It was a beautiful day in Ponyville for a pony named Flutter Sparkle. Celestia’s sun shone brightly in the sky, and not a cloud could be seen for miles.
The happy purple pony strolled down the street toward the town market. She had just moved to Ponyville a few days ago from, and was looking forward to seeing what this new town had in store for her.
She was a pretty normal pony. She had a purple body and a dark blue and light pink stripped mane, her cutie mark, a aqua blue star with a butterfly on it, symbolizing her love for nature and magic. The only things that were different with Flutter Sparkle were that her one eye was a different color than the other. Her left eye was purple while her right eye was more of a shade of aqua similar to the color of the aqua star part of her cutie mark. The other difference was something entirely different.
If anypony would look at her carefully, they would she had a slight waddle when she walked, and that her rump seemed almost unproportional to the rest of her body.
Now most ponies would think this was just a flam she had. That this was something that was completely normal pony to have like flat hooves or a hairless tail. And for the most part they were right, except her rump wasn’t unproportional to her body.
What was the real problem was something inside her. Something no doctor could ever explain and no surgery could ever fix. It was that she was unable to control her bladder or bowls.
When she was younger and her parents had begun to try to potty train her, much like the other fillies and colts in her school, but no matter how hard she tried, she could never make it to the toilet. At first her parents had assumed she was just a little slower at this than the other kids and that she’d get a handle on it soon. But as the years began to slowly slip by and all the kids in her class now had no need for such things as diapers or trainers, she still found herself in her padding.
It was at that point that her parents had taken her to the doctor to see why she couldn’t control herself. Every doctor they went to said the same thing. “She seems completely fine. We just don’t know what it is.” This continued for about six months before her parents finally sat her down and talked to her. They told her the most horrible news she had ever received in her life. She would never be able to be potty trained. That she was doomed to wear her diapers for as long as she would live. She hadn’t slept that night, or even eaten. She just laid in her bed and sobbed, wondering why this terrible thing had happened to her.
She went through school and got older, all the while still wearing her padding, eventually learning to diaper herself when the time came. But as terrible as the fact of having to wear her protection was, it was nothing compared to her terrible rude classmates. She had had no friends throughout that time in her life, and she couldn’t remember a day that had gone by when she didn’t hear those harsh nicknames and get teased. They’d call her Sprinkler Sparkle or Flutter foal, but the teasing was the worst. “Aw, the little foal can’t hold it!” “Does baby want her bottle?” “Go back to magic kindergarten baby!” But the worst part was when she once had her skirt pulled down and had her soiled diaper put on display for the whole school to see, brown and yellow stains on her padding. She hated it. All of it.
When she finally graduated, she couldn’t leave Manehattan fast enough. She had her of Ponyville as an accepting town where everypony cared about everyone. After having the life she had had, this sounded just like the change she needed. Within a few weeks, she had moved to Ponyville.
Flutter Sparkle had now reached town square, all the merchants were selling different things and she could even see a stallion singing a beautiful song in the middle of the square. She hummed along to the tune looking around at the different things to buy around the square. She was just about to go and watch the music when she suddenly heard a loud rip.
She looked behind her to find her worst nightmare. Her skirt had caught on a nail and ripped, causing it to fall off her frame, exposing her diapered plot to everypony in the square.
“Hey everypony look! That mare is wearing a diaper!” Said a young pink filly with a tiara as her cutie mark.
Everypony began cracking up and laughing at her. It was like Manehattan all over again!
Not knowing what else to do and the thought of her one chance to start over now gone, she did the only thing she could think of doing. She started to cry. All the memories of her classmates had done to her filled her mind. Every insult and bad nickname she had ever gotten was now back her mind.
No matter what she did, she would never find a place she belonged! Everypony could never look past her diapers!
She continued crying and everypony kept laughing, that is, until they heard somepony else yell, “Leave her alone!”
Everypony stopped laughing and looked to see who had yelled. It was the pony that had been singing just a few moments ago. He had since stopped singing, and was now walking towards the diapered mare.
Everypony gazed in awe at the pegasus stallion. He had a gray coat and black and gray mane. His cutie mark was a silver fleur de lis, which sparkled in the sunlight.
“What do you think you’re doing?” Said one pony in the crowd.
“Yeah said another.” “She’s a diapered mare. It’s hilarious.”
Everypony began laughing again, Flutter Sparkle didn’t even care anymore. She just sat on the ground and sobbed.
“Quiet!” shouted the stallion. “Leave her alone and go about your business. Or you won’t want to see what I do to you if you don’t!”
Most of the ponies began to disperse, growing tired of laughing at the mare anyway, but two small grade school fillies remained, including the one that had originally announced her to the crowd.
“You don’t scare us.” Said the pink filly.
“Yeah.” Said her friend, who had a gray coat and blue glasses with a silver spoon as her cutie mark. “You can’t hurt us, we’re just fillies and you’re a stallion. You’d be in big trouble.”
The two fillies laughed, thinking that they had won.
“Who said I was going to hurt you.” Said the stallion, a smirk across his face.
The two fillies didn’t know what he meant by this, until a poof care from the two fillies behinds. When they looked back, what they saw shocked them.
Both fillies now had large, thick, disposable diapers around their rumps. They were pink, with frilly leg elastics and a design of ponies wetting and messing their diapers on them.
“Not quite so funny when it’s you is it?” Said the stallion. “This is only temporary, and you’ll get your toilet training back in about three days, but until then, you’re stuck in those diapers like the little foals you choose to act like. Oh, don’t bother trying to hold it, you’ll find that it will do you no good. And, if you try and tell anypony what happened, you’ll find you won’t be able to stop wetting and messing those things and nopony will be able to get them off. Now scram!”
“But-but how did you…” Said the pink filly.
“Scram!” Said the stallion once more, the two fillies now getting the message and running away, almost tripping with their new padding strapped to their waist.
The stallion now turned to Flutter Sparkle, looking at her with a look of compassion and care in his eyes.
“Hey there, it’s okay. Everypony’s gone now. Here let me help you.” Said the stallion, reaching out a hoof to help her up.
Flutter Sparkle accepted the hoof, rising to her hooves.
“Thank you.” She said around her sobs, still crying a bit from the teasing. “Why did you help me, and what’s your name?” Said Flutter Sparkle, wondering why any stallion would want to help her.
“I’m Bravery. And as for trying to help you, it looked like you could use some help. And here, I think this is yours.” Said the stallion, somehow levitating Her torn skirt over to her, which was now somehow fixed. With a poof, it was back on her, covering her diaper.”
“How did you do that?” She said gazing in awe at the stallion.
“Tell you what.” Said the stallion, let me take you home and I’ll tell you.
Flutter Sparkle agreed. She may’ve just met this stallion, but he had done a lot for her already, and besides, he did fix her skirt and stop everypony from laughing at her.
Together, they walked back to her house, a nice, two story home on the outside of Ponyville. Since she had just moved in, there were a few boxes still sitting around, but the couch was free, so they both took a seat.
“Thanks for your help.” Said Flutter Sparkle. “You really helped me out back there.”
“Don’t mention it.” Said Bravery. “I would’ve done it for anypony.”
“Speaking of which, how did you do those things, only unicorns can do magic, and you’re a pegasus.”
“Actually.” Said Bravery, moving his mane out of the way, exposing a white horn underneath. “I’m an alicorn.”
Flutter Sparkle looked at him, stunned. “Does that mean you’re royalty?” Said Flutter Sparkle, shocked that a member of the royal family may be sitting in her home.
“You’re correct.” Said Bravery. “Prince Bravery, nephew of Princess Celestia and Luna at you service.”
Flutter Sparkle immediately fell to the ground, bowing in respect. “Your highness, please forgive me I didn’t know you were royalty.” Said Flutter Sparkle, the sound of worry in her voice.
“Whoa, whoa, get off the floor. There’s no need for that.” Said Bravery, helping the mare to his feet. “Just because I’m royalty, doesn’t mean you have worship the ground I walk on.”
“Sorry.” Said Flutter Sparkle, embarrassed at her reaction.
“Don’t think about it. Hey, I just realized, I don’t even know your name.” Said Bravery.
“Oh. Silly me. I’m Flutter Sparkle.” She said.
“Flutter Sparkle. I should’ve guessed. A mare as beautiful as you would obvious have just as wonderful a name to match.” Said Bravery with a smile.
Flutter Sparkle blushed, she couldn’t believe this stallion was treating her so well. She had never heard anypony talk to her like he was before.
“So.” Said Bravery. “If you don’t mind me asking, why are you wearing a diaper anyway?”
Flutter Sparkle sat down and told Bravery everything. Her parents telling her she’d have to wear padding her whole life, the mean kids in Manehattan, everything.
“Wow.” Said Bravery. “I’m so sorry. It must be rough.”
Flutter Sparkle nodded. “That’s why I came to Ponyville. To start over. Looks like I screwed that up.” She said, beginning to cry again, wetting her diaper at the memory of exposing her padding in the town square.
Bravery threw his forelegs around her, bringing her into a hug. “You’re wrong. Believe it or not, there’s a lot of ponies here that will accept you for this. And those ponies in the square, they just thought it was funny. Give it time. You’ll make a lot of friends before you know it. You already have one right here.”
Flutter Sparkle returned the hug, glad that she had met a pony who accepted her for who she was. Diaper and all. “Th-thank you.” She said, doing her best to try and stop crying.
“You’re welcome.” Said Bravery. “Now, do you need a change?”
Flutter Sparkle nodded, moving to get up and get herself a new diaper in her room, but Bravery stopped her.
“Just relax.” Said Bravery. Flutter Sparkle was puzzled, wondering what her new friend was doing, until she saw a new diaper, wipes, and cleaning powder appear besides him.
“Just close your eyes and relax. I promise I’ll be quick.” Said Bravery, removing her skirt and then removing the plastic tapes on her diaper. At first, Flutter Sparkle wanted to scream and try and pull her skirt back on, but something stopped her.
It was that look in Bravery’s eyes. It spoke to her. It said, “I just want to help you. Just trust me.”
She layed down and relaxed, as Bravery pulled her bottom up by her rear legs, lifting the wet diaper out from under her, folding it up and laying it next to him to be disposed of later.
He then got out some wipes and began cleaning her rump, cleaning every inch carefully and gently.
Flutter Sparkle sighed in bliss. She had forgotten what is what like to be changed by someone else. She felt like a little foal again, wearing her padding at not having to worry about the teasing and pranks. All she had to worry about was being happy.
While Flutter Sparkle reminisced, Bravery was lifting her rump back up and sliding the new diaper under her bottom, taping it snuggly around her waist and giving it a light pat to show her he was finished.
“All done beautiful.” Said Bravery, reaching out a hoof and helping the mare up.
“Where did you learn to do that?” asked Flutter Sparkle, confused as to how the royal singer would know how to do such a trivial thing as change a diaper.
Bravery chuckled. “My cousin Princess Cadance was a foalsitter in her teen years. She taught me a thing or two when we would see each other about taking care of foals and young fillies and colts. Then when I came here, a met a stallion named Pokey Pierce. He was a foalsitter as well, but not just for little colts and fillies, but for full grown stallions and mares.
He told me that some stallions and mares have this inner wanting. A wanting to be who they truly are inside. He showed me some of these ponies, and offered me a part time job helping take care of them. I didn’t know what to think at first, but I got his reasoning. I took the job and cared of them. Each one was a little different, each wanting only a certain amount of the experience. But all wore diapers, and whether or not they wanted to use them or not I had to learn to put one on them properly. I actually enjoy the job. Seeing each one of their smiling faces makes me feel really good inside.
“Wow.” Said Flutter Sparkle, amazed that what Bravery was telling her was actually true. “How many are there?”
“Hard to say.” Said Bravery. “But if you saw everypony that was walking around Ponyville that enjoys being babied, you wouldn’t be able to look in any direction without seeing at least one or two.”
Flutter Sparkle laid back on the couch, taking in everything that Bravery had said. When bravery had changed her diaper, she had felt truly happy for the first time in her life again. Could this be what she really wanted? To be treated like a foal again?
Bravery looked at Flutter Sparkle. The mare hadn’t said anything for about five minutes, and he was beginning to worry about whether or not he should’ve told her all this.
“Flutter Sparkle? Are you okay?’ Said Bravery.
Flutter Sparkle blinked a few times, returning to reality.
“Can I try it?” Said Flutter Sparkle, deciding that maybe further looking into her inner foal may be a good idea.
“Sure. I’ll tell Pokey that we have a new client coming in. Is tomorrow at noon good for you?” Said Bravery.
Flutter Sparkle nodded.
Bravery teleported a quill and parchment on the table in front of them, wrote down a few things, and magically teleported it away.
“You’re all set. First visit is free, and you can stop coming at anytime. Feel free to bring any toys or other items you may wish to have while you’re there.” He Said.
“Thank you.” Said Flutter Sparkle, reaching her forelegs out to do what Bravery assumed was hug him, but was shocked when the mare wrapped her hooves behind his head and brought him in for a kiss.
At first, Bravery just sat there wide eyed that his new friend was kissing him, but decided to humor her and opened his lips, allowing her tongue entre into his as he returned the kiss.
The two remained like this for a bit, each enjoying the treatment the other was giving until Flutter Sparkle broke the kiss, looking at Bravery with a pleased expression.
“What was that for?” asked Bravery, wondering what had gotten into the mare that had just a few minutes ago been a shy, gentle pony before him.
“That.” She said. “Was a thank you for all you’ve done for me.”
Bravery blushed, glad the mare was so pleased.
“Bravery, will, you stay over tonight?” asked Flutter Sparkle, the shyness in her voice now returning
“For you, anything.” Said Bravery. He wasn’t sure what Flutter’s intentions were, but the last thing he wanted was to hurt her, and besides, what else was he gonna do tonight anyway.
“Yay!” said Flutter Sparkle, hugging Bravery again.
“So, should I sleep on the couch or do you have a guest room?” Said bravery, wanting to know where he would be staying tonight.
Flutter Sparkle giggled. “I don’t have a guest bed, and that couch isn’t comfortable to sleep on all night. You can just stay in my bed.”
Bravery blushed deep red. Kissing on the couch was one thing, but this mare wanted to sleep with him?
“Come on. It’s getting late.” Said Flutter Sparkle, leading Bravery by the hoof to her bedroom.
Once there, Flutter sparkle began to undress, removing her shirt and skirt, leaving her in just a white poofy diaper.
“Come on. Tale off your cloths, its summer and it’s hot.” She said, climbing into bed.
Bravery looked at the closed door. This was going a bit too far for him. Although he found Flutter Sparkle cute, and would love to date her, but sleeping with her without even much of a date? This was nuts!
He sighed. There was no turning back now. He wasn’t going to hurt the mares feelings. He did what she asked, removing his cloths down to his briefs and was about to climb into bed when Flutter Sparkle stopped him.
“You don’t need those.” She said, pointing at his underwear. “Take them off.”
Bravery gulped. He didn’t want to, but he cared about this mare. And if this is what would make her happy, then so be it.
He bent down, removing his underwear and stood before Flutter Sparkle, completely nude.
Bravery then climbed into bed, wrapping the covers around him and closing his eyes, ready to get some sleep.
“Bravery.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
“What?” Said Bravery, wondering what was on the Flutter Sparkle’s mind now.
“Can, I, uh, cuddle with you?” She said, her voice once again returning to its quiet tone.
At that moment, everything became clear to Bravery.  
Flutter Sparkle did like him like he liked her, but didn’t want to rush things. She wanted to be wrapped in the arms of a caring stallion that loved her, like the little foal she was inside.
“Of course my little filly.” Said Bravery, the both of them nudging close together, Bravery wrapping her in his forelegs.
Flutter Sparkle sighed. She felt it again. That feeling of being loved unconditionally. She knew Bravery was different. She knew she could trust him to never laugh at her or tease her. He understood her, and even shared her feelings toward him. She had no idea how her new life in Ponyville would play out, but she did know one thing. With Bravery by her side, there was nothing she couldn’t do.

Chapter 2
The True Meaning of Friendship Chapter 2
Sunlight filtered through Flutter Sparkle’s bedroom window as the mare opened her eyes, awakening from her slumber. The mare felt two forelegs around her neck and at first, was frightened that a monster was in her bed, but quickly remembered the events of yesterday in her mind.
She looked behind her a saw her friend Bravery, sleeping peacefully while still holding her in his loving embrace.
“He’s even adorable when he’s sleeping.” Thought Flutter Sparkle as she turned over to look at the clock on her bedside table.
“Nine thirty. Time to get up.” She thought, getting out of bed and walking downstairs, her wet diaper drooping down from the extra weight.
After going into the living room and changing her diaper, removing the tapes, wiping herself clean with some wipes, and applying some foal powder and diaper rash cream to herself, she sealed the tapes on her new diaper, wrapping the old one up and walking into her kitchen to dispose of it and make her and her guest some breakfast.
Flutter Sparkle began looking through the boxes around her kitchen and eventually finding two plates and a frying pan, setting the pan on the stove and the plates beside that on the counter. The mare then began gathering ingredients to make some pancakes, mixing all the ingredients together and putting the batter into the pan. By the time the last pancake was made, Bravery came downstairs, now dressed back in his white suit.
“Good morning Flutter Sparkle.” Said Bravery, a smile on his face at seeing his new friend again.
“Good morning Bravery. Sleep well?” Flutter Sparkle asked.
Bravery blushed. “Yeah, great actually.”
Flutter Sparkle picked up the two plates of pancakes and sat them on her back, walking over to the table and placing them both in front of two of the four chairs that were there.
“Take a seat and have some breakfast. Hope you’re hungry.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
Bravery gladly walked over, taking a seat and gazing at the delicious pancakes before him.
“You really didn’t have to do this. I could’ve just gotten something to eat on my way to work.” He said.
“Nonsense, you’re my guest, and besides, you said you’d take me there today.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
“Well thank you.” Said Bravery, eagerly digging into his breakfast. “These are great!”
Flutter Sparkle blushed. “You’re too kind, and you’re welcome.” She said, eagerly beginning to dig into her own stack of pancakes.
The two ate and chatted, mostly upon what Flutter Sparkle would experience once at Bravery’s place of work.
“So it’s basically like a daycare.” Said Flutter Sparkle, taking another bite of her pancakes.
“Right, each stallion or mare is taken care of and treated like a foal, although how deep they want the experience to be is there decision.” Said Bravery, taking a drink of milk from the glass Flutter Sparkle had poured for him.
“How deep can the experience go?” asked Flutter Sparkle, her curiosity about the place gaining with each word Bravery spoke.
“To a newborn foal if that’s how far they want to go back. The staff knows spells to put the mind in an almost dreamlike state, making them more sustainable to suggestions. The staff member than basically tells the pony the mindset they want them to have, once this is done, they’re reawakened with that mindset and we take care of them for the day. We can even give the pony the experience of being reborn from their mother’s womb.” Said Bravery, watching Flutter Sparkle on the edge of her seat from every detail he spoke.
“What can you have them do?” Asked Flutter Sparkle.
“Just about anything. We can reduce, or completely get rid of their toilet training, make them more curious to things around them, make them see us as their moms or dads. Whatever they want.” Said Bravery.
“Does it hurt? Is it scary?” Asked Flutter Sparkle, worried about what may happen to her if she choose to do this.
“Not at all. We care about all our little foals, and want them to feel as happy and safe as possible at all times. Everypony I’ve done it to seems in complete bliss when I do it to them.” Said Bravery, a smile on his face remembering the happy faces.
“What else can you all do? Do we have to be put under hypnosis?” Asked Flutter Sparkle, now clearing her and Bravery’s plates and rinsing them in the sink to be washed later.
“No, actually the most subtle things we can do is put them in a pull-up and some childish cloths and give them a daycare like experience, with them just letting their imaginations guide them. They can even interact with other adult foals like them. We recommend this for all new arrivals, but what they want is up to them.” Said Bavery. “Oh! Ten thirty, we better get going, my shift starts soon.”
“Great! Let’s go!” Said Flutter Sparkle, eager to try this new experience.
“Uh Flutter Sparkle,” Said Bravery pointing to her wet diaper. “Looks like you need a change.”
Flutter Sparkle blushed. She was so excited about going with Bravery to the daycare that she hadn’t even noticed her diaper was wet.
“Come on into the living room and I’ll change you.” Said Bravery, walking into the other room to get everything ready.
Flutter Sparkle followed, coming into the living room and laying down on the changing mat so Bravery could work.
Once again, a strange nostalgia came over Flutter Sparkle. She liked being cared for. It made her feel like she didn’t have a care in the world, like nothing else mattered. “This feeling.” Thought Flutter Sparkle. “It feels so right, but, is this really what I want?” She looked up at Bravery. “Is it because of him? Is it because I’ve finally found somepony that accepts me for who I am?”
“All done!” Said Bravery, giving her padded bottom a playful swat and knocking Flutter Sparkle out of her deep thoughts. Bravery then helped her to her hooves, and she went upstairs to get dressed. She returned a few minutes later, wearing a purple shirt with her cutie mark on it and her navy blue skirt like she wore yesterday.
“You know, you really do look cute in that outfit.” Said Bravery, holding the door open for Flutter Sparkle.
“Really? Thanks!” Said Flutter Sparkle, walking outside with Bravery closing the door behind him and taking the lead, leading them both to the daycare.
The two friends walked and talked, making conversation as not to make the situation awkward. Flutter Sparkle was just telling Bravery about her family’s vacation to Las Pegasus when she suddenly shrieked and hid behind Bravery, shaking with fear.
‘Hey, what’s wrong? What is it?” Said Bravery, bending down and looking the mare in her eyes.
“It-It’s th-them.” Said Flutter Sparkle, pointing a hoof down the street.
Bravery followed her jester, looking down the street and seeing the two fillies who had teased her yesterday.
The two grade school fillies were walking down the street, skirts now adorning their flanks to hide their diapered bottoms.
“It’s alright.” Said Bravery, turning back to Flutter Sparkle and coaxing her to her feet. “They aren’t going to bother you. I’m here, and if they do, I’ll make them stop. I promise.”
Flutter Sparkle nodded and began walking alongside Bravery again walking past the two grade school fillies who blushed as the Bravery and Flutter Sparkle walked past.
When they had rounded the corner, Bravery spoke. “You see, told you they wouldn’t be a problem.” Said Bravery. “Now come on, you were just telling me about the view of the city from up in the mountains.
Flutter Sparkle continued her story, and it wasn’t long before Bravery stopped walking and arrived at their destination.
“Here we are.” Said Bravery, jesting to the building in front of them.
Flutter Sparkle looked at it with interest. The building was all white except for the sign which said, “Pokey’s Pony Daycare, for the foal in all of us” which was written how a foal would write it in crayon.
“Let’s get you signed in.” Said Bravery, leading Flutter Sparkle to the door and holding it open for her.
Inside the building looked how you’d expect a foal daycare center to look. Numbers and letters were painted on the walls, as well as teddy bears and other things cubs liked. At the desk stood a gray unicorn with a diaper pin as his cutie mark with a blue coat and light blue and white mane. He had a trusting nature about him, a relaxed posture and handsome look that just made you feel safe.
“Hey Pokey, how’s everything going?” Said Bravery as he walked over to the counter, giving Pokey a hug.
“Not too bad Bravery. All the foals have almost arrived. Just two more ponies and that’s everpony. I take it she’s a new charge?” Said Pokey, jesting to Flutter Sparkle.
“Yeah. This is Flutter Sparkle. She’s new in town and wanted to try our place out.” Said Bravery.
“Nice to meet you Flutter Sparkle.” Said Pokey, offering a hoof to shake which Flutter gladly accepted.
“So do you know what kind of care you’d like to receive? This being your first time we would recommend putting you in a basic daycare setting where we’d just take care of you and you can interact and socialize with other adult foals. Does this sound ok to you?”
“I guess so. I don’t really wanna rush into it too fast.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
“That’s understandable. Please don’t worry too much though. This is a warm and comforting world you’re entering into Miss Sparkle. I’m sure you’ll enjoy your time with us. Just follow Bravery and he’ll show you to our daycare center. Feel free to stay as long as you like or leave whenever you are ready.”
“Right this way then.” Said Bravery jestering down the hall.
“Thank you!” Said flutter Sparkle, following behind Bravery.
“So you excited?” Asked Bravery.
“Actually yes. But will you be there with me? I’m still a little scared.” Said Flutter Sparkle, easing closer to Bravery.
“Of course. All our charges are in this room. We find it easier for them to be themselves with others. I promise no one here will judge you.” Said Bravery, stopping in front of a door with lod noise coming from inside.
“Here we are!” Said bravery opening the door.  
The sight the greeted Flutter Sparkle was one that left her both mesmerized and astounded.
The place looked like any normal daycare, except that everything was sized for full grown ponies.
There was a book shelf against one wall where a purple unicorn wearing a red dress appeared to be reading foal’s book inside a book fort, in another part of the room a pink earth pony wearing nothing but a pink soiled diaper and a white unicorn wearing a purple bedazzled shirt that matched her mane were drawing different things with crayons on construction paper, in one corner of the room there was a yellow pegasus caretaker in a rocking chair with a orange earth pony in her lap feeding her a bottle, over by toy chest a cyan colored pony played with toy soldiers making them fight each other, and even more ponies all around the room playing with different foal toys and all in a childish type of clothing.
“Whatcha think?” Asked Bravery a smug smile on his face.
“It’s wonderful!” Said Flutter sparkle as she gazed around at everything once more. “It just feels so warm and inviting.”
“I’m glad you like it. Now, would you like anything different to wear or a different type of diaper? We’ve got different styles and thickness of diapers as well as other cloths for everpony to wear.”
Flutter Sparkle thought for a moment. “I think I’ll just stick with what I have on for now.” She said. She figured she might try that out another day.
“Alright then. Go on and play then. If you need anything, just let me know.” Said Bravery as he walked over to go change the pink pony into a fresh diaper.
Flutter Sparkle decided to wander over to the purple unicorn that was reading. She seemed quiet and nice to start off talking to.
She wandered over and stood outside of the book fort, where the noticeable bulge of a diaper was visible under the mare’s dress.
The purple pony soon took notice of the visitor outside her fort and looked up from her book to address her.
“Oh hi! You must be new here. Would you like to read with me?”
Flutter Sparkle nodded shyly. She did like reading when she had free time.
She crawled in next to the mare with the same colored coat as her and got cozy.
“Any book you had in mind?” asked the unicorn.
“Goldielocks and the three dragons sounds nice.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
The unicorn smiled and levitated the book toward her. “That’s a good one. I’m Twilight Sparkle by the way.”
“Flutter Sparkle.” Said Flutter.
“How long have you been an adult foal?” Said Twilight.
“My whole life I guess. I’ve been stuck in diapers for forever. I’ve just never been able to be potty trained. Doctors couldn’t figure it out.” Said Flutter Sparkle, tears welling up in her eyes. “I hate thinking about it.”
“Hey come here.” Said Twilight, bringing the fellow unicorn into a hug. “You don’t have to worry about it here. In fact, a lot of ponies here may envy you. I’d know I’d like to keep my diaper on all the time. You have an excuse for it so they have no place to pick on you.”
Flutter Sparkle sniffled. “You really think so?” Said Flutter Sparkle.
“Of course. It’s just part of who you are. You can’t help it. Besides, I think it makes you look cute.” Said Twilight Sparkle.
Flutter Sparkle blushed. “Thanks Twilight. You’re so nice.”
The two ponies continued talking for the next hour or so, reading their books and talking to each other about their lives.
Twilight explained how she had gotten into diapers after reminiscing about her foalhood one day and realized she had grown up quite fast and decided to experience what it was like to act like a foal. She was surprised to find it quite enjoyable and decided to embrace her foalish side and found the daycare. Plus her friends sharing the same interest made it even more enjoyable.
“Wow, so you don’t feel shy that your friends know you wear diapers?” Asked Flutter Sparkle.
“Not at all. Even if they didn’t wear them also we’re still friends. We can share things with each other. Just like you and Bravery.” Said Twilight.
Flutter Sparkle smiled. She did feel like she could be honest with Bravery. He certainly had been a good friend for just meeting her.
Suddenly Flutter Sparkle felt the crapping in her stomach that told her she was about to mess her diaper.
She began to get up and get out for risk of stinking up the book fort when twilight stopped her.
“Where are you going?” Asked Twilight.
“Well I didn’t want to make the fort smell so I was gonna do it outside.”
“Oh I don’t mind. Stay. I wanna talk more with you.” Said Twilight, patting the space to her side.
“Well o-ok.” Said Flutter Sparkle blushing a little. Going in her diaper in public was different since no one actually knew she was even wearing one or when she would go. Messing her diaper next to another pony just felt, odd.
She crawled back next to Twilight and settled back in. A look of embarrassment apparent on her face.
“Just try and relax.” Said Twilight. “Close your eyes and focus on the feeling. You may be surprised how great it feels.”
Flutter did ask Twilight told her, focusing as she pushed the waste into the seat of her diaper and feeling it compressed against her butt. It felt warm and squishy and surprisingly relaxing.
She let out a sigh as she finished, then sat back onto the floor and felt the mess spread even more around the seat and into the front of her diaper, letting an excited eepp escape her muzzle and a grin cross her face.
“Enjoying yourself?” Said Twilight with a smug smile on her face.
“Oh yes!” Said flutter Sparkle still inthralled with the feelings messing her diaper gave her. It made her feel so young and carefree.
“I knew you’d like it.” Said Twilight. I remember my first time. I loved it so much.
The two both continued reading when Flutter had a thought.
“Have I been living in fear all these years about my diaper predicament for nothing? Did I just assume everypony was only seeing me as a pathetic diapered mare?”
Flutter Sparkle thought about this until Twilight nudged her in her side and told her it was time to go.
The two climbed out of the book fort and got in line to be changed where Twilight introduced her to her friends Rarity, Pinkie pie, Rainbow dash, and Applejack, who all gave her a happy hello and made her feel very welcome.
It wasn’t long until they both got to the front of the line and a yellow pegasus about their age lifted twilight up and onto the changing table where Flutter Sparkle was surprised at just how used Twilight’s diaper was.
The front of her diaper was completely stained yellow and the seat of her diaper completely brown.
“How in Equestria is your diaper holding all that? Mine can barely standing two wettings and one mess.” Said Flutter Sparkle astounded.
“They’re special diapers the daycare sells.” Said Twilight as she was changed out of her diaper for the day. “I’m sure Pokey would be more than happy to sell you a pack.”
“I may just have to take him up on that.” Said Flutter Sparkle as Twilight stepped down of the changing table, her rump now clean and no diaper adorning it.  
“This is Fluttershy by the way. She’s one of the caretakers here and another one of my best friends.” Said Twilight.
“Nice to meet you.” Said Fluttershy as she helped Flutter Sparkle up onto the table while Twilight waited next to it.
The pegasus took careful care as she untapped the diaper from Flutter Sparkle’s waist, lifting her legs up and sliding the diaper out from under her and wiping her clean before tapping a fresh, clean diaper around her waist.
“There you are little one. Hope to see you here again tomorrow!” Said Fluttershy as Flutter Sparkle stepped down off the changing table and meet with Twilight to say goodbye.
“It was really nice hanging out with you today Twilight. I hope we can do it again tomorrow.” Said Flutter.
“Of course. I’m sure my other friends will love hanging out with you too though.” Said Twilight as the two made their way to the lobby for Flutter to meet up with Bravery and Twilight to meet up with her friends.
“Bye Flutter! See ya tomorrow!” Said Twilight as she and her friends left.
“So did you enjoy today?” Asked Bravery. “I saw you hanging out with Twilight.”
“Oh it was wonderful! I felt so normal for once and not the manticore in the room.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
“That’s great. Would you like me to walk you home?” Said Bravery.
“That sounds wonderful.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
The whole way home the two ponies talked about their days respectively and Flutter Sparkle visibly seemed much more confident with herself then on her way there that morning.
It wasn’t long before both ponies were at Flutter Sparkle’s residence and where, after a quick dinner together and a farewell from Bravery, Flutter Sparkle had cleaned up the dishes, got a shower, put on a fresh diaper, and turned in for the night.
As she sat in bed, she reflected on her day. It had been the most fun she’d had since she hadn’t known when. She had made another new friend and for the first time felt a bit comfortable with the poofy garment between her legs. She was sure she’d be back at the daycare more often.
As she was about to doze off, she felt the knowing feeling of herself about to wet her diaper.
Just as twilight had told her, she relaxed and thought of herself as just a little foal, going in her diaper like she was supposed to. As she finished, feeling the warm pee against her crotch, two words escaped her muzzle in a whisper.
“Good baby…”

Chapter 3
Flutter Sparkle gave a sigh of bliss as Fluttershy changed her diaper on the changing table in the day care.
It had been about a week since her first visit to the day care and she found visiting the place of likeminded ponies that shared her diaper lifestyle was a nice addition to her daily routine.
Since then she had meet all of Twilight’s friends and had become more comfortable with her diaper dependency than ever before. Bravery and her had become extremely good friends as well, they had both slept over at each other’s houses a few times that week and Flutter found him to almost be like a caretaker to her.
“There we go, all done sweetie.” Said Fluttershy, giving Flutter Sparkle’s diaper a pat to tell her to get up.
“Thank you Fluttershy.” Said Flutter Sparkle, getting down from the changing table and looking around the room to see what to do next. She decided to try the indoor swimming pool out in the room next door.
She had noticed the pool the second day of her visit while walking to the day care room and decided now was as good a time as any to give the pool a try. It was the same as any other pool she had seen before. A large in ground pool with a shallow and deep end, but this one was much more foalish.
Things like tiny animal graphics decorated the walls and the inside of the pool, and pool toys were scattered everywhere. And of course everypony’s butts were adorned in adorable swim diapers with mares sporting pink ones with purple accents and stallions sporting baby blue ones with dark blue accents.
Flutter Sparkle walked over to the locker room that was next to the pool room to get changed into her pool attire. Swim suits, goggles, water wings, rafts, and other pool toys were available to buy here as well as swim diapers were available at a table inside the room with the locker a short walk away to put everypony’s cloths and diapers in while they swam.
Flutter Sparkle walked over to the booth and asked for a pool diaper which, after giving the sales pony her size and two bits, was handed to her with a warm smile appearing upon the purple pony’s face. She reminisced upon her fillyhood of such a thing adorning her flank when she swam as a filly. She also remembered it was the reason she had not gone swimming for a number of years since she had felt so embarrassed about anypony seeing her as she grew older still wearing the things around her waist.
Such a fear though was not felt in Flutter Sparkle’s heart now though as she walked over to an available locker and pulled the key out of the key slot. Opting to diaper herself in the swim diaper instead of having a caretaker put it on her since she had just had a change and did not want to wait in line and have to take longer to start her dip in the pool. She sat down on the bench and untapped her diaper, stepping off the bench and then grabbing the pink, poofy swim diaper and slide it up in-between her hind legs.
Feeling her legs pushed a little farther apart then they were just a few seconds ago, she put her diaper, shirt, and skirt into the locker and locked it with the key, putting the elastic rope the string was attached to around her hoof to hold on to and trotted out into the pool area. She walked over to the ramp that led into the pool and slowly but surely, eased her way into the water.
“This feels so nice.” Thought Flutter as she the water creep over her fur until it reached half way up her body, leaving her back above water and her belly submerged.
She started by lifting her legs up and paddling, getting use to swimming again and finding she was still pretty good despite not doing it for so long. She then went on her back and did some back strokes, enjoying the fluid movement she was making in the water. Other ponies glanced over at her, impressed by her skills at swimming.
“I can’t believe I haven’t done this in so long.” She thought, swimming around the square that was the shallow end of the pool.
She eventually grew tired of her swimming alone and looked over to see her friend Pinkie Pie swimming around as well and decided to paddle over and say hello.
Pinkie was certainly energetic when Flutter has first met her. She had been the most active and juvenile it seemed out of the other adult foals at the day care. Building with blocks and running around playing tag seemed to be her favorite activities.
“Hi Pinkie!” Said Flutter as she approached the pink party pony. She was wearing a one piece swim suit that did a poor job of hiding the bulge of her swim diaper underneath. On the front, her swimsuit said, “Party Princess” in big pink letters, while the rest of the outfit had pink polka dots and had pink frills on her butt all in different shades of pink.
“Hi Flutter! Finally decided to give the pool a try huh?” Said Pinkie.
“Yeah. I wish I tried it sooner. I forgot how fun swimming can be.”
“You know it!” Said Pinkie enthusiastically. “You wanna play Mareco Ponylo with me?”
“Oh yes! I haven’t played that in years!” Said Flutter.
The two adult foals got started, with Pinkie being the seeker and Flutter the swimmer. The two giggled as they played, their swim diapers making it a bit difficult to move around, which only made them giddier.
“Mareco!” Said Pinkie, awaiting Flutter Sparkle’s response.
“Ponylo!” Said Flutter Sparkle.
Pinkie lunged in the direction she heard the voice come from and caught Flutter Sparkle, sending the two ponies under the water, both popping up again moments later in a fit of foalish giggles.
“You’re pretty good at this Flutter. I’m usually able to find most ponies after 3 ponylos.” Said Pinkie Pie.
“Well I was the best at the pool back in Manehattan. Guess I haven’t lost my touch.”
“I’ll say. Hey! You wanna try going off the high dive board? It’s really fun.” Said Pinkie with an excited grin.
Flutter Sparkle looked over at the diving board at the deep end. A few ponies, mostly stallions, were doing tricks in mid air before landing in the water.
She had never gone off a diving board before, preferring more quiet games with friends then ones that involved risk.
“I don’t know Pinkie. It looks really high.” Said Flutter with a slight jitter.
“Please! You’ll love it. I’ll even go first to show you there’s nothing to be scared of.” Said Pinkie with pleading eyes.
Flutter Sparkle sighed. She didn’t want to make her friend sad. Plus maybe it could be fun.
“Well okay, if you say it’s really fun.” She said.
“Yay! Come on then! I’ll race you to the ladder!” Said Pinkie swimming off toward the ramp to get out of the pool with Flutter Sparkle not far behind her.
Upon getting out of the pool Flutter Sparkle was surprised to find that besides the wetness in her diaper from her wetting it a few times, the rest of the diaper had stayed dry inside. Whatever company had designed them had certainly kept an eye on quality as well as looks.
Pinkie and Flutter then continued on toward the ladder of the diving board, waddling all the way there and up the ladder until both ponies stood atop the diving board.
“You just gotta have fun with it. Here, watch me!” Said Pinkie Pie, galloping toward the end of the board and jumping off the end and doing a cannon ball into the pool, making a big splash.
The pink party pony emerged from the water moments later with a bright smile.
“See! Nothing to it! Come on down!” Said Pinkie, swimming over to the side of the pool to allow her friend avid room to do her own stunt.
Flutter Sparkle stood near the ladder, almost debating going back down it and chickening out. It seemed much high on the board and she was a bit scared being up on the board by herself now. But she couldn’t disappoint Pinkie Pie. She was her friend after all.
Closing her eyes, Flutter Sparkle galloped toward the end of the board at full gallop and jumping off, deciding to do a dive like she had seen the adult stallion foals doing earlier. She dove straight down, with both her front hooves together and her forelegs placed above her head. Her elegant form falling into the water with a splash.
Flutter Sparkle then swam to the water’s surface and breathed in fresh air.
“Pinkie was right. That was really fun. Exciting too.” She thought.
Flutter Sparkle’s thoughts were interrupted though by the loud laughing of her friend at the side of the pool who was almost in tears.
“What’s so funny Pinkie?” Asked Flutter Sparkle with a confused look on her face.
“Ha ha, nothing. I just wasn’t expecting to see a full moon in here. And during the day at that!” Said Pinkie, continuing her laughing spree.
“Full moon?” What are you talking abou-” Said Flutter Sparkle as she suddenly realized she felt a complete wetness around her waist and crotch that hadn’t been there before. Upon looking down she found her pink swim diaper was no longer around her bottom and made a startling realization.
Unlike herself the stallions that had been doing dives earlier had swim trunks on over their swim diapers which had prevented them from flying off by having the water pass over their trunks and not inside the waistline of their padding like Flutter’s had.
Without a cover over her diaper the force of the water had been so strong entering the absorbent garment that it had forced it right off her butt and hind legs to be floating next to her in the water.
The other adult foals had taken notice of Flutter’s now bare hindquarters on display for all to see and began laughing along with Pinkie Pie at her predicament.
Flutter Sparkle began to blush bright red at the humiliation she felt with everypony looking and laughing at her. She grabbed her swim diaper and began to try and put it on while in the pool but finding it quite difficult and began struggling trying to get her legs into the holes which only made the other ponies laugh more at here.
“Oh great. Now I’m a big joke. How am I ever gonna come back here again? Everypony will just laugh at me,” She thought, tears starting to well in her eyes. She was about to start full on crying when a voice suddenly rang out through the room.
“Alright everypony give it a rest.” Flutter Sparkle turned around to find Bravery swimming right beside her. He was wearing red swim trunks and had a whistle around his neck.
“Now we all know it’s not nice to laugh at other ponies. You wouldn’t want everypony laughing at you would you?” Asked the stallion to the other swimmers.
“No…” Said the other ponies looking down guiltily.
“That’s right. Now I want you all to apologize to Flutter Sparkle right now ok?” Said Bravery.
“We’re sorry Flutter Sparkle.” Said the other ponies.
Flutter Sparkle blinked the tears out of her eyes and gave a small smile. “It’s ok everypony. It was a little funny.” She said, giggling about how funny she probably looked without a diaper on in a room of otherwise diapered adult foals.
“Alright then. Let’s go get you a new diaper now shall we? Said Bravery, leading her over to a ladder at the side of the pool. The two ponies got out and began walking towards the locker rooms where Flutter Sparkle sat on a bench while Bravery went and got her diaper out of her locker, Flutter Sparkle deciding she had enough swimming for one day.
Bravery dried her up a bit with a towel then lifted her legs up and slide Flutter Sparkle’s diaper under her butt, taking extra care to put baby powder all over her diaper area and bottom before lifting the diaper front between her legs and refastening the tapes, completing Flutter Sparkle’s change back into her thickly padded diapers.
“There ya go. All set cutie.” Said Bravery as he moved off the bench to allow Flutter to sit up and get off the bench herself.
“Thanks Bravery. I really appreciate it.” Said Flutter, the two friends sharing a hug as a show of thanks.
It was at that moment caretaker and adult foal saw Pinkie Pie enter the locker room.
“Hey Flutter. I just wanted to say I’m supper dopper sorry I laughed at ya.” Said Pinkie with a frown on her face.
“That’s alright.” Said Flutter Sparkle. “It was pretty funny actually.”
The friends giggled a bit thinking back to the awkward moment.
“I guess I should look into buying a swim suit next time.” Said Flutter Sparkle.
It was then that the chiming of a clock was heard and the two adult foals and care taker looked at the clock to find that it was now nine pm.
“Looks like it’s time to close up shop.” Said Bravery. “You girls have a good night and I hope to see you both here tomorrow.”
“Good night Bravery!” Said Flutter and Pinkie, both giving the caretaker a hug.
Both ponies went to the locker room to change, Pinkie taking her swim diaper off and depositing it in the waste basket while Flutter Sparkle opted to keep her swim diaper on. It wasn’t wet and she figured she might as well keep it on until she used it instead of wasting it. Plus she did like the color.
The friends then went to their respective lockers to grab their things before hugging goodbye and heading back to their respective homes.
As Flutter Sparkle walked home, she couldn’t help but smile at all her great experiences she’d had over the past couple days. She had made so many new friends and knew she’d likely make more at the day care in time.
Upon arriving home, she made herself a sandwich and walked up to her room to eat it, just realizing she had been so happy she had forgotten to put on her shirt and skirt in the changing room. Instead, she had carried her cloths and regular diaper on her back instead. She had walked the whole way home in just her pink swim diaper. Even stranger, she couldn’t remember anypony giving her strange looks that she had passed on her way home.
As she reached her room she placed the plate with her sandwich on it on her nightstand, laying in bed and picking up her sandwich with her magic and nibbling on it as she reflected upon all this.
Had nopony really noticed her diaper as they walked past her? And how had she forgotten to put her cloths on before leaving daycare?
She had probably been so excited when she was with Pinkie that she had just forgotten to put her cloths on when she was in the locker room, but she was so surprised her inhibitions had not shown themselves to tell her to cover her padded tushie before going out in public. This was all easy for her to understand, but why had nopony else even noticed?
She had to have passed at least a dozen or so ponies on her way home, not to mention Pinkie Pie. Had none of them even noticed her diaper? She thought about each pony she had pasted on the street. None of them even seemed to give her second look. A few had even given her a warm smile and nod as they passed by her.
The thing that seemed to surprise her the most though was that she wasn’t at all embarrassed about what she had done. Before she would’ve been so embarrassed if anypony saw her in her diapers but now she just felt…normal?
The fact that other ponies had seen her padded didn’t seem to bother her in the least. She still felt she should’ve put her cloths on just for normalcy sake but not to cover her padding. Her perception on her cloths had changed from something she used to cover her incontinence to something she just felt looked nice on her.
As she finished her sandwich she gazed out her bedroom window in thought as Celestia’s sun began to set below the horizon.
Being at the daycare had seemed to make her worries disappear about her bladder and bowels. How other ponies felt about her didn’t seem to matter now that she had friends that accepted her for it.
She smiled and chuckled at the situation. Who would’ve thought that all she needed to get over her insecurities would be a group of friends by her side to make her feel self worth? It felt good. Great even.
She knew her new friends would forever be by her side, and she planned to do the same for them. She felt for the first time in her life that anything was possible. All of Equestria was at her hooves with a world of possibilities. And she planned to take advantage of those possibilities.
But not right now. Now the day was over and it was time to go to sleep. But first, a diaper change. She had wet her diaper while she was deep in thought.
She chuckled and she felt her wet padding between her legs. “You’re not going to bother me anymore.” She said with confidence as she got up and went to gather her diaper supplies.
“This must be how other ponies feel.” She thought as she untapped her wet swim diaper and tossed it in the trash. “This must be the true meaning of friendship.” She smiled at this thought and finished diapering herself and headed off to bed, a spring in her step.
Author's Note
Yes after a little over 3 years the final chapter is finished. Believe it or not I wrote different parts of this chapter over those three years. Finding inspiration was very difficult until yesterday when I suddenly figured out how I wanted the story to end in a way I felt made sense. I hope you all enjoyed the ending to Flutter Sparkle’s story.
