First Floor

On the alpine fields of the northlands there stood a tower, pearl white and pristine. No one could say where it came from or what its purpose was, but all kinds of rumors cropped up the moment the structure was rediscovered.

It was said to be ancient, older than the very rocks around it.

It was said to be enchanted by a powerful sorceress to trap wandering souls.

It was said it shifted to a new location every hundred years.

It was said it was built as a last refuge, meant to hide a forgotten empire’s most treasured secrets.

It was said that its steps count differently for each visitor. Some finding it endless, others too short.

All that Wisp Tallow knew was Captain Shining Armor had gone missing and all clues were pointing towards this mysterious tower.

Corporal Wisp Tallow was an organized unicorn. He was precise, dedicated, and had a natural talent in logistics and strategy. His coat was a soft, muted blue which he often brushed neatly along with his short, inky blue mane. He rose through the ranks because he wasn’t afraid to put in the office work. If there was ever any paperwork that needed to be filed or roster that needed ordering, he would gladly work the extra hours to ensure everything was neat and orderly. He was a bookish unicorn, analytical and steady, and this was his first commanding assignment.

Tallow had prepped heavily for this assignment, despite it being so sudden. He came dressed - albeit over so - in his finely polished Crystal Empire armor and a saddle bag of equipment hastily grabbed from the Crystal Castle armory. With the bag of goodies on his back, he felt he could take on any obstacle now.

He only wished he was assigned guards who were a bit more... reliable.

Fable Flare and Valor Breeze were inseparable, pegasi cut from the same quilt it seemed. They were childhood friends and had grown up with the kind of bond that meant they rarely made a decision without the other. So, when one decided to join the Royal Crystal Guard, the other naturally followed suit. But that was about where the similarities ended.

For starters, Fable Flare was fairly a head shorter than Breeze, wiry, and had a warm, amber-orange coat that seemed to gleam in any light as a result of him being one fourth crystal pony on his mother’s side. He had a dark red mane which fell loose in slightly unkempt waves around his head. He had a clever mind, a crafty tool that was often utilized in what he liked to call “creative truth telling”. He was a weaver of stories, a teller of tall tales, and all this bardic knowledge was often honed for one purpose: getting out of work. He had earned himself a reputation as the guard who could slip out of just about any duty he didn’t want.

Valor Breeze was taller, more solidly built, and had a slate blue coat. His mane was a muted silver-gray, windswept and rugged. He was, well, he wasn’t the most reliable guard. Naturally he genuinely believed in the values of the Crystal Guard: honor, duty, and courage, yet he often struggled to live up to them when his own comfort was at stake. He’d put in his hours, patrol the grounds, and practice formations, but once he felt he’d “earned” a rest, all bets were off. Breeze wasn’t above skipping out early or accepting a little bribe for a well-placed favor. He saw it as balancing the scales. Afterall why shouldn’t he reward himself for a job well done?

Together, they made for an oddly complementary pair. Fable was the sly one, the brains behind their shortcuts and “efficient” approaches, while Breeze was the muscle, willing to follow along so long as he saw some benefit. Fable’s charm was a handy way to smooth over Breeze’s blunders, and Breeze’s presence gave Fable a solid excuse to stay out of any solo assignments. Whether by mutual encouragement or shared laziness, the two had managed to dodge countless assignments and slip through the cracks of the Guard’s high standards. If asked, they’d both say it was their friendship that kept them going; after all, no assignment could be too terrible if they faced it together or managed to wiggle out of it with a cleverly constructed creative truth.

Being assigned under Wisp Tallow’s command was sadly a fluke that neither of them saw coming, but they just hoped this was going to be a simple rescue mission. A simple, no-frills kind of mission. Two, three hours tops.

“You don’t think he’s actually inside then, do you?” Breeze asked, tentatively glancing up at the vaulted doorway that stood before them. A magenta glow poured beyond the cracked open door.

“I don’t like this...” Fable added, feeling kind of uneasy himself.

“Well we can’t return without him,” Tallow said in his best commanding voice, “The Princess would have our heads!”

“You’re not suggesting we go in there, are you?” Breeze said.

“You have a better idea?” Fable asked, ”Cause we spent the last six hours searching everywhere for him but inside.”

“Yeah...I agree, it’s our best option.” Tallow added.

“In you go!” Fable exclaimed, shoving the other pegasus forward.

“W-Wait, don’t push me!”

“Oh calm down, we’re right behind you.”

And in the three went.

The room glowed with burning torches of bright magenta magefire, lighting up the area with a soft glow. Surrounding them was a wide open room paved with stone brick. The masonry was as flawless as it was on the outside with barely a visible seam between the large slabs of pearly white stone that made up the floors and walls and ceiling of this place. The wide expanse was only broken up by the ring of support columns, decorated with golden sconces and curved up at the top to meet the smooth stone ceiling.

“Captain?! Are you in here?!” Tallow called out.

“If he was he would have seen us by now,” Fable said, scanning the open room as he trotted deeper in, “there’s nowhere to hide in here.”

“Why would he wander off if he was trapped in here?” Breeze asked as the trio moved in, “I would have stayed put.”

“I would have looked for a way out.” Fable added.

“The Captain m-might have...climbed the tower to that window we saw,” Tallow then added, trekking further across the room.

As if on cue there was the low creak of heavy metal hinges.

“The door!” Breeze exclaimed, charging back towards the closing entrance where the beam of daylight was slowly thinning.

Fable ran after him, but it was already too late. By the time the two got there, the door was gone, leaving behind a seamless stone as if the opening never existed in the first place. A deafening thud sounded through the room, sealing them inside. In a blink of an eye, the three were trapped.

“We’re trapped!” Fable shouted.

“We’re locked in!” Breeze added.

“I knew this was a bad idea! I knew coming in here without backup was a bad idea! I KNEW this was gonna happen!

“Th-that’s enough, private!” Tallow barked, “we’ll be fine i-if we don’t panic.”

“Don’t panic?” Fable scoffed, “how are we supposed to rescue the Captain if we can’t even rescue ourselves?!”

“W-we’ll figure it out! Just remember your training!” Tallow barked back, trying his hardest to take his own advice, “let’s just...take in our surroundings. Wh-what else we got in this room?”

“Nothing,” Fable scoffed as he scanned the room a second time, “there’s nothing in here except stone and columns...oh and that door.”

Looking across the room, a single door could be seen, the only one present. It was a wooden door made of an unmoving oak barred with gold. It looked heavy, but that didn’t stop Fable from charging at it and ramming into it with a shoulder.

To no surprise, the door didn’t budge and Fable accomplished nothing but bruising his shoulder. “It won’t open!” he informed the group.

“How did the Captain manage to get through...get through a locked door?” Tallow wondered out loud, “th-there’s no handle, no lock, no knob-”

“Can’t you just blast it open with your magic?” Fable interrupted.

Tallow paused. “...my magic isn’t that kind of m-magic. If there was some sort of... some sort of locking mechanism or mortise set, I...might be able to make some...some headway, b-but it would seem there m-might be more to this room we’re not seeing.”

“Would it have anything to do with this plaque?” Breeze called out from across the room.

The pegasus stood near the center where a podium of white stone rose from the ground. On top of the podium waited three neatly folded diapers. They were thick and snowy white and were clearly sized to fit adult ponies. At the base of the podium was a gold plaque with neat, but fanciful writing carved into it.

“What’s it say?” Fable asked as the three converged on the podium.

To follow the leader, take heed,

For a new set of clothes you will need.

If you wish to pass through,

Wear the look tried and true

Then the doorway will grant you the lead.

“Follow the leader?” said Fable.

“New set of clothes?” said Breeze.

In unison, their three sets of eyes were drawn over to the diapers that sat on the podium.

“No way,” Fable said firmly.

“This place is clearly arcane in n-nature...” thought Tallow as he tapped his chin, “the magefire, the lockless door, the podium...”

“No way.”

“It’s n-not too unreasonable that it’s...that it’s passages would be magically triggered,” Tallow continued, now pacing around the podium in thought, “p-perhaps the writing is suggesting we-”

“There’s no WAY I’m putting on a diaper!” Fable exclaimed, “maybe the poem is talking about something else! Maybe it’s just there to throw us off! How do we know playing dress up will even do anything?!”

“P-put on the diaper, private,” something Tallow never thought he’d find himself saying, “th-that’s an order! We’re on a rescue mission, p-private. Every second we waste here risks losing the Captain.” Worry could be heard in his voice as he tried not to think what terrible fate might have befallen Captain Shining Armor. He puffed out his chest a tiny bit, hoping this would somehow make his presence more commanding. ”As your... as your c-commanding officer I order you to put on the diaper.”

Breeze snorted, “Yeah, because wearing a diaper is the answer to everything!”

Tallow deflated, “w-we don’t have time to argue! I-if you two are unwilling to wear one... th-then I will!”

Before either Fable or Breeze could protest further, Tallow was already removing his armor and saddlebags. He stepped out of his boots, removed his helmet, and then carefully unbuckled every section of his pristine armor one-by-one, placing all of it in a neat pile by the podium.

The thought did occur to him that with some careful maneuvering and help from his magic, he could have simply slipped the padding right underneath his armor. Afterall, the diapers weren’t that thick. But he felt anything worth doing was worth doing right.

He instead reached out with his magic, carefully lifting one of the diapers off the podium in a mint colored glow. He held it up, staring at it as if it were a rare artifact, and took a deep breath. “This is f-for the mission. F-for the Captain.”

He unfolded the diaper with care, giving it a light shake to let the padding fully expand. A fresh, powdery, floral scent gently wafted off the padding. After aligning it with utmost precision, he wrapped it around his waist. He adjusted each side meticulously, smoothing out any uneven surfaces with delicate magical nudges. Then he secured the tapes with exacting precision, ensuring they were straight, symmetrical, and perfectly sealed. Not content with a simple fit, he even tugged gently at the waistband to make sure it hugged his waist snugly, as though preparing for an inspection.

“There,” he said, his cheeks tinted pink as he straightened up, clearing his throat. “See? It’s... it’s not so bad.”

Still the other two ponies remained firm. Silence fell over the room as they looked at Tallow, each other, and then the diapers on the podium. Both of them knew deep down that this was somehow the only way forward, no matter how ridiculous it seemed, but neither of them wanted to take the first step.

After a long stretch of nothing, it was Breeze that cracked first with a groan and a roll of his eyes. “Fine, fine. But I’m not going to like it.”

Reluctantly, he started removing his armor, though unlike Tallow, he didn’t take his time. There was no meticulous unbuckling of belts or careful stacking of each piece in a neat pile. He undressed like he would at the end of a long shift. It was quick, sloppy, and made his commanding officer wince as he did it. The process was marked by a cacophony of clanging metal as his armor hit the stone floor in an unceremonious heap.

Once free of the cumbersome gear, he grabbed one of the remaining diapers and held it up for a moment. It was lighter than he’d expected, the softness catching him off guard with an almost soothing quality. Letting out a deep sigh, he began the awkward task of putting it on.

It turned out to be trickier than he anticipated. The tapes didn’t cooperate, and his hooves fumbled as he tried to get everything in place. After a few moments of awkward adjusting and grumbling however, he finally got it on. The fit wasn’t perfect - slightly loose around the waist and the tapes were uneven - but it was good enough for now.

“F-Fable, you too,” Tallow ordered.

“No way!” Fable shouted, “I don’t care if you ARE my commanding officer. There’s NO WAY I’m putting on a diaper!”

“Fable, come on,” Breeze added.

“No. Way! You can’t make me!”

As the three bickered, the metal writing on the plaque began to morph.

If you choose to resist this attire,

Your discomfort will surely grow dire.

For each no that you say,

More layers will stay,

Till you’re wrapped up in fluff you’ll perspire!

The new poem practically went completely unnoticed as Fable remained stubborn and firm on his decision. The other ponies tried their best to make him see reason, but before he could voice another protest, an odd, tingling magic filled the room. The air shimmered faintly as the diapers began to expand, slowly but steadily, like marshmallows roasting over a campfire.

At first, the change was subtle. The padding doubled in thickness, nudging Tallow’s and Breeze’s back legs apart ever so slightly.

Then they were thrice as thick, forcing their thighs to splay wide, rendering a normal stance impossible. Walking now required a pronounced waddle, each movement hindered by the increasingly cumbersome bulk..

At six times the thickness, standing became a painful ordeal.

Before long, the diapers were so enormous and so thick that the padding touched the ground, nearly lifting them off their hooves.

Tallow, ever the determined leader, clung to his authority. "F-Fable! I... I order you to put on the diaper!"

Fable crossed his forehooves, his voice stubbornly firm despite the chaos. “There’s no way-”

“C-come on, Fable!” Breeze interrupted with a strained groan. “I won’t even be able to move if this gets any thicker!”

Fable groaned back, eyeing the oversized, pillowy diaper on the podium with barely concealed dread. The diaper only inflated more as he glared at it. His gaze shifted to Tallow and Breeze who were now slowly lifting off the ground like they were laying on a pair of bean bag chairs. It was clear there was no other way forward so, reluctantly, Fable reached out, pulling the massive diaper off the podium.

The diaper slid down to the ground like a fluffy mattress, rustling loudly as he heaved it into place. His armor was kicked off haphazardly, flung in all sorts of directions as he stared at the massive diaper. The padding had grown to a comically large size at this point and it was a struggle just to unfold it. It was like wrestling a puffy cloud made of plastic and this cloud was only getting bigger the more time he wasted. Sitting on it left him floating several inches off the ground, forcing him to strain and stretch to reach the tapes.

After what felt like an eternity of fumbling, retrying, and muttering curses under his breath, he finally managed to secure the diaper around his waist. Exhausted and flushed with embarrassment, he flopped onto the ground, his legs rendered useless by the ridiculous bulk.

Covered in sweat, he flopped to the ground. “There. Satisfied?” he muttered, his cheeks flushed as his legs wiggled uselessly among the enormous diaper.

After a few more moments, the tingling magic faded away and the diapers stopped inflating. For a moment or two more the three held their breath. And then, crinkling all the way, the diapers started to deflate, allowing the three to stand on their own four feet once more.

The three guards shared a sigh of relief, but none of them wanted to point out that the diapers were still twice as thick as they were originally. In fact, none of them really wanted to acknowledge any of what just happened. Like awkward preteens in the shower room, they did everything they could to avoid looking below the waist.

Again, Breeze was the first to speak up, “...so how long we gotta wear these?”

“The plaque doesn’t say...” Tallow said.

Once again, the room seemed to react to thematic cues and the heavy door against the wall clicked loudly and slowly swung open. Beyond stretched a staircase going upwards.

“Finally!” Fable exhaled, immediately reaching for the tapes of his diaper. Only he quickly realized, the same way the other two realized when they tried their own padding, the diaper tapes refused to budge. “You’re KIDDING me!” he shouted. He was on his back now, tugging and clawing at the unyielding diaper around his waist.

“We’re stuck in these diapers now?!” Breeze groaned, tugging at his own diaper.

“Hm, perhaps The T-tower is reprimanding us f-for our group in-insubordination...” Tallow thought out loud.

“the tower’s keeping score?!” Fable growled, “what’s even the end goal with that!”

“I don’t know...” Tallow replied, doing his best to keep the peace, “b-but I’m more worried what m-might have happened to The Captain.” He shuddered at the thought and chased it out of his mind as he gathered himself. The armor and saddle bags, although it pained him to make such a decision, would only slow them down and possibly upset the tower... somehow... “C-come on, up those steps!”

And with that he led the charge, his thick diaper butt wagging behind him.

Second Floor

Tallow's charge - although emboldened by the dire need to rescue The Captain at all costs - sadly didn’t last more than fifty feet up the steps. The climb proved to be an exhausting endeavor with such a thick diaper between his legs. Breeze and Fable didn’t fare much better, giving up shortly after and falling into a begrudging waddle behind him. The cramped corridor and low ceiling rendered their wings useless, leaving them grounded and resigned to the slow, awkward ascent.

As the seemingly endless flight of stairs stretched on, Tallow shifted his focus to the staircase itself. Like the rest of the tower, the steps were immaculate, seamlessly white, each one identical to the next. Their perfect spacing and precise rise exuded an almost mathematical harmony. There was something calming about their design, an orderliness that briefly distracted him from the constant, irritating rustle of the diapers with every movement.

He couldn't help but appreciate the craftsmanship. Whoever built this tower, unicorn magic or otherwise, had an eye for detail and precision. Like him. He had to admire the good work despite the circumstances.

Meanwhile, Fable and Breeze didn't waste their time admiring the stairs or their construction. All they cared about at this point was getting the job done. Or at the very least, get out of these diapers.

The diapers.

It was a prominent thought in all three of the stallions’ minds. For one reason or another, it was hard to ignore the thick padding between their legs. The bulk that pushed their back legs apart, the loud crinkling, the soft interior.

The softness.

It was tough to ignore how nice the diapers actually felt despite being an undignified thing for grown stallions to wear. How firmly it hugged their rumps. That subtle swishing sound their tails made when they glided across the plastic exterior. How gently the pillow padding nestled their sensitive stallionhoods...

The next floor, despite being just as big and open as the last, looked more like a children's playroom. Scattered across the polished floor were an assortment of children’s toys: building blocks, plush animals, colorful balls, and pull-along wagons, each casting tiny shadows in the magenta glow of the magefire from mounted torches. A tall crib stood prominently against one side, its polished pale wood gleaming under the soft light. Inside, a quilted mattress covered in pastel patterns of stars and moons added an oddly comforting touch. Nearby, storage containers made of woven wicker and smooth white wood lined the edges, their lids slightly ajar to reveal blankets, picture books, and more toys.

At the center of the room, a low table surrounded by brightly colored chairs held an incomplete puzzle. A rocking horse painted in glossy reds and yellows stood nearby. Along one wall, a large diaper-changing table made of the same polished white wood stood out, its surface cushioned and stocked with neatly folded diapers, powders, and other supplies.

The plaque on the table read out another limerick.

Oh maids, there’s a mess to address,

Your charge has left quite some distress.

So gather your gear,

And show skill, never fear

Time to practice and clean up the rest!

“We’re expected to be maids now?!” Fable scoffed, “who’s trying to get us to clean up after them?!”

He scowled at the room around them. The toys were plentiful and varied, but most of them consisted of dollies and soft stuffed animals and blocks. Pink stuff. Girly stuff. If he had to guess, the mysterious charge this magical tower was expecting them to care for was a girl. And a young one at that. Could it have been that this mysterious little girl was calling all the shots?

“Right then,” Tallow said, lifting a number of bins and storage containers with his magic, “let’s get started. And p-please keep the grumbling to a minimum, Fable...”

“Yeah fine whatever,” Fable rolled his eyes as he grabbed one of the empty bins. “Hey Breeze! Think fast!”

A pink foam block zipped through the air.

“Ow! Watch it!”

“Think fast again!”

Another block, this one a soft shade of purple, flew by as well.

“Quit chucking blocks at me!”

“Quit f-fooling around, you two!” Tallow shouted. For a faint moment, he felt the urge to join in, but instead opted for, ”y-you’re only m-making more messes to clean up.”

Cleaning up the room proved to be a rather relaxing task for the unicorn. He actually enjoyed the chore, methodically placing toys, plushies, and diaper changing supplies into bins, baskets, and shelves. He even organized the toys by type which was something the plaque didn’t require, but it seemed like the proper thing to do. The alternative would have been just tossing the items into whatever crate or container was available, and that felt... wrong. How could you find anything in such a sty?

The other two, however... well, the other two wouldn’t make good maids anytime soon. They spent less time focusing on the task at hoof and more time goofing around. They chattered, laughed, and even tossed around a soft toy or two. Everything eventually ended up in a bin, but not before they were played with a tiny bit or batted across the room like rubber balls.

And then there were the diapers. Beyond the obvious physical obstruction they caused, the padding was now starting to intrude on their thoughts as well. The loud crinkling. The pillowy interior. Not to mention the fact that they were diapers. And if things kept going the way they were, it was almost certain the tower would expect them to...

Focus, Tallow told himself. There was still much more work that needed doing. Focus on the toys.

He kept his eyes glued to the untidy ground in front of him. Wooden blocks were neatly stacked, soft toys expertly tucked away with optimal packing efficiency, books alphabetized. He had to admit they all looked rather fun. If only things weren’t so dire. If only they could spare just five minutes to play.

But no. This was a rescue mission and he was the commanding officer. That meant he had to hold himself up to a high standard, set a prime example to his subordinates, exude confidence and-

“You gonna put the doll away or are you gonna snuggle it some more?” Breeze’s voice cut through Tallow’s daze.

The unicorn blinked and realized that a cuddly wolf plushie had found its way in his arms. He must have idly picked it up with the intent of putting it in its proper bin, but somehow, maybe without him realizing it, he found himself hugging it. Cuddling it even. He feared he was two steps away from chewing on its ear and drooling on it.

“J-just m-making sure it doesn’t have any popped seams!” He stammered out before tossing the toy into a nearby container wooden train track.

“Right...” Breeze replied, ducking moments before another foam block came whizzing through the air.

Eventually, long after Tallow’s optimistic estimates, the room was cleared of toys and supplies. With a grunt of effort, he slid the last box into place along the wall, then stepped back, brushing dust from his hooves. “There,” he said, nodding with satisfaction at the neatly organized space. “Job well done.”

As if in agreement, the tower responded. A low rumble echoed through the room as a stone panel slid aside, revealing yet another staircase spiraling upward.

“That wasn’t so bad,” Tallow said with a hint of pride.

“Sure, if you don’t mind cleaning up after other ponies,” Fable muttered, rolling his eyes. The diapers were already pushing it, now he was expected to do work!

“I just hope the rest are this easy,” Breeze added, though his tone carried more hope than confidence.

And with that, the three waddled onwards.

Third Floor

Another set of steps led the trio spiraling higher up the tower. It was disorienting in a way with how the uniform steps seemed to endlessly climb up and up and up. They must have circled the entire tower before they finally reached an opening.

Mannequins stood in waiting for them when they arrived, scattered around the room and dressed up in a wide variety of outfits from frilly ball gowns to casual sun dresses. Racks of hangers filled with onesies and footed pajamas of all kinds of styles and patterns hugged a wall as well as a couple drawers that no doubt contained all the necessary accessories needed to complete the outfits.

The clothes came in a whole variety of colors. Peaches, pinks, purples, seafoam greens... all such girly colors. Not even a blue one in sight. Not even a baby blue one.

“Creepy,” Fable said, staring at one of the lifeless mannequins.

“It’s like a huge walk-in closet,” Breeze thought out loud.

A plaque in the middle of the room read thus:

Now maids, to look ready and smart,

You’ll each need to dress for your part.

With aprons and frills,

Showcase all of your skills

For a maid’s work begins with her art!

“Oh that’s RICH!” Fable scoffed, “the princess of the tower wants us to play dress-up as well?!”

He was getting sick of all this! He was sick of this princess of the tower toying with them. Sick of her pulling the strings in the background and forcing the group to do her bidding. He hadn’t even met this princess yet and he already hated her.

Tallow stepped closer to the plaque, his brow furrowing. “I-it sounds like another... another trial. If we’re going to progress-”

“Progress?” Fable interrupted, his voice rising. “Progress to WHAT, exactly? Getting made into some kind of royal babysitter for a spoiled, diaper-wearing princess? This is absurd! We’re guards, not-”

“K-keep your voice down!” Tallow hissed, glancing around as if the room itself might react to their defiance.

“I don’t care!” Fable snapped. “This whole place is ridiculous! Diapers, playrooms, and now this? Frilly dresses? Onesies? It’s degrading!”

“Fable-”

“I mean, what’s next? Bibs? Bottles? Are we supposed to curtsy for her too? ‘Oh, Your Highness, would you like another cookie before your nap?’” Fable mocked, dipping his body down in an exaggerated bow.

“That’s ENOUGH!” Tallow barked, his voice sharp enough to make Breeze flinch. He stomped over to Fable, his horn glowing with soft green light. Before the other pony could fire off another retort, he levitated a purple pacifier from one of the nearby drawers and unceremoniously shoved it into Fable’s muzzle.

Fable’s eyes widened in shock as the pacifier’s bulb pressed firmly against his tongue. For a moment, he froze, stunned by the sheer audacity of Tallow’s actions. Then the initial shock faded and he immediately tried to spit the offending object out of his mouth - but it wouldn’t budge.

The pacifier was stuck fast, as if magically glued in place. He grunted and tugged at it with his hooves, his ears pinning back in frustration as he glared at Tallow.

Tallow, equally startled, took a step back. “W-what? I’m not-” He stopped, noticing the faint magical shimmer around the purple pacifier. His cheeks turned a deep shade of crimson. “Oh... oh no. Th-that’s... um... unexpected.”

Fable’s muffled protests grew louder as he furiously yanked at the pacifier again.

“I-I didn’t mean for that to happen!” Tallow stammered, his horn dimming as he waved his hooves in the air. “It must be... Th-the tower’s magic! I just wanted to-” He hesitated, letting out a nervous laugh. “Well... a-at least it’s quiet enough to th-think again.”

Fable shot him a glare that could melt steel, but the pacifier rendered his response unintelligible. The thing made him look like a pouting foal.

They all looked like foals, now that Tallow thought about it. Obviously the diapers knocked decades off their looks, but it was only now did he fully process how they looked, how the diapers felt.

The diapers... weren’t half bad actually. Kind of soft, kind of comfy. The more he thought about the diapers, how they crinkled with every hoofstep, the more he dared to think that the diapers actually felt...kind of good. If he dared more he might even think they felt more than good. More than comfy. They rubbed against him a lot like an ever present pillow tickling his lower half and cushioning everything so delicately. It kind of felt like-

“I think the tower wants us to wear these,” Breeze said as he pushed over a hanger rack with three maid outfits hanging on it, “none of the other clothes seem to even want to come off their hangers.

The maid outfits were as revealing as they were playful, made up primarily of black and white material. The dresses were short and fitted to accentuate the wearer’s figure. They featured puffed sleeves made of lace and a tight waistline that flared out slightly in a short skirt. A white, frilly apron was tied around the waist, completing the look.

“Right...guess we wear those then,” Tallow sighed.

Fable frowned at this, scowled at this. He wasn’t looking forward to it. He was half hoping they could get away with something else. ANYTHING else. Maybe like a t-shirt with a childish logo on it or something. If he wasn’t actively sucking on a pacifier right now he might have had some very loud choice words to say on the matter.

Tallow could hear them now...

“Th-that’s an order, private!” Tallow barked, “don’t make me have to spank you!”

That response caught them both by surprise. The words sort of just came out and hung awkwardly in the air. Tallow didn’t know where the idea even came from, but as he thought more about it the more it felt like spanking would have been a fitting response.

“Yeah...y-you heard me,” Tallow continued after a brief pause, his voice tittering a bit, “misbehave and I’ll spank your padded tush!” The words tingled a bit when he said them. It was kind of fun in a way. “‘Course with diapers so thick I don’t think you’d even feel it! Maybe we’ll put you in timeout or or make you write lines on a chalkboard,” he continued, his voice escalating with each word as if he were trying to outdo himself in how ridiculous the suggestion could get. “I bet if we looked around we’d be able to find a bib and bonnet for you to wear as well!”

“I think he gets the idea, Tallow,” Breeze chimed in.

“Right, y-yeah,” Tallow said after a brief pause. He collected himself and then continued, “l-let’s get dressed.”

He trotted over to the rack and pulled an outfit off its hanger. Well, it was more of a tug. A series of tugs. For a while he struggled with the hanger, shaking the outfit this way and that and failing to navigate the single wire hanger. His face curled up with a huff. And in that brief moment a hint of peculiar frustration flashed across his face.

Breeze recognized that kind of frustration. It was the same flavor of frustration that his little cousin would display when it was past his bedtime and he was told to put his toys away. It was a short fused, immature kind of frustration, complete with little huffs of air and a pouting lip when things weren’t going his way. The only thing was, his little cousin was like three and Tallow... Tallow wasn’t acting himself lately. Maybe he was getting over-tired too.

Maybe the burden of command was starting to take its toll on the poor unicorn.

Maybe he just needed a diaper change.

“What are you doing?” Tallow asked.

Snapping out of a daze, Breeze noticed his hoof was floating around the leg gathers of the other stallion’s diaper. He was...checking it?

“U-uuuh,” Breeze was lost for words as his hoof snapped back. “N-need help getting dressed?” He quickly stammered for cover.

The unicorn’s raised eyebrow of confusion morphed into a scowl of frustration. “I can do it myself!” Tallow pouted firmly and it was then that he finally managed to yank the maid costume off its hanger.

Breeze instead helped Fable with his outfit. The other pegasus wasn’t happy about any of this, that was obvious, but with Breeze’s help he resigned himself to his fate all the same. Reluctantly and hesitant at first, the pair began the arduous task of slipping into the frilly maid outfit in awkward silence.

The costumes were unforgivingly snug, designed to accentuate every line and curve of their frames. Frills adorned every edge, amplifying the outfits’ exaggerated femininity. The short skirts barely reached the tops of their thighs, leaving their thickly padded diapers in full view. The finishing touch, a crisp white apron with delicate lace trim, tied neatly at the back in a large, conspicuous bow.

The end result was undeniably prim, professional... and absolutely humiliating.

Meanwhile Tallow was... making less than stellar progress. By the time the other two had finished, Breeze found Tallow struggling. The poor unicorn had somehow managed to get his head stuck through a sleeve while one foreleg was hopelessly tangled in the apron ties. He spun clumsily in place, trying to free himself, resembling a kitten caught in a hopeless battle with a ball of yarn.

Breeze couldn’t help but sigh as he stepped forward to help, though the faintest flicker of a smirk betrayed his amusement. “No. No, Tallow, you’re getting all tangled up,” he tsked, “here, let me help.”

He helped the unicorn back out of the tangled mess and guided his limbs through the proper openings.

“I almost had it,” Tallow grumbled with a pout as the outfit was turned the right way around.

“Of course you did,” Breeze commented, borrowing the tone of voice his aunt would use when talking to his fussy little cousin.

The group moved on to complete their humiliating ensemble with white silk stockings and polished black shoes. Fable squirmed uncomfortably as Breeze worked the stockings up his legs, the snug material clinging tightly to his coat. His wings twitched with each tug, and his ears flattened. Breeze, suppressing his own discomfort, simply focused on the task, offering a quiet “Hold still, will you?” when Fable squirmed too much.

Meanwhile, Tallow was absorbed in his own effort, his tongue poking out slightly in concentration as he carefully slid the stockings up his legs. He paused every so often to inspect them, giving a small, delighted giggle. “Fancy!” he exclaimed, wiggling his hooves to admire the sheen of the silk. The polished black shoes followed, their gleaming surface reflecting the magenta glow of the magefire torches, making the outfits look even more absurdly elegant.

“Alright, well, that’s everything, right?” Breeze asked as he looked around.

The room didn’t give him an answer. Instead they waited and waited and still no door revealed itself. Perhaps they did something wrong. Perhaps they were missing something.

“Oh, I know!” Tallow exclaimed before dashing over to the far wall where a number of shelves and drawers were. He brought over a small plastic makeup chest.

The little container was made of a clear pink plastic, opening up to reveal a dozen shades of lipstick and blush and eyeliner. A perfect array for any makeover.

Tallow grabbed a shade of blush seemingly at random. “Here, Flare! Try this!” he chirped, “it’ll make you look extra pretty!”

Flare made a swipe at the approaching brush, nearly knocking it right out Tallow’s hooves.

“Come on, Flare! Don’t you wanna look pretty?!” Tallow chirped. Still the pegasus refused and Tallow whined, “Breeeeeeze! Tell Flare that he gotta look pretty!”

Breeze sighed, “hate to say it, but... I think Tallow’s onto something. Put the make-up on, Flare.”

The other pegasus looked at him with a bewildered expression. First diapers, then the maid outfits, now this?! When would it end? He groaned and reluctantly sat down on his padded rump, his ears pinned back as he scowled.

Tallow clapped his hooves together with glee. “Great! Now hold still. You’re gonna be the prettiest maid!”

The unicorn leaned in, his tongue poking out in concentration as he dabbed a soft pink blush onto Flare’s cheeks. The pegasus squirmed, his wings fluttering out in embarrassment. Then, with the frenzy of an inspired artist, Tallow rummaged through the makeup kit and pulled out a small eyeliner pencil. Humming to himself as he worked, he carefully traced the eyeliner around Flare’s eyes, nodding in satisfaction as he finished.

“There! Now you look perfect!” Tallow said with a flourish.

Flare glared at him, his tail flicking in irritation as his face burned with humiliation.

“Okay, Breeze, you’re next!” Tallow said cheerfully.

“Alright...” Breeze sighed as he stepped forward and took Fable’s spot. He watched Tallow with a wary eye, noting the sheer excitement in the unicorn’s expression as he fussed over the makeup supplies. Tallow had never struck him as someone who even knew what makeup was, let alone how to use it. Breeze wasn’t exactly an expert, but even he could tell Tallow’s movements were oddly practiced - like he’d done this a dozen times before. That was strange. What was even stranger, though, was the way he practically bounced on his hooves with giddy energy. This wasn’t the same commanding unicorn who had led them into the tower.

Tallow wasted no time, dabbing blush onto Breeze’s cheeks with the same enthusiasm. “You’ve got such nice cheekbones!” he said brightly.

“Thanks,” Breeze muttered dryly, resisting the urge to roll his eyes.

Next came the eyeliner. Tallow leaned in close, carefully tracing the pencil along Breeze’s lashes.

“Almost done!” Tallow said, adding a touch of eyeliner for good measure. When he finished, he stepped back to admire his work. “There we go! Looking pretty, Breeze!”

“Yeah... pretty,” Breeze replied as he avoided making eye contact with his reflection.

Finally, Tallow turned to the mirror and grinned. “Great! Now it’s my turn now!” he said, picking up the brush with his magic.

Breeze raised an eyebrow. “You’re doing your own makeup?”

“Of course! Who better to make me look pwetty for da pwincess!?” Tallow said, giggling as he swept blush across his cheeks.

It didn’t take long for the unicorn to finish. With a satisfied smile, he turned to the others, his cheeks pink, his lips sparkling with gloss, and his eyes accented with a soft shimmer of eyeshadow.

Breeze adjusted his apron one final time, glancing at the mirror. “Well... we did it,” he said, though his voice was tinged with disbelief.

Fable let out a muffled huff, glaring at his reflection as his tail flicked in irritation.

Tallow twirled slightly, causing the frills of his skirt to sway. “Gotta admit,” he said with a grin, “we look kind of cute. Right?”

Before anyone could say more, the sound of stone grinding against stone echoed through the room. A hidden panel in the far wall slid open, revealing yet another staircase leading upward.

Breeze broke the silence with a deep breath and then said, “let’s keep moving. No point standing around.”

With a collective sigh, the trio began their ascent, the frills of their skirts bouncing with each cautious step. The faint crinkle of their diapers beneath the lacy outfits was an ever-present reminder of just how embarrassing their situation had become.

Fourth Floor

The sound of their shoes clicking loudly against the stone accompanied them as they climbed the narrow staircase. Slowly they spiraled yet again around the tower, slowly upwards from the third floor.

Breeze was taking the lead now, his steady hoofsteps setting the pace. Every so often, he glanced over his shoulder to check on the others. The only noise heard from Fable was a rhythmic suckling as he scowled at the ground. Meanwhile Tallow lagged slightly, his gait slower and less coordinated than before. He huffed under his breath with every misstep, occasionally stumbling over a step as though distracted.

“Come on, Tallow,” Breeze said in that same, calming tone he’d adopted recently. “We’re almost there. Stay focused.”

“I am focused!” Tallow whined, puffing his cheeks out like a foal denied a treat. “I’m just... I’m just tired! Stupid stairs...”

Floor four had noticeably less floor than the previous ones. The ground gave way to a shallow basin with only a pair of gently arching walkways above it. The hoofpaths crossed each other perpendicularly in the middle of the room with a gold plaque marking their center.

Below the thin walkways, no more than two feet away was a garden, filled with clusters of rich pink flowers. Each one stood on tall slender stems that looked as delicate as the curved, slightly frilled pedals. Even in the magenta magefire, the plants seemed to have an almost ethereal, iridescent glow to them.

“Prankstera mystiflora,” Tallow chimed in with a rather chipper tone, flexing that exotic flora knowledge he picked up during his stay in Canterlot, “poison joke, a magical flower that plays pranks on those who come into contact with it. They can be dangerous, although I wasn’t aware there was a pink variety.”

"Poison joke, huh?" Breeze commented as he peeked over the edge of the walkway, "weird place to have a garden."

“Yeah, pretty though,” Tallow added, “come on, l-let’s see what the tower wants us to do this time.”

With perfect balance, only partially obstructed by the thick diaper that crinkled with every step, Tallow crossed the thin footbridge with hardly a missed step. Despite the path being just barely wide enough to accommodate a pony’s narrow stride, he easily glided over the lush garden below.

The other two followed shortly after, and then together, already getting used to the routine of it all, they read the golden plaque.

To rise to the challenge, take care,

Through blossoms of pink lies the dare.

A touch will transform,

To the new, from the norm,

Only then shall the way be laid bare.

Breeze frowned as he glanced down at the delicate flowers below, his wings twitching uncomfortably. "Wait, are we supposed to... touch them?" he muttered, eyeing the vibrant blooms warily.

“Guess we don’t have much of a choice,” Tallow replied, bouncing lightly on his hooves. He gave a soft giggle and added, “besides, they look harmless enough. Pretty too!”

His horn glowed green as he carefully plucked a single flower from the garden, holding it gently in his magical grasp. Taking a deep breath, he brushed the blossom against his chin, where a shimmering glob of pink nectar seeped into his coat.

For a few tense seconds, nothing happened, as if the world itself were holding its breath. Then, the unicorn gasped as a wave of warmth swept through him. A tingling sensation began in his hooves, spreading upward like creeping vines. Before his eyes, his limbs began to shrink, his frame compacting as though an invisible force were gently squeezing him. His height diminished by nearly a head as his proportions softened, his features rounding and smoothing into a more youthful, feminine appearance. Remarkably, the diaper and maid outfit shrank with him as well, staying just as snug and form-fitting as before.

Tallow blinked as the transformation completed, lifting a hoof to his face in awe. “This... feels so strange,” he said, his voice light and melodic, catching even himself off guard. He froze, ears pinning back as he tried again, “Wait, is that me?” The higher pitch made him blush furiously.

Fable muffled a snirk around his pacifier before catching himself. The sound wasn’t loud, but the corners of his mouth betrayed him, curling upward in spite of his best efforts. He hunched forward slightly, pretending to adjust his posture, but the soft, muffled vibrations of laughter still shook his shoulders.

“Hey! Stop laughing at me!” Tallow snapped, his voice cracking into an adorably high-pitched squeak. He stomped, but this only made Fable’s shoulders shake harder as he struggled to contain his amusement. “Stooop!” Tallow huffed, glaring at Fable, though his pouting expression only deepened the absurdity of the moment.

Fable’s body trembled with silent laughter, eyes watering as he tried to maintain his composure, but the sight of Tallow’s dramatic little tantrum was just too much. Tallow, meanwhile, continued to huff and puff, utterly oblivious to how silly he looked in his frustration.

As Tallow fussed over the changes to body, Breeze cast a hopeful glance toward the far side of the room, searching for any sign of a passageway that might open to let them proceed. Unfortunately, the seamless, unyielding white stone remained as it was. It seemed clear now. All three of them needed to touch the flowers.

With a resigned sigh, he turned his attention to the pink-petaled garden below. “Well... here goes nothing,” he muttered, brushing his hoof over the blossoms. A sticky residue clung to his hoof as the soft, shimmering petals began to glow. Suddenly, a sensation like a million tiny pinpricks danced across his body, and the transformation began.

Several things happened in the blink of an eye. Breeze’s body grew curvy and acquired a similar feminine appearance to Tallow's, only it didn’t shrink. Instead his posture straightened, and his legs locked into a prim, almost commanding stance. His muzzle narrowed slightly, his jawline softening but remaining strong, giving him a more dignified look.

The most jarring change came when he opened his mouth to speak. “Tallow! Control yourself this instant!” he snapped, his tone sharp and sudden. It was a commanding voice, rich with maturity and discipline, the kind that was impossible to ignore. It was undeniably feminine, but strong and authoritative. He clamped his mouth shut, startled by the sound of his own voice.

Tallow froze mid-tantrum, his eyes widening as he absorbed the sight before him. Breeze now seemed to tower over him with a commanding presence, practically radiating stern authority. It made the unicorn shrink down immediately. “I... I’m sorry...” he stammered, taking a hesitant step back, suddenly feeling the weight of Breeze’s gaze upon him. His ears drooped as his gaze fell to the floor.

Breeze seemed less like a peer and more like an older, wiser figure. The kind of pony who demanded respect without even having to ask for it. It was like a switch had been flipped, and now Breeze felt like the one in control, like a mother figure who had to manage her misbehaving children.

Fable, on the other hoof, was finding all of this absolutely hilarious. His eyes watered with muffled laughter as he tried to stifle his mounting giggles, his body convulsing slightly. The sight of the other two bickering like parent and child was too much for him. The pacifier in his mouth bobbed up and down as he struggled to contain his amusement, his cheeks turning a dark shade of crimson.

“Fable, careful!” Breeze shouted.

But it was too late. Fable yelped as his hoof slipped off the walkway, and he toppled into the garden below. A burst of pink petals exploded around him and he landed on his back with a loud plop in the nectar-drenched blossoms.

As the cloud of pedals floated back down and settled around him, his body too underwent drastic changes. His features softened, his jawline becoming rounder, and his once-strong, masculine build shrunk into a more delicate, slender frame. The most noticeable change was his fur which was now stained by the bright pink nectar from head to hoof. His mane and tail were similarly brightened, now bright and pastel to better fit his sugary color palette. His maid outfit, oddly enough, remained perfectly pristine.

It was only now did the pacifier finally unglued itself off his mouth, releasing with an audible pop when he spoke. “Gah! Wha deeze flowas gwowing on!? Gwavel?!” he exclaimed with a girlish tone of voice and a very childish lisp. He frantically swiped at the petals that clung to his fur as he climbed back onto the walkway.

Now it was Tallow who started to giggle. “Fable’s all pink!”

“Sh-shuddup!” Fable snapped back.

“Fable’s all piiiink! Fable’s all piiiink!” Tallow repeated in a sing-songy voice.

“Sh-shuddup!” Fable’s cheeks flared up red, “a-at least I didn’t wet myself!”

Tallow’s laughter stopped abruptly and his grin starting to falter as his eyes darted downward. He shifted uncomfortably, his cheeks flushing a deep crimson as he caught sight of a large yellow patch spreading across the front of his diaper. An undeniable warmth was seeping through the thick padding, and the once cheerful crinkle beneath him had turned into a heavier, squishier sensation.

After fussing to himself, fidgeting a tiny bit, the unicorn shrunk back and quieted down.

“Tallow’s all weeeeet!” Fable grinned.

“Sh-sh-shuddup!” Tallow squeaked.

“Potty pants!”

“Y-you’re the potty pants!”

“Potty paaaaaants!”

“Shudduuuuuup!”

“Settle down, both of you!” Breeze stepped in, ending the bickering immediately. “Fable, you need to be nicer to Tallow. She-... H-he’s been having a stressful day. As for you Tallow, I’ll change you when you need it.”

“But-”

“It’s barely even used,” Breeze found himself saying, “we’ll find the Princess and then we’ll change your diapee.

“Diapee?” Tallow repeated with confusion.

“Pwincess?” Fable added, equal parts confusion.

“Th-the Captain!” Breeze said back, “I-I meant the Captain! Once we find the Captain we can... Well we need to find the Captain first.”

There was a pause and then, as if bailing Breeze out of having to explain himself further, a slab of stone slid out of the way, revealing the way forward.

Breeze and Tallow moved forward, but Fable lingered. Something was... bothering him. Something that had been building up in the background ever since they put on the diapers. Up until now it was something he was doing a great job completely ignoring, completely oblivious, but now he felt a tingling heat bubble deep inside him. It was like embers smoldering beneath a forest floor - unseen, quietly feeding on the dry underbrush - until one day, a gust of wind turned it into an unstoppable wildfire.

The gust of wind, in this instance, was Tallow. More specifically Tallow’s diaper. Even more specifically, how it looked when it was wet. And as for the unstoppable wildfire, well, Fable found himself unbelievably turned on with a tight bulge tenting up the front of his diaper to match.

As he watched Tallow waddle off, his saggy diaper butt swaying behind him, he felt a swelling of warmth fill him up. He couldn’t quite describe the sensation that throbbed inside of him, but the more he stared at the unicorn’s soggy diaper the more he found himself... strangely arousing. The swollen plastic shell, the yellow tinge to the padding that had spread to the back by now, even the subtle scent of urine that could just barely be smelt on the air. It all made Fable’s legs weak. He just couldn’t take his eyes off of it. It was all wet and heavy now. Probably warm too... Warm and squishy...

“Hooves off your diaper, Fable,” Breeze’s voice called out.

“Hu-what?” Fable snapped out of his daze to notice his forehoof was wedged between his legs, pressing into the bulging bulk of his diaper. “I-I wasn’t....” It was pretty obvious what he was doing and even after he was caught, it took him a few moments to finally pull his hoof away from the throbbing need. “I-I wasn’t!” He repeated before swallowing hard, trying to push the thought away, but his eyes kept drifting back. The sight of Tallow’s bulging diaper, so obviously wet, made his own feel even tighter. He had to look away.

His eyes shot to the ground as he pushed himself to trot forward. He had to focus on something else. The stone tiles? The magefire torches? ...the pacifier?

The pacifier...

The pacifier!

The purple pacifier dangled from a delicate ribbon clipped to his frilly collar. His muzzle twitched as he stared at it longingly. It had been no more than ten minutes since he had it in his mouth and already he was missing it.

The longing clawed at his mind, sharp and insistent, like an itch he needed to scratch. It competed with his aching arousal for attention and jumped in power as time went on. His eyes stared at the pacifier, the soft plastic swaying slightly with his every movement. A small, desperate whimper escaped him before he grabbed it and popped it into his mouth.

Nuk nuk nuk

Relief washed over him immediately. He sucked on the pacifier slowly, rhythmically, and his tense shoulders relaxed. It was humiliating, but a smile crawled up his muzzle all the same. Inversely, much to his frustration, his throbbing arousal was also starting to wane, becoming less intense the more he suckled on the pacifier. Seconds later he had to spit out the pacifier just so he could feel himself grow hard again.

He was torn between the two desires. The urge to suckle and the urge to... well, do something else entirely. But every time he reached down to touch himself, the urge to put the pacifier back grew stronger. He could only manage a rub or two before he needed his pacifier again. It was like his body was playing a game of tug-of-war with his mind, each side pulling at him with equal ferocity.

“Hooves off, Fable!” Breeze shouted, “don’t make me tell you again!”

His hooves pulled away immediately this time, leaving his cock to twitch pathetically against his padding. “S-sorry...” he mumbled.

Ten minutes. He just needed ten minutes and he could take care of things. All he needed was a little bit of time.That was all. Just a little...

But... but he couldn’t ignore the pacifier’s siren call. He wanted to suck on it again. He NEEDED to suck on it again. He had to have it back in his mouth.

Nuk nuk nuk

In the end it was the pacifier that won the battle. He was left frustrated, pent up, and desperate to finish what he started, but that was made impossible so long as he kept on sucking. And he felt so incredibly empty without his pacifier.

“Come along you two,” Breeze called out at the doorway, “let’s move on before Tallow throws another tantrum,”

Tallow glared at him, but the pout on his face and his smaller stature only made him look more ridiculous. “I don’t throw tantrums!” he whined, stomping a hoof for emphasis.

“Of course you don’t,” Breeze sighed as he ushered the other two forward.

Fifth Floor

The spiral staircase seemed to stretch on forever, its stone steps just as smooth and perfectly spaced as the hundreds of other steps before it. The air was still, the only sounds being the soft clinks of shoed hooves against stone, the rustling of their diapers, and Tallow’s increasingly exaggerated sighs of frustration.

“This is taking forever,” Tallow whined, lagging behind as he stomped up the steps. His pouty expression was practically etched into his face. “Why does it have to be stairs? Why can’t it be, like, an elevator or... or magic bubbles that float us to the top?”

“Keep moving, Tallow,” Breeze said sharply, his tone curt but undeniably maternal, “if you spent as much energy climbing as you do complaining, we’d already be at the top.”

Tallow huffed dramatically, sticking out his lower lip as he trudged forward. “You’re so bossy now,” he muttered under his breath.

Between them, Fable followed silently, his eyes cast downward and his steps small and dainty. The only sound he really made was the steady suckling of his pacifier. His once snarky demeanor had dissolved entirely, replaced by a quiet meekness. Every so often, his hoof would flutter to adjust the hem of his skirt or smooth his mane, as if ensuring he looked presentable even in solitude.

Breeze meanwhile tried to keep their little troupe together. It seemed like progress became slower and slower with each passing floor. They were obviously getting tired, but they had to press on. She hoped... He hoped that the answer was waiting at the top of these steps or top of the tower.

The staircase eventually ended at a small landing, where the trio stepped into a circular antechamber. The room was compact, just large enough for the three of them to file in. It's only notable feature was a gold plaque hanging beside a sealed doorway, the single and only exit out of the small room.

In a maze made of mirrors so bright,

Reflections will lead you from sight.

To find your way through,

Change your view, it’s true

New angles will guide you to light!

There were only so many ways Tallow could groan. She resorted to all of them. There was nothing good about this riddle. All the talk about perceptions bending, and being in a daze… she already knew something was messing with her mind to make her…

But... he had to remember the mission. He had to remember...

There was something else he had to remember... Something important. SOMEONE important. Now who was it? They were the sole reason she and the group were climbing the tower in the first place...who was it? And what was that rustling sound?

“Breeeeeeze! Fable won’t stop touching his diaper!” his squeaky voice whined.

The pink pegasus stood beside him with a forehoof rubbing the front of his diaper. His eyes were half-closed, his breathing shallow and quick as his hoof worked in slow circles. His mouth hung open in ecstasy as the rhythmic rustling filled the room.

“Fable! Behave yourself!” Breeze barked in a motherly tone.

Fable snapped out of his daze at the sound of Breeze's voice, his cheeks flushing a darker shade of crimson. He quickly removed his hoof from his diaper. “I-I w-wasn’t...” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.

With an audible click, a large panel in the doorway slid silently into the ground, revealing the glittering expanse of the mirror maze beyond. Its walls shimmered with a silver glow, reflecting the trio in every direction.

The three exchanged uneasy glances, before Breeze took the lead, his hoofsteps steady as he crossed the threshold. Tallow followed reluctantly with Fable trailing behind, clutching the hem of his maid dress nervously.

The moment all three entered, the walls of the maze shifted behind them with a soft clink. The way back disappeared and the maze now surrounded them with infinite reflections.

“Stay close,” Breeze said, marching forward with determination in his stride, “we could easily lose our way if we don’t stay on our guard.” There was silence. “Got it?” he turned around to discover the other two missing. “Fable?! Tallow?!”

His eyes darted around for the others, but all he saw were his mirror copies. Tall, graceful, authoritative. He frowned as he examined his reflection. The stern, motherly figure staring back was both familiar and foreign to him

“I don't suppose YOU know where they went,” he asked his reflections. He was half expecting them to shake their heads or show him the way. For obvious reasons, however, they just frowned back at her. “Alright,” he muttered to himself, her voice carrying the no-nonsense authority he hadn’t entirely embraced. “Focus. It’s just a maze. Just reflections.”

He took a slow, measured breath, forcing himself to stay calm. There was no time to panic or whine. Instead, he studied his surroundings with a critical eye. Then, with determined and deliberate steps, he ventured forward.

As he progressed, he couldn’t help but think of the others. Tallow and Fable were likely trying to navigate the maze just as he was. It would take some time, but he was confident that, with patience and wisdom, all three of them would be able to escape.

He was also confident in the fact that Tallow wasn’t really the patient type. He was getting over-tired, that was obvious, and it was clear that his usual logical thought processes were being derailed because of how exhausted he had become. He could do for a nice nap, Breeze reasoned, a nap and maybe a small snack. And a diapee change.

And Fable was being so...aimless lately. Aimless and... was putting his hooves where they don’t belong. He probably wouldn’t make it far without someone telling him what to do.

“They’re lucky I’m here,” Breeze muttered under his breath, his tone tinged with motherly exasperation.

He pressed forward, determined to find his companions and lead them through the maze.

Meanwhile, Fable stood at an intersection of the maze, surrounded by four seemingly endless hallways of reflective mirrors. "Tallow? Bweeze? Whewe awe you guys?!" He called out to the others, but his voice echoed back at him, unanswered. The silence was eerie, and he felt a shiver run down his spine.

Nuk nuk nuk.

The nervousness grew in him as he stepped into one of the hallways, the clack of his hooves echoing around him. He was tense and jittery, his eyes darting from reflection to reflection. The silence was overwhelming, broken only by his own breathing, gentle suckles of the pacifier, and the occasional muffled sound of his diaper rustling against his thighs. He continued to call out for Tallow and Breeze, but each time his muddled voice bounced around the maze with aimless abandon with no reply, just the empty echo of his own desperation.

Nuk nuk nuk.

The mirrors around him reflected his image, a silly filly in a frilly diaper, sucking on a pacifier. It was a sight that would have made him laugh under any other circumstances. But now, it just made him feel... funny. A good kind of funny. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his racing heart. Being alone in a place like this was unsettling, but a particular thought was starting to dawn on him. He was alone. No one was around to tell him to behave or keep his hooves to himself.

But first he needed to pee.

It wasn’t a decision he gave too much thought to. As the idea of indulging himself grew in strength, the choice to let go of his bladder and use the diaper right where he stood was made with little to no worry. He didn’t stress out about being seen in a wet diaper or embarrassed for acting so foalish, he needed to pee and so he did. Afterall, that was the point of wearing a diaper.

Nuk nuk nuk.

A loud hissing echoed through the mirror maze as Fable sighed. A delightful warmth started to spread through his diaper. With a thousand mirrors providing a thousand angles, he was able to watch the whole thing in intimate detail. He was able to watch the yellowish wet spot on the front appear and grow, spreading all the way down to the back. There was a time, about halfway through the heavy soak, that the diaper ended up leaking as it struggled to absorb a stallion’s bladderful of urine released into it all at once. The little bit of urine dribbled down a leg gatherer, soaking into his inner thigh and leaving tiny droplets on the smooth white floor. However most of it managed to stay in the diaper, swelling the padding up to a pleasant bulk.

When he was done, Private Fable Flare was left with a very soaked and very soggy diaper. Now the burning need to touch himself grew more insistent. The pressure was like a dam threatening to burst and his hooves trembled in anticipation. He took one last look around him as his heart raced. He was alone and all he needed was a little bit of time. He might never have a chance like this again.

And so, trying to ignore the longing that told him he needed to keep sucking on his pacifier, he spat the whole thing out and allowed it to droop off his dress with its little ribbon. Seconds later his erection came surging back to life, throbbing painfully underneath the diaper’s soggy plastic shell.

He plopped to the ground and with a loud, unrestrained moan that carried on to the far reaches of the maze, he reached down to the front of his diaper and began to rub himself. Both forehooves grabbed the bulk of the swollen mass, pressing it against his throbbing cock. The soft squishiness of the padding sent a shiver down his spine, and he let out a small, involuntary whimper. The friction was heavenly, sending waves of pleasure through his body.

The sound of his hooves sloshing the freshly warmed plastic filled the empty space around him as his breath grew more and more ragged. His eyes fluttered as his head tilted back, lost in the pleasure that filled every inch of his aroused body. The warm, thick padding was a delightful cushion between his hooves and cock, the pressure building and building with each grope of the bulk.

He looked up at his reflection and his reflection stared back at him, looking so adorable and vulnerable in his little maid's outfit and wet diaper. His cheeks were flushed a deep red and his eyes were half-closed with pleasure. His mane was slightly askew, and his pacifier dangled off the neckline of his dress. The sight was surprisingly erotic, a mix of innocence and indulgence that sent his heart racing even faster.

“S-so... c-cute,” he managed to squeak out between moans and rigorous rubs. He couldn't believe how much he enjoyed this, how much he craved the feeling of the soggy padding pressing against him, the way it squished and squelched with every movement he made.

His eyes remained glued to his reflection, watching as his muzzle scrunched up with pleasure and his ears laid flat against his head. The mirrors around him reflected his every move, multiplying the sight of his furry hands working at his diaper, and his flushed cheeks grew redder with every stroke. It was as if he were surrounded by a hundred versions of himself, all lost in the same ecstasy of indulgence.

Empowered by the reflection, Fable's strokes grew more determined. He watched himself in the mirror, his eyes locked on the image of his hooves moving in a blur over his diaper-covered erection. The pleasure grew, a warmth spreading from his loins outward, making his legs quiver and his toes curl. His breaths grew shallower, his moans louder, until finally, he couldn't hold back anymore.

With a strangled cry, he climbed to his peak, his hips bucking slightly as he came, spurting his hot seed into the already wet padding of his diaper. The sticky mess soaked and mixed in with the urine sodden mass inside. His eyes rolled back in his head, and for a brief moment, he lost track of where he was, his mind consumed by the overwhelming waves of ecstasy that crashed through him.

When he finally opened his eyes, he was panting heavily, his body limp and his diaper even soggier than before. He looked at his reflections, panting and flushed, and couldn’t help but smile at the sight. He had never felt more alive, more himself, than he did in that moment, surrounded by mirrors that reflected his true desires back at him. With a sigh, he leaned back on his haunches, the sticky wetness of his diaper clinging to his legs as he took a moment to catch his breath.

The echo of his climax slowly faded away, leaving behind only the gentle sound of his heart beating in his ears. For a timeless moment, he laid on the cold stone ground, his chest rising and falling rapidly as he tried to catch his breath. The aftermath of his pleasure left him feeling both satisfied and slightly embarrassed. He looked down at his bulging diaper, a mess of pee and cum, and a part of him felt like a naughty little foal who had just been caught doing something he shouldn't. But there was also a thrill, a thrill that made his cheeks burn and his ears perk up.

As he lay there, the reality of his situation began to sink in. He was still lost in the mirror maze, and now he was lost with a soaked diaper. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret. How could he have let himself go like that? He was supposed to be looking for his friends, looking for a way out.

He pushed himself to his hooves, the diaper squelching unpleasantly against his coat as he stood. His eyes darted around the room, searching for any sign of his friends or an exit. But everywhere he looked, the only thing he saw was his own reflection, staring back at him with wide eyes filled with fear. The mirrors mocked him with their silent echoes, and he felt his anxiety growing with every passing moment.

The isolation was starting to get to him. His breath quickened, and his heart raced as the walls of the maze closed in. He wasn’t just alone; he was trapped, surrounded by his own fear and doubt. The silence was deafening, and the reflections in the mirrors only served to amplify his distress.

He struggled to take deep breaths, opting for shallow panicked ones. He had to get out of here, but was running the best option? What if he just kept going in circles? What if he got even more lost? His mind was racing with fearful thoughts, each one more overwhelming than the last.

He was on the brink of panic, his body shaking and his legs threatening to buckle beneath him. The cold, hard reality of his situation was setting in, and it was all too much to handle. His eyes searched the mirrors, looking for any hint of a way out, any sign of life beyond his own reflection.

Nuk nuk nuk.

Without realizing it at first, he found the pacifier had popped back into his muzzle and he was suckling on it. The familiar rhythm soothed his frayed nerves. The panic ebbed, and he found his hooves moving again, this time more steadily. He looked at one of the mirrors. His pink reflection stared back, pacifier bobbing rhythmically in his mouth. He blushed at the sight, but the pacifier stayed firmly in place.

Nuk nuk nuk.

“I-I can do this,” he whispered around the pacifier, his voice barely audible. He glanced down one path, then another, trying to gather the courage to pick a direction. “Just... keep going. Find the others.”

With newfound courage, Fable moved forward, the soft sound of his suckling keeping him calm as he navigated the maze. He just had to be brave and find them!

Tallow meanwhile made his way deeper into the maze, carefully weaving through the mirrors. At first, he tried to keep calm, steady breaths accompanying his cautious steps as he navigated the shimmering labyrinth.

“Just gotta... focus,” he muttered to himself. “Keep track of where I’ve been. Easy. I can do this...” But it wasn’t long before his confidence began to fray. Each turn only seemed to lead to more mirrors, and his own reflection - pouting, flustered, and far too frilly for his liking - followed him mockingly in every direction.

Let’s see. He took a left, then a right, then a left, then straight, then right... Or was that a left? Maybe it was left, right, straight, left, left. Or right, straight, right, left, right...

“UGH!” Tallow groaned, his voice rising into a whiny pitch. His already thin patience evaporated entirely after he smacked face-first into a mirror that he swore had been an open path. “This maze is so stupid!”

The maze was impossible! It was unfair! There were no hints, no clues, not even a single landmark to orientate himself! Just more stupid mirrors and stupid reflections of other fillies steadily growing tired of games. He wanted out already!

He plopped down onto the floor with an audible crinkle, crossing his forehooves in a dramatic pout. His lip quivered as he sat there, glaring at the reflections of himself that encircled him.

“I don’t wanna do this anymore!” he huffed. “Someone else can figure it out! I’m done!”

His outburst echoed faintly through the maze as he sulked, refusing to move until someone found him.

Minutes passed - or maybe longer - and the silence grew heavier. Tallow sniffled and wiped at his face with a hoof, smudging his already slightly smeared makeup. “Stupid mirrors,” he muttered, kicking at the floor. “Stupid maze...” He trailed off when he caught something in the corner of his eye.

It was only there for a moment, but as he turned to peer down a mirrored hall, it almost looked like-

“C-Captain?!” Tallow exclaimed with a girly squeak. The shadow darted out of sight. It was him. It HAD to have been him! “Captain!” In a hasty, wobbly sprint, Tallow charged down the dim hallway, managing to bob and weave through the angled mirrors with split time reactions.

Every turn led to even more mirrors and the longer he ran the less he knew where he was. One thing he did know, however, was that the Captain was just around the corner. Every time he looked on he could see a quick moving blur, a fast fading shadow, a flicker of what he assumed was torch light. The Captain was running for some reason, but maybe he could catch up with him.

“Wait! Captain, wait for me!” Tallow shouted, her little voice echoing off the mirrors and bouncing back at him like a cruel chorus. “Stop running! Please!”

Then Tallow’s luck ran out and his face smashed into a wall of his reflection, causing him to topple backwards, head over hoof.

He landed with an awkward thud, his frilly skirt bunching around him as he sprawled on the cold floor. “Owww...” she whimpered softly, rubbing his now-tender snout. “Owwie owww!”

He was seeing double, or sextuple with the mirrors multiplying his reflection. Maybe more. He focused on the reflection in front of him in an effort to get his dazed mind back on track. The reflection looked as dizzy as he felt.

He laid there seeing stars.

She laid there seeing stars.

Focus. Focus. Focus...

Shaking her head out of the daze, Flicker Wick looked around in a panic. She lost him! She wasn’t quick enough. She lost him. SHE was lost!

The truth of it weighed darkly on her shoulders and she started to cry.

She didn’t know what else to do. Where to go. Or even where she was.

She was just... so lost.

This maze was putting all sorts of stress on her shoulders. She was already so so worried about her charge, she couldn't find her fellow maids, and now she was lost!

Her breath hitched, and she sniffled loudly, rubbing her eyes as tears streaked down her face. All she could think to do was bury her face in her hooves. She was smearing all her pretty makeup, but it was all she could think to do. She cried and she cried and then she cried some more.

“Flicker?” a familiar voice appeared close by.

Her head shot up, eyes wide and glistening. “C-Captain?!” she gasped, hope flickering back to life. But it wasn’t the Captain standing there, it was Sable Gale and Echo Tale.

Her friends!

The word settled over her like a warm blanket, bringing with it a flood of memories she didn’t question. Sable Gale, always the dependable one, had been the first to welcome Flicker Wick when she’d been selected to serve the Princess. She could still recall those first awkward days in the tower. It was Sable who taught her the importance of spotless silverware and how to change a diaper. The image of Sable adjusting her bow with an affectionate smile surfaced in her mind.

Echo Tale’s presence brought a softer wave of recollection. She’d always been quiet, the most reserved of their little trio, but her gentleness was her strength. How many times had she calmed her nerves with a shy smile or a reassuring pat on the hoof. She remembered sneaking into the pantry late at night to share treats with her, muffling their giggles so they wouldn’t wake the Princess. Echo had been her confidant, the one she turned to when servant life felt overwhelming.

A relieved sob escaped her lips as she scrambled to her hooves, the ache in her chest momentarily forgotten. “You found me!” she cried, rushing toward them and throwing her hooves around both of their necks.

“Flicker, why are you crying?” Sable asked.

“I-I got lost!” Flicker whimpered, wiping a teary eye, “I-I looked and looked and forgot where I was and I got lost and I didn’t know what to do!”

“Don’t worry, Flicker, we’re here!” Sable smiled, patting the little pony on the back.

Echo Tale simply smiled softly, her quiet presence a soothing balm to her frazzled nerves.

“Thanks girls,” Flicker smiled and sniffled.

“Now, come on. Dry those tears,” Sable said firmly, her voice carrying that familiar no-nonsense authority. “The Princess won’t want to see her favorite servant looking like such a mess, will she?”

Flicker Wick sniffled, her cheeks heating with embarrassment. “O-oh, y-yeah,” she stammered, hurriedly wiping her eyes with her hoof. The motion only smeared her makeup further, leaving faint streaks of mascara along her cheeks.

How could she forget? How could she have forgotten about the Princess?

Princess Gleaming Shield was their everything and they were her most loyal servants. Flicker could practically hear the Princess’s bright and giggly voice in her mind, calling her “Flick” with that playful affection she always reserved for her favorite maid.

Flicker’s focus sharpened, and with it, her resolve. She dried her tears with a makeup stricken sleeve of her dress and pulled herself together. "O-okay," she finally said with only the occasional sniffle shaking her voice now.

"Good girl," Sable smiled, patting the filly on the head, "then let's go see the Princess. She'll be expecting us!"

The Top

“Come on, come on, come on!” Flicker called down the staircase, her voice ringing with excitement as she bounced eagerly in place.

“We’re coming, Flicker. We’re coming,” Sable chuckled at the excitable filly. Just moments ago the poor dear was all tears and whimpers and now she was back to her perky self. She was positively glowing with enthusiasm and it was almost infectious.

Sable couldn’t help but feel a hint of joy herself. The long journey had been taxing, filled with trials and challenges, but now they were so close to their destination. Finally about to see their beloved princess again. She straightened her posture and quickened her pace. There was a sense of accomplishment in every step, each one bringing them closer to the end of this climb.

“The Princess is waiting!” Flicker urged, her voice tinged with urgency and excitement.

“We know, Flicker,” Sable replied patiently, though she couldn’t help but smile at the filly’s eagerness, “but wait for Echo. She’s not as fast as you.”

Echo was indeed trailing behind, but she wasn’t far, just a few steps below Sable. She was as excited as the other two, but she was focused more on climbing the steps, idly suckling on her pacifier as she progressed.

Flicker huffed, though her smile remained. “Well, hurry up, Echo! You don’t want to keep the Princess waiting, do you?”

Finally, the staircase ended, and the three maids stepped into the princess’s chambers. The room was grand and inviting, the pinnacle of elegance and comfort and was filled with the sweet, inviting aroma of strawberries and vanilla. It opened wide before them, bathed in soft, golden light that streamed through the single tall, arched window across the way. Plush carpets covered the floor, and a four-poster bed draped in sheer, sparkling curtains dominated the space. Every detail was pristine and regal, a reflection of the pony who resided there.

Atop the bed was a white unicorn, her blue-striped curls bouncing with each movement as she gleefully hopped up and down on the mattress. She wore a beautiful pink princess gown made of pinks and magentas with more than its fair share of bows, frills, petticoats. Beneath the gown was a thick, well used diaper sagging heavily between her hind legs. The diaper was clearly soaked and soiled, hanging down in a way that made it painfully obvious it had been left unchecked for quite some time. It sagged under a stinky weight, the material stretched and strained, and it was clear from the smell that it had been worn for far longer than any of the maids would have liked. Still, the princess bounced happily on her bed, oblivious to the discomfort she was causing herself.

The three maids knew exactly who she was.

“Princess Gleaming Shield!” Flicker Wick exclaimed as she waddled into the room, nearly tripping over her own feet because she was so happy. She made a mad dash over to the Princess and wrapped her arms around her. “We've been looking everywhere for you!”

“Well you found me!” giggled the Princess.

“Flicker, give the Princess some time to breathe,” Sable said patiently.

“Sable, look! I found the Princess! I found her!”

“I see that, Flicker, but remember what we talked about,”

“Oh! Right!” Flicker let go of the Princess and took a few steps back. She straightened up, tugging her dress tight before starting over. “Flicker Wick reporting for duty, your highness,” she repeated the overly rehearsed line and then gave the Princess her best, deepest bow.

Sable trotted over beside her and bowed as well. “Sable Gale reporting for duty, your highness.”

There was a pause and then Sable called out to the other pegasus in a harsh whisper. “...Echo!”

Snapping out of her daze, Echo nodded before rushing over beside the other two. She had to spit out her pacifier before speaking, “and uhm, Echo Tale...R-reporting for...duty,”

“Heehee, ‘doody’,” giggled the Princess, “that reminds me!” She hopped off her bed and waddled over to the other three. With her came a heavy stink in the air. “I need changees!” She pulled up her frilly princess dress to reveal a dingy, brown and yellow diaper that hung grossly off her waist. “I was a dirdy giwl!”

“Goodness, quite the full diaper,” Sable replied, hardly flinching as Gleaming wagged and wiggled her poopy diaper butt inches away from the trio. Her training allowed her to maintain a professional air to her expression.

Flicker and Echo weren’t nearly as restrained and it was tough to tell who between the two blushed the most. The urge to rub up against that bulging diaper was intense, but they knew they had to behave themselves. They were servants, after all. They could feel their hearts racing in their chests, the heat rising through their bodies like a fever. The desire to lean in and press their snouts to that bulging, squishy mess was almost overwhelming. It was all they could do to keep their hooves to themselves, to not give in to their baser instincts and start sniffing and rubbing with abandon.

“We’ll get you changed into a fresh diaper right away, your highness!” Sable exclaimed, with another deep bow, “Echo and I will retrieve the changing supplies from the nursery,” she added.

With a reluctant nod, Echo took one last look at the princess and all her beauty before she followed Sable out of the room, leaving Flicker and the princess alone.

Flicker felt a swirl of emotions in her stomach as she took in the sight of Princess Gleaming. Her heart fluttered in her chest and she had to bite her lip to keep from letting out a squeal of pure joy. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, but it was hard when she was this close to her favorite princess.

“I-I guess that just leaves us...alone...” Flicker murmured, her voice trembling slightly.

“Yeah,” Gleaming giggled as she plopped back down on the bed, her diaper squelching loudly under her weight.

The sound sent shivers down Flicker’s spine and caused the front of her soggy diaper to tingle. This was the moment she’d fantasized about for what felt like ages. Alone with her crush in her bedroom. She swallowed hard as her thoughts raced. She had to play it cool, not let her feelings overwhelm her. But as she glanced down at the bulge in her own diaper, she realized that she wasn’t as composed as she’d like to be. She’d been holding in her excitement all day, hoping for a chance like this.

“Y-you know, we HAVE been looking everywhere for you,” she said with a quiver as she sat down on the bed as well, “we...I-I was so worried...” she blushed a deeper shade of pink, “I missed you...”

“Aww, Flicker, I missed you girls too!” Her voice was light and filled with affection, a stark contrast to the smell that surrounded them both. “I’m so happy to see you three back again!”

The tension grew palpable as the two unicorns sat side by side, their bodies close enough to feel the warmth radiating from each other. Flicker started inching closer to the Princess as time went on.

Then, with a sudden jolt of courage, Flicker leaned in and kissed Gleaming’s cheek. It was a chaste, gentle kiss and Gleaming melted into it. Her eyes fluttered shut as she felt a surge of happiness.

There was a pause as the two broke away and blushed. But after a few more tense moments the princess leaned over and planted a wet, sloppy kiss on Flicker’s cheek as well, leaving a trail of residue from her drool. “I missed you the most, Flick!” she exclaimed.

With that, she grabbed Flicker’s shoulders and pushed her onto the bed, the two of them falling backward together. Their throbbing diapered bulges met with a soft, squelching sound, causing Flicker’s heart to race even faster. Gleaming’s diaper was definitely heavier than hers and she could feel the weight and wetness through the thick padding.

And then, without another word, they began to grind. The squelching noise of their diapers filled the room as they rubbed their bulges together, their eyes never leaving each other’s gaze. It was a moment of pure, unbridled passion, two diaper-clad lovers lost in their own little world.

Flicker felt her heart racing as the warmth grew between her legs. She had dreamed of this moment so many times, but the reality was so much more intense than she had ever imagined. The feeling of the diapers was like nothing she had ever felt before, the wetness and the smell mixing with the sweetness of the kisses they shared.

Their bodies moved in a rhythm that was both awkward and sloppy. The bed squeaked softly beneath them, and the sound of their moans echoed off the walls. They rolled around, their hooves occasionally catching on the bedspread, but they never stopped, their diapered crotches never even separating. It was like they were in a dizzying dance, one that only they knew the steps to.

Gleaming Shield’s eyes were wide with excitement as she felt Flicker’s bulge grow harder and more insistent against her own. They kissed again, this time with more passion. Flicker’s tongue slipped into Gleaming’s mouth and she tasted the sweetness of her saliva. Their moans vibrated each sensual and sweet kiss thereafter.

As they continued to grind, the stench of their diapers grew stronger, but neither of them cared. They were lost in the moment, in the sensation of each other’s bulges pressing against their own. Flicker’s eyes rolled back in her head as she felt the pressure building. She knew she was close, and she could tell that Gleaming was too.

“Oh Princess! Princess! Pwincess!” Flicker shouted and moaned.

Finally, with a whine, Gleaming Shield’s eyes rolled back in her head and she felt a warm gush fill her diaper. And as her royal princess squirmed and moaned on top of her, Flicker finished as well, the two of them sharing in the ultimate moment of pleasure.

They squirmed and squeaked and gasped against each other for a few more long, pleasure filled seconds and then... collapsed, flopping to the soft bed below.

The two mares laid there, panting heavily, their diapers now thoroughly soggy and the smell even more pronounced. The room was filled with the sounds of their breathing and the quiet rustling of their wet plastic.

Gleaming Shield looked over at Flicker, her cheeks still flushed with excitement. “That was... the best one yet,” she whispered.

Flicker nodded, unable to form coherent words. She felt... different, somehow. Like something inside her had been released, something she had been holding in for a very, very long time.

After the pair basked in the wonderful afterglow for a few more moments, Sable cleared her throat, bringing them both back to reality. The stern pegasus was standing at the doorway with Echo, both now wearing saddle bags filled to the brim with diapers, wipes, and various other supplies.

"We have your fresh diaper, your highness," Sable announced, her voice filled with the professionalism of a seasoned servant despite the smell that lingered in the room, “whenever you’re... finished.”

"Kay!" Gleaming chirped, hopping to her feet with surprising agility, considering the state of her current diaper. Toddling behind Sable, she waddled over to the changing table in the corner of the room, her soiled diaper sloshing with every step she took.

Flicker laid there, watching the scene unfold with a content smile on her face. Her eyes were half-lidded and her breathing was still a little erratic from their intimate moment. The sight of her princess’s diapered bottom waddling away was almost too much to handle. She felt a strange mix of love, lust, and a hint of sadness that their moment had to come to an end.

Suddenly she snapped out of her daze when she felt the tapes of her sodden diaper start to become undone. Echo stood over her, quietly undoing the diaper with methodical and careful movements. The pink pegasus’s wings fluttered gently as she pulled the diaper away from Flicker’s body, a string of salty smelling cum connecting the padding to Flicker's spent and deflating cock with a thin strand. It was a sight that made her own diaper tighten up in the front.

Meanwhile Princess Gleaming Shield could be heard in the back corner, fussing and squirming as her legs could be seen kicking up into the air.

"Your highness, please lay still," Sable instructed, her tone firm as she began to lift the heavy diaper from Gleaming's hindquarters.

"But I wanna play with my toys!" Gleaming whined, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the playpen in the corner, filled to the brim with stuffed animals and colorful toys.

"Not with dirty drawers, you're not," Sable replied with a stern look. "Diaper change first, then you can play with all the toys you want."

Still the princess fussed, but she always looked so cute when she fussed.

“Is... everything alright, Flicker?” Echo asked in that almost whisper voice of hers, lifting the unicorn’s legs in the air to slide a fresh, fluffy diaper underneath her bottom.

“Yeah,” Flicker replied, ”it just feels like...we’re right where we should be,” Flicker said with a smile.

She glanced back over at the princess who was eager to get up from the changing table now that she was in her own fresh diaper.

Flicker smiled at the sight, “where we’ve always been...”
