I might not be able to keep with the daily updates, guys. Keyword might. I'm starting *shudders* community college soon so I might need to change from nightly to maybe every other night. Just a warning heads up. I'm not sure. But just in case, you know?

You know how your body just knows someone's going to wake you up so it lets you know beforehand? It happened to me just after I heard the creaking of the door open. I didn't even know I fell asleep but I know I didn't dream. I also knew it was Jade who pulled the blanket off me and shook my shoulder.

"Get up, Tori," she said, "Dinner will be ready soon. Let's get you dressed and all that chiz."

I covered my mouth as a yawn came up, "What time's it...? Ow!" In the midst of a good yawn, I was pulled into a sitting position half done by having my hair pulled. "Jade!"

"It's five-forty-five right now and I only have fifteen minutes to get you a fresh diaper, outfit and do your hair," she explained, pulling me up by the arm, "You and Cat are going to get a surprise tonight from me and Beck, so stop asking stupid questions and just go with it."

Rolling my eyes and yawning once again, I stood up properly before being dragged yet again by a stressed Jade to the master bedroom where Cat was watching a colorful show on the floor next to the bed. She had on a big pink dress with two yellow balloons on it and a blue balloon in between the two. Her hair was pulled into cute twin pigtails that stuck out the sides of her head like two floppy horns. She didn't seem to notice or care about us walking in, too preoccupied with her show.

"Go, Wainbow-Dashie!" she cried, pumping a fist up in the air, "Yay!"

Jade and I exchanged neutral glances before she went to the bathroom to change the towel. I sat down on the floor next to Cat and tried not to grimace when I felt not only the sticky wetness of the nappy, but the new, almost painful relief when I realized I had... relieved myself. Just in case, I scooted a little ways away from the redheaded 'kitten'.

"Whatcha watching, Cat?" I asked, taking a look at the screen. A black horse with a blue mane filled with stars entered the screen, talking in a majestic villainous voice that reminded me of Maleficent.

"My Wittle Pony: Fwiendship is Magic!" she squealed, "That big black pony is Nightmarwe Moon! She scarwy."

"Oh yeah, I heard about that show... aren't they making the fourth season right about now?" My eyes darted to Jade standing in the doorway of the master bathroom with a towel in her hands and a smirk playing at her lips. She nodded towards the bed. Automatically, my legs carried me to wait by the bed for her to lay the towel down and do the deed. I hope Cat doesn't turn around.

Jade laid the towel on the bed and slowly removed the onesie, eyeing every part of my mostly naked body with intense concentration. I bit my lip while she licked hers and tossed the clothing item to the ground. I lay down on the towel.

Next to me on the ground Cat lowered the volume of the television just a bit. "Mama, who's your fav'wite pony? I wike Pinkie Pie!"

That explains so much. Not.

Jade turned her head. She had just undone the other tab on the diaper and was about to remove it when we heard the Moon pony speak again:

"Stand back, you foals!"

There came an evil laugh and then it disappeared in a puff of smoke.

"That one," Jade chuckled, turning back and removing the diaper from underneath me. Hallelujah! She laughed at the face I must've made, "That feel good?"

"Oh, yes...!" I moaned.

Jade snorted and grabbed a wipe. "Actually," she said turning to Cat again, probably to make it less awkward for us as she wiped me down, "I really like that orange one – Applejack."

I wanted to ask if Applejack was a type of cereal but didn't get the chance to before the topic was dropped.

When she finished changing my nappy – and trust me, I'm still not used to it – Jade had me choose a dress to wear. Both were really frilly and big and... pink. Not that there's anything wrong with pink... but just there was so much of it. I honestly think I wasn't originally part of this whole baby thing because it all seems more like Cat's style than mine. I would've bought a few shades of baby blue or something.

"Well?" Jade asked, lifting each dress up to show me, "The left one or the right, Tori?"

I grimaced. "Does it really matter? I'll match with Cat either way, right?"

"Yeah..." she smirked, "Mommy's cute little pink–"

"Don't even go there."

xXx

I swear to God I look absolutely ridiculous. My hair was not meant for braids. They might look good on some people, but not me. Jade and Cat insist I look fine. Cute, even.

"But isn't this a bit much for even a little girl with long hair?" I protested as Jade adjusted the braids to be made into little nooses, "I mean... can't you just tie my hair in pigtails like Cat's and be done with it?"

"Nope," Jade said simply, working on the last braid, "I think you look fine. It's my work, of course, so don't bounce around too much tonight, okay?"

Cat, still on the floor, tugged at Jade's skirt, "Wha' bout me, Mommy?"

"You?" Cat nodded. "Behave like a good girl and you'll get two bedtime stories tonight... or something."

Cat giggled, practically jumping up from the floor. "Kaykay!" she exclaimed, continuing to bounce.

Jade tried hard to ignore it, constantly juggling her attention from me and my hair to Cat actually just being bubbly Cat. Not even a few seconds later she gave up on me to restrain her from annoying her even further. I watched the interaction with an uneasy feeling poking me. There was some other bond visible here – something that even exceeds Jade and Cat's best friend statuses that made them look so much better than being paired with either of them myself. I really want to say that it isn't envy poking me in the ribs.

I see how gentle Jade handles Cat, like she really was her own mother. I also see Cat's reaction to Jade grabbing her by the shoulders trying to keep her grounded to the floor and to 'stop that damn bouncing' was to give her this bright smile like she heard her and was really trying through all her excitement.

It was cute, in a way, but it made me wonder... why doesn't Jade handle me that way like she handles Cat so naturally? I realize there was a huge difference between Cat and I, but was there really? I get excited as she did, but Jade's reactions to us were completely different.

Due to the little delay, we finished my hair at about 6:04pm and went down the stairs with Jade holding on to Cat and my hands in her own. I wonder what the special surprise was for Cat and I to have to doll up and hold Jade's hand. She usually was satisfied with my wrists, and it's not like I could run away in this getup.

Then there came the voices.

"So, what's this all about?" asked the first.

The second, a little more eager, said quickly, "I prepared and brought my favorite with me tonight!"

"You did? Prepared for what?"

"This!"

Fuck.

"Surprise, girls," Jade whispered smoothly, "Surprise, surprise."

I didn't have to look to know she was probably grinning like the Joker.

I wanted to make this more dramatic.
