Princess Pamper Precedent

The second change went considerably faster than the first, almost entirely due to the fact that it hadn't been all that much of a mess in the first place, just the tail end of what her body hadn't pushed out when she had initially defecated on the balcony, part of her briefly wondered why it had occurred that way, but on her list of worries, that one was considerably farther down on her list. As they left her bedroom Celestia's mind ran rampant with the hows and the whys. Under most circumstances, she would have immediately teleported into her sisters room, since she obviously couldn't do that thanks to the ring, she turned to the pony accompanying her.

"Slushy, I would like to go see my sister." Celestia stated firmly. Only for a sudden. "No." to slap her across the face.

Ears folded back, Celestia was so used to her handlers and staff just bending over backwards to her when she asked for even the smallest thing, that hearing such a brazen refusal of something she definitely wanted was baffling.

"Breakfast comes first Princess, then maybe we can see Luna if she hasn't gone to bed." Slushy stated in a matter of fact way.

Celestia wanted to argue, but how could she, she had no magic of her own, except for moving the sun and moon apparently, not that such a skill would help in this situation. If she were to explain why it was important that she see her sister, this pony would either think she was insane, or that whomever orchestrated all of this might end up being tipped off and then act to stop her. Surely she would be able to speak to Luna without arousing all that much suspicion, perhaps she'd even see Luna at breakfast, it wasn't common but they sometimes had breakfast together, though this was based off of her normal life, which this clearly was not.

The two of them headed for the breakfast chamber, Celestia, a mare who normally strode through her castle with an air of stoicism, was now constantly shifting her eyes, constantly flicking her ears, stepping with just a bit more care than usual. Eyes were darting between every pony they came across, maid, guard, other members of staff, each time she was looking to see their incredulous faces. She saw none. Nopony acted as if this wasn't how things normally were. Her ears were distracted by her every movement, the sound of her diaper crinkling with each slight movement her back half made. Her hoof steps more deliberate as she attempted to trot along and make as little noise as possible, a difficult task because of just how much the diaper wrapped around her flank widened the stance of her rear legs. It wasn't difficult to move per-say, just cumbersome. She wasn't used to walking with such a thickness between her hind legs.

The trot to breakfast seemed to take so much longer than she was used to, this one single difference made everything feel so unfamiliar, and yet there was this odd sense that despite knowing that this was all different, that it was also somehow the same? Celestia chalked this up to whatever sorcery had caused all of this in the first place, clearly her mind was meant to be effected just like everypony else, hopefully her sister's mind wasn't suffering like hers was though if Luna were aware of things, she doubted her sister would be as 'patient' with things, Luna would have come to her surely? Dread crept into Celestia's mind as she was sat down at a table, realizing that her sister was likely lost to whatever had happened.

She was broken out of her thoughts by the sounds of plates, forks, and such. Down in front of her was a plate of pancakes dotted with small nuts and slices of strawberry, drizzled with syrup, the smell of them, which she had somehow missed coming into the room, was like a breath of fresh air, the smell of maple and fruit managed to chase away her memories of the odor she endured just a bit earlier. Her chair felt more comfortable than she was used to, but quickly she realized that was just the benefit of wearing something so puffy around her flank. Instinctively she went to use her magic to levitate her silverware, but her mind simply buzzed lightly as it was blocked by the ring on her horn. Before she could complain though, she saw somepony else manipulating things for her. Slushy's magic had a soft amber glow to it, something she hadn't seen since the mare had been doing all of her magic from behind Celestia before. A brief look of annoyance flashed across Celestia's face as a forkful of pancake was levitated up to her muzzle, it disappeared almost as quickly as it appeared, she was used to keeping her emotions in check, the fact that she reacted at all was worrying, though understandable, she was quite shaken after all.

Glancing over she saw Slushy looking at her expectantly, so Celestia opened her mouth and the food was put right in. Celestia savoring the flavor, and doubly enjoying the fact that despite wearing diapers and being fed, they weren't serving her foal food. After a few bites, a glass of milk levitated over to her maw, which she drank from before the food was back in her face again. Despite the fact that a complete stranger was feeding her, Slushy was doing this expertly, it was almost as if Celestia were feeding herself, it was that efficient. So efficient in fact that Celestia barely even noticed when she'd finally finished after drinking the last of her milk, a full feeling in her stomach briefly reminded her that this lovely meal was destined to spend time strapped to her flank at some point, but the thought was shoved aside when she suddenly let out a resounding.

"Uurp!" A belch having ripped its way out of her mouth without any resistance from Celestia at all.

The Princess blushed immediately, normally she would not allow herself to do something so crass, not in full view of the staff anyway, and if she were, it would have been held in her mouth and then slowly exhaled. Whatever had caused her bowels and bladder to have such a lack of control apparently extended to her burping as well. Despite her own embarrassment though, nopony seemed to react, a cloth was levitated up to her and her face was wiped clean and that was it, breakfast was over.

"Now may I go see my sister?" Celestia asked Slushy.

"Alright, let's go see if she's not asleep yet." Slushy replied, leading the Princess off towards Luna's quarters.

Celestia wondered what her sister would be like if her mind was effected by all of this nonsense? She didn't feel all that different herself, but clearly she had resisted the spell somewhat, if Luna hadn't then would she be more... Infantile? The two of them came closer to Luna's room, her guards standing outside the door, and somepony else just exiting the room, a unicorn with a white coat and a blue mane and tail with black streaks going through both. Her mane was tied in two pigtails and her tail was quite short, a pony Celestia didn't know, but Slushy seemed to as the mare went up and spoke to her.

"Luna asleep?" Slushy asked.

"Yes, I changed her diaper and she went right to sleep, why, do you need something?" The mare asked, looking to Slushy, and then Celestia.

Slushy turned towards Celestia saying. "Well, Celestia wanted to see her sister."

"Though it is not so important as to wake her up." Celestia said.

Both of the other mares nodded. The strange mare began trotting away.

"Well have a nice day." The mare says to Slushy and Celestia.

"You too Flurrie!" Slushy replies, letting Celestia know the mares name was Flurrie.

The fact that Luna was asleep meant that her sister was most certainly under the spell that had all affected them, a worrying development, but not the most shocking. Celestia would need to figure out what to do, but she knew her duties as ruler would keep her busy, she would have to keep up appearances after all, lest somepony realize she was acting out of order.

"Well Princess, what would you like to do now?" Slushy asked her.

"I presume we should be heading to court yes?" Celestia said, wondering why Slushy wasn't just taking her there.

"No no Princess, that's not until the afternoon, your morning is open to do what you wish." Slushy told her, much to Celestia's confusion.

"But, what of the various solicitations?" Celestia pondered aloud, genuinely baffled.

"Princess, all of those complaints get funneled through the committee first! Don't you remember? Why, it would just be silly to let anypony in to see the Princess over any little thing." Slushy told her. "No no, the real issues are sorted through in the morning and the big ones are passed onto you in the afternoon."

"Right right.. Mm.." Celestia realized this would be very helpful, though the existence of another governing body was one for alarm, it would give her time to figure out what was going on, maybe figure out what was up with this spell. Perhaps she could contact Twilight or Cadance, see just how far reaching this was. Perhaps only those in Canterlot were affected?

"I believe I shall head to the library." Celestia told Slushy.

Slushy merely nodded and went along with Celestia, the two of them heading to the library. The halls were mostly empty now, with the bustle of breakfast dealt with, other members of staff were getting down to the boring work of dealing with nobles and other ponies that had concerns. Something Celestia wasn't entirely against having a separate group deal with, but ultimately it was neither here nor there. Most ponies who came to petition her saw just how long it took to be seen, so most ponies who didn't have legitimate concerns often didn't want to waste their time, while others who didn't care how legitimate their concerns were, could be swayed to not waste their time when they realized they'd be taking up Celestia's own time with something silly. Which other ponies would certainly not let them forget any time soon, the gossip mills had their affect on keeping ponies from being too frivolous in her presence.

Celestia went into the library and found herself some place to sit, Slushy came with her standing nearby. Nopony else was there except for one aged librarian at a desk. Now came another issue, could Celestia get away with researching with Slushy so close? Would the mare be suspect of Celestia searching up spells she knew she couldn't cast with the ring on? "Slushy, could you get me a snack while I read?" Celestia asked of her handler.

"Of course Princess!" Slushy replied, cheerful as ever.

The mare left the library for the time being, leaving Celestia alone with the elderly librarian. Celestia went and grabbed a few books, a couple boring novels along with one more interesting book on the concept of memory spells, just in case Slushy did think it was odd, Celestia would just say she grabbed it by mistake. It was certainly odd using her hooves to grab at the books, she managed to stop herself from simply trying to levitate them, as she knew it wouldn't work.

Books at the ready she began to delve into one about memory magic, there were a few avenues to look at after all, she started with memory as that was the easiest magic to do, comparatively anyways, the alternate options being things that relied on the manipulation of time to get them to this point, and there were very few ponies that could accomplish that with or without help. Celestia didn't get very far into her research though before Slushy returned, at which point she swapped to one of the fiction books. Slushy had brought a small plate of cookies, and a tea tray, wheeling it all in on a small serving cart. Just like with breakfast Slushy simply fed both the cookies and the tea to Celestia.

Celestia wasn't even reading the book, she was making sure that it looked like she was reading it, absently munching on cookies and sipping on tea as it was set in front of her, but she was really thinking about who could have done this, the obvious answer was Discord. The problem was, this didn't seem like a Discord issue, Discord liked his chaos to be showy and dramatic, something like this where everypony was acting like it was normal, that didn't sit right with her. If it was a prank by Discord at her own expense, that could be more likely, but still a bit out of his usual field of humor. Perhaps if she spoke of him he would show himself and dismiss this whole thing for her? Yes, he had gotten her, good good, now can things go back to normal already?

"Slushy, do you perhaps know of Discord?" Celestia asked, making idle small chat, knowing that if Discord was behind this, he would certainly be watching this conversation.

"Discord? That sounds familiar, but no, I do not know of any Discord, are they a friend of yours?" Slushy said, prompting slight surprise from Celestia, though she didn't show it.

Would Discord have removed himself from the other ponies minds for this? Perhaps she was correct in thinking it would be so on the nose that anypony who could remember Discord would instantly know that all of this was a fabrication of his for mere japes.

"Discord, god of chaos and disharmony?" Celestia said, gauging Slushy's reaction further.

"Oh yes! The god of chaos. You've been reading the myths again haven't you Princess. I do wonder if he ever was real." Slushy stated.

"A myth.. You mean you don't think Discord is real?" Celestia asked, concern growing in her mind.

"Oh well, maybe that Discord is a representation of all forms of chaos in some fashion, but as an actual creature? I'm sorry Princess, I do not think he exists." Slushy told her.

That was a bit baffling to Celestia, in fact she could feel a slight headache coming on as she pondered it. Discord removing himself from their memories would be one thing, but to leave himself and convince ponies he was merely a legend? Everypony knew who Discord was after his release, for better or worse. The concern in her mind grew, perhaps time travel had been the cause of things? She needed to see something. Shutting her book she stood up, she'd already polished off all the cookies and tea.

"Slushy, can we go out to the gardens?" Celestia asked, more rhetorically as she was already on the move.

"Sure Princess! It is a rather nice day today, not too hot for summer." Slushy replied, merely leaving the cart behind and heading with Celestia.

Celestia trotted along through her castle, she needed to see something in the gardens to verify her suspicions. Her headache was only growing worse and she even began to feel a little sweaty, though there was a slight feeling of relief mixed in there, wait a minute.

Celestia very nearly stopped moving, slowed for a moment, but then kept going. She was peeing! Somehow she hadn't noticed it until just now, but she could feel the wetness around her flank, though it wasn't staying, the diaper was soaking it up, leaving her with a hot and moist feeling without too much of the actual wetness. She couldn't see, but her diaper was taking a somewhat yellow hue as her bladder emptied. If Slushy noticed, she didn't say anything either. Celestia tried her best to stop urinating on the way to the gardens, but nothing she did seemed to abate her stream, which continued until she left the castle! Despite peeing so much, her diaper didn't seem all that worse for wear, it had sucked up her urine, expanding a bit, and Slushy wasn't concerned. She could ask for a change later though, she needed to know.

Stepping through the gardens she moved through them on a mission, heading right to the statue. Except it wasn't there. Celestia was standing where the statue of Discord was supposed to be, and sure, Discord was no longer imprisoned there, but the base of the statue remained, mostly as a reminder, and partially because Celestia thought it was humorous, but even the base wasn't there, in fact there was no sign of a statue ever being there, and by now her head was starting to pound furiously, it felt like it was tingling as well.

Had Discord gone back in time and altered history to be this way? Just what had changed entirely, would Twilight and Cadance also be fitted with these rings? Celestia began to feel dizzy and faint, swaying slightly where she stood.

"Goodness.." Slushy said from behind Celestia, the sound of the mare backing off could be heard.

Celestia stared at the empty patch of grass where the statue once stood, her head was aching, her mind was racing, it was getting hard to think clearly.

In that moment, Celestia felt something. Something deep within her gut, a slight gurgle of her belly, a bloating of her bowels. Feeling so distraught and disheveled, Celestia didn't even care as she purposely let the feeling building inside of her release willingly. What she expected was a burst of flatulence to issue from her backside, what she got was much worse.

Her diaper seemed to balloon, yes, balloon outwards, completely rounded, it didn't sag down though, mere moments after that happened a thick green fog began to escape out the hems of her diaper, out of the tail hole, it all leaked into the open air, surrounded Celestia with a vile smelling odor that reminded her of her filthy diaper prior, only without that odd sense of comfort that came with it. She could feel the fog rushing past her legs, her tail, it was exiting her with such a force that she was surprised her diaper hadn't been blown clean off. Additionally the scent was horrendous, making her gag a little, spluttering a cough as the thick green gas encompassed her completely and eventually it was all she could see! Trying to breath was a nightmare and she did it as little as possible. The lack of air and her splitting headache almost made her want to pass out, thankfully her headache abated not long after, and the fog of green gas eventually dispersed, though not in the way Celestia would have imagined.

Once the fog lifted Celestia could see a group of pegasi, all of whom were wearing protective masks, each of them was holding a cloud, a green cloud, it didn't take her more than a few moments to realize that these pegasi had used the clouds to absorb all of this gas and they were taking it off somewhere. Celestia turned to look back at her diaper, which had green staining around the hems and tail hole where the gas had streamed out and still had lines of visible gas trailing off of it. Celestia began to feel deeply embarrassed, but what had just happened?!

The sound of hooves had Celestia turn her head towards the noise, Slushy was back, smiling at Celestia.

"Thank goodness were were outside, that magical accident would have been far more annoying to deal with indoors." Slushy stated, again, as if this was a normal occurrence.

Celestia could only stare at the mare with wide eyes as she asked. "Magical accident?"
