Morning

The day seemed to run itself out after that for everypony, and soon it was time for bed. Luna’s moon was high in the sky, and the stars hung like glittering sparks in the darkness. After an eventful day, Rainbow was exhausted. Her parents got her in a nighttime diaper, gave her a pacifier, her daring do plushie, and a story, and kissed her before letting her sleep and going to bed themselves. They would need all the rest they could get because the next day was certain to be eventful for everypony.

Morning dawned with the promise of a new day, and each mother leapt from bed early, more than ready for the day ahead. They all converged into the kitchen and began preparing breakfast for their children. The smell of Prench Toast soon floated throughout the castle, and woke the sleeping mares. One by one, they followed the scent into the kitchen, and saw a feast fit for a king. They all licked their lips in anticipation.

“Good morning, Girls.” Cooed Cookie Crumbles.

“We made you breakfast.” Said Mrs. Shy.

“And we made sure to get all of your favorites.” Said Pear Butter.

The mares smiled and were about to sit down, when another voice interrupted.

“Ah Ah Ah, girls. We’re not eating here.” Said Twilight Velvet. Each mother carried their filly’s breakfast into the makeshift nursery. There, six high chairs were set up. Each mother helped their filly into the seat, and although some of them felt uncomfortable with it, they remained quiet. For Applejack there were apple pancakes with pecan syrup. For Fluttershy there were eggs, made into a delicious veggie omelet. For Rarity, it was Eggs, with a garnish, oatmeal, and toast with the finest jam there was. For Pinkie, it was Prench Toast, covered with chocolate sauce, maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, sprinkles, and a cherry. For Twilight, it was Eggs sunny side up, with bacon made into a smiley face, and a small pancake nose. And finally, for Rainbow Dash, there was Zap Apple applesauce, some mashed bananas, and some mashed strawberries.

All the girls except for Rainbow Dash began to reach for their silverware, but their mothers quickly whisked it from their grasp.

“Girls, girls, girls, babies can’t feed themselves. They need their mommies to feed them.” Said Windy, as she started feeding Rainbow Dash.

“That’s right,” Cooed Velvet as she used her magic to cut Twilight some of her egg. “Now, Twily, open up for the Canterlot Express!” She said, and started feeding her. Twilight opened up, and smiled at the familiar taste. Nothing was quite like her mother’s cooking.

Everypony else followed the instructions, and were soon in the midst of breakfast. When everypony had eaten their fill, their mothers let them out.

“Ma? I’m a might thirsty after all that. Can I have somethin’ to drink?” Asked Applejack.

“Of course you can.” Said Pear Butter. “But first we need to get you changed.”

“Wha-“ She started to ask when she realized what her mother meant. “Oh… Uh, I see.”

Pear went over to the changing table and patted it. “Hop up, little apple seed.”

Applejack hesitated for a fraction of a second, and then did as she was told. As weird as she thought this was, she reminded herself that it was for Dash, and for her Ma. Just looking at Pear Butter’s dazzling smile was all the courage she needed to go through with this. She looked up at the ceiling, ignoring what was happening below her as much as possible. She tried to convince herself that it was nothing. And in a matter of minutes, it was done, faster than Applejack thought it would be. She looked down at the embarrassing garment, and moved slightly, hearing it crinkle beneath her. Her face burned a bright red, but she was soon distracted by her mother’s loving kiss to her forehead. She caught the unmistakable scent of apple trees and fresh grass in her mane as she bent down to her. Pear Butter smiled down at her, and said,

“That’s my girl.”

As Applejack waddled away from the table, trying to get used to her new gait, Rainbow was changed next, out of a diaper that was wet from last night’s use. Windy didn’t change her immediately after she woke because it was only a little damp. Nothing that couldn’t wait. Unfortunately it was soaked by the time breakfast was over. But Windy paid no mind to it as she changed her daughter. Rainbow, for her part, seemed completely oblivious to the repeated motions as she stuck her hoof in her mouth and started suckling. She wiggled a little when the powder was added, but otherwise remained fairly still. Windy considered this the easiest change of her day. When Rainbow was tired, she didn’t move around as much during her changes. Just as she finished changing her, Windy leaned over and sniffed her daughter’s head. Once, twice, three times. Just as she always did. And she finished with a kiss to the forehead.

Pinkie bounced over to the changing table and hopped on like it was the best ride at the carnival. She was so excited to try this! She laid back, but couldn’t help wiggling. Cloudy Quartz went to her, and the usually stoic mare had a genuine smile on her face as she diapered her daughter. She felt nostalgic as she finished taping up the diaper. Pinkie enveloped her mother in a hug.

“Thanks, mom!”

“Mommy.”

“Huh?”

“It’s Mommy for Today.”

“Okay!” Pinkie replied happily. “Thanks, Mommy!”

“You’re welcome.” Cloudy kissed her on the cheek.

As Pinkie bounced off, it was Fluttershy’s turn. She blushed redder than a tomato as she flew onto the table. She found herself unable to speak up even more than usual because of the embarrassing circumstance. The color on her face was the only indicator of how she felt. But she went through with it. Who was she if she did not treat everypony with kindness? And Dashie needed her kindness and understanding right now more than she ever had before. She swallowed her pride and her decency, and let the color fade from her as she reminded herself of these things. When it was over, Her mother gave her a loving smile that reassured her that she was doing the right thing. She struggled with walking, but her mother took her by the hoof, and helped her.

Twilight was next, and she too was quite hesitant about getting on. But her mother’s smiling and nodding encouraged her. So she took a deep breath, and hopped up. Velvet sensed her daughter’s distress and rubbed her stomach with a hoof as she used her magic to diaper her.

“It’s okay, Twily.” She said. “It’s just for a day. And you’re doing something amazing for a friend. I am so proud of you.”

Twilight blushed, wether at the praise, or at the situation, she wasn’t sure. But once she was diapered, she kicked a hoof around, and took in the sensation. It would make for great research. The feeling was different, but not uncomfortable. It was cushiony, like a pillow. A puff of powder came out of her diaper, and she giggled slightly at the sight. Velvet smiled, and kissed her daughter’s nose. Twilight giggled a second, and then snapped back to reality. What was she doing? She lowered her head a bit, and stood up. The thick diaper pushed her legs apart, and made walking difficult, but she somehow managed.

That left Rarity. From the second she saw what was to come, she was in full resistance mode.

“Absolutely not! I will not demean myself to wearing those!” She huffed.

“Darling, it’s just for one day, and only your friends and their mothers will ever know.” She said.

Rarity pouted. “No! I will not do that. I will do anything else, but I will not wear a diaper!”

“Rarity.” Cookie said in a warning tone. “You made an agreement. If you were in your shop and you made a contract with another business, and they broke it, how would you feel?”

“I don’t see how that has anything to do with-“

“You would feel bad.” Cookie cut in. “You would wonder what you had done wrong, you would ask yourself if you made the right choice in trusting them, and you would worry about what would happen the next time you saw them again. Do you really want to make Rainbow Dash feel that way? She trusted you with her biggest secret, and you agreed to try this. Do you really want to break the promise that you made to a friend? Do you really want to make her feel bad for her choices?” She pressed.

The argument wore many of Rarity’s defenses down. “But- But-“

“The only butt I want to see is yours. Up here. Right. Now.”

Rarity gulped. She knew better than to disobey her mother when she used that voice. That voice was worse than the Royal Canterlot Voice. Grumbling her dissatisfaction, she obeyed, and got up onto the table. Throughout the change she was stiff as a board. Cookie struggled to get the diaper on (No doubt as Rarity had intended) but eventually she succeeded. Her mother helped her up and kissed her head.

“There now, that wasn’t so bad now, was it?” She asked.

Rarity just harrumphed in response.

Once everypony had been changed. Velvet combined her magic with Cookie’s. Cookie moved the high chairs away, and Velvet used a cloning spell to make six rocking chairs appear. Each mother sat with their daughter draped across their lap, and each fed them a bottle. Applejack put up a bit of resistance at first, similarly to Twilight (her hesitation had only been momentary before she voluntarily started drinking), but soon found herself getting into the rhythmic suckling. Fluttershy had just blushed and taken it, thinking about all of the baby animals she had fed this way as she suckled. Pinkie had no qualms with it, and eagerly dug in. And Rarity, well, the moment she tried to argue, her mother popped the nipple in her mouth, cutting off any negative reaction she may have had. With a bit of a stern look, Cookie managed to get her daughter drinking. That left Rainbow, who nursed peacefully in her mother’s lap, Windy running a hoof through her mane just like she liked.

For a while, there were only the sounds of quiet suckling in the nursery. Until Mrs. Shy began humming to her daughter soothingly. They all joined in the universally soothing tune, creating a beautiful harmony together.

And for a moment, everypony was at peace.
