The Pamper Express

Chapter 6: Mi Amore

The gentle crackling of a fireplace rang about the room. The soft orange glow of the flames danced happily along the walls. The sound of liquid swishing into a glass rang out as a light pink lady with dark purple and yellow hair sat comfortably on a red velvet chair.

A bright yellow crown with blue encrusted gems lining the rim sat atop her head. A flowing pink dress coated her figure.

Along the wall sat hundreds of paintings detailing memories passed and a Care Giver stood stoically at the back of the room ready to answer the lady's every whim.

"You know," the lady said with a nostalgia-laced tone, "I remember when Celly took that picture." She gestured to a painting on the wall that detailed two tall ladies with wings and royal attire with a smaller girl between them waving happily. The smaller girl had a particularly broad smile adorning her features.

"She was always the sentimental type," The lady took a sip of her wine and swished the liquid about in her mouth savoring the taste. "I'm sure Twily appreciated it at the time."

The Care Giver nodded silently.

At this, the conversation died and the pair sat in silence.

The crackling of the fireplace continued on as the warm glow continued to swirl about the wall. The Care Giver glanced about the room noting the set of familiar paintings and photographs they'd observed so many times before. A gentle slurping sound echoed through the room as the pink lady took another sip from her glass.

A question began to form in the Care Givers mind, one they had been meaning to ask the lady for a few months now. "If I may Princess Cadance-" The care Giver paused as the Princess froze mid-action. Perhaps they shouldn't continue, but their curiosity was more powerful than their fear at this point.

"-Why did you do it?" The Care Giver finished with a slight tilt of their head.

At this Cadance sighed, "You mean subjugate Equestria?" The princess asked as she set her wine glass down on a nearby wooden table.

The Care Giver nodded.

"What do you know of Princess Celestia Care Giver?" Cadance asked as she leaned back in her chair and scanned the wall of paintings and photographs again.

"She is the ruler of Pamperlot and the princess of potty pamps!" The Care Giver recited almost automatically.

Cadance laughed and let out a humor-filled sigh. "Yes yes of course that's what she is now." She said with a dismissive hand-wave, "But what you don't know, is that she was also a fool."

The Care Giver gained a questioning look as they raised their eyebrow. "What do you mean Your Highness?"

Cadance let out a hollow laugh, "There was a time when Celestia was much different than she is now. A time when she was permitted to rule this land."

The Care Giver let out a shocked gasp at this, "Surely not!"

"Indeed," Cadance replied with a nod, "It's true, Equestria lacked any of the care programs it has today, and the citizens were allowed to navigate life without any supervision! Can you imagine that?"

The Care Giver shook their head in disbelief. "How awful..."

"It was! But what made it worse, was her." Cadane said with a low growl as she pointed at a portrait of the once-great ruler. "She was so naive, so off-hand with the leadership of her people! Constantly sending them off into danger, failing to warn them of ancient evils she had unleashed eons ago! And entrusting the security of our nation to six under-prepared girls!" Cadane huffed, yanked her wine glass off the table, and gulped down what precious liquid remained.

"All the times she had me worried sick, the way she treated her citizens as second class, preaching that every problem could be solved with friendship! Lies!" Cadance spat as she waved her empty wine glass around in the air. "But after she allowed a bug to invade my wedding and she was useless in stopping it. That's when I had enough."

Cadance's voice was growing with intensity the more she spoke causing the Care Giver to shrink in her presence. Cadance's face contorted into a grimace as she lightly slammed her glass back onto the table.

"The only way to protect your citizens is to care about them," Cadance said stoutly. "Provide them all the care they could ever want, and NEVER let them out of your sight! We, I know what's best for my citizens and I will always take care of their every need."

The Care Giver let out a squeak of fear as Cadance stood from her chair and wandered over to the paintings.

"The same notion can be applied to national threats~" Cadance continued as a devious smirk crawled its way onto her face. "Villians, evildoers, you name it, are typically created by lack of care from others~ so we inject them with care!" Cadance said happily as her features softened and she turned to address the Care Giver properly.

"We will provide the care Celestia did not," Cadance said softly, "We will show them all what it means to have a loving mother, a Care Giver who is always by your side and will never forsake you. I have created a paradise that no one wishes to leave." The princess let out a content sight.

"Isn't that wonderful? That is the reason I did what I did Care Giver. And look around you!" Cadance said gesturing around the room. "Look how much happier everyone is! How safe we all are now! Ponies, Villains, Changelings, and Diamond Dogs are all living together in harmony! What were once massive threats to Equestria now embrace the Care Giver program with open arms and live happily amongst us!" Cadence giggled as waved her arms about the room.

"Not even Celestia could manage that~"

The Care Giver's fear had morphed into awe as the princess's inspirational speech had progressed. Whenever the Care Giver began to doubt its purpose, or the reasons behind it and the program's creation. Princess Cadance always found a way to remind it of why she was the one in charge. As the princess's passionate speech concluded, all the Care Giver could do was clap.

Cadence gave the Care Giver a curt bow before she returned to her chair.

"Now then," she said with a soft clap. "You have a report for me?"

"Huh" The Care Giver responded confused, the question having ripped it from its awe-inspired trance. "Oh! Y-yes Your Majesty." It said as it reached into its pocket and procured a scroll. It then rushed over to Cadance's chair, kneeled next to it, and presented it to her.

"Thank you Care Giver." Cadancec responded with a soft smile as she took the scroll from the Care Givers hands and unfurled it. The Care Giver smiled from the approval and returned proudly to its post at the edge of the room. Cadance mumbled quietly to herself as she read the scroll and her soft smile slowly morphed into a frown.

"She's already back in rehabilitation again?" Cadance asked with an exacerbated sigh as she sat up in her chair and slammed the scroll against her thigh with a loud slap.

"I'm afraid so Your Majesty." The Care Giver responded with a solemn nod. The poor girl in question had been to rehabilitation 7 times this year alone.

Cadence shook her head, "I swear her program wore off quicker than last time!" She threw an arm up in the air, "Why her and not Twilight?!"

"We don't know your Highness, Twilight responded exceptionally well to the mind dump spell once it was applied to her program and has shown no signs of returning to independence." The Care Giver interjected.

The princess groaned tiredly, "It simply doesn't make sense! Perhaps I should simplify the whole problem and lobotomize her like Luna..."

"Are you sure that would be a good idea, your majesty?" The Care Giver asked. The Princess had made it clear to all of them that the Lobotomy program was a last-ditch resort only used If Littles showed intense resistance to the Care Program. Throwing the option out so blatantly and with such annoyance was unusual for Her Majesty.

Cadance sighed and placed a hand on her forehead. "No, no I'm not. I still firmly believe she can be coerced back into the program without such drastic measures, but I'm running out of options." The princess rubbed her chin thoughtfully with her hand, "I really thought the mind dump spell would solve this."

The pair sat in contemplative silence after this. What could they do? The Care Program rarely had difficulty with pony subjects like this. In fact, most of Equestria hadn't required more than a Level 1 program integration. Level 2 receivers were almost entirely comprised of the changeling population.

Even the Diamond Dogs hadn't required a level 2 integration. They had barely required a level 1 integration. Cases like this, involving a pony subject were most bizarre, no other Little had shown this much resistance to the program, and even fewer had had so many reported cases of recalling memories before their integration into the care program.

After taking some time to calm herself Cadance let out a sigh. "We'll shelve the matter for now but keep me updated on her condition." The Care Giver nodded.

"Now then, is Celly ready for her speech tomorrow?" Cadence asked.

"According to Mrs. Fluttershy, Yes she is Your Majesty."

"Excellent!" The princess responded happily as she stood from her chair and adjusted her dress slightly. The news of Celestia's program completion was the good news she'd needed to start her morning with a bang. "Now if you'll excuse me, I must go check on Shiny and prepare for the ceremony tomorrow." With that Cadance started toward the door.

The Care Giver bowed and proceeded to hold the large door open for the princess with a smile on its face. There was no greater honor.

Trumpets sounded and a chorus of cheers rose up from the crowd as the royal Pamperlot Anthem began to play. A chorus of glockenspiel, xylophones, and toy pianos played along from the ground level as Care Givers and Littles waddled about Pamperlot Square.

Today was a day of festivities and fun as the great diaper wearer Celly was going to give the annual morning messy! Food was plentiful, vendors were everywhere, and pink spirals littered the many banners, signs, and paintings littering the grounds.

The entire square had been converted into a carnival of sorts, strings of multi-colored flags ran across the sky and between buildings as confetti almost constantly rained down from above. It was a paradise of color for any Little. Trixie for her part, could not be more excited as she and Twilight waddled through the festive square. Simple games, blocks, rattles, and bibs were scattered about the space and she was eager to try all of them!

"Arensh you excitedsh Twily!" Trixie shouted at Twilight over the noise, "Wook at all duh fun gemesh we can pwaysh!"

Twilight simply nodded with her usual blank stare as some drool rolled down her chin. The combination of the music, spiral artwork, and symphony of diapers crinkling around them had begun to overload the poor girl's brain. Thinking had always been difficult for Twilight, but the constant crinkling was practically infecting her brain now and she was finding it increasingly challenging to focus on anything the blue-haired girl was telling her.

"Oh oh oh! Look at that one!" Trixie shouted enthusiastically as she gestured to a row of pink cushioned chairs on the grass surrounded by flowers with bright pink screens stationed in front of them displaying a positively mesmerizing image.

Beside the chairs were a small collection of alphabet blocks all stacked wildly out of order accompanied by some different colored shakers and rattles.

"Spiirallshhh...." Twilight droned out as her gaze lazily scanned the fairgrounds.

"Oh is all wooks sos funsh!" Trixie yelled unable to contain her excitement any longer. She grabbed Twilight by the shoulder and dragged the girl toward the blocks.

Twilight babbled and gurgled as she was whisked away.

And so the duo darted between hundreds of games. The Morning Messy only happened once every two months, so Trixie was hellbent on making the most of their time there.

Trixie found that of the two of them, she was the most invested in the games. Twilight had a bad habit of slumping over mid-game and drooling with a blank expression on her face particularly when the games involved any bright lights or pink symbols! Twilight was such a silly girl~

Of the games they played, Stack the spiral block, stare at the Swirlies, kick the Plushie, whack-a-brain, and brain pushers were the best ones! By the time they were done, Trixie had gone from wearing only a diaper to a full-on outfit consisting of a bright pink bonnet, a yellow bib that had the phrase "Good Littles Forgot" plastered on the front of it, and a pink pacifier that was attached to the bib by a plastic strap.

"Wasn't dat super funshies Twily?" Trixie asked as the pair waddled away from a candy store. Trixie was holding a large pink lollipop in her hand.

"Yeesshss~" Twilight responded with a dumb smile as she waddled beside Trixie. "Wusshh funnshh~ wuuvvv spirallsshhh~"

Trixie nodded. "uh huh! They's pwetty to wook at!" Trixie smiled happily as she began to lick away at her lollipop.

A chorus of trumpets interrupted the pair's conversation as a bell rang.

We hope each and every one of you is having a wonderfully mindless time! Princess Celly is about to give the Morning Messy! Please Follow your Care Giver to the main staging area! Thank you!

With another ring the announcement ended and Care Givers around the fairgrounds began to usher the attendees toward the square once again. Twilight was the first to be grabbed by a Care Giver followed by a few other girls around them.

But Trixie was left alone, as she often was. Perhaps because she could still waddle about fairly easily by herself, but she was rarely escorted around at such events. Usually, she ended up right where she needed to be without much thought.

It was while she waddled toward the central square that a thought began to bubble up inside her. During the excitement of the Morning Messy and a day of fun games, she'd completely forgotten Starlight wasn't with them anymore. Where had the Care Givers taken her? And why was she missing out on such an important day?

The gentle hiss of a train stopping rang through the station. The Pamper Express had returned somewhat prematurely as the direct order of the Princess. After a few seconds, the train doors flew open revealing Princess Cadance and a drooling pink unicorn girl. The princess had a soft smile on her face as she wheeled the girl out of the train and onto the platform proper.

"I do wish you could've been more like Twilight, Starlight," Cadence said as the pair descended the ramp leading out of the station. The train whistle sounded as the Pamper Express departed. "But you were causing me so much grief!"

Starlight smiled dumbly at the mention of her name and babbled as Cadence continued, "I really tried everything, spells, levels of care, even experimental programs! But you just couldn't be a good Little could you?~"

"Bwaaaahhh!" Starlight gurgled happily as she flopped around in the wheelchair. A waterfall of drool poured down the girl's face

"But it's alright~ I finally found the perfect treatment for you~" Cadence finished as she gave Starlight a light poke on the forehead with her finger.

The duo continued in a silence that was occasionally broken by a babble or gurgle from Starlight. The treatment had worked perfectly. Cadence could hear the thunderous cheers and applause coming from Pamperlot Square. It was almost time for the ceremony to start.

She wheeled Starlight through the now-empty confetti-covered fairgrounds and into the central square propper. A massive crowd of people greeted them as Cadence stopped pushing the wheelchair and surveyed the crowd looking for two ponies in particular.

Luckily she quickly found who she was looking for. With a nod and a soft smile on her face, she resumed pushing the wheelchair.

The pair weaved through the crowd as confetti flew into the air and trumpets sounded. Littles from all across Equestria dance about in their frilly little outfits, rattles waved frantically about and the sound of diaper crinkles competed with the music for space.

Eventually, the pair burst through a particularly thick section of Littles and found themselves right next to Trixie and Twilight.

"Starwight!" The blue-haired girl practically screeched over the noise as Cadence wheeled the girl into view. Trixie wasted no time running up to her friend and giving her a bone-crushing hug.

Twilight mostly ignored Trixie as she stared up at where Celly would stand and give her speech.

Starlight let out a gurgle of surprise from the sudden contact but otherwise said nothing. A devilish smirk wormed its way onto Cadence's face as she watched Starlight flail dumbly about in her chair.

"Starwight?" Trixie repeated confused after receiving no verbal response. She pulled back from her hug and noticed a strange marking running across Starlight's forehead and the stream of drool running down the girl's face.

"Are yous okay starwy?" Trixie asked again as she tilted her head utterly bewildered.

Starlight once again said nothing.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Sweetie." Mamma's voice cut through Trixie's confusion as she realized who the person pushing the wheelchair was.

"M-Mamma?! Wush are you doingsh heres?" Trixie asked in surprise.

"Oh nothing major, I'm just returning your friend to you, Trixie~" Mamma said with a melodic giggle as she gestured to Starlight. "Although I hope you are patient with her, she's been through quite a bit recently~"

Trixie's eyes widened with realization. "Ooooooooooh! Okay!" She said as her confused expression morphed into an excited one. She would have to treat her friend delicately at least for today.

Mamma giggled and gave Trixie a few pats on the head. "Make sure to take good care of her mkay?~"

"Uh-huh! Uh-huh!" Trixie responded with an enthusiastic nod.

Just then the trumpets sounded again as the confetti stopped and a bright spotlight flickered to life facing the royal balcony. Trixie, Twilight, and the rest of the crowd went silent as they turned their attention to the balcony just in time to watch Princess Celly waddle into view.

Cadence used the momentary distraction to slip back into the crowd and disappear.

"P-pwincessh~" Twilight murmured to herself as she observed what Princess Celly was wearing. A bright white and gold colored diaper was wrapped snuggly around the princess's waist, a gold and white bib that had the phrase "#1 Princess" plastered to the front was wrapped proudly around Celly's neck, and a tall white-cone dunce cap was atop her head.

A deafening chorus of applause and approving babbles erupted from the crowd as the princess surveyed her subjects with a glassy vacant look in her eyes, a wide smile on her face, and a clear mark on her forehead.

Celly waited patiently for the applause to die down before she puffed out her chest and spoke.

"Ish my Honor todaysh, ta present wit chus the annual Morning Messy!" She slurred as some drool leaked from the corner of her mouth.

"For censhuries we has beens under da watchfulsh eyesh of the gweat pwincesh Mamma!"

A few babbles of approval and some head nods from the crowd accompanied this statement.

"Shesh shoulds ush the powersh of diapees! And howsh valuable they'sh ares for evrwy citizensh including pwincesshes wike me!" Celly babbled happily as she gestured to her diaper with a free hand. A small wave of cheers erupted from the crowd but quickly died down so Celestia could continue.

"Nowsh, after a daysh of funsh and swirliesh, it'sh my honorsh to pwesent, the mowning messy!"

The crowd exploded into cheering once again as Celestia waddled to the edge of the balcony and gestured lazily to her citizens with a hand.

"Nowsh everyone, pweash joinsh me! Spread your legs and Hnngggg!" Celestia gurgled happily as she spread her legs and crouched down as low as she could with a loud grunt.

Twilight let out a babble of joy as she spread her legs apart and crouched down just as Princess Celly had instructed. Trixie babbled excitedly before doing the same and soon every Little in the crowd followed suit. The familiar haze flooded Twilight's mind as her face scrunched up and she pushed.

A small wave of grunts and crinkles emitted from the crowd as they all followed Celly's instruction.

Celestia grunted more as her fingers balled up into a fist and she pushed harder letting out a series of grunts. "Hnngggsh! Pushies as hards ash you cansh!" Celly shouted into the crowd as she neared a state of release.

Finally, after a few more seconds of grunting, a chorus of Blorts, Blarrgghhhs, and crinkles rang out as every Little present voided their thoughts into their diaper. Twilight and Trixie both moaned in bliss as they felt the backs of their diapers balloon out in sweet relief. A powerful odor rose up as everyone in the crowd slumped over in mindless bliss.

The Care Givers rushed to start changing them all before they boarded the Pamper Express for home. The now completely blank and drooling Princess Celly was dragged off of the balcony and carried back into the palace.

Starlight gurgled with joy as a warm mushy sensation pressed itself against her rear. She had never felt more at ease in her life. Gone were her dangerous thoughts, her worries, and her independence. Her mind was now an empty void of nothing.

The trumpets sounded one final time signaling the end of the Morning Messy as the Care Givers began to clear everyone out.

Starlight and her wheelchair were quickly snatched up by a Care Giver who began the journey back toward the train station. Starlight loved obeying Mommy, She loved being mindless, and she loved messing herself silly!

Starlight was a good little. Good Littles obey, good Littles relax, and good Littles forget.
