To Keep A Secret

CA-CLICK
CREEK

Nish lit his horn as to not bring too much light into the nursery. He was pretty certain that, upon helping little Larimar, Quacky would have gone to snuggle in the crib.
“Shh,” shushed the orange Unicorn. “The babies are asleep.”

“Huh?” wondered Dark Light as he slowly trotted inward. Sure enough the lights, except for the night light, were all out and Quacky had managed to crawl himself into Larimar’s crib.

“Aren’t they just too cute,” cooed Nish. “I’d take a picture if the light wouldn’t wake those two up.”

Dark Light thought on how Quacky looked. He had Larimar snuggled up like a plush toy as the teal baby dragon rested his head in such a way that he could hear the odd Earth Pony’s heart beat.
“I’ve never felt more vulnerable, or bewildered, in my entire life,” he thought. “Do I just keep playing it cool? Is it too late? Is this the end game for me before I’m taking back to Canterlot and put on trial for my crimes?”

TAP-TAP

The faux Pegasus turned around as he nearly dropped his disguise to initiate a magical attack on Nish.

“Why so tense?” the pierced pony asked. “I thought you adult foals felt better in your diapers?”

“what?” wondered Dark Light as he remained posed with his tail and backside in the air ready to pounce at the drop of a hat.

“Oh…,” blushed Nish. “You are one of those who like to make messes in your diapers? Don’t mind me but know I don’t change dirty diapers on grown ponies.”

Dark Light’s mouth fell agape as his mind realized how his pre-attack posture looked much like a small foal would as they worked to fill their diapers. He even noticed he had let out a few grunts that, to any other pony, would come off as threatening. However his current state just made it seem like he was having a hard time getting his business done in his padding.
“It’s not-” he tried to say.

Nish turned for the door.
“-How’s about I let you all foal out and check on you in a bit?” the photographer interrupted. “You foals do your foal things and I’ll come back up after making us all dinner.”

“But-”Dark Light tried to protest.

CA-CLICK

The black-coated Pegasus fell to the floor and sighed in defeat.
“This has got to stop,” he said. “I don’t want to do it but I’ll cast a spell of deep sleep on Larimar so he doesn’t see me eliminate both of these intruders before magically brainwashing them to remember absolutely nothing beyond their little display in the woods.”

Dark Light reached into a ‘secret drawer’ hidden in the wall of Larimar’s nursery and removed a package of adult-sized diapers along with foal powder.
“Or…,” he trailed sadistically. “I’ll eliminate the two and show how diapers can absorb more than just bodily waste.”

***

Time passed and Dark Light waited… and waited… and waited.

YAWN

The smell of foal powder, the gentle glow of the night light, and the sight of Quacky Pants snuggling Larimar so comfortably all worked to lull the upset black pony into a daze.
“Where… is he?” pondered the drowsy pony. “He’s been gone for hours…”

Dark Light felt his eyes begin to droop. He would have just left the room if he didn’t keep thinking Nish was just on the other side waiting to finish what he had been sent to start. However the orange Unicorn never returned.
“Wha…?” perked Dark Light as he started to wet his diaper. “Not now… I only do this when I’m sleeping… Why…?”

All the mental taxation the faux pegasus had done worked to tire him completely out. It was now a struggle to keep awake as he finished wetting his diaper and found himself cuddling against a large plush bean bag chair in the room.
“Sorry…., Larimar…” he mumbled as he fell unconcious.

***

POKE-POKE

“Dada?” a high-pitched voice called. “Uppy-up, dada!”

Dark Light’s eyes began to flutter open as the smell of stale urine filled his nostrils.
“La… Larimar?” he asked.

The teal baby dragon grew a wide smile as he flapped his arms and tiny feathery wings with joy.
“Dada!” he cheered as he jumped on top of Dark Light’s wingless back.

The pretend Pegasus grew a horrified look as he realized he was now without wings. Falling asleep made him lose concentration on his magical ruse and his true Unicorn self was now on full display.
“LARIMAR!” he cried with great worry as he used his magic to levitate the hatchling upon his back while he quickly got to his hooves and scanned the room. “Hold on tight!”

***

Both Dark Light and Larimar were soaked as they went about their home in search of Nish and Quacky. However there was no sign of either.

“Ucky,” pouted Larimar as his wet diaper had grown cold, clammy, and downright uncomfortable. “Dipper, dada! Dipper!”

Dark Light knew any longer without a change would cause not only his hatchling a rash but himself as well.
“Okay,” he said. “But keep your eyes peeled, Lari!”

The yellow-bellied dragon allowed his purple eyes to go wide as he gurgled playfully.

***

Dark Light returned to larimar’s room and approached his changing table.
“Huh?” he wondered upon seeing a small envelope upon the changing pad. “What’s this?”

PSHEW
FWIP

“What the…,” he gasped as he saw the envelope contained pictures of Yosh and Larimar sleeping, him sleeping as he rubbed a hoof on his yellow-stained diaper, and a picture that had Quacky and Nish waving from the position of looking into the nursery.

“How…?” he panicked as a piece of paper came into view after the pictures.

“Hey, Mr. PegaCorn:

Sorry we had to leave without letting you know but, as I’m sure you’ll agree, it’s never good to wake a sleeping baby.

Anyway Quacky and I appreciate you letting us hang out at your place and promise to give a good report when we’re asked about our visit to Canine Crossroads.

Oh! I am also glad to say my camera is working again! However, as you may have seen by the photos, you can already tell that.

Well we left you some bits on the kitchen table for your kindness and are on our way to Canine Crossroads before heading to Canterlot to share all we’ve got to discover outside of Equestria!

Quacky and I both think you both are real cuties and Quacky hopes to play with you and Larimar again someday! We also hope these pictures from our visit make you smile until we are able to come back for our next ‘play date’.

Playfully Yours,

Nish Pony / Tiny Trunks”

Dark Light felt very confused by the letter.
“Perhaps they were just two weird ponies after all?” he asked as warmth spread across his back.

“Oopy,” giggled Larimar. “Dipper ‘ucky, dada.”

The Unicorn used his magic to put the pictures and note away before levitating Larimar upon the changing table to clean him off.
“Well, little guy,” he said as he worked to freshen up his young charge. “We either have new friends or new enemies. Rest assured that your dada will definitely be ready for either should they come.”
