//------------------------------// // Flurry Heart's Royal Flush // Story: Pound and Pumpkin Cake's Adventures (And Misadventures) In Potty Training // by SuperPinkBrony12 //------------------------------// The day after Scootaloo had foalsat for Pound and Pumpkin, the twins were most surprised to receive a visitor, or rather three visitors. The first two were fully grown adults. One was a unicorn stallion with a white coat, a somewhat bushy mane and tail that seemed to be sapphire blue in color alongside lighter and darker shades of blue streaks, light blue eyes, and a cutie mark depicting a purple shield with a pink six pointed star in it, and three small light blue stars above it. The other was a mare that seemed to be similar to Princess Twilight in that she had both wings and a horn. She had a pink coat, a mane and tail styled into alternating locks of violet, rose, and pale gold, light purple eyes, a cutie mark depicting a heart made of crystal surrounded on both sides by gold lace. The third and final guest seemed to be closer in age and size to the twins, but like the mare she had both wings and a horn. She had a coat that seemed to be some kind of blend between pink and gray, a mane similar to the mare she was with (except this pony's mane had light grayish pink and purple locks, alongside streaks of an unusual shade of blue), and light opal eyes. She was also wearing a cyan blue diaper. Mr. and Mrs. Cake smiled, they knew who the visitors were, Princess Flurry Heart and her parents Shining Armor and Princess Cadence. "Greetings, your majesties," Mrs. Cake humbly greeted. "What brings you to our shop on this day? And how may we be of service?" "Your wish is our command." Mr. Cake added, as he and his wife bowed in respect to their royal guests. Princess Cadence did her best to repress giggles, as she said to The Cakes. "There's no need for such formalities, we're just here on a social visit." "We came to Ponyville to visit Twily, and we figured we might as well stop and grab a bite to eat." Shining Armor explained. "And I see you've brought Flurry Heart along with you," Mrs. Cake smiled. "I assume Sunburst was unavailable?" "Sunburst is back at the empire, recovering from a nasty flu," Shining Armor explained. "We certainly couldn't risk Flurry Heart getting sick as well, plus we figured it would be nice for her to get out and see the world." Flurry Heart giggled and gurgled, as she played with her mother's mane. It was obvious to everypony how excited she was. Mr. Cake smiled at Flurry Heart's playful behavior, it reminded him a lot of the twins when they were first born. Goodness, how time flies. "Why don't you put Flurry Heart in the playpen with Pound and Pumpkin Cake?" he offered to the young parents. "I'm sure she'll love the chance to be with ponies in her own age group." "That sounds like a good idea," Cadence smiled, and carefully pulled Flurry Heart out of her mane with her magic, and set her in the playpen near the kitchen. "Now Flurry Heart, you be a good girl for Mommy and Daddy, okay?" Flurry Heart babbled something that nopony seemed to understand, but Cadence just smiled. That sounded like a yes to her. "Now then, why don't you come into the kitchen and I'll fix you both a cup of coffee?" Mr. Cake offered. "Shouldn't somepony stay and watch over the babies?" Shining Armor asked, somewhat anxiously. "I mean, you know the old saying 'Foals will be foals'." "It'll only be for a few minutes, Shiny," Cadence replied, calling her husband by his pet name. "I think we can trust the babies to behave for that long." "Plus, you'll be right in the next room," Mrs. Cake added. "So it's not like you won't be close by in case anything happens." Reluctantly, Shining Armor agreed with the rest of the adults. "Oh, alright. I guess leaving them in a playpen for a few minutes won't be the end of Equestria. I just hope the twins don't cause any trouble for Flurry Heart, she's a bit too trusting of ponies she hasn't met before. I know it's part of her foalish innocence, but it still worries me." "I'm sure Pound and Pumpkin know better than to make trouble for a princess," Mr. Cake replied. "Now come on in and have a seat. You look like you need to take your mind off your troubles for a bit. Trust me, it doesn't do you good to get so wound up all the time." It didn't take long for Flurry Heart to crawl over to Pound and Pumpkin, the twins were immediately awe struck by her appearance. "You wook just wike Pwincess Twilight." Pound observed. Flurry Heart giggled. "Tat's because my mommy, my aunt, and my gweat aunts awe aww pwincesses too!" she explained. "Wait, you a pwincess?!" Pumpkin gasped. "And you can tawk to us, even though the gwown-ups dun undewstand you?!" Flurry Heart nodded and smiled, extending her wings in excitement. "Yup, Pwincess Fwurry Heawt at youw sewvice. And I dun why, but awthough I can tawk nowmawwy Mommy and Daddy dun unewstand a word I say. Tat's okay though, it makes aww the mowe funny when I know someting they dun know. Pwus, it makes it easy to pway twicks Mr. Sunbuwst." "Who's Sunbuwst?" Pound asked Flurry Heart. "He's a fwiend of Mommy and Daddy, and my teachew and go to foawsittew," Flurry Heart explained. "They say he's someting cawwed a cwystaller, whatevew tat means. I guess is just a fancy way of saying he gets payed to change my diapees when Mommy and Daddy awe busy!" "Is funny you mention diapees, cause we going through potty twaining wight now." Pound boasted. "Potty twaining?" Flurry Heart asked, as if those words had been spoken in a foreign language. Pumpkin nodded. "Uh-huh, basicawwy the gwown-ups expect you to go pee-pee and poo-poo in these tings cawwed potties, instead of youw diapees. If you do it enough, you get pwaced into these tings caweed puww-ups." And she showed off her pull-up to Flurry Heart. "I hope Daddy and Mommy dun make me go through potty twaining," Flurry Heart nervously replied. "I wike my diapees, and dun wanna give them up. I gonna be known as the diapee pwincess!" Pound chuckled at Flurry Heart's statement. "You wemind me a wot of mysewf when this whowe potty twaining ting stawted. I didn wan to give up my diapees, and I twied to evewyting to howd onto them. But noting wowked and so I weluctantly stawted using my potty whenever I had to go. My sistew, on the other hoof, statwed using her potty awmost fwom day one. Tat's why she's in puww-ups wight now, and I'm not." "I see." Flurry Heart replied, surprised that the twins had experienced so much. "So, wha do you wike to do fow fun?" Pumpkin asked Flurry Heart, changing the subject. Flurry Heart shrugged, she'd never been asked such a question before. "Dun know, I nevew weawwy had a pwaymate in my size befowe. I awwyas pway with Mommy, Daddy, Mr. Sunbuwst, or that woyal guard called Fwash Sentwy." Upon hearing the word "Flash", a similarly sounding word came into Pumpkin's mind, and she had an idea for something fun the three of them could do (or at least, something that would be fun for her and her brother). She pulled her brother aside and said to Flurry Heart. "Can you give us a moment, pwease?" "Of couswe I can." Flurry Heart replied, and turned her head and covered her ears with her wings so that she wouldn't overhear the twins conversation. Pumpkin whispered her plan into her brother's ear, prompting her brother to chuckle. "Sounds wike a good idea, but awe you suwe we can keep Fwurry Heawt in the dawk?" he asked. Pumpkin nodded. "She seems a twusting sowt of pony. Besides, is not evewyday you get to give a woyal fwush to the newest membew of Equestwian woyalty. And we can awways send Gummy to wetrieve her." "Vewy weww, but we'd better act fast. If we dun, we may get caught!" Pound replied, and then he and his sister turned to face Flurry Heart. Pound poked Flurry Heart lightly with a hoof to catch her attention. "So, wha we gonna do fow fun?" Flurry Heart asked, suspecting nothing. "Can't teww you, is a secwet!" Pumpkin chuckled. "Bu I can teww you tat it involves the bathwoom. You intewested?" Flurry Heart nodded. "Anyting's bettew than just sitting hewe whiw the gwown-ups tawk about bowing gwown-up stuff," And after unfolding her wings all the way, she said to the twins. "Cwimb abord and teww me whewe to go. I'ww take us thewe with my wings." "This is gonna be easier than I thought." Pumpkin thought to herself, as she and her brother grabbed hold of either side of Flurry Heart. Thanks to Pound and Pumpkin's directions, it didn't take long for Flurry Heart to find and enter the upstairs bathroom. Once inside, the twins steered her towards the closest rug, and had her deposit them on it. Once that was done, Flurry Heart herself landed. "Otay, now what?" she asked the twins. "Do you see tat big white bowl thingy?" Pumpkin said in response. Flurry Heart turned in the direction Pumpkin was pointing, and sure enough there stood the very object she had mentioned. It was certainly big, white, and bowl shaped. Oddly enough, Flurry Heart could've sworn she'd seen a similar object before, somewhere. But she couldn't quite put her hoof on where. "Yeah, I see it." She told Pumpkin. "Can you stiww fwy?" Pound asked Flurry Heart. "Yeah," Flurry Heart replied, then quickly realized what the twins were likely asking. "You wan me to fwy ovew to it, wight?" "Not just ovew to it, but into it." Pumpkin told Flurry Heart. Flurry Heart was a bit skeptical of that request. "Bu why?" she asked. "Because is a speciaw watew swide, bu you can onwy wide in it if you go into the bowl," Pumpkin explained. "Tat's why." "Oh, okay." Flurry Heart replied, now that she knew what the twins' reason was for having her do such an odd request, she saw no need to ask anymore questions. Pound and Pumpkin watched, as Flurry Heart flapped her wings and flew towards the toilet bowl. She was proving to be too easy to trick, and part of them couldn't help but feel guilty as a result. But that part was overridden by their desire to have fun. "You weady, bwother?" Pumpkin asked Pound. "Weady sis, time to give Fwurry Heawt a suwpwise she'ww nevew fowget." Pound chuckled, and he and his sister began to make the preparations necessary for Flurry Heart's royal flush. Flurry Heart sat patiently in the bowl, while also delighting in splashing the water around with her hooves. Pound and Pumpkin were right, this WAS fun! And if she was having this much fun now, she could only imagine how much fun the actual water slide would be. "So, when do I get to wide the swide?" she called from inside the bowl. "Soon, vewy soon," Pumpkin called back. "We just need to get a few tings weady." "Is otay, I can wait." Flurry Heart responded, and continued to splash the water about, still suspecting nothing. At last, Pound and Pumpkin (with the help of a plunger) climbed their way on the big white bowl object's seat. Flurry Heart didn't seem to find it odd that they were standing close to the object's silver handle. "You weady?" Pumpkin asked Flurry Heart, looking down at the infant princess. "Weady and waiting! Do it!" Flurry Heart replied, anticipation running through her at a mile a minute! Pound looked at his sister, who gave him a knowing wink. That was his cue to start the real fun. Flapping his wings, he managed to reach up and grab the handle, forcing it down. "Fwurry Heawt go down the hooooole!" he cried. Flurry Heart continued to giggle in delight, even as the water around her began to swirl and spin around, taking her with it. "Wheeeee!" she cried in delight, as she was flushed down the drain. Her cries of delight being replaced by a gurgling sound, before the water returned without her. Pound and Pumpkin smiled and laughed. "You wewe wight, sis. Fwushing Fwurry Heawt was fun!" Pound laughed. "Yeah, it certainwy was." Pumpkin added. "Ha ha, good one you two. Tat was so funny!" a familiar giggling voice called out, surprising the twins. In a poof of magic, Flurry Heart appeared before the twins, her mane and tail dripping wet (though her diaper surprisingly seemed none the worse for wear). "Huh, bu we fwushed you down the toilet! How awe you hewe?!" Pound asked, as he and his sister jumped down from the toilet. Flurry Heart giggled, as she shook herself dry, water flying everywhere! "Is simpwe, I teweported!" she explained. "It dawned on me once I saw the handle on my way into the bowl. I know a toilet when I see it, and I knew then that you two wewe pwobably gonna fwush me down it." "Bu if you knew we wewe gonna give you a woyal fwush, why did you pway awong?" Pumpkin asked Flurry Heart. "You couwd've easily teweported out at any time." "Because I wanted to be fwushed! I wanted to see if it was fun, and it was!" Flurry Heart explained with a smile. "Mommy and Daddy won't weat go neaw the bathwoom, and neither wiww Mr. Sunbuwst. Tis was my onwy to find out what wouwd happen if I were to be fwushed down the toilet. It wasn as easy as I thought it wouwd be to teweport out fwom the pipes, so I can't do it again." "Ah, I see," Pumpkin realized, and then apologized. "I sowwy fow lying to you and twicking you into getting fwushed, even if you knew what we wewe doing." "Is alwight, I alweady towd you it was fun!" Flurry Heart cheered. "Is a good ting Mommy and Daddy put spewws on my diapee to keep it fwom getting wet." "Speaking of which, we bettew get back downstairs befowe the gwown-ups find out we missing," Pound spoke up. "You stiww got enough stwength weft to fwy us back to the pwaypen?" "Sure, hang on tight." Flurry Heart replied, as the twins grabbed hold of either side of her.
