It had been quite a while since Fluttershy had managed to convince Twilight to do some more "roleplaying". Twilight's royal duties as a princess had kept her very busy. But when she had finally managed to find the time she and Fluttershy had enjoyed every bit of it. Fluttershy always thought that Twilight would make a great mother, and anypony could probably agree that Fluttershy was the cutest baby anypony could ask for.
So it wasn't much of a surprise when Fluttershy decided she wanted to do once again. But before she did so she made sure that everything in her giant nursery was ready. The diapers were folded, and stacked neatly on the changing bench. All the foalish dresses were hung up properly. And the sheets for the crib were neatly tucked in. Once she was certain that everything was where it should be Fluttershy set off.
It was only a few minutes later that she was at the Ponyville Golden Oaks Library, knocking on the front door. Twilight opened it, and greated Fluttershy with a smile. "Hello Fluttershy." she said cheerfully "What brings you here today?"
"Oh, you know, I was hoping we could do that 'special thing' again." Fluttershy said.
"You mean, where you let me baby you for an evening?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. I know it's kind of sudden, but I really wanted to do it again." Fluttershy said.
"Well. as much as I want to Fluttershy I can't." Twilight sighed.
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.
"I'm very busy. With the Equestria Games coming up in a matter of weeks I've got to make sure I'm ready to help oversee them. I'll have help from Miss. Harshwhinny and probably Princess Cadence as well. But I'll be under a lot of pressure, and I need to make sure I'm prepared." Twilight explained "I'm sorry Fluttershy, but I'm gonna have to take a rain check on our little 'bonding experience'."
"Oh, okay. I see." Fluttershy said, somewhat sadly "Well, I wouldn't want to hold you up. Guess I'll just head on back to my cottage."
"I really am sorry Fluttershy. And I promise I'll make it up to you at some point." Twilight said "But in the mean time why don't you ask someone else? You know, like one of our friends?"
"But you're the only pony I've ever told my secret to." Fluttershy said "I don't know if I can trust anyone else. What if our friends think I'm weird, or something?"
"I doubt they'd do that. Friends are very understanding." Twilight said "And they always respect each other's secrets. I'm sure that if you just tell them they'll understand."
"I guess I can think about it." Fluttershy said. And left the library without saying anything else. She trotted back to her cottage, trying to hold back tears. She was still considering what Twilight had said. She could try one of her other friends, but would any of them understand her fetish? Or would they just look at her like she was some sort of freak? Plus would any of them ever agree to what she would propose?
She thought so much about this that she almost didn't notice when she arrived back at her cottage. But she had little time to feel sorry for herself. Because at that moment her eyes spotted a familiar face. It was Discord, the reformed spirit of chaos and disharmony. And from the looks of things he had just stopped by for a visit.
"Oh, there you are Fluttershy. I was wondering where you'd wandered off to." Discord said, his smile as bright as ever. "I hope you're happy to see me, because I sure am happy to see you."
"Hello, Discord." Fluttershy said glumly, not even making eye contact with the spirit. Discord quickly took notice.
"Say, what's got you looking so glum? You know I don't like to see frowny faces. So come on, turn that frown upside down!" Discord said. He promptly snapped his fingers, and lifted Fluttershy into the air. turning her upside down in the process.
"Put me down, Discord!" Fluttershy said sternly "I think the blood is rushing to my head."
Discord did as he was told. But Fluttershy's mood quickly turned back to being gloomy. "Aw, did somepony have a bad day?" he said innocently. He wasn't trying to make fun of Fluttershy, he was just trying to make her laugh the only way he knew how.
Fluttershy didn't answer, and merely went into her cottage. Discord followed her. "Come on Fluttershy." he said "I'm your friend now. Don't friends always tell each other what's got them acting all gloomy and wishy washy?"
"Sometimes. But sometimes friends just want to be left alone." Fluttershy said. She was in no mood to put up with Discord's behavior. Normally she appreciated how much he truly cared about her, but today all she could think about was what had just happened not that long ago.
"But what good does that do you? Where's the fun in just leaving a friend to sulk by herself?" Discord asked "You know the old saying 'A friend in need is a friend in deed.'. And you are certainly a friend in need."
"That may be, but I'm beyond help." Fluttershy said "What I have trouble with is something you wouldn't understand."
"Nonsense. I'm the spirit of chaos and disharmony for pony's sake. I can make chocolate rain fall from the clouds at will." Discord said "I can pull things out of thin air. Like this, or this, or this." He pulled out all sorts of random objects, but Fluttershy didn't seem phased by any of them.
Then, suddenly, she got an idea. She remembered Twilight's words from earlier. Discord was a friend, at least to her and Pinkie Pie. Sure, he was still a troublemaker, but his heart was in the right place. He never intentionally caused anypony harm, on a long term basis anyway. But would he understand her fetish? Heck for that matter would he be a good caretaker? Fluttershy doubted that Discord had ever really been around foals. Even Pinkie Pie knew better than to trust him with the Cake Twins.
Well, there was only one way to find out. Reluctantly, Fluttershy plucked up courage. "I suppose I could show you what's troubling me. And I think there's a way you can help me." she said to Discord.
"Well that's nice. But what kind of help did you have in mind?" Discord asked.
"Follow me, and I'll show you." Fluttershy said "Oh, but before I do. I want you to promise me one thing."
"One thing, huh? Figures, there'd be some sort of catch. That's how life is, at least from what I've seen. What is it?" Discord asked.
"What I'll show you is something that only Twilight is aware of. So outside of her you can't tell anyone else about this. Do you understand?" Fluttershy explained.
"My lips are sealed!" Discord said, a zipper suddenly appearing across his mouth. It faded a moment later.
Fluttershy led Discord over to, what use to be the spare bedroom. "Why have you brought me here?' Discord asked.
"You'll see in a second." Fluttershy said, and pushed open the door. What Discord saw was something that, even to him, seemed unusual. In one corner of the room lie a bunch of foalish toys, like alphabet blocks, and dolls. In another stood a closet, filled with foalish dresses of all sorts, as well as a bottle of foal powder, a pacifier, and a stack of adult diapers. Not to mention diaper wipes. Next to the closet was a changing bench with a bag placed nearby. And most noticeably of, there was a gaint crib. With the blankets neatly tucked in around a fluffy pillow, and a pair of bunny pajamas that doubled as an onesie.
All of this was a lot to take in. Discord rolled his eyes, eyeballs and all. No, his eyes weren't playing tricks on him. This was, without a dobut, a giant nursery. And it didn't take him long to put two and two together, and figure out who it belonged to. "Is all of this...your's?" he asked Fluttershy. Somewhat confused.
"For the most part. The toys are leftovers from my foalhood and the dresses are from Rarity." Fluttershy explained.
"But I thought you said that only Twilight knew about your "interest"?" Discord said.
"Rarity doesn't know it's me. The dresses are custom made, and I always make sure the order form says anomous. Rarity designs the dresses, and then delivers them to a foal supply store in Hoofington. Which is where the diapers, foal powder, diaper wipes, and pacifier come from. The pajamas are something I use wear on occassion in the winter time. And everything else I built myself." Fluttershy explained.
"I see." Discord said. Unsure of what to make of all of this.
"I know this is probably a lot to take in. And I'm sorry I kept this a secret from you for so long. I just wasn't sure how you'd react." Fluttershy said.
"Well, not that this isn't interesting. But what exactly does this have to do with me?" Discord asked.
Fluttershy decided not to beat around the bush. "I want you to look after me. You know, sort of like a caretaker." she said.
Discord was silent for a moment. He really didn't know what to think. They said friendship was full of surprises, but he never would've imagined that said surprises could be like this. Sure, he'd seen things that were much crazier, but he'd seen them so much he'd gotten use to them. This, however ,was something that he had never seen or heard of before. He wasn't even sure what the mentality behind acting like a foal was. Of course he didn't say that outright.
"Well?" Fluttershy asked, breaking the akward silence.
"I guess I...could take care of you." Discord said "But... if you don't mind me asking, how far do you go with this exactly?"
"What do you mean?" Fluttershy asked.
"I know you probably wear diapers. But do you actually, well, use them?" Discord asked bluntly.
"Yes." Fluttershy admitted.
"You do just wet them?" Discord asked.
"I do much more then that." Fluttershy admitted "I use them quite heavily. That includes wetting AND messing."
"I was afraid of that." Discord said nervously.
"Well, you can diaper me. But if you don't want to change me you don't have to. In fact I don't even have to use my diaper if you'd rather I didn't. Whatever makes you feel more comfortable." Fluttershy said.
"I'm tempted to agree to those terms. But I really want to do what makes you happy." Discord said "If using diapers is how you get your kicks I won't mind it too much. And having said that I might as well be willing to change you. Even though I'm probably not going to like it. And I can do everything else as well. I can dress you up, feed you, play with you, and put you to bed."
"Do you mean it?" Fluttershy asked.
"I guess so." Discord said
"Oh thank you, Discord!" Fluttershy said happily "So, do you want begin our 'roleplaying' now? I can always wait for a more suitable time for you."
"Well, I was going to go see about bothering Celestia. But messing with her is starting to get old. So I don't see why now should be a problem." Discord said.
"Good," Fluttershy said "Oh, before we begin I suppose I should tell you this. I'm not really one to make baby noises while I'm 'in the role' so to speak. So I'll mostly just stay silent, or make 'mmm' noises. But if you ever need help I'll whisper to you 'out of character'."
"'Out of character'?" Discord asked.
"Yes. If something's wrong I'll break away from my role and tell you what it is." Fluttershy explained "Otherwise just do what you think is right. If it makes you feel better Twilight was just as reluctant as you, and she did a great job. I'm sure you'll do just as well."
"Thanks for the encouragement Fluttershy." Discord said happily "Now then, what should we do first?"
Fluttershy lead Discord over to the closet. Discord quickly got the hint "So you want me to pick out a dress for you hm?" he asked. Fluttershy mearly nodded back at him. Discord took that as a sign that he was right. "Okay. Let's take a lookise," He began to sort through the various dresses. Looking back over them several times. and taking a real good look at them. At last, he settled on a multi colored dress that felt very light, and very flexable. "What do you think, Fluttershy? Good enough for you?" he asked.
Fluttershy nodded, and cheerfully flew up to collect one of the diapers, the bottle of foal powder, the diaper wipes, and the pacifier. She scooped up all the supplies and brought them over to the changing bench. She then hoisted herself onto it, and positioned herself in the proper spot for being diapered.
Discord felt dreadfully nervous as he approached the changing bench. "What do I do now?" he asked Futtershy.
"Just tape up the diaper around my waist. If you need help I can walk you through it." Fluttershy said.
"I think I can handle this, Fluttershy." Discord said, and set to work. With a snap of his fingers the diaper was unfolded. The bottle of foal powder floated into the air, and with another snap it began to sprinkle some of its contents into the diaper. Once Discord was certain that the proper amount was in there he snapped his fingers again. The bottle went back down to the bench, while the diaper floated over to Fluttershy, and taped itself up nice and firmly. Fluttershy's tail poked out through a hole in the back.
"Is that comfortable enough for you?" Discord asked.
Fluttershy wiggled around in her new diaper, and smiled at Discord when she was convinced it fit properly. Discord was pleased to see that he had taped up a diaper all on his own. And whoever said his magic was just for bending the laws of reality?
Now he could move on to the next step. "Hooves up! And keep em up!" he said, his voice taking on a friendly yet playful tone. Fluttershy did so, and with a snap of his fingers Discord dressed Fluttershy. The dress flying right over her, before floating gently into place. Then, without using his magic, Discord reached over and grabbed the pacifier. He then inserted it into Fluttershy's mouth. Fluttershy happily began to suck on it.
As Fluttershy slid off of the changing bench, and Discord got a good look at how cute she looked, he let out a faint "aww". He was glad no one was around to hear him say that. Otherwise everyone would've called him a big softy. Asssuming they didn't already because of his close friendship with Fluttershy.
Fluttershy slowly crawled over to some building blocks. Moving as foal like as possible. Discord seemed to be confused, until Fluttershy looked at him with a set of puppy dog eyes. From the looks of things she was asking for Discord to play with her.
"So now you want me to play with you, huh? Well, I guess I can do that." Discord said, and appeared beside Fluttershy in a matter of moments. Play time was something that the spirit was very good at. And when you added in the fact that he was playing with the pony who he always felt he could trust, well it was hard not to think the scene seemed very sweet.
The two friends continued to play for a little over an hour. Then, suddenly, Fluttershy's stomach began to rumble rather loudly. Discord quickly caught on. "Are you hungry now?" he asked Fluttershy. Fluttershy nodded back at him, and led him out of the nursery.
The surprises just kept on coming as Fluttershy led Discord into the kitchen. Even he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Somehow Fluttershy had managed to either build, or acquire a high chair modified to fit a fully grown pony. It even had a removeable bar. This was certainly crazy, even by Discord's standards. Though it was more crazy in a good way then just generally crazy.
"It's a good thing I have my chaos magic or this would be really difficult. Hold on tight Fluttershy." Discord said, and snapped his fingers. Fluttershy began to fly, without even flapping her wings. Slowly but surely she was floated into the highchair, the bar having already been removed. Once Fluttershy was hovering directly above the seat Discord snapped his fingers again. Fluttershy landed in the seat with a "ploop". Discord then relatched the bar around Fluttershy's waist, and removed her pacifier. Then he tied a bib around her neck, smiling at the picture of a bunny greedily devouring a carrot.
"So far so good." Discord thought to himself. "Now, what I am gonna fed her?" He looked around, and it wasn't long before he spotted a jar. The lid had already been removed, revealing a strange yellow colored goop like substance. Next to the jar was a bowl. From the looks of things it seemed like normal foal food. And since it was laying out in plain sight Discord figured that Fluttershy wanted him to feed her the stuff. Without wasting a moment he went over to the drawer, and retrieved a spoon. When he went to go pour the jar's contents into the bowl he spotted something. It was a label that read "Pureed Banana", but there was something else written beneath it. "Huh, that's odd." Discord said, and examined the label more closely. Suddenly, the look on his face changed.
"Is something wrong Discord?" Fluttershy asked.
"There most certainly is." Discord said "I'm afraid to ask, but why does it say 'DO NOT EAT!'?" and he showed her the jar of "Pureed Banana". Just as Discord had said the words "DO NOT EAT" were written in big bold letters. Fluttershy sweat dropped. Discord quickly realized that wasn't a good sign.
Reluctantly Fluttershy confessed "It's because that food...has something in it." she explained.
"What sort of something?" Discord asked.
"I mixed it with something that encourages messing." Fluttershy confessed.
"I see." Discord said, the look on his face showing that he wasn't all that pleased with he'd just heard.
"I think there's some normal foal food in the fridge, if you don't want to feed me the pureed that is." Fluttershy said.
Discord was silent as he considered his options. He was already pretty much set to feed Fluttershy the Pureed Banana, and could do so with ease. But now he knew that doing so would mean that he'd have to change Fluttershy later on, something that he wasn't looking forward to at all. At last he made his decision, and poured the goop into the bowl.
Fluttershy was surprised. "You're feeing me that even though you know what will do to me?" she asked.
"This is what you wanted. Isn't it?" Discord asked.
"Yes." Fluttershy said.
"So, like I said before, if it makes you happy then I won't mind it too much. But for now we need to focus on what's important, feeding time. Open wide!" Discord said, dipping the spoon into the bowl. He brought it towards Fluttershy.
But Fluttershy had an idea. She really liked the food, but delving a little further in her role wouldn't hurt. She made a face.
Discord was confused "I thought you liked this stuff," he said. Then he saw Fluttershy wink at him. He slowly began to clue into what was going on. He carefully brought the spoon closer to Fluttershy's mouth. "The Canterlot Express is pulling into the station!" he said playfully.
Fluttershy pretended to be reluctant as she let the food enter her mouth. "Mmm." she said happily.
"See? Doesn't that taste good? Eat it all up, now!" Discord said. On the inside he sighed with relief. He continued to make various spoon feeding gestures, using his chaos magic to make them more "realistic". After only a few minutes the bowl was all but empty, and Discord gladly allowed Fluttershy to lick it clean. "Oh my! What a messy eater you are Fluttershy. I'd better clean you up," he said. He pulled a rag out of thin air, and used it wipe Fluttershy's clean of leftover banana. When he was finished the rag disappeared. Discord then snapped his fingers again, and Fluttershy was floated out of the high chair, and onto the ground. "Well, that was fun. What do you want do now?"
The rays of the setting sun cast a faint glow on the nursery as Discord and Fluttershy spent some time drawing. Despite the fact that he had his chaos magic to help him Discord was no artist. But he tried his best to draw a picture of him and Fluttershy together, just spending time as friends. Anyone could see that deep down he truly did value his friendship with Fluttershy. And he would do anything to stay in her good books. Because without her his life had no meaning.
"Look what I made." Fluttershy said happily, showing Discord the picture she had drawn. Discord was amazed at the amount of detail reflected in it. The picture was of Fluttershy as she currently was, diaper, dress, and everything. She was looking up happily at Discord as the spirit of chaos held her in his lap.
Discord couldn't help but smile. "Oh thank you Fluttershy. You're such a good friend. I just wish it was the same with the others."
"Oh I'm sure they'll come around eventually. Heck, Pinkie Pie is all but convinced already that you're reformed." Fluttershy said.
"I know, but it seems like someponies just don't trust me." Discord said.
"Well, with time I'm sure that will change." Fluttershy said.
"I hope so." Discord said. Then, suddenly, he heard a noise. Almost like air bursting from somewhere. And it didn't take long for a powerful scent of manure to fill the air. Discord looked at Fluttershy, and saw that her diaper had a dark yellow patch on the front, and a bulge in the back. He quickly figured out what was wrong. "Phew! Speaking of change, you need a new diaper. And fast!" Discord said. He quickly snapped his fingers, and a gas mask appeared around his face.
Fluttershy felt bad for making Discord change her diaper, but she knew it was no use arguing with him. Plus, the longer she waited the more likely she was to get a diaper rash. Without a moment's hesitation Fluttershy trotted over to the changing bench, and carefully hoisted herself onto it. Trying not to make the mess even worse.
Discord approached, still wearing the gas mask. With it on he felt much better about the situation. But he knew that what he was about to do would take a lot of guts. This was the toughest thing he would ever do. Discord, the spirit of chaos and disharmony, was about to change a diaper.
Discord wasted no time, and with a snap of his fingers the tapes on the diaper came off. He snapped his fingers once again, and the diaper folded itself, and placed itself into a nearby bag. Ready for disposal. Meanwhile, a new diaper floated off of the stack. With another snap of his fingers Discord made the bottle of foal powder fly up and pour its contents into the new diaper. He then snapped his fingers yet again, and the diaper wipes came to life. Moving back and forth over Fluttershy's rear end, wiping away the mess. Once that was done the fresh diaper floated down, attached itself to Fluttershy's rump, and with one final finger snap, taped itself up. Discord then quickly grabbed the bag, and teleported out to the back garden. Where he dropped it into a bin. Once that was done he removed his gas mask.
Discord sighed with relief, thrilled to have the whole thing behind him now. But when he returned to the nursery he was shocked to see Fluttershy with her head bowed, sniffling slightly. "Did I do something wrong?" Discord asked "Was I too late to stop you from getting a rash?"
"No, you did great." Fluttershy said.
"So then, why are you so upset?" Discord asked "I'm not good at this sort of thing."
"It's just...I'm sorry. I know I made you feed that food that brought this all on. I probably shouldn't have done that." Fluttershy apologized.
"Fluttershy, you have nothing to be sorry about. I told you when we started this that I would change your diaper if you really liked using it." Discord said "Look, I'm new to this whole friendship thing. But I want nothing more then for you to be happy. So wipe away those tears, and put a smile on that face."
"I guess you're right," Fluttershy said, her mood improving. Then she noticed how dark it had become. "I want to go to sleep." she said.
"Already?" Discord asked. He didn't want to admit it, but he was actually starting to enjoy his role as the caretaker.
"Yes," Fluttershy said "Can you help me into my pajams?"
"Of course. You didn't even need to ask." Discord said sweetly. It didn't take him long to slip the bunny onesie onto Fluttershy. And when he zipped it up, and noticed how bulky Fluttershy's rear looked, he could only smile. He then snapped his fingers and the bar on the side of the crib lowered. Allowing Fluttershy to climb up, with a little help from Discord.
Once Fluttershy was comfortable, and Discord had tucked her in, Fluttershy asked "Can you sing me a lullaby? Please?"
"I suppose," Discord said "Let's see here." And he began to sing a little something that he had overheard Princess Luna sing once. When it was finished he looked at Fluttershy, and saw that she was fast asleep. He gave her a goodnight kiss, went over to the door, and turned off the lights. "Good night Fluttershy." he said.
"Good night, Daddy Discord." Fluttershy replied. Those words melted the spirit's heart as he left the room, and then the cottage.
The next day Princess Celestia could've sworn that something was different about Discord. He seemed to be incredibly cheerful, without his usual antics. But she had no idea why.
