Memory Lane

A crack of thunder resounded off the walls with a bright flash and crack following it making Teigan wake with a yelp. He put his hand to his chest having just had a rather horrible dream and the weather as bad as it seemed fit his scared mood quite well, like something from an old horror movie. He wiped his eyes and looked at the clock, it was only about five in the morning but he felt like he had just fallen asleep. The covers were rather forcefully tangled around his body and he had to roll and wiggle out of them before he was able to reach the lamp and turn it on. His heart nearly stopped as the lamp zapped and flickered off just as the power went off in the whole house. A large crack of thunder sounded that shook his pictures on the walls and reverberate the glass of his windows. He leaned over to try and find the flashlight he kept by his bed just in case of these emergencies but all he found was open air to his searching paw.

It was then he saw the footprints when the room lit up again and his eyes readjusted, it looked like dress shoe footprints on his carpet leading out of the room. He slowly got out of bed his raccoon tail already puffed up a little from the lightning flashes. It was an old fear of his, he never really did like lightning or the sounds of thunder maybe it was the noise or just the fact it was always prevalent in horror movies. He felt like he was in one right now as he made his way down the hall towards his living room stopping just long enough to check the front doors locks. Locked as usual so what was with the footprints he wondered as he stepped into the sunken living room.

The footprints stopped in front of his tv and disappeared from view as if the person walked right through the wall. He stopped in the kitchen checking the closets on the way but nothing was out of place except his missing flashlight. The fridge was the last place to check and he opened it slowly as if something was going to jump out at any moment. What greeted him was silence and his flashlight sitting on the top shelf right in the middle of the shelf. "That's weird..I haven't done that since I was little." he said to himself recalling a memory he had when he used to think the fridges light charged the flashlight. He flicked the flashlight on feeling better about everything as the light lit the darkness with a steady beam of light.

Teigan stood there in the dark kitchen with his flashlight in hand before he started back to the living room and back towards his room when a voice cut through the darkness "Great isn't it.." said the voice as if it were right beside him. He turned around quickly pointing the flashlight down the hall into the livingroom to see a red panda male in a black suit sitting on his couch as if he had been there the whole time. Teigan stood frozen, who was this guy went through his mind before he spoke again "I am the fine print in the contract you signed Teigan. In the event that a employee profits from an item that was solely the property of the company he will be adjusted to a new role within the company." He stated casually

"What are you doing in my house..how did you even get in here!?" he asked incredulously of the figure sitting on his couch. This only made the panda sigh "I already told you, I am the fine print in the contract but if you must know I came from there. He pointed to the TV as if it made complete sense for people to just walk out of it. "My name is Dex." he offered in a sort of cheery manner slipping on a pair of white gloves with little black buttons. Teigan just watched him and stuttered "A..are you here to kill me.." he flinched as the Panda chuckled a little at that "What..No of course not what sort of company do you think this is? You took some money from the company that was not solely yours for a preview of a product that was not done the testing phase. Kill you...hah we are just adjusting you to a new role within the company where you will get into less..trouble." the smile on the panda's face made Teigan uneasy as he shifted his weight to the side.

He just stood there flashlight in hand walking back into the living room to discuss this so called theft of company money "All I did was sneak a friend into the lab to show what I was working on and she gave me some money for it." The panda nodded "Yes money that would have went towards the products purchase." he stated briefly folding his paws in his lap. Teigan furrowed his brow at that sort of logic "Wait so you're saying that the fifty my friend slipped me for the tour is the companies money?" the panda nodded with a smile "Ah good, you do understand." This made Teigan scoff a bit "Well then just take it off my paycheque.." he stated roughly, all this trouble over a simple fifty dollars was absurd.

The Panda smiled "Oh we have already taken out a sum from you but you did sign the contract, what good would they be without adhering to their policies. It's not just the money, it's the idea and the principle of consequences for one's actions when bound by a contract. But I see by the data we have that you've worked for us for..hmm two years already I see well thats a good place to start I think oh and we have an opening there." The panda started to tap the air in different spots as if typing on an invisible keyboard suspended in front of him.

The air seemed charged and thick with what felt like tension or maybe it was just the Panda making Teigan uneasy as he was typing on the air. He seemed crazy however his mannerisms seemed like a lawyer or maybe he was some sort of intellectual madman the company sent after him. Teigan sat across from him giving the panda a confused look before he looked over "Oh im sorry, you can't see any of this here let me show you." he tapped to his left and the air in front of Teigan lit up in a huge array of colours streaming through the air with a grey square and blue writing in the foreground detailing his past and events from when he was born until now. The second screen that popped up was his company profile detailing his height, weight, age and job description.

Teigan knew that the company had many things in development some secretive others were public knowledge. The company had its hand in everything from electronics to food products, clothing and disposable goods. Whatever Sphere technologies went into they quickly became heavily involved in. But this, it all seemed impossible but it couldn't be it was right there in front of him scrolling by even his life when he was three years old. "How..did you get this information has the company been spying on me my entire life?" he asked watching the events stop on a particular event then it zoomed on like something in fast forwards before going blank. Dex smiled at this and tapped his chin with a gloved paw. "We prefer to think of it as grooming our employees for joining our illustrious and dedicated company on the frontiers of technology.However I should not be so hasty without further discussing your reassignment. I am going to ask you a series of questions on the job specifications and overall perks your answers will determine if its the right fit. Does this sound okay to you Mr. Teigan?"

He wanted to explain to Dex that this was a big invasion of privacy and opened his mouth to say so but all that came out was "I guess its okay." as his curiosity got the better of him. "What would be involved?"

Dex chuckled a little bit "Well first let me ask you this..it says here that you don't get vacation time because of the demanding schedule. Would taking trips be something you would like to do in the future while still working with us?" Teigan thought this was a punishment not an upgrade and he nodded "Well yea, everyone likes to have vacations..." this almost sounded too good to be true.

The red panda smiled and typed something down once again hiding the screens so Teigan couldn't see. "What about paid sick days, we know that people get sick and need to be healthy in order to function well." he smiled at this as the panda continued "Well of course I would like paid sick days who doesn't." Again the panda typed something down which looked a little comical now that he seemed to be typing on an invisible keyboard. Teigan tried not to smile but this seemed to be working out for him instead of against him.

The questions continued as Dex looked over some information only perceptible to him "What about an assistance to help take care of your needs as well as a personal chef at home. We can even have a company vehicle come and get the two of you every morning unless otherwise stated? Teigans mouth dropped open a little bit, it was like he was being promoted, he wouldnt have to cook for himself or drive or really do anything. "That would be fantastic honestly..So they would live in the house with me?"

Dex nodded with a smile "Of course, this way even if you take work home with you they can be of assistance to the highest degree possible. They would also help pay off bills and mortgage amounts as well we have some very motivated assistance. Teigans ears twitched at this "You mean assistant of course?" to which Dex smiled again "Oh no assistance our best achieved robotic artificial intelligence personnel. They are very lifelike and you probably couldn't even tell the difference if they were standing in front of you."

"So its a robot that would be staying with me and they do everything I need them to?" he asked with a sort of wry smile to which Dex nodded "Yes, housework, laundry dry cleaning, cooking etcetera. You name it they can do it or learn it from your computer in as little as a few minutes they are very unique in their overall programming. Now what about free clothing, company attire of course but you get an entire wardrobe of our products. New furniture and entertainment unit as well, we can't have you uncomfortable or bored while at home can we." Teigans tail started to wag back and forth and he smiled thinking he was getting a promotion rather than being in trouble. "No of course not that would be bad.." he smiled now as everything seemed to be going his way for a change.Dex nodded with a smile "Great, it sounds as if you are starting to enjoy your reassignment procedure and I am very glad. Your pay grade still stays the same since it is important work that you will be doing. I can go into more details after we have done the transition phase." Teigan nodded happily "Well when can we get started? Does this have to wait until the morning or are we doing this transition phase now?"

The red panda typed out a few more things and then tapped at the air "Oh well we can do this right now if you like, shall we get started?" Teigan nodded and the screen showing his life popped back into view rewinding itself to what looked like his two year old self. He was cute and fuzzy wearing a pair of blue shortalls with a star on the rump which seemed a bit large but he remembered he was still in diapers. His two year old self waddled around playing with a large green ball throwing it around the living room and then scampering over to get it. He chuckled once when his screen self stopped for a moment and shivered closing his eyes. Teigan could only guess what was happening and he slightly blushed as he saw the front of the overalls grow a bit larger. His screen self had just wet himself but didnt seem to mind as he continued to play but Teigan could almost remember the feeling and twitched his leg as he watched.

Dex watched this with a smirk "Your two year old self doesn't seem to have to worry about anything..Very stress free but please enjoy the show while I finish up some minor details" he smiled and started typing. Teigan nodded with a chuckle "Well I was just a cub then..The only thing you think about is playing really..." The image grew larger until it was like a circular theatre screen in front of Teigan. It was so lifelike he could almost reach out and touch his other self, he started to try to remember what it was to be two. The stress free life, being waited on hand and foot, the copious amount of diaper changes he endured. It was like he could feel that now, the soft warm embrace of a diaper taped around his waist.

He had goosebumps really as the air felt charged and warmer suddenly. His on screen self continued to play despite the soaking of his diaper and seemed worry free. Another figure entered the image, it was his mom and he blushed as she checked the status of his diaper on screen. He wiggled around in his seat, it was as if he could feel her paw checking on him even now, her gentle touch always so discreet. She handed him a bottle and he sat down and started to nurse contently. A sweet taste entered Teigans mouth just then and he smiled, she always had the sweetest things for him to drink he could almost taste it.

A fuzzy feeling started to overcome Teigan as he watched his on screen self drain the bottle then sit up and let loose a burp to which he mimicked almost coincidentally. He chuckled a bit wiggling his tail and readjusting his position hearing a slight crinkle as his on screen self got back up. Something seemed a little different however, his back end had shifted and looked larger than before. It was only then that Teigan remembered his mother telling him that as a cub he always filled his diapers after having a bottle, like clockwork. However he had never seen it before and blushed now that he knew what his mother was talking about. He could just imagine how heavy that diaper must be now but atleast he felt warm.

In fact he felt quite warm himself as he sat there watching himself continue to play with Dex barely visible on the other side of the screen still typing things out. Teigan decided to stand up to readjust his clothing and perhaps peel off a layer. It was only then that he noticed something was a bit off, there was a bulky feeling between his legs and not only that but it was heavy as well. The screen seemed to move with him always keeping him in the center of it as if programmed to follow him everywhere. He loosened his pajamas and looked down his pants to see what the heck was up with his clothes. He gasped as he saw staring back at him was a diaper..and from the looks of it, thoroughly used.

He went to protest to Dex that something was off but as he looked back at the screen his mom was there and she had popped a pacifier in his maw and looked to be doing something he couldn't quite see. The pacifier appeared out of nowhere and Teigan couldn't help but suck on it as if he was compelled to. He moved to the left of the couch waddling a little bit but having to stare straight ahead at the images made it hard to move around his living room. His own self was moving around as well as his mom busied herself with something on the couch before picking him up and depositing him on what looked like a changing mat.

Teigan felt himself pulled off the ground by something and fell back onto the couch but he seemed to fall gently onto his back. The image shifted a little bit coming more at a first person perspective with him looking up at his loving moms smile. He shuddered as he comprehended what was happening when he felt his clothing shift and come apart at the crotch then flipped up as if he were wearing crotch snap pajamas. He muffled and whined at the image trying to get Dexs' attention but the red panda seemed hard at work.

The image started to work as if it were in the present world with him. Teigan could feel the tapes being pulled apart and the smell that came with it even see his mom holding his legs with a larger than normal paw it seemed. He was going to have to suffer through a diaper change at the age of an adult just like a cub. The feeling he had was shock and embarrassment as the image of his mom began to clean him up. A faint click made his ears twitch and then he could hear things as well as feel and smell like he was being absorbed into the images world. "Lets get my little one all cleaned up." his mom said as she gently cleaned his messy diaper area with quick efficient hands. He muffled whines and tried to sit up but the image held his legs back further to stop the squirming as she wadded up the heavy diaper and tossed it to the floor taking out a thick padded square. A crimson blush found its way to Teigans cheeks as he saw on the front of it was the carebear babies chasing each other in a whimsical game of tag.

Her hands quickly slipped the new thick fluffy diaper underneath his rump sprinkling him with powder before taping it up snugly giving it a firm pat on the front "all clean my little stinker." she said before doing his pants back up however they too had changed into the shortalls he was wearing before which did nothing to hide the obvious diaper bulge. She picked him up and set him back on the floor patting his now cleaned rump which made him feel so small and insignificant. He closed his eyes when he felt a wave of vertigo overtake him as he fell onto his padded rump with a puffing sound. The floor seemed a lot closer to him than it did before the forced diaper change and he had to do a double take on his surroundings his pacifier falling out of his maw.

The image hadn't expanded, it encompassed the entire room now, it was still his apartment but with changes, there were baby toys scattered around the floor, a playpen in the center of the room. The storm seemed to have stopped outside but it looked like it was the afternoon now, how many hours had passed since he met the red panda. He looked at the couch to where the red panda was supposed to be sitting but he wasn't there anymore. The red panda had vanished from sight leaving him stuck as his toddler self. Teigan shook his head, this wasnt possible it had to be a dream. He got up from the floor and toddled towards his room finding it hard to move quickly in his thick diaper which crinkled with every step. Teigan ran into his room which had now become a nursery with a crib instead of his bed and a changing table where his dresser should have been. He shook his head trying to will the changes away but when he opened his eyes they were still there and the room smelled heavily of baby powder.

"It has to be a dream.." he kept saying to himself as he ran for the front door, if it was hed never be able to open it. Dreams were always confined to one space usually..He felt gentle hands pick him up as he rounded the corner for the front door "Here you go my little stinker." his mom said right before plunking a bottle into his protesting maw. His body betrayed him as he started to suckle on the nub tasting the tangy sweet apple juice inside, only made him want more of it. He continued until the bottle was drained and then felt a couple of firm pats to his back making him belch loudly. Teigan was mortified that his body would do so much without his say so it rendered him speechless as his mom carried him over to the playpen and put him down inside with a couple stuffed animals.

He immediately tried to stand up but the soft material underneath resisted the attempt and he toppled back onto his rump with a puffing crinkle. He slowly crawled over to one of the sides looking at his mom as she stood there just watching him for a moment. It was then he noticed that this wasn't his mom, she was different somehow, this woman had more pointed ears rather than the rounder ones his mom did and she was more lithe than maternal looking. It was then that he heard someone coming down the hallway and he strained to see through the mesh. The woman turned around and smiled "Oh Dex..how nice to see you." she said to the man and he nodded with a smile. "Rosa, lovely again to see you hows our worker?" she giggled "Busy working as usual, I think he is going to be a workaholic."

Teigan wasn't sure what they were talking about, he couldn't go to work now he was a toddler in diapers. He felt a twinge in his stomach and he passed it off as nothing as Dex came around and sat on the couch "Enjoying the new position there Teigan?" he asked simply with a smile. He scrunched up his face into a glare "What did you do to me.." he asked still holding onto the mesh of the playpen.Dex smiled at this statement "I re-assigned you of course to your new position, it may take some getting used to but you are doing important work now." he nodded and Rosa smiled at this "I believe its almost lunch time so I will leave you two boys to it." she smiled and went off to the kitchen leaving them alone for the moment.

Teigan never took his eyes off of Dex trying to look intimidating even as his stomach felt like it was full to bursting. "How am I doing important work now, I am a toddler in diapers!" he squeaked out at the larger red panda to which he only chuckled. "You know as well as I do that Sphere technologies has the leading best diapers in the world. We need testers out there to ensure product quality, thats your new position, Infantile research and development tester. You agreed to all of the terms I just helped you to find that niche you fit in best. You still have everything, entertainment, a personal chef, and someone who takes care of everything for you that was the agreement. You were even eager to get started so I put things through, it was a lot of work too."

Teigan felt like his insides were going to burst until he started to feel warm and fuzzy once again but it was like his body was acting on autopilot again as something was warming his crotch. The realization hit him as soon as he felt the front of his diaper start to expand, he was wetting himself. He blushed and tried to hide the growing expansion of his diaper but Dex smiled "Don't worry about it kiddo, you got what I promised a stress free life and you won't be able to get into anymore trouble now with your re-assignment." he winked at Teigan as if he was supposed to thank him. "I'll be in touch kiddo try not to enjoy yourself too much now.. We'll give you a day to get used to things paid of course as I promised. Don't worry I will leave Rosa here to look after your every need." with that he disappeared fading from view as if he were just another image.

Rosa came into the room then as Teigan felt the continuing pressure of his bladder soaking the padding of his diaper right up to his rump. The pressure remained and soon he felt his tail flag up and he squeaked as he bent forward starting to feel the back end of his diaper droop as he deposited his first of many messes in his new position. "No..wait.." he squeaked out as he saw Dex fade away into nothingness starting to sniffle and cry as his emotions welled up inside him. Rosa peered over the playpen wall watching as Teigan filled up his diaper just waiting for her smaller charge to finish and smiled "Just like clockwork, its going to be a busy day."
