Smolder awoke in her dorm room at the School of Friendship on a sunny Saturday morning. She looked over the digital clock on her nightstand, and smiled. It read 7:30 AM. Throughout the whole week, Smolder had been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the weekend. She found that she was doing very well in her classes recently, and as a result, had not even a single page of make-up work. This meant that she was free to do as she pleased for the next few days. About a month ago, Smolder had revealed a long kept secret to her five friends. Of course, she already admitted to them that she liked indulging in cute, silly, and overly girly activities after completing the test put forth on them by the Tree of Harmony. However, the most recent secret she shared was a little different. It dug deeper into her love for silly and cute things, and was even what one would describe as foalish in nature. Smolder had revealed to her friends that she enjoyed wearing diapers, and being taken care of as a little girl. When the right opportunities presented themselves or when she simply needed a safe emotional outlet, Smolder entered 'littlespace.' It was safe to say that the dragon girl was into ageplay. But not of the sexual variety, no. She knew that was not yet appropriate for a girl her age. Instead, her indulgences in ageplay were much more wholesome and innocent. When she first revealed this to her friends, they asked the usual series of questions. "Where did this come from?", "What makes you feel this way?", etc etc. Then, Silverstream had asked something a bit more personal and intriguing.

"Smolder?" The usually hyperactive hippogriff seemed strangely timid and nervous.

"Yeah, Silver?" Smolder responded, indicating for her friend to continue.

"What's.... What's your little age? Like, when you're in littlespace, how young do you imagine yourself being?" Silverstream asked, a blush spreading across her feathery face.

"Well, I'm actually glad you asked. I usually imagine myself as being a four year old toddler. A toddler who oddly happens to not be potty trained, but continuity doesn't matter to me." Smolder explained.

"I see. Thanks for clearing that up." Silverstream happily responded.

"It's quite alright. But, why exactly do you ask?" The dragon girl asked, feeling curious herself now.

"Oh." Silverstream said, unsure of how to answer. She figured there was no harm in saying it. "Well, you see, I may or may not be looking to experiment with this myself. Your description of what it's like for you sounds so inviting and wonderful. Besides, you know that I'm always willing to try new things, no matter what they may be." The hippogriff smiled.

"Oh, that's great, Silver! I'm glad I could help open your eyes to this. If you want, I can give you pointers and recommendations along the way." Smolder beamed with pride.

"That would be nice. Thank you, Smolder!" Silverstream pulled her in for a hug.

Smolder's flashback ended, and she refocused on her morning routine. She brushed her teeth and fixed her spikes, and then ate a quick bowl of gemstone cereal. She then grabbed her necessities, and stepped out into the hallway. She giddily walked up to Silverstream's door, and rapped on it. "Comingg~" The sing-song voice of her bubbly friend sounded from inside. Soon enough, the door opened.

"Hiii, Silver!" The dragon chirped.

"Good morning, Smolder! Do you need something?" Silverstream asked.

"Actually yes. I was wondering if you're ready to have some fun today?" Smolder gestured to the diaper bag slung over her shoulder. Silver's smiled dropped.

"Oh. I'm sorry, Smolder, but I'm afraid I'm going to be busy all weekend. I would tell you to ask the others, but unfortunately, well all need to do a lot of extra credit for different classes."

Smolder looked down in disappointment. "Oh...ok. What about Ocellus, though? She never has to do extra credit." The dragon wondered.

"She's going to be visiting Thorax and her friends at the Hive for the next four days." Silver said.

"I see." Smolder sighed in defeat. Then, Silverstream lifted Smolder's chin with her claw.

"I'm really, really sorry. You'll have to find someone else to turn to this time. But don't fret, my little one. It won't be hard to do if you know where to look." Silver did her best to reassure her. Smolder thanked her anyway, and turned away. She sadly walked out of the dormitory, and into the outside world.

Smolder sat on a bench in Ponyville, with her diaper bag placed next to her. She wasn't worried about anypony being suspicious. To the casual observer, she simply appeared to be a tired babysitter taking a rest. "I have to find someone else to turn to." She mused over Silverstream's words. "While that's all well and good, who exactly am I supposed to go to? No one else in this town knows this about me." She rested her chin on her palm and thought deeply. Suddenly, a familiar male voice spoke up to the left of her.

"Perhaps I can be of some assistance?" Smolder was startled, jumped in surprise, and looked over to see who it was. She was greeted by the old, boney face of Discord, the all-powerful Lord of Chaos himself. He wore a quizzical expression, and appeared to be waiting patiently for her to answer. Before Smolder said anything though, thoughts came to her. What was he doing here? What could he possibly want from her? Smolder vaguely knew him, mostly from the numerous accounts of her professors, and that one time he had wreaked havoc in the school. Based on what she had heard from Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy, he had recently taken up Pinkie's mantel of being the local entertainer and party planner. It was especially important, now that Pinkie was working as a teacher full time. In regards to this, Smolder heard that he has actually been doing a pretty good job so far, easily living up to the chaotic standards the position held. He had even developed a clown persona complete with a costume, makeup, and props, which he performed as regularly for birthday parties, parades, and town festivals. Even though she didn't know him that well, Smolder had to admit, she was impressed that he had made such a good name for himself. With this in mind, she finally responded to him.

"Heyy, Discord. Congrats on becoming Ponyville's new party pony. You're doing an awesome job." Smolder said, trying to stay as calm as possible. As impressed with him as she was, she was still very wary of him after the fiasco he caused for her, her friends, and Guidance Counselor Starlight. But, she shrugged it off, hoping he wasn't planning any funny business. Now it was his turn to speak.

"Hiya Smolder! Thanks by the way, I really appreciate it. You want a balloon?" He asked, pulling a red helium balloon from nowhere, and mimicking the voice of Tim Curry's Pennywise.

Smolder giggled, getting the reference, then said "Nah, I'm fine for now. Thanks for offering though!" Discord gave an understanding nod, and let go of the balloon. It flew around in the air, screaming madly like a pony as it deflated and disappeared. Smolder decided to break some of the ice and ask him what was up. "Sooo....why are you here exactly?" He gave a knowing smirk and answered her question.

"Well, I'm here to help you, believe it or not." She began sweating nervously and taking glances at her diaper bag.

"H-he-help me with what?" She asked, knowing full well it won't fool him. He smiled and wagged a talon at her.

"Don't play dumb with me, Missy! You know exactly what I'm talking about." He said, in a lightly scolding tone. Smolder blushed, as it triggered her Little side to surface slightly. To prove his point, Discord gestured to the diaper bag between them. Smolder blushed harder and facepalmed.

"Oh for the love of.....How did you know?" She asked in a hushed whisper, so as not to draw any attention from passersby. Discord answered in that same whisper, respecting her privacy.

"I just do. I knew everything from the very beginning. Don't ask me why. I'm an omniscient being, that's just how it works." For some reason, Smolder wasn't convinced.

"How do I know you're actually telling the truth?" She asked, albeit rather smugly. Discord slowly leaned in to her ear, with a sly clown smile stretched onto his face.

"You, my dear girl, are a Little. You love girly things and baby things alike. You revel in parental attention from people you care about. Most of all, you're upset today, because no one is here to play with you." Smolder blushed from ear to ear, eyes wide and mouth agape, as he listed off some of her deepest and most personal desires, despite the information never once leaving her friend group. She knew this for a fact, and it put her in even more disbelief. Discord chuckled as he sat back, still grinning, and said "Is that truth enough for ya?"

"S-so...you...you w-want to b-be-?" She stammered as Discord cut her off.

"I want to be your caregiver for your days off? Yes. Definitely. Absolutely." Smolder slumped back into the bench, taking it all in.

"So...that settles it then." She said, still feeling slightly perplexed. This threw Discord off.

"Wait, you're actually ok with it? Wow, and here I thought you didn't like me..." He shook his head and got back on track. "Well then, I suppose a bit of an introduction is in order. Let's get going, shall we?" He held out his eagle claw for her to hold, while he slung the diaper bag over his right shoulder. With a flash of light, the two disappeared, and then immediately reappeared in front of his home in Chaosville. Smolder looked around in a panic.

"Woah! Wait a minute! How did we get here?!" Discord chuckled as he watched her freak out.

"A magician never reveals his secrets."
