Flushed Away
Diamond Tiara, at the age of two, was walking down the streets of Ponyville with her father, who carried her saddlebags, much too big for her to carry at this point, on his back. She was on her way to Silver Spoon’s house for a sleepover, and she was excited. Silver Spoon was her best friend, the one she had most of her playdates with. Her parents, specifically her mother, would only approve of a handful of foals for her to play with that were, according to Spoiled, “Of high breeding”, wanting her daughter to make the proper connections from an early age.
This sleepover was to be Diamond’s first, and it had taken quite a bit of convincing from Filthy to allow this to happen. But Diamond had wanted it so badly, and Filthy had never been able to deny his precious Diamond anything she desired. A short but heated argument had ensued between the married couple before Spoiled finally relented under threat of Filthy reducing her spa trips to once per week (Diamond had never heard her parents argue so badly before).
And so, Diamond Tiara found herself on the way to Silver Spoon’s house, looking forward to what was to come. Her first ever sleepover and all the fun memories she would have with her best friend in the whole wide world of Equestria.
When Silver Spoon’s elegant looking house came into view, Diamond nearly squealed in excitement. But she remembered that, according to her mother, “Rich ponies do not squeal.”. So she reluctantly stopped herself, and meandered over to the door by her father, frustrated at the slow pace. If only her diaper didn’t make trotting so difficult.
Filthy Rich knocked on the door and a butler allowed them inside, Diamond Tiara going past him to see her best friend. “Silvy!” Diamond greeted, giving her best friend a hug.
“Titi!” Silver Spoon greeted back.
When the hug parted, Diamond took note of the garment hugging her friend’s waist. It was like a diaper but… it wasn’t as thick.
“Silvy, wha’s the new diapee?” Diamond curiously asked, hoping to find out where she could get it.
Silver Spoon puffed up her chest proudly. “Is not a diapee! Is my big pony puww-ups! I potty twaining!” She declared.
Diamond looked awed. “Weawwy?”
“Uh huh!” Silvy nodded. “I just stawted wast month, but I doing so good!”
Diamond smiled, but it was somewhat tainted with her own confusion at her emotions. She wanted to be in pull-ups too. They looked so great.
Silver Spoon didn’t seem to notice the distraught look on her friend’s face. Instead, she encouarged. “Come on, Titi, wets pway!”
Diamond nodded and the foals trotted away, letting the grown-ups work out the details of the sleepover.
Diamond soon forgot her confusion as her mind raced with ideas of what she could play. They ended up playing with dolls in a playpen.
As they played Silver Spoon couldn’t help but notice that her best friend was still in diapers. She still remembered how proud she’d felt and how proud her parents had felt when she used the potty for the first time, and she wanted her best friend to feel the same way. “I gotta help Diamond use the potty too, then she’ll be in pull-ups like me. But how do I do it?” She pondered, soon pushing the thought aside in favor of playing.
But it was brought up again during a routine inspection. “You’re a little wet, Diamond. You need to be changed,” A butler declared as he scooped her up. “Silver Spoon, you can use the potty.” And a maid trotted in to take her away.
When the bathroom break ended, Silver Spoon departed the bathroom and was brought back to the playpen. She looked at Diamond, already back to playing with her toys. A faint idea starting to form in her mind. “Titi?”
Diamond spun around. “Yeah?” She asked.
“Wanna be potty twained wike me?” Silver abruptly inquired.
Diamond immediately nodded with her eyes all aglow. “Yeah!” She was about to leap up for joy, but then she remembered something she’d overheard her mother say. And her happy mood faded as a result. “But I gotsa wait till Mommy says I’m weady. I not weady yet.”
Silver snorted. “How come you wait? I can teach ya! Is easy!”
Tiara’s eyes widened in disbelief. It sounded too good to be true. “Weawwy?”
“Yeah!” Silver declared. “Just wet me know next time you gotta go, I take ya to the potty.”
“Kay,” Tiara eagerly agreed. “But it hasta be a secwet. Mommy can’t know, she’ww say no.”
“I won’ teww,” Silver said with a wink. “She wun be abwe to say no when ya awweady potty twained.”
Tiara giggled, and then playtime resumed. She was already looking forward to being just like Silver Spoon. And she’d get a chance to see how this “potty” she’d only heard about it and seen an occasional glimpse of worked. “Mommy and Daddy use it all the time, apparently. How hard can it be for me to use it?” She thought to herself.
The two foals played together for some time and enjoyed a variety of toys: Dolls, blocks, stuffed animals, and even a play tea set. But eventually play time gave way to nap time as Silver Spoon’s parents ordered the two toddlers to take a nap. There was a bit of fussing on both of their parts because they didn’t want to stop playing, but this only further confirmed the parents’ thought that a nap was needed.
“Nap time is nap time!” Mr. Spoon sternly declared. “All foals must take their naps, or they become cranky.”
Mrs. Spoon added. “It can’t be a sleepover if you two don’t sleep. You’ve already played for a really long time. And you can play more when you wake up.” She and her husband then left, allowing the hired hooves to put the foals down.
Silver Spoon waited until the hoof steps in the hall faded before turning to Diamond. “Titi, You gotta potty?” She inquired.
Diamond shifted a bit. “I dunno.” she shyly answered. The truth was she wasn’t all too sure, she didn’t really know when she had to pee or poop. It usually just sort of happened and then she’d be changed. But that obviously wouldn’t work this time. The potty didn’t wait for you, you had to come to it.
“Come on, we go to the potty and hewp you twy.” Silver Spoon declared.
“Kay, Silvy,” Diamond eagerly agreed. “Bu how we get out of the cwibs?”
“Jus do wha I do, I sneak out a wot!” Silver Spoon declared. She expertly maneuvered herself out from the crib and hopped down. Diamond faced some difficulty in doing the same due to the bulk of her diaper, but somehow she managed to wiggle out. When both foals had gotten out, they headed to the door. Thanks to the handiwork of several ponies who made sure everything worked flawlessly in the house, the door did not squeak upon their exit as they then snuck down the hall.
The bathroom (or as the grown ups called it the lavatory), was a few doors down from Silver Spoon’s room. Taking care not to be spotted they crept down the hall to their destination. They went inside and shut the door as carefully as they could.
“Silvy?” Diamond asked once they were inside.
“Yeah?” Silver replied.
“How come they call it a labatowy?” Tiara questioned as she looked around. “Dis pwace dun wook wike a wab.”
“I dunno,” Silver shrugged her hooves. “Maybe cause dis pwace was made in one?”
“Maybe. Ow maybe cause is whewe aww these stwange big things came fwom.” Diamond pondered. Then the two of them locked eyes upon the toilet.
It looked huge from where they stood. A throne of pure porcelain with a strange bowl design that lead down to the ground for some reason.
“Is so big.” Diamond declared and gulped, whimpering a bit as she gazed upon the massive beast.
“Yeah,” Silver Spoon nodded. “Don’ worry. though. Is not scawy when you up thewe. It dun eat ya.”
Diamond nervously nodded back, if Silver Spoon said it then it was probably true. However, there was still one problem “How we get up thewe?”
“Twy cwimbing on me!” Silver encouraged .So Diamond did, climbing onto Silver Spoon’s back to try and reach the lip of the seat (the lid had been removed), but even then she could not make it, her hooves couldn’t even grasp the edge and slipped off. They were about to give up hope, when Silver Spoon spied a stool by the sink. The stool was supposed to help Silver get down after she used the potty or when she needed to brush her teeth, but it could work for this too.
“Hang on, Diamond! I gots an idea!” Silver instructed.
Diamond hopped down from her friend’s back. Silver Spoon then grabbed the stool, put it by the potty, and Diamond climbed up. She could reach it with her forehooves now. It was a bit of a struggle, but she eventually managed to pull herself up onto the toilet seat. It was kind of slippery but somehow she managed.
Silver Spoon climbed up onto the stool to instruct the attempt. “Okay, Titi, fiwst you gotsa get youw diapee off and put ya wump ovew ta bowl.” She explained, sounding not unlike a teacher in a school.
Diamond Tiara looked down at her diaper. She had never managed to do that before, any time she had tried, regardless of whether her diaper was used or not, someone always caught or scolded her. To be told she could do it now made her equal parts nervous and giddy. It sure was a good thing there were no grown-ups around.
The little filly looked down at the padded undergarment and tried to pull it down her waist, but that wasn’t working. It refused to budge. What was she doing wrong? She stopped to think. She remembered that during her diaper changes there was always a ripping noise. “It must be how you get the diaper off, somehow.” She figured, and that meant she must have to rip it off. It was then that Diamond saw that one of the tapes was a bit loose, sticking out a little like a bandaid after it was in water. Curiously, she pulled on it. The familiar ripping sound came and she discovered with great joy that her diaper was now partly open! Excited to have figured out the mystery, she pulled the other one and her diaper came open completely. She grinned and tossed the diaper aside. “Bye bye diapee! Me no need you now!” She declared.
“Good!” Silver Spoon praised. “Now ya go potty. Basicawwy ya just do what ya do in your diapee!”
“Kay, Silvy. Gonna twy to go pee pee and poo poo in potty!” Tiara encouraged.
Diamond Tiara attempted to go to the bathroom, but she was struggling. Nothing happened, despite her best efforts. Maybe she didn’t have to go after all? Maybe she’d already gone earlier before her diaper change? She was proven wrong moments later though, when the sound of water hitting water filled the bathroom, along with a few plops. Diamond grinned ear to ear, looking down to see the results of her hard work floating in the bowl. “I did it, Silvy! Me went potty!”
“Yeah!” Silver cheered and clapped her hooves. “Bu ya not done yet,” She spoke and grabbed more toilet paper than any one pony would need from the nearby holder. She tore it off and handed it to Diamond. “Now you wipe with tis, is cawwed toiwet paper.”
“Wipe wha?” Tiara asked as she shot her friend a confused look.
“You. Ya fwank. Just wike when ya gets a diapee change.” Silver clarified.
Diamond was a bit confused but she did as she was told. She clumsily wiped herself with the rolls of toilet paper provided.
“Now wet it go in da potty, you dun thwow in da twash.” Silver further instructed.
Diamond did that rather easily, dumping the discarded rolls into the bowl where they landed without fanfare.
Silver Spoon clapped for her friend. “Good! Now all ya do is fwush the potty. Is fun!”
Diamond blinked. “Fwush? Wha dat?”
Silver Spoon pointed to the silver handle on the side of the toilet. “Is that handwe thingy ovew thewe. You push it and it makes everything in da potty go away.”
Tiara looked at the handle, it looked pretty big and pretty far away. “I can’t weach it fwom hewe.”
I hewp wit dat. Just be weady, is woud.” Silver replied and then climbed up, making her way over to the handle. She was still having trouble with the handle because it was up high and was fairly sizable to her, but she managed this time to make the toilet flush. Pushing the handle down with all the strength she had.
Unfortunately, Diamond Tiara was woefully unprepared for the noise that resulted. It startled her so much that she jumped a tiny bit, moving just enough in the short time to lose her precarious balance on the toilet! She yelped as she fell backward into the toilet, now swirling as it flushed rapidly! It spun her round and round, until she couldn’t see straight! She couldn’t even call for help because it was already sucking her down, into the water, despite her best efforts to try and resist it! Then the marginal view she had of the bathroom vanished entirely as she was pulled down through the hole and into the pipes, her screams turning into a garbled cry of “Glug, glug, glug”!
A horrified Silver Spoon watched her best friend disappear down the drain! “Diamond!” She screamed! She couldn’t see any trace of her friend in the bowl. Which meant there was only one way she was going to find and rescue her friend. She eyed the handle, preparing for a second flush.
As for Diamond the water carried the foal along on its journey. It was like a giant and very dark water slide with no end in sight. She was screaming now that there was no water to obscure it, hoping beyond hope that somepony would hear. Suddenly, the darkness gave way to a portion of light as she was spat out of the pipe and into the sewer. She tumbled once before landing in a heap in a puddle of sewer water with a light splash.
Diamond got to her hooves. Other than a few bangs that made her sniff sadly, she seemed alright. She stepped forward a few paces to look around. The brick lined sewer was dark, and the water looked a sickly green in color. The foal was trying to figure out which way to go when suddenly she heard a noise, soft at first, then growing louder quite quickly. It was a scream!
Tiara turned just in time to see Silver Spoon fall out from the pipe and land in the sewer too. Diamond looked on in surprise for a moment before rushing to her friend’s location. “Silvy! Ya got fwushed fow me?!”
Silver Spoon sputtered a cough before she stood up. “Yeah. I did. It was scawy.”
“Why ya wet yoursewf get fwushed? Why you go down potty?” Tiara questioned in surprise.
“Cause if I didn’t hewp you twy you wouwd not got fwushed,” Silver apoloigzed. “I sowwy, Diamond.”
But Diamond smiled. “Is okay, Silvy. You hewped me use da big pony potty. So now I can go wike you, Mommy and Daddy wiww be pweased. And onwy my bestest fwiend would do aww this fow me.”
“Weawwy?” Silver asked.
“Yeah.” Tiara replied. The two foal then shared a hug, despite being covered in the disgusting contents of the sewer.
Silver Spoon pulled away when the hug ended. “We gotsa go back to my house!”
Diamond nodded. “Yeah, but whewe go?”
Silver Spoon took a shot in the dark and pointed to the right. “We just go till we get out, ten we find ouw way back home.” She suggested. And the two foals began what they assumed would be a long and smelly trek back home.
As the foals walked along the lengths of the sewer, they occasionally stopped to look at things that had also been flushed down. The glint of something shiny caught Silver Spoon’s eye, so she went over to take a look. Underneath layers of grime was a gold ring.
“My mommy wouwd wike dat!” Diamond commented.
Silver giggled. “Mine too!”
“Can we take it back to them?” Tiara suggested, seeing nothing wrong with a gold ring that had been discarded into the sewers.
“Dere’s onwy one,” Silver observed. “How we give to them?”
“Oh yeah. Guess we can’t take it, unwess we find anothew one that got fwushed.” Diamond realized.
Silver then tossed the ring aside and the foal continued onward. They did come upon a few toys as they made their way through the sewers, occasionally finding something like a rubber ducky or even a toy action figure. Sometimes the toy would be interesting enough for them to want to take home, but each time they considered it they were reminded by each other and by the voices of their parents in their minds that they were not supposed to bring home dirty things.
They found more jewelry too. A gold earring, a few pearls that were obviously once part of a necklace, a small pin, a pendant. They wondered to one another why some pony would flush all that away.
“Maybe they no want it?” Diamond speculated.
“I dunno. I want it.” Silver observed as the jewelry captivated her attention.
“Mommy says that old stuff dun need to be keeped. Maybe they fwush instead?” Tiara pondered. Perhaps that’s what had happened to the old necklace her mother had stopped wearing a while back?
“Maybe. We can ask tem when we get back,” Silver commented and then the foals trekked onward. Eventually, their journey led them to a circle of light coming down from above, which Silver Spoon spied out of the corner of her eye. “Is a way out!” She encouragingly declared.
“We did it!” Diamond declared as they rushed to the exit. There was a pony-made ladder next to the hole where the light was coming from, though why it was there the foals had no idea. Silver Spoon climbed on Diamond’s back to try and reach the top, and made it up the first rung, holding a hoof out to Diamond Tiara to help her up. They took turns standing on each others backs to reach the rungs of the ladder, almost losing their balance and falling down more than once.
When they made it to the top the foals tried to push the thing that was blocking the light, but it was very heavy. So they tried another tactic, they tried to slide it over and were successful. The opening it created was just big enough for them to fit through. They climbed out, and discovered they were above ground, near Silver Spoon’s home.
“I know whewe we awe!” Silver Spoon declared. “We by my house in a nerarby park! Mommy takes me to pway down hewe sometimes!”
“Wet’s go I gots to teww Mommy and Daddy I used the potty!” Diamond happily exclaimed. And followed Silver Spoon as she led the way back to the manor.
The door to the manor, as luck would have it, had been left open just enough for the foals to be let in without help, and they discovered pandemonium upon entering. Servants were scurrying around, searching the house and calling for them by name.
Spoiled Rich was there too, having come over in the interim for tea with Silver Spoon’s parents while Filthy Rich tended to Barnyard Bargains now that it was the afternoon.
Spoiled Rich spied two dirty and smelly figures from the corner of her eye and was about to demand they leave at once. But when she turned completely, she saw that it was actually her daughter and Silver Spoon covered in dirt, grime, and Celestia knows what else. She was appalled, disgusted, and beyond angry. She skulked over to the filthy form of her daughter. “Diamond Dazzle Tiara!” She demanded at the top of her lungs. “Why in Equestria do you look like you crawled out of a backwoods farmer’s pig pen, and smell worse than sour milk? And where’s your diaper?” She wrinkled her nose before plugging it with a hoof to block out the horrific stench.
Diamond Tiara straightened herself with pride and beamed. “I did it, Mommy! I used the big pony potty!”
Spoiled raised a brow. “And?”
“And I’m weady fow pull ups, just like Silvy, and to stawt using the potty like you and Daddy do!” Tiara declared. “You dun have to change my diapees anymowe! I go pee pee and poo poo in the potty!”
Spoiled’s face grew to a frowning grimace. “Diamond Tiara, I appreciate the gesture but you really shouldn’t have,” She scolded. “If you really needed to use the toilet so badly, you should have asked somepony to take you to the bathroom instead of wandering off and getting yourself and Silver Spoon smellier than one of those servant farm ponies! I don’t even want to know where you ended up, you’re to be cleaned at once!” She then clapped her hooves and called for a maid, before taking one last look at Diamond Tiara. Her eyes looked away from her daughter, but before she could hide it, Diamond thought she saw the ghost of a smile on her mother’s face.
“Mommy must be proud of the fact that she can potty train me now! No more stinky diapers for her to change!” The filly thought. Her father would surely also rejoice upon learning the end of the diaper days was on the horizon.
Silver Spoon looked at her friend after Spoiled walked away. “Ya Mommy din’ look happy that ya used da potty.”
Diamond smiled. “I tink she was but she dun wanna say it, she weird wike tat. But Daddy wiww be pwoud of me, I know he wiw. An’ I teww him tat you show me how ta do it!”
Silver Spoon giggled. “You won teww him everyting that happened wight?”
Diamond nodded. “Of couwse not, he’d nevew beviewe me anyway.”
Just then, the maid Spoiled had instructed came over and picked the foals up with her hooves. “My goodness, girls! You smell as if you’ve fallen into the sewers!” She dramatically exclaimed. “But silly me, that’s ridiculous. You two may have gotten outside somehow but there’s no way you would survive down there. No foals could.” She declared, before making her way to the bathroom.
At her words, the two foals smiled and shared a conspiratorial wink. Some adventures were just too big for grown ups.
