Rose took a few steps back from the princess, and only then did she realize the puddle that she'd left on the floor. She blushed hard when she saw it. She then looked back to the kitchen where the three girls were eating breakfast. They had no idea what was going on here, but she knew that wouldn't last. She also knew that even if she wanted to stand up to the princess and defend her friends and family, there was no way that could happen. Celestia was an alicorn, and she was a simple earth pony. "I know I can't stop you princess, so I won't even try. I will say though that I am disappointed that the monarchy sides with a mare-beater in situations like this… just know that if you go through with this, you're endangering the lives of every single pony that wants to feel young again…" she said, stepping to the side.

Princess Celesta looked at the cream colored mare dumbfounded at what she had just heard the pony say. She tried to hold it in a bit, but soon the giggles that were inside her broke out into laughter. "Oh…" she started. "You think… you think I'm… wahahahaha… aaaahahahahaha ….oohoohoo… hoo… ha…" she said finally calming down.

"My apologies… I just… I've never been that misinterpreted before… though my humorous on the matter probably didn't make things any better…" she told Rose. "Rest assured my little pony. I am not here to administer any sort of discipline. I am simply here to speak with them about what transpired. No more, and no less. I have no reason to administer punishment for a pony being themselves, so long as they aren't hurting other ponies in the process," she told the mare. "Though between you and me… you might want to go clean up…" Celestia added, pointing to the puddle.

Rose let out the breath that she was holding after the princess started laughing. The explanation that she gave made her feel both better and worse at the same time. "That is quite comforting to hear, princess… it's just… you have to understand where we're coming from. Most ponies rarely see you or your sister outside of Canterlot unless you're addressing a problem or arresting somepony… It's kind of earned you a fairly negative reputation outside of Canterlot," Rose told her.

"I see…" the princess started. "I will admit, that is a bit unsettling that so many of my subjects see my arrival or presence in their city in such a negative perspective… Though I guess technically I am here to deal with a problem, just not in the way that you are thinking. Whenever a case of a violent pony comes in front of me, I always check to make sure the victim, or victims are okay. I do so by speaking with them directly, and get a sense for their body language in addition to their words," she added, walking past Rose and into the kitchen.

The kitchen immediately became quiet as the princess walked in and noticed the three mares all padded up in their diapers and appeared to be in the process of breakfast. However, they were now staring at her with pinpricks for eyes and their hooves moved down in an attempt to cover themselves. "Hello Lemon Hearts, Octavia, Daisy. This is quite the interesting little get up you three have here," she said pulling up a chair to the table. As she did, she could hear a loud hiss from the pale yellow mare next to her and the blush on her cheek told her everything she needed to know. "I will try to be quick, so I don't interrupt playtime too much. I just wanted to talk about what happened this morning."

"Wait… you're taking his side!?" Lemon shrieked at first.

"Wow… Rose wasn't kidding…" Celestia says under her breath. "No my little pony, I'm not. I came here today to learn more about you and to make sure that both you and Octavia both are okay from the stallion's violent episodes. I can see Ms. Hearts, that you have several wounds that have been treated. May I see them?"

"I would rather you didn't… a couple of them are in some very personal spots, and the others were a pain for Rose to get the bandages to stay put. I would rather not make her reapply them…" Lemon countered.

"I can easily reapply them with magic, but I do need to see them unfortunately to get an idea of their severity. That way I can get a proper idea for sentencing for Eiffel," Celestia told hey.

"The rest of his life should be good enough…" Lemon said sourly.

"Unfortunately I can't make that call without seeing the wounds," Celestia confirmed.

Lemon Hearts finally relented and backed away from the table. She blushed hard as she realized just how much her diaper was sagging now, and the princess was going to see her in a very, very wet diaper. Lemon started with the bandage around her barrel and showed a decent sized laceration that stung quite a bit more now that air was getting to it. Then the bandage on her neck, revealing another cut and some bruises before then unwrapping her swollen eye. "There are two more but…" she blushed hard looking at her diaper.

"Would you like me to change you?" Celestia asked, nearly making Lemon Hearts fall into said padding. She wasn't expecting the princess of all ponies to be that forward. "I'm going to have to see the wounds anyway to document them," she said before lifting the saggy part with her magic. "Besides, it looks like you could use it," she said before hearing an echo of hissing now. That actually made Celestia blush a bit herself.

Lemon Hearts blushed even more, especially when she felt the squishy padding get pushed back into her, before laying back into the tile. She watched as Celestia moved forward and started undoing her diaper. When she did, she noticed a little bit of red on the inside that had been diluted more to an orange now and she looked towards the mare's slit. There were a few cuts on her labia but they didn't go very deep.

Celestia shuddered when she saw that, and further did so from the smell of the fresh pee that was in the diaper. She'd either been kicked or bitten and neither were pleasant feelings in that location. Celestia was actually surprised she had any control at all at this point. A pony's marehood was designed to stretch and accommodate, so for it to actually get cut meant the force of the kicks or bites had to be hard. She also noticed a much larger bite mark by her tail, and there was another smell that she picked up too. One decidedly male. It made sense. Celestia's horn lit up and then suddenly Lemon could hear Celestia in her mind.

"We will have this next part of the conversation here, out of respect for your privacy," Celestia told her.

"No offense princess… but we're way past when my privacy matters at this point… my mare bits are on display to everypony in the room." Lemon retorted.

"Is that not normal for group playdates? One would have thought they would have seen that already and this would be nothing new. But I do have a very serious question, and I need you to be truthful to me. Did Eiffel force himself upon you before you got away? I can smell 'him' coming from you." Celestia asked.

Just when Lemon Hearts thought her blush couldn't get any brighter, Celestia surprises get yet again. She knew that Celestia could also read any of her thoughts right now with the magic she was casting, so hiding anything would be impossible. Lemon looked away from the princess and then nodded.

"I see…" the princess said before teleporting some wipes and a pastel blue diaper with Luna's cutie mark printed all over it. She began to very gently wipe the mare clean, paying extra attention to the cuts on her slit to make sure they were nice and clean before sealing those up with her magic. She then let that wave of magic wash over the pony and her wounds were no longer. She then slid the new diaper under Lemon Hearts and taped it shut, though it was a little bit snug. "Huh, you must be just a bit larger than my sister. Hopefully that's not too uncomfortable."

"It's a little tight, but it's worka…" Lemon started before realizing what the princess said. "Wait… Luna's a little!?"

"Not entirely, but she has been having control issues since her return… After being on the moon for a thousand years, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to potty train her again. She was hard enough to train the first time," the princess explained. "There ya go. All clean," she said, turning to Octavia.

"As for you Octavia. I heard that you had a run in with Eiffel as well? I would like to hear what happened from you," Celestia said.

"Honestly, it's pretty straightforward. I was already here, I'm fact I had just gotten changed out of a rather full diaper, but hadn't put another on cause I was planning on running home real quick and I didn't want to walk all throughout Ponyville wearing a diaper. Just because I accidentally left a clearly labeled pack of diapers outside for everyone to see and they know I wear them now, doesn't mean everypony wanted to actually see me wearing said diaper," Octavia said to Celestia, watching her nod.

"Rose had just finished and I had just grabbed my saddle bag when Lily called Rose in a panic. That's when Lemon Hearts showed up, looking like she'd been beaten to within an inch of her life. When she explained what happened, I marched right over to Eiffel's house, saw the destroyed pile of diapers and her little supplies, and bucked him in the teeth. If the guards hadn't shown up when they did. I was going to make Eiffel look like Lemon by the time I was done with him," Octavia finished.

"I see…" Celestia started. "Well… there will have to be a punishment for that… as while it was well deserved violence, it was still unwarranted violence. For your punishment, you are going to have to come to Canterlot in the weeks and play for my sister's birthday bash and you will be diapered the entire time. That way Luna doesn't feel bad about being the only one there wearing one," Celestia said. "After the party, you will be Luna's playdate for the next week."

Octavia couldn't believe her ears. That's a punishment? She thought to herself, confused. She was expecting something more like a fine or community service… Well… I guess technically this is kinda community service, she thought again with a giggle. "Agreed… but I will need exact times… I wouldn't want to be late."

"You won't be, don't worry," Celestia said. "As for Eiffel. I can assure you," she started looking towards Lemon. "He will get what's coming to him. "Like turning him into a mare and letting the guards loose on her," she finished, that last part going directly to Lemon.

It was about them that Rose had finally made her way back to the kitchen after cleaning up her little accident in the living room. Rose let out a sigh of relief. "Phew… no pony is dead or arrested…" she said, getting quite the offended look from the princess. "Kidding!!! Kidding!!! Sorry, I couldn't help myself," she said noticing the very different diaper that Lemon Hearts was wearing. "Lemon… did you make a stinky for the princess?"

"What! No!!!" Lemon blurted out. "I mean… not yet… I was only wet and she needed to see the injuries. She also fixed them!"

Rose couldn't hide the look of shock that she had before looking back to Celestia. "What? I couldn't let her suffer and they were mostly just cuts and bruises. And with some of them being in an area subject to contamination, I didn't want them getting infected. So, since I was healing those already, I figured why not. That being said, I think you have a couple of other fillies that need a change now, so I think I'll leave you to it."

"Awwww, I wanted to get changed by the princess!!!" Daisy blurted out grumpily.

Rose felt her jaw drop as she heard Daisy basically just equate the Princess of Equestria to a common foal sitter. "Sorry princess. I'll make sure my little ones are better behaved in the future," she said glaring at Daisy.

"Oh it's perfectly fine. I should have expected as such when I offered to change Lemon in exchange for getting to see the wounds that she had. Although if you could get me a few of their diapers, I would appreciate it. Luna will notice if too many of hers come up missing, and they are just a tad bit smaller in the waist than they are," Celestia requested.

"Sure thing! Come on girls, let's go back to the play room where the supplies are. Most of the oatmeal is gone anyway so I'll have to come back in here and clean up," Rose instructed. The three fillies led the princess back towards the play room and she began to clean up the kitchen. That was until she saw Daisy stop and start to squat. She was getting ready to call Daisy out but it was too late. Hey tail flagged and a giant bulge appeared in the back of hey diaper under her tail.

"Phew," She heard Celestia tease, relieving her spirits a bit. "I think you might give my sister a run for her bits," she giggled following them into the room.

As they were out of the Rose kinda fell back against the fridge, hard enough it made Lily peek her head in. "Rose… you okay?"

"Did… All that really just happen? Princess Celestia… randomly appearing in our house… revealing sides of them I'm sure her sister would have rather remained private… and changing the others?" Rose asked.

"Seems like it. Wait… Celestia is changing their diapers!?" Lily asked, shocked.

"Apparently. Speaking of, where did you go? Celestia appeared and you just poofed."

"I went and hid in the bathroom. I didn't want to have the same welcome that you gave her by making a puddle. I'm surprised she didn't try to diaper you after that," Lily commented.

"She probably thought about it, but didn't want to make things any more awkward. She didn't really take too kindly to the news that outside of Canterlot her arrival strikes fear into ponies," Rose stated.

"I mean… Can you really blame her? Just like how she can't really blame us for our thoughts because it's what we see, we can't really blame her for being upset by it. Can you imagine walking into a city and instantly being feared? Sure everypony is respectful to her but I'm sure she notices that undertone. She's basically getting a first hoof experience of what her sister felt a thousand years ago," Lily responded.

"I still can't believe all of those old Mare's Tales are actually true! I never thought anything more about it until Nightmare Moon came back last year," Rose said, standing up and moving the bowls to the sink.

"Thank the stars that Twilight knew what was going on and actually believed the story. Otherwise Luna would still be Nightmare Moon, and we'd be living in eternal night. I mean, the stars are beautiful and all, but how would we have been able to grow our flowers?"

"Yeah, but to think… if Celestia would do that to her own sister, just remove her from existence for a thousand years… then what would she do to a normal pony? We don't live forever like they do. We'd die after the first year…" Rose said.

"Actually it's more of a stasis than anything…" a voice said from behind them.

"Princess Celestia!!!" They both said before Rose's ears drooped back again. "How long have you been there…"

"Long enough to confirm how my subjects actually feel about me, and to get a better understanding of why… I never meant for any of this to get this far out of control…" Celestia said with a sigh, stepping into the kitchen. "You have to understand… a thousand years ago, when my sister fell… I only had two options… banishment or execution… Many ponies back then thought that banishing her was too nice. They wanted me to kill my own sister. I never had it in my heart to even contemplate it. Unfortunately, once I banished her, we lost attunement to the elements. I couldn't bring her back if I wanted to, and I had. Several times. Not even I knew how long the banishment was going to last, and I certainly didn't intend it on being a thousand years…" Celestia said, hanging her head.

Hearing the princess talk about what must be such a sensitive topic for her gave the two flower ponies pause. They didn't want to interrupt too much. "I'm sorry princess… we didn't know…"

"I know… there was no way that you could. Up until two years ago the take was told as a legend. The only pony alive today that is from that time is well… me. Several generations of ponies had passed before my sister returned so few ponies ever believed she existed at all. They even refused to believe me when I would correct them the first few years telling me that it was better this way… Now, the only thing I've accomplished recently is apparently making the entire kingdom believe that I'm a tyrant that only shows up when administering punishments… I don't even know how I got that reputation because I've never publicly administered a punishment. I try to keep them as descrete as possible…"

"If I may, Princess… if you're concerned about that, you could always just kind of go out more. Go to different events. You know, ones that you aren't required to be at. Show the ponies outside of Canterlot your benevolence that you show there. Ponies will warm up to you more if you just come around more often than just to arrest somepony," Rose interjected.

"You know, that's a really good idea. Luna did say that the ponies here in Ponyville helped her fit in when she came here for Nightmare Night a few weeks ago. That helped boost her confidence… I can see why Twilight likes it here now. There are a lot of good ponies here. I'll have to stop by for a casual visit one day. I remember I tried that once before and I got… pulled away… to deal with a problem… but the ponies in Trottingham were quite relieved at my presence. Still, I must be getting back to the palace. The guards will begin to wonder if something is wrong soon," she said before lighting up her horn. "I will keep your suggestions in mind," she blurted before she disappeared into the aether.

Lily turned to Rose after the princess teleported away. "Well… that went as well as it could have… if not incredibly awkward."

"To be fair, we kinda made it awkward when the princess heard us talking about her, but I agree. I'll have to wait and see about what the princess had to say though. It's going to take a bit more than a few words for me to change my opinion. She is still an alicorn after all, and we have every reason to be wary every time she's in town,"

"I'm honestly kind of wondering what else the princesses might be hiding. If the Mare in the Moon was real, then what other legends or myths that we tell ponies about are real as well," Lily said as they finished the dishes. "You should probably go check on your littles," Lily smiled.

Rose nodded back to Lily before turning the water off and heading back into the playroom. The three fillies were all cleaned up and were playing with the dolls in the corner of the room. "Hey girls. Doing okay?"

Lemon Hearts was the first to nod. "Yes momma! We're playing pretend again, but with dolls this time so no pony gets hurt!"

"Yeah! We just stopped the attack in the castle and now we're getting ready to launch a counter attack!" Octavia chimed in.

Rose was relieved. She was so worried that the princess showing up was going to put a damper on everything. She was almost certain when she came that somepony was going to get taken away. But that wasn't the case at all, and Daisy, Octavia, and Lemon Hearts were all still having fun. All three of them continued to play like there wasn't a care in the world. "Alright, let me know if you need anything," she smiled.

"Juice! I'd like some juice please!" Daisy said before getting similar responses from the other fillies.

Rose just chuckled a bit. "Alright, three bottles of apple juice coming right up," she says, leaving the girls to themselves.

Octavia looked back to the other two. "I still can't get over the fact that Celestia actually came to talk to us about what happened!"

"Tell me about it!" Lemon Hearts responded. "It was embarrassing enough to have the princess actually see us in our diapers, but then I went and wet myself right in front of her! And then she changed me! I know she was just trying to take a look at what Eiffel did but still!"

"I didn't think it was that bad. Once she's in the house she's just another grown up," Daisy replied. "Besides, I certainly didn't make it easy on her."

"You got that right stinky!" Lemon chided with a giggle.

"I still can't believe that I'm going to have to play a recital wearing a diaper for Princess Luna, or that I'm going to be her playdate! A playdate with the princess is going to be so much fun! Provide we actually get along. Otherwise that would be more like a nightmare. Still, she didn't seem that bad when she was here for Nightmare Night," Octavia replied.

"Eh… she was still pretty scary honestly. I mean she used her magic to come in on a lightning storm! And I think I've heard rock concerts quieter than her voice," Daisy countered.

"Perhaps, but this was her first nightmare night after being gone for a thousand years, and considering it was born from her namesake, well… of her other form anyway, she had no idea what to expect. I mean… would you know how to act if you just poofed for a thousand years?" Lemon Hearts asked as Rose returned with their juice. "Thanks momma!" she added, starting to drink from her bottle.

"Thanks momma," Daisy said to Rose before looking back at Lemon. "I suppose not, but I can't imagine being home for that long anyway. That had to be boring and lonely," she said looking at Lemon's current diaper. "I mean, it's no wonder she's trying to be a foal again. That's the quickest way to not be lonely anymore."

"Unless you're me apparently," Lemon commented.

"Nonsense Lemon! You're not alone! You have us! And we'll always be here for you… except for that week I'll have to be gone, or I have other performances scheduled but hey, you're invited to all of them," Octavia smiled.

"Yeah! What she said! And even if she's out of town, I'm always here! Lily handles all of our out-of-town deliveries so I'm almost always home and I wear diapers every night so if you wanna come over and be little then you're more than welcome to join," Daisy added with a smile on her own.

"Aww, you girls…" Lemon said, smiling herself with tears in the corners of her eyes. "Come here," she added. She leaned forward and pulled the two other mares into a hug. As she did, she could feel the oatmeal from breakfast knocking at her backdoor. With a smirk she pulled the hug in tighter and started grunting. The back of her diaper bulged out quite a bit before she sat back down.

Octavia and Daisy both heard the grunt from the hug and couldn't help but watch the seat of Lemon's diaper expand. Daisy was almost certain that it was going to leak as tight as it was, and couldn't help but giggle when she was done. "Feel better?"

"Yup! Now, where were we? This castle isn't going to avenge itself!" Lemon smiled, contently playing in her full diaper.

The girls would continue like this until later in the evening. Playing, napping, getting changed, it was all a fun part of their day. As the last diaper was getting removed for the night, Lemon Hearts smiled. "I can't thank you girls enough for being here for me. After the morning I had, I really needed this. Plus I got to make a new friend today to boot!" she said, giving Octavia a boop on her nose.

Octavia would start to feel a tickle in her nose from said boop, and after a few more moments, "Aaaahchu!" the mare sneezed before rubbing her nose and hearing the giggle fits of the other two. "Ha ha ha… very funny…" she said before booping both of them in return getting the exact same reaction. Her breath hitched a bit as she stopped a laugh. "You know… that is kind of funny," she said before all three of them started laughing.

"Same time next week?" Daisy asked hopefully.

"I'm free, how about you Tavi?" Lemon replied.

"I should be good. I'll have to double check my performance schedule when I get home to see where I'm performing and if I can get back in time," she replied.

"Well, if you're available, you know where to find us!"

"Sure do! Thanks again for everything, and make sure to tell your sister I said thanks again for inviting me! I had a blast. I should really get going now though. Vinyl's supposed to be can't tonight and her train should be arriving soon. I would like to meet her at the station," Octavia smiled, pulling Lemon Hearts and Daisy into one last hug. "See you again soon!" she said, washing as she departed through the door.
