Prologue - Yosh Meets Dark Light and Larimar

The town of Canine Crossroads had all gone to bed when their newest mayor, Yosh, slipped out of his house to do some ‘blind exploration’.
“Isabelle is a great help,” he whispered while taking his first step out onto the stone-covered path. “However I really do need to see for myself if I can get around without everyone helping me all of the time.”

The diaper-clad dragon-duck unfurled his white cane and positioned it in front of his left foot before taking a step forward with his right. The tapping sound it made seemed to echo all around.

“Hmm,” he thought. “Maybe I should try to be a bit more gentle with this as I explore town?”

Yosh had lost his sight a little over a year ago. During this time he had been receiving counseling from Princess Luna and the therapist pony, Doodle Noodle. His friends, Spike and Twilight Sparkle, did everything they could to provide tools to help him adjust to the change. He also had support from the Unicorn he was paired to assist, Dawnbreak Horizon.

“Oh!” he gasped softly while reaching into the satchel he had slung over his right shoulder and had resting against his left side. “Might help if I use that magical detection tool Dawnbreak and Twilight made for me.”

Yosh gingerly fished out a hat that had two small, jewel-tipped flaps that rested just above his ears.

“Now I just attach this eraser-tip like thing to the top of my cane,” he whispered as he took the hollowed-out jewel and snapped it into place atop his cane.

“Magic eye activated,” a female voice spoke through the jeweled-flaps of Yosh’s hat. “Tap the top of your cane three times to hear your location.”

Yosh smiled.
“Away we go,” he said while using his cane to safely travel to the end of the stone path and out towards the barren streets of Canine Crossroads.

***

“…Heading south on Mallard Bottom Road,” the voice said through the ear flaps.

“Hmm,” pondered Yosh. He knew he shouldn’t be out too much longer as he was just starting to finally gain control of his bladder. Since hatching he had needed diapers for his condition but he never felt he had much control over it until Isabelle, the town representative, started to work with him on how to be a better mayor. Going blind definitely was not what Yosh ever wanted to have happen to him. However it did give him a great sense of determination to gain control of as much as he could in his life. His bladder included.

SNAP

The dragon-duck was startled by the sound of a twig being broken off in the distance.

“Okay, Lari,” a male voice called. “We really need to get back to bed.”

“Gabah!” another voice spat.

Yosh thought for a moment.
“Well,” he reasoned. “It’s not Isabelle. It’s also not anyone I recognize either.”

“Lari!” the voice called in a low worried tone. “Get back here!”

“Pfft-bah!” gurgled the babyish voice as it drew closer to where Yosh was standing.

PIT-PAT

“Gyoo!” the tiny voice called as it stepped out from the trees and emerged on the street.

Yosh only knew something was close. Perhaps this getting out and doing things by himself was a bad idea? Though Isabelle assured him everyone in Canine Crossroads was friendly and, since he was their mayor, nobody would do anything mean to him.

“Lari!” called the concerned male upon emerging and gently allowing his hooves to tap upon the cobblestone road.

“Uh…,” stiffened Yosh as he moved his cane to his left hand and waved in the direction of the voice and footsteps with his right. “Hello…?”

There was an awkward pause that was only broken by baby babble and the sound of a rustling diaper as it grew closer to Yosh.

“Eep!” the dragon-duck yelped as he felt scaly arms wrap around his torso and nuzzle into his scales.

“It’s not what you think,” the male voice insisted. “I’m new around here and got a little lost with my baby dragon.”

Yosh felt some drool fall on his side as he looked in the direction of the approaching stallion.
“Wait,” he thought aloud. “You’re the new pony who moved in just the other day?”

The colt gasped. He had forgotten to put up all of his protection spells to hide his identity as both a youth and Unicorn. Worse was how he, too, was wearing a diaper that, for him, was needed do to bedwetting incidents that had recently fallen upon him.
“Uh…,” he started to say while preparing to use his magic on the dragon-duck. However he noticed something ‘different’ about the potential threat that was now being snuggled-up by Lari. This being how ‘blank’ Yosh’s eyes appeared. They weren’t directly facing him.

Yosh allowed his senses to take in the cooing-cuddler alongside him. He definitely wasn’t pudgy, like he was. He also seemed smaller than he was, too. Given the babble and the crinkling sound that went with each of Lari’s movements made him to come to a conclusion.
“Are you another of Celestia’s Chosen?” asked Yosh.

Dark Light realized now that the dragon-duck was blind. The diapered, bird-like creature was not making precise eye contact. His secret was safe.
“Can’t say I am,” the colt replied. “I’m just out getting some fresh air. Larimar here wasn’t resting well so I thought a walk out may help him sleep better.

Yosh felt a bit excited about having met another pony who had befriended a dragon. He and Spike were hatched through magic by Dawnbreak Horizon and twilight Sparkle before spending their baby years under the close care of Princess Celestia herself. However another friend, Tacki, was discovered by an Earth Pony named Lucky Find. There was also the discovery of Toroth by a Pegasus that had landed inside The Dragon lands. So another pony finding a dragon was certainly not out of the question. It just made him feel less alone.
“Are you an Earth Pony?” he asked curiously. “Or are you a Unicorn?”

Dark Light looked around before evoking his spell to hide his horn while also conjuring up a set of ethereal wings.
“I’m a Pegasus,” he replied while keeping a very close eye on Yosh’s reaction.

“Pleasure to meet you,” grinned Yosh as he outstretched his right hand towards where he felt Dark Light was standing. “Welcome to Canine Crossroads!”

The false Pegasus nodded before realizing his nod was going unseen.
“That’s right,” he replied as he placed his hoof upon Yosh’s hand. “I just moved in outside of town and hoping to be a productive part of the community.”

Yosh worked to move closer to Dark Light while holding onto the baby dragon’s claw.
“And this must be Larimar?” the dragon-duck inquired. “He’s lucky because he has wings.”

“Yep!” agreed the colt. “And he needs his rest.”

“I understand,” yawned Yosh at the thought. “I should be getting back to my house, too. Isabelle has another big day of activities planned for me to help make this town be a super place to live.”

Dark Light swore he could hear someone else coming.
“Well,” he stated. “See you around.”

Yosh raised his hand and waved in the direction he heard the rustling of leaves.
“I look forward to getting to know you better!” he called out. It was at this point that Yosh realized he had wet himself due to failing to get back sooner. “Ugh… I’ll get this! No more diapers for ducky!”

***

Yosh used his magical tools to navigate safely back home, clean up, and get more rest before starting another day as the unofficial mayor of Canine Crossroads. Isabelle did all the real work but she said having Yosh as the ‘mayor’ was good for town public relations. Plus she didn’t particularly like being in the spotlight where Yosh had no trouble addressing the public. He also was getting help to no longer need to wear diapers which, to him, meant he would appear to be a far more respectable ‘mayor’ than he currently felt himself to be.

***

Larimar and Dark Light returned to their modest home just outside of Canine Crossroads. The colt was eager to use his magical artifacts to create a Circle Of Protection around their home so he could return to his normal form as he got his little dragon tucked back into bed.
“I think we’ll stay here for awhile,” Dark Light stated as he tucked lari into his basinet.

“Gabah!” chirped the teal-green dragon.

“Right,” nodded the colt. “That dragon-duck is definitely nice. I’ll have to go meet him tomorrow while I’m out shopping for supplies.”

“Ee-oo?” Lari grinned.

“Yes,” sighed Dark Light. “And get us more diapers.”

Chapter 1 - Weirdos In The Woods

Nish Pony and Quacky Pants were off exploring the outskirts of Equestria together.
"Beats Manehattan," stated the orange Unicorn as he used his magic to tip his rose-colored glasses.

Quacky Pants blushed.
"I like it when we are alone and free to be how we want to be," the green Earth Pony replied.

Nish slowed his pace to pat upon the baby-blue crinkly garment around his colleagues flank.
"My little foal feel all safe in the big scary woods?" he teased. "Wearing his security diapers to not feel all afraid of the big bad monsters."

Quacky gave a little squeak as he felt his friend's magic tug at the bottom of his diaper to reveal what made him a colt.
"Nish...," he trailed nervously. "What if some pony notices?"

"No shame in being teenie in the peenie," grinned the blonde Unicorn. "Besides there's no pony here but us and..."

SHINK

"Nish used his magic to draw Quacky towards him before blowing gently into his ear.

"Eep!" the red-maned Earth Pony squirmed as his blue eyes grew wide as saucers.

"Nish...," flustered Quacky. "You know that makes me feel funny."

The orange Unicorn grinned as he used his magic once more to open the front of his friend's diaper. This time he noticed there was a bit more stallion to the parts that made his friend a colt.
"I think some pony likes it," he teased. "Maybe this would be a good place for our special photo shoot?"

Quacky tried to calm himself as his friend drew a red cape from his large saddlebag.
"Here...?" Quacky gulped.

Using more magic the pierced Unicorn removed his camera, a frilly-pink heart-printed diaper cover and a grey wolf costume.
"Why not?" grinned the sassy photographer. "We're deep in the woods outside of Equestria and we have all sorts of fun costumes to play around in for our 'Fairy Tale Foreplay Calendar'."

Quacky felt the Unicorn's magic strip him of the blue vest he was wearing as he was dressed in the Red Riding Hood attire.
"Nish...," he blushed as he used his tail to try and cover his girly diaper cover.

Nish finished putting himself into his grey wolf costume.
"This is a perfect time," he cooed while using his magic to set up his camera. "I like when I can get you to look so naturally bashful."

"Ga-ga-golly," stammered the green Earth Pony.

"That's my foal," stated Nish before pouncing upon his friend.

BOOP

"Hold that pose," said Nish as he felt the tent in Quacky's diaper reaching to meet the one in his wolf costume. He then touched his nose to Quacky's nose before snapping their first shot.

"Oh, my...," gasped Quacky. "Are you sure about this, Nish?"

"It's why you're my number one model," assured the orange Unicorn. "Now just keep acting adorable as I get a few more shots for our Spring months section.

RUSTLE

Nish continued to manipulate Quacky until the green Earth Pony grew a most awe-struck expression.
"Did some foal make grown-up juice in his diapers?" he asked while sliding a hoof down to check if his stallion was becoming a colt down under.

"No," replied Quacky. "I think I heard some pony moving in the bushes over there."

"Larimar!" a voice called in the distance. "Hide and seek is over! Time to take your nap!"

Both Nish and Quacky looked in the direction of the voice as a teal baby dragon came bounding out from the bushes.

"Gaba!" the hatchling cheered upon coming upon the pair.

"Larimar!" bellowed the voice until it came through the brush to reveal itself to be a black Pegasus with the scales of justice for a Cutie Mark. "Oh!"

"Yipes!" meeped Quacky as he covered his eyes with his hooves.

"Oh," Nish said modestly as he took to his feet. "Didn't know this neck of the woods was occupied."

The Pegasus eyed the strangers carefully.
"What are you doing here?" he asked with growing concern upon spotting the camera. "What's that for?"

"Oh," laughed Nish as he removed his wolf costume. "Just out making some magics with my friend here."

"Magic?" panicked the Pegasus. "Are you from canterlot?"

"From time-to-time," replied the pierced pony as he worked to magically pack up his things. "My colleague and I tend to go where we feel inspired to do our work."

The black Pegasus glared towards the pair but felt pacified by how the baby dragon, Larimar, appeared taken by the green Earth Pony mare dressed in diapers.
"Larimar seems taken by your girlfriend," he stated cautiously.

"No surprise," agreed Nish. "My baby definitely is good with babies."

The dark Pegasus looked about the forest nervously.
"Are you the only two out here?" he asked.

"As far as I know," Nish replied with a wink.

"Well," the Pegasus said. "Larimar needs his nap and he won't go home unless you two come with me."

"So you're inviting us to your place?" Nish inquired.

"Yeah...," thought the black Pegasus. "I just need to make sure Larimar is safe."

Nish turned to see Quacky trying to not get baby dragon slobber all over his face.
"We accept," he said. "I think someone else may need a nap, too."

"Then follow me," the Pegasus said. "Come, Larimar!"

"Yeeee!" cheered the diaper-clad hatchling as he latched around Quacky's hind leg and nuzzled.

"Come, cutie," said Nish as he used his magic to help his friend up. "The baby needs his nap."

Quacky, still feeling quite embarrassed, said nothing as he trotted along with the eggshell-hat hat wearing dragon clung to his crinkly backside.

Chapter 2 - Home Invasion

The Pegasus, who revealed his name to be Dark Light, brought Quacky and Nish Pony to his home that he had built on the outskirts of the thriving town of canine Crossroads.
"Come on in," gestured the black Pegasus as he ushered the guests inward.

"Nice place," remarked Nish as he trotted about to take in the place. "Mind if I go upstairs and check out the view?"

PFEW

"Huh?" the pierced-pony wondered as he felt a force stop him in his tracks for the briefest of moments.

"Uh...," gasped the Pegasus with the yellow mane. "I apologize for the sticky floors. Larimar can be, well, ask your friend..."

Quacky appeared very nervous as the teal-colored dragon had made himself cozy beneath the red riding hood cloak as he drooled onto his diaper cover.

"She's fine with it," remarked Nish. "Actually..."

Nish quickly got out his camera through use of his magic.

"Photo op!" he gleed while adjusting the focus along with his rose-tinted glasses.

CLICK-CLICK

"Huh?" baffled the orange Unicorn as the camera wouldn't snap a single shot. "I just had this serviced and it was working back in the forest..."

"It happens," shrugged Dark Light. "Would you two like a drink?"

"Only if you put Quacky's in a bottle," teased Nish. "Wouldn't want to make Larimar jealous."

Quacky was too embarrassed to respond as he felt additional warmth upon his back from where the baby dragon's diaper rested.

"Of course," backed the black Pegasus as he slipped away to the kitchen.

***

"There's no way," panicked Dark Light as he slowly went about getting beverages for everyone. "But why else would two ponies be all the way out here and acting so strange?"

PFEW

Bottles, cups, and other items started to levitate about the kitchen.
"That Nish Pony has to be working for S.M.I.L.E.," he continued as his own Unicorn magic went to work. "He's an awkward one but those are the types who make perfect S.M.I.L.E. agents."

Dark Light continued to go about his work as quickly as possible but not so fast that he'd give himself away to be a Unicorn. The Pegasus wings he had were a total illusion, but a slightly functional one. He had hoped to rid himself of the life he had run from in Canterlot. However had it now appeared that it found him as a result of Isabelle and Yosh making Canine Crossroads a hot spot for pony tourists.
"Don't allow yourself to get too paranoid," he self-assured himself. "Maybe they are just two eccentric ponies who take silly pictures in odd places for a hobby?"

The more he considered Nish and Quacky the more he couldn't believe they just happened to be out in the woods playing dress-up for the camera.
"Okay," he told himself as he put two bottles of milk and two glasses of cider upon a tray to hold in his hoof. "Get Larimar safe and show these two the door."

***

Quacky was frozen in place as Dark Light returned.
"Uh...," he trailed. "Thanks for, uh, inviting us over."

The black Pegasus couldn't see Nish anywhere.
"Where's your friend?" he panicked. "And why do you sound like a stallion?"

Quacky gasped as he felt himself have a little accident in his diapers.
"Oh...," he replied while remaining still enough to not disrupt the sleeping dragon on his back. "Nish just, uh, well..."

Dark Light's fears were starting to become more confirmed in his mind. He had brought two S.M.I.L.E. agents into his home and they were now working to bring him back to Canterlot for his crimes.
"What to do?" he thought to himself with worry. "This one seems unable to keep up an act while the other is too random to not be putting up an act."

CLIP-CLOP

Dark Light looked to the stairs to see Nish gleefully prancing down.
"Oh," he said casually. "Didn't expect you back so soon and thought I'd take a little peak out your windows."

"I told him not to," added Quacky as he stood in his moistened outfit. "However I was afraid to move because Larimar seems too comfortable.

Dark Light was on the verge of letting down his disguise so he could bring about the full fury of his magic upon the pair. However Larimar was cuddled into Quacky and he knew he couldn't take any chances of hurting his one true friend.

"Are you a voyeur, too?" grinned Nish as he nudged the faux Pegasus. "You've got quite the view of town from up there."

"A what?" asked Dark Light.

"A voyear," replied Nish. "Some pony who likes to play their own game of 'I Spy With My Little Eye'?"

Dark Light was aghast.
"You think I'm a peeping pony?" he inquired.

"If the horseshoe fits," winked Nish as he lowered his rose-colored glasses.

"I'm sorry," said Quacky. "I think Larimar needs a change."

PFEW

Quacky blushed so deep that his cheeks matched his mane color as Nish used his magic to pull down the front of his diaper.
"It seems you do, too," he teased . "Good thing Larimar's room is big enough for big baby ponies."

Dark Light really had to fight himself from casting a spell.
"He's snooping in our rooms?" he worried to himself. "This Nish is definitely not one to pull punches."

"I know," suggested Nish. "I'll change mine while you change yours?"

PFEW

Nish used his magic to cast a securing spell on Larimar.

"Ah!" gasped Dark Light as his ethereal wings spread wide.

"A simple holding spell," assured Nish. "This way Quacky Wet Pants can get upstairs without waking your little dragon." Nish punctuated the end of his remark with a cheeky grin and nod of his head.

The black Unicorn in disguise was at a total loss.
"Alright...," he trailed. "You go first."

"Oh, no," giggled Nish as he went to pat his pal on his crinkly backside. "Quacky goes first. Wouldn't want to miss the view."

"Nish!" squeaked Quacky as he felt even more pee escape into his padding.

"Don't be so bashful," added the pierced Unicorn. "You're a model and models are meant to be eyed up by others."

"Fine," said Dark Light. "Let's just go get this done."

"You heard the pony," Nish stated while rubbing his hoof against Quacky's padded posterior. "Get a move on so we can get you foals cleaned up."

Quacky said nothing as he waddled towards the stairs towards the second floor.

"What am I going to do?" zoned Dark Light as he followed the pair up the stairs.

Nish swayed his backside and flicked his tail.
"Want to take a picture?" he suggested playfully when the black Pegasus bumped into his rump. "It really does last longer and I take the best in all Equestria."

Dark Light blushed but not enough to keep his focus off the task of getting Larimar away from the pair and banishing them.
"This orange one is a master," he thought as he worked to keep his emotions in check. "But I'm better."

Chapter 3 - Times Of Changing

FWIP-FWOOM-CRINKLE

"Eep!" squeaked Quacky as he was stripped down to nothing more than his soaked diaper.

Nish cooed as he took pride in his magical handiwork.
"You look so cute all vulnerable and embarrassed like that," he said while levitating out his camera. "Photo op!"

Dark Light was in the process of changing Larimar by hoof when he heard the word 'camera' from his unwanted guest.
"Not again," he thought as he had to utilize his magic to not only hide his horn and maintain his wings but also put a stop to Nish's camera.

"Seriously?" Nish groaned. "Another great moment ruined by my camera malfunctioning?"

RIP
RIP

The black 'Pegasus' made no eye contact as he stated, "Perhaps you just need a new camera?"

"No...," considered the pierced pony. "Then again I did bring a spare."

Dark Light gasped as he barely dodged a stray spray from Larimar's exposed dragonhood.
"If not for how S.M.I.L.E. would likely send agents to find out what happened to these agents I'd eliminate these two right here-and-now!" he growled to himself. "How do I make them leave without giving myself away?"

"Oh!" giggled Nish. "Looks like someone still had some piddle left in them."

RIP-RIP
FLOP

"Nish!" Quacky squeaked as he tried to cover his privates.

"No little squirts?" teased the orange Unicorn. "Looks like Larimar now has two things on you."

Quacky dared to roll his head over to see the partially changed baby dragon.
"two things?" he inquired.

"Oh, Quacky," cooed Nish as he wiped up his friend with his magic. "Size doesn't matter that much. so what if a baby dragon has bigger bits than you."

Larimar gurgled as he wiggled playfully on the floor of his nursery.
"Magic-ma!" he squealed. "Dada magi-ma!"

Dark Light normally used his Unicorn magic to change his baby dragon's diapers. However he had to keep up his disguise for the S.M.I.L.E. agents. Larimar, unfortunately, had no idea the gravity of the situation and was now asking for him to do all the fun tricks he normally did to make the diaper change more enjoyable.
"Not good," he said as he looked frightfully towards the unwanted guests. "And wasn't the green one supposed to be a mare?"

"Ni-ni-shh," giggled Quacky as his colleague playfully rubbed rash cream between his thighs, under his pouch, and around his shaft.

"Good news," gleed the Unicorn. "I think it is growing to be as big as Larimar's now."

"Who is this pony?" baffled Dark Light as he did his best to finish the diaper change of his baby dragon with his hooves.

"Looks like you're having some trouble there," remarked Nish as he lit his horn to hold the teal dragon in place with his legs to the air. "Mind if I help?"

Dark Light was seeing red.
"You harm a single scale on his body!" he growled to himself. "I'll torch you to ribbons!"

"Why the stink eye?" asked Nish. "Isn't part of friendship being helpful?"

"WE'RE NOT FRIENDS!" snapped Dark Light.

Nish released his magical hold.
"We're not?" he questioned. "then why did you invite us in and let us feel at home in your house?"

Larimar began to wail loudly after his caretaker's outburst.

"Shh," assured Quacky as he went to comfort the baby dragon. "Everything's okay."

Dark Light glared towards Nish and then towards Quacky before returning his stern gaze towards Nish.

"Quacky is good with babies," assured Nish with a wave of his hoof. "Though I think we should leave our babies and have some grown-up talk in your room."

Dark Light looked again to Quacky before facing Nish.
"This could work to my favor," he considered while working hard to keep his emotions from making him lose what focus he needed to keep up his disguise. "This Quacky seems fairly docile and would be no trouble to take care of once I handled this one."

Nish used his magic to quickly diaper up Quacky.
"Why don't you finish cleaning up Larimar and get yourselves both in your pajamas," he stated. "Perhaps you both can take a nap while the adults are talking?"

Quacky had managed to successfully calm Larimar and even had the tyke diapered back up.
"Fine by me, Nish," beamed the green stallion as he tickled Larimar's pastel-yellow colored belly. "I've got things here."

"To your room, then?" gestured Nish as he headed out of the nursery ahead of dark Light.

The faux Pegasus looked back to see Larimar in pure joy with the odd Earth Pony.
"It's okay," assured quacky. "My special talent is caring for little ones."

Dark Light thought on how he noticed a large duckling on the flanks of this blue-eyed pony. Perhaps his simple-minded nature is what made him a perfect match with the lead agent? The green one being so kind, naive, and guilable that he could pull off just about anything? He certainly was a great distraction and the fact that Larimar was now climbing all around the diaper-clad stallion meant he really had no choice but to follow Nish into his room.
"Wait...," he considered as his eyes went wide. "My room!"

Quacky delighted in getting Larimar into his pajamas as the frightened fugitive darted after Nish in hopes of not being exposed more than he may already have been.

Chapter 4 - Secret's Out?

Dark Light's room was free of windows and filled with books.

"Read much?" asked Nish.

The black-coated 'Pegasus' felt a lump in his throat as he recalled the content of the books.
"These books are all on magic use," he worried. "How will I answer if-"

FWOO
SLIDE

Nish levitated a book from the shelf that was titled 'Mastering Illusion'.
"Interesting...," he considered aloud. "I'm a naturalist myself but some of these spells in here could really help in a pinch."

Dark Light had to think fast.
"I've just always been curious about Unicorn magic," he firmly stated.

The tone of Dark Light's voice caused the room to grow silent.

FWOO
CA-CLICK

"What?" the 'Pegasus' asked angrily after Nish used his magic to close and lock the bedroom door. "What is the meaning of this?"

"Shh," soothed the pierced pony while slowly making his way to Dark Light's bed. "I think some pony needs to get something off his chest."

Dark Light's temper flared as he watched the pierced pony sit his rump upon his bed.
"ENOUGH!" he boomed while stomping his hoof firmly upon the floor. "You and your sissy friend need to leave right this minute!"

Nish simply nodded his head and magically moved his rose-tinted glasses from his muzzel to a nearby nightstand.
"You can't hide from the truth forever," the orange Unicorn said simply. "It'll only make things worse for you later."

Dark Light's emotional control was fading fast. He wouldn't be able to keep up his disguise much longer.
"I'll just have to take my chances," he thought while looking into Nish's eyes. "I can take him. I've taken on royal guards and won and that was even before I gained all this wisdom from my travels to canine Crossroads."

"I'm waiting," coached Nish while patting an open space on the bed. "I can tell you a secret if it would make you more comfortable in sharing yours."

Dark Light was surprised by this statement.
"Yeah," he gulped . "Tell me your 'secret'."

"My real name's not Nish Pony," the orange Unicorn replied while maintaining eye contact. "It's Tiny Trunks."

Dark Light found his eyes gazing towards Nish's flank where he came upon the Cutie Mark of an elephant head with a short trunk.
"How is that a secret?" he pressed. "Your Cutie Mark pretty much gives it all away."

"Because," grinned Nish. "I like to see teenie-weenie-peenies."

The faux Pegasus found himself blushing as his body immediately went into a posture to hide his stallion parts.
"What?" he questioned with bewilderment. "Who goes around admitting to such things?"

"Quacky and I," replied Nish. "Our Cutie Marks kind of are a bit off the mark about what makes us special."

"How's that?" inquired Dark Light.

"I'm quite perceptive," added the pierced Unicorn as he lit his horn and magically brought out a plastic package from Dark Light's closet. "You're a piddle pants, too."

Dark Light's black face was crimson in color.
"I... I... I wet the bed," he groaned. "And why are you nosing around my room? You have no right to be doing this."

"Sorry," Nish shrugged while setting the pack of diapers upon the bed. "However the 'fun prints' on these seem to be a bit much for a bed wetter."

"Fine!" Dark Light snapped. "I, uh, may like to wear diapers. I mean, well, if you had bladder issues wouldn't you want to not feel so awful about it?"

"And that's Quacky's lil' secret," added Nish. "He's wonderful in caring for water fowl and actually has a pretty nice place between Canterlot and Ponyville. However he really likes to be cared for as much as he cares for his lil' duckies."

Dark Light felt his guard go down a bit.
"Okay...," he said. "So you two are strange and, uh, I'm weird, too."

"But there's more for you?" suggested Nish. "Now you can tell me or I'll just say it myself."

Dark Light knew this was it. The moment this Unicorn stated he was a wanted fugitive and was going to be taken in was when he'd hit him with the paralysis spell, bucked him in the head, and did the same to Quacky before hauling the pair out in the woods.
"Tell me," he encouraged while narrowing his eyes.

Nish nodded.
"You're a Trans-Pony," he replied.

"What?" gasped the 'Pegasus'.

"No shame," assured Nish. "You're a Pegasus who wants to be a Unicorn. You're honestly not the first pony I've met who wishes they were one, the other, or alll three."

Dark Light was speechless.

"Thought so," grinned the orange Unicorn as he got off the bed, trotted towards Dark Light, and rubbed his back. "Just know you can talk about it without feeling shame. We like what we like and it's all okay as long as we don't hurt any pony through our actions."

"Who is this pony?" thought Dark Light. "Is he trying to trip me up with this banter? Is this how S.M.I.L.E. operates? Mind games?"

"You seem tense," noted Nish as he brought one of the diapers over towards the pair. "Maybe some foal time will help you feel better? I'm sure Larimar loves being little with his dada."

"...," Dark Light gaped.

PSHOO
WHOOSH
PLOP

"Legs up!" mothered Nish as he started the diapering process. "Ooh! You're a 'big boy', too!"

Dark Light went to cover his privates but Nish had the diaper already well put into place before he could react.

"We'll get some powder on you when we get back into your nursery," grinned Nish as he levitated his rose-tinted glasses back upon his face. "Maybe you have another set of trap door pajamas and I can read you, Quacky, and Larimar a bedtime story."

"Wait!" cried Dark Light. "Stop!"

Nish used his magic to bring the faux Pegasus to his feet.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," he corrected while shaking his head. "If you're like quacky you'll feel so much better after your nap."

CREEEK

"Okay crinkle-butt," teased Nish as he went behind Dark Light and patted him on the back of his diaper. "Let's go nappy-time!"

"What to do?" the faux Pegasus asked as he felt the orange Unicorn poke at his diaper anytime he'd slow his movements towards the nursery. "Is this it? Or are these guys seriously just two odd balls with no affiliation with S.M.I.L.E.?"

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.

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.”
