spoiled foalish manner. “You took away all my friends.”
Twilight stood over the filly, slowly she pulled her into a hug. “All this over a friendship problem? If you wanted to have your own ‘Twilight Time’ all you had to do was ask me.” She explained wiping the filly’s tears away. “What you did was awful, and you owe everypony here an apology. Several apologies.”
The pink filly sniffled and nodded. “I’m sorry everypony. I don’t know what came over me. All I wanted was to be the popular filly again.” ‘If I keep laying it on this thick I can totally get away with all of this!’
Applejack rolled her eyes, “Ah know a liar when I see one. Ya might be sorry now but you’re gonna be even more sorry when ah tell your father what’cha did.” She blushed realizing she was still wearing the pink frilly dress. “Ah can’t even take myself seriously wearing this thing, ah don’t know how you manage to Rarity.” The farmpony slipped off the dress and neatly folded it.
Rarity blushed, she was laying on an open wet diaper that had been untaped by Twilight, her nether regions having just been ‘serviced’ by her as well. “I, uhm, We’ll never talk of what happened here again! Just that this young filly is going to get the punishment of a lifetime when I get through talking to her parents!”
“I think it’s fun!” Pinkie Pie said, still jumping around in her soiled diaper.
“I, um, think you should change, Pinkie Pie.” Fluttershy said as she removed the collar from around her neck. “I’m sorry about your lawn... Twilight.”
“It’s okay Fluttershy, I’ll clean it up after I’ve had a nap.” Dash said, still clad in her dress and makeup. She looked down to her flank. “Um, My cutiemark is still different?”
“Oh, don’t worry it’s just a glamour spell. It’ll wear off in a few hours, thankfully Diamond didn’t know about Starswirl’s spell. That would have been a disaster.” Twilight said looking over her maid attire, realizing she had ‘serviced’ Rarity, the faint smell of urine lingering in the room. “I’ll um… Clean up the diapers.”
“Hours? I guess I’ll have to hide in the castle until then... Um, Twi, Spike let us in, where is he now?” Dash asked, looking around the room.
Twilight’s face went flat. “Oh Celestia...” She mumbled before lighting up her horn, a magical portal opened in the floor before Spike was levitated out of it, several tentacles were wrapped around his legs trying to pull him back down before they were pulled back into the closing portal. “That dimension isn’t any place for a Baby dragon! I’m so sorry Spike! I didn’t know I could send other ponies there!” She said with a deep blush.
Spike had a horrified look on his face. “T-tentacles... everywhere! I-in places I didn’t know I had... I won’t be able to sit right ever again!” He managed through his ‘horror.’ “I don’t think I can ever look at my comic books again!”
“What about Silver?” Diamond asked, realizing she had made Twilight lock up her friend. “Where did you put her?”
As if on cue, the grey filly trotted into the room, a thick diaper wrapped around her flanks. “I’m right here, Diamond. Can somepony help me out of this thing?”
“Sorry, but they’re enchanted… I can’t take it off unless it’s full.” Twilight said blushing.
Silverspoon frowned and blushed a deep red. “You so owe me Diamond Tiara.”
THE END!
