A perfect day to spend indoors, drinking hot cocoa and enjoying a good\n\nbook.\n\nAnd that's exactly what Spike intended to do. Sitting down next to a window, Spike was\n\nenjoying the sounds of the blustering wind and the tinkling of the rain on the window. He had\n\nonly just taken a sip of his cocoa and opened his book, when he heard a series of loud THUNKS,\n\nfollowed by yelling from his guardian.\n\n\"SWEET CELESTIA THAT HURT!\" He heard from the library, and immediately got up and\n\nwent to see what had happened.\n\nUpon entering the room, Spike saw Twilight sprawled out on her stomach, a book open on her\n\nface. Books littered the floor around her, as she slowly pulled the one on her face off and got\n\nback up on her hooves.\n\nHowever, doing so was not without considerable effort, as her movements were hindered by the\n\nobviously well used diaper that was taped onto her hind quarters. The fade when wet moons\n\nwere now completely gone, replaced with a light yellow tinge, and the back was shaded with a\n\nslight brown color, and was drooping considerably. She ended up having to use her wings to\n\nsteady herself as she finally recovered.\n\n\"What happened?\" Spike asked, a bit of concern in his voice. Though Twilight was managing\n\nher condition decently well lately, things were still quite fresh for the young alicorn. Going back\n\nto diapers would be quite a shock for anypony, much less someone so learned and gifted as\n\nTwilight. She was still adjusting.\n\n\"Well I decided since we're staying inside today to go ahead and dust the books and make sure\n\neverything was organized properly. Things were going great, until all of a sudden this... thing!\"\n\nShe said with emphasis, motioning to her swollen diaper, \"Ballooned out and caused me to lose\n\nmy step! I fell straight onto my stomach and all the books I'd been levitating to the desk\u0026nbsp;fell on\n\ntop of me!\" She exclaimed, obviously incredibly irritated. \"Why do these have to be so thick!?\"\n\nShe lamented.\n\nSpike sighed and walked over to a chest near Twilights desk. As he opened it, he began to\n\nrespond to her. \"Well for one, you don't take breaks to change frequently enough to wear\n\nsomething slimmer, and two, these are a gift from Princess Luna. And quite a generous gift\n\nmight I add, given how many diapers you go through.\" He replied as he laid out the changing\n\nsupplies he had retrieved from the chest.\n\n\"SPIKE!\" Twilight yelped, a deep blush covering her face. \"Why do you insist on calling them\n\nthat?!\" She hissed, clearly embarrassed by how casually Spike referred to her undergarments.\n\n\"Well what do you want me to call them? They have cute designs and hold your accidents. That's\n\nwhat a diaper does.\" He said as he guided Twilight onto the changing pad.\n\nShe laid down with a grimace, as her diaper shifted under her. \"Y-yeah, but diap-, I mean, that\n\nword, is so childish! Can't you just call them 'Protective Undergarments' or something?\" She\n\nasked, her blush deepening at her own accidental use of the D-word.\n\nSpike rolled his eyes. \"Sheesh. What a mouthful. No thanks, I'll stick with diaper. Big words are\n\nmore your thing anyways.\" He said as he began to untape Twilights soiled diaper.\n\nShe huffed, but decided to change the subject. \"Isn't there any other brand I could wear? I\n\nunderstand that these are free, but they're so thick! And childish! Aren't there more... Mature\n\nones?\" She asked with a whine.\n\n\"I mean sure there are, but I'm pretty sure we tried all of them already. Legs up.\" Spike said, as\n\nhe peeled the diaper from her front. Twilight obliged, lifting up her back legs as Spike started to\n\ngently wipe her down. \"I mean take this diaper for example! Can you think of a single other\n\ndiaper on the market that could handle what you put this one through?\" He asked as he used\n\nwipes to clean her messy bottom, making sure to get as much off per wipe as he could.\n\nTwilights blush deepened even further, something the young dragon hadn't thought possible\n\nmoments prior. \"W-well no... But I could just change more frequently!\" She retorted, not even\n\naware of the stream of pee that was flowing into her open diaper.\n\n\"Twilight we've been over this. You can't tell when you've used your diapers. I mean, I'll bet you\n\nwouldn't even know you were peeing right now unless I told you!\" Spike said, waiting for the\n\nstream to stop before he continued wiping. Twilight let out a whine and covered her face with\n\nher hooves. She didn't respond, the news that she was peeing mid change was enough to make\n\nher too embarrassed to speak.\n\nSpike continued. \"Combine that with the fact that you get too involved with whatever tasks\n\nyou've set out to accomplish, and no, you can't just change more frequently. You don't ever know\n\nwhen you need a change! I always have to tell you when it's time. And switching to any of those\n\nother brands would either increase the frequency that I have to check your diaper and change\n\nyou, or increase the amount of leaks you have.\"\n\nSpike let that hang in the air as he silently focused on his task. Twilights dribbling had stopped\n\nand he started wiping again, taking great care to clean every crevice. Once all the mess had been\n\nwiped away, he pulled the soiled diaper out from under Twilight. He then slid a clean diaper\n\nunder her. \"Bottom down please\" He said, as he helped guide her down so he could wipe her\n\nfront.\n\nAs he gently wiped her down, Twilight spoke. \"But I'm not a foal.\" She said in a sad, broken\n\nwhisper. It was hard on her, being not only Celestias star pupil, but a princess as well! She had\n\ntaken great pride in her status, and this recent addition to her wardrobe was a constantly open\n\nwound on her pride.\n\nSpike sighed as he finished wiping Twilight. \"No, you're not a foal. Nobody thinks your a foal,\n\nno matter what you're wearing. You're the great Twilight Sparkle! You've helped save Equestria\n\nmore times than I can count!\" Spike said as he reached for the foal powder. \"Diapers don't make\n\nyou a foal Twilight. You have a condition. And diapers are the solution. It just so happens that\n\nthe diapers you need have cute designs on them. So what? Just because it's cute means it's\n\nfoalish? Tell that to Rarity! Everything she makes is cute, and I've never heard someone call her\n\ndresses foalish!\"\n\nTwilight sighed and nodded. \"That's true, but anyone can wear a dress. Usually grown ponies\n\ndon't wear diapers.\" She said. \"Much less use them.\"\n\n\"True.\" Said spike as he pulled the diaper up and started taping it on. \"But these are anything but\n\nusual circumstances. Listen, the bottom line is you need diapers. Period. And we've tried every\n\ndiaper on the market. And none of them work without seriously changing the way BOTH of us\n\noperate our daily lives. Except these diapers. The ones made by Princess Luna, that we get for\n\nFREE.\" He emphasized the last word as he taped the final tape in place.\n\nTwilight sat up, slightly wincing at the loud crinkling of her fresh diaper. \"You're right Spike.\"\n\nShe sighed.\"But I just hate how thick these are! I just wish I could wear something that's easier\n\nto move around in.\" She said with another big sigh.\n\n\"I know Twilight, I know, but the grass is always greener on the other side. Those diapers may\n\nseem nice, but they're ill suited to your condition. Now here, let me help you gather your books\n\nso you can get back to your task and I can get back to my cocoa.\" Spike said as he put the\n\nchanging supplies back in the chest.\n\nIt only took a few moments to get the books regathered and on Twilights desk. As he finished\n\nplacing the last book, Spike turned to Twilight and gave her a hug. \"I still think you're awesome\n\nTwilight. And nothing is gonna change that, least of all a silly diaper.\" He said as he broke the\n\nembrace.\n\n\"Thanks Spike.\" Twilight said with a slight smile. \"It means a lot that you've stuck by me\n\nthrough all this.\"\n\nSpike smiled and turned to leave. \"Are you kidding? There's not a thing in Equestria that could\n\nconvince me to leave. Face it, you're stuck with me.\" He chuckled as he walked to the door. \"I'll\n\nbe back in a few hours to check up on you, try to be careful okay?\"\n\nTwilight rolled her eyes and sighed. \"I'll try!\" She responded, as she went to find her duster.\n\nUnknown to her, she was already soggy before she even got back to the desk. But that's okay.\n\nHer diapers would hold until the next change, and it's not like she could tell anyways.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
