//------------------------------// // 3- Dinner and Good Night // Story: F.O.A.L. Academy // by DuskShadowBrony //------------------------------// Chapter 3- Dinner It had been a few hours since Twilight had her ‘accident’. Dawn and Twilight were in their dorms. “I won’t be broken, I’ve been through a lot stricter academies. We’ve been through a lot worse.” Twilight sat back on her bed. “There was one academy where you would have your magic restricted for six hours every demerit you had. That was a nightmare, but I only got demerited once, and that was for accidentally damaging something in the lab.” “This is worse, in my opinion.” Dawn shook her head. “Hey, what did they mean by Star Student?” “Oh, right.” Twilight explained how it worked to Dawn. “So basically, you guys have it easier.” Dawn paused. “Wait, based on what you told me, that makes them seem serious about… using… these.” She looked down at the bulge in her onesie. “I think… I really think they are…” Twilight hesitated. “I mean… she seemed really serious about me asking to use the bathroom… and even changed me once I…” Twilight stopped, not wanting anypony to know of her embarrassment. Dawn got the message, despite Twilight’s attempts to cover it up. “I have a really bad feeling about this place… maybe we should just leave.” “Don’t you get it? They’re pushing the rules to the extreme to see if we’re disciplined enough to follow them! We have to follow the rules, if we’re to make it to the end!” Twilight insisted. Dawn sighed, leaning on her bed. “You better be right about this, Twilight.” “I am right. You’ll see. We’ll be happy in the end, I know it.” “I hope so.” Dawn sat up again, looking out the window. “But still… there are no rules against leaving the academy, just in case, right? If we want to walk out, we can just do so. After… taking these off, of course.” She nodded at the foalish apparel on them. “Well… I guess so…” Twilight shrugged. “But I’m not giving up now.” “Yeah, I’ll keep on going for a while, too.” Dawn agreed, looking up at the clock. “It’s almost dinner. We should go.” *** “Come on, open up.” The same pony from before was feeding her. “After you answer my question, please. How much longer will the Academy be doing this?” “There’s no dessert if you don’t open up.” Twilight sighed. She was obviously wasting her time continuing to ask questions. She opened up, allowing the Earth Pony to spoon the food in. She couldn’t help but smile a little at the taste of strawberries. “See? Not so bad, after all, am I right?” the staff member giggled, continuing to spoon-feed her. “Keep up this good behavior, and I’ll see to it that you get extra dessert.” Twilight blushed as she realized that she needed to use the bathroom again, soon after she had finished the mush. “Erm…” she hesitated. “Yes, Twily? Do you need to tell Mommy something?” Twilight blinked a little at the nickname. “I… I have to….” She hesitated again, then not wanting the embarrassment of another accident, spoke out. “I need to use the bathroom.” “Sorry, dear, I don’t know what you mean by ‘bathroom’. Too big of a word for a filly like you. And remember what you’re supposed to call me?” Twilight blushed crimson-red, something that was happening at a regular basis now. “M-mommy, I need to go potty.” She mumbled, barely audible. “What was that, dear?” the staff member asked, although, with her proximity, it was obvious she heard Twilight. “I have to go potty, Mommy.” Twilight spoke a little louder. “You’ll have to speak up, Mommy can’t hear you.” She gave a playful smile. “I need to go potty, Mommy, please!” Twilight’s voice was now loud enough to catch the attention of the two adjacent ponies. “All right, let’s hurry, then.” She was lifted out of the chair and onto the ground. “Now, follow Mommy.” Twilight trotted after her, still having to waddle a little, the training pants not as thick as the diaper, but still enough to spread her legs apart to the point where it hindered her normal movement. “Here you are.” She unlocked the bathroom door, leading Twilight inside. “Now let Mommy help you.” She took Twilight by the hoof, leading her to a toilet meant for foals in potty training. “Come on, dear.” The Earth Pony mare unbuttoned the hatch, and despite Twilight’s protests that she could do it on her own, pulled the training pants down. “No, no, Mommy has to do these things for you.” Twilight found herself seated on the rim, the mare watching her. “D-do you have to watch?” Twilight mumbled, ducking her head in embarrassment. “But of course, dear, don’t you want to do this for Mommy? I know you can do it, you can be a big filly.” Twilight was more humiliated than that time she had blown up the lab back in one of her old academies, but at this point, she really couldn’t hold it any longer, and the sounds of her using the potty was audible in the empty bathroom. “Good filly!” the mare cheered, clapping her hooves, stacking on Twilight’s embarrassment. “Now can you clean yourself up, or do you need Mommy’s help?” “I… I can do it myself…” Twilight wiped herself off, before getting up. The mare pulled Twilight’s training pants back up, rebuttoning the hatch on her onesie. “Such a big filly, Mommy’s proud of you.” The mare hugged her, and instinct made Twilight hug back. The mare smiled more at this, rubbing her back comfortingly. Twilight felt her embarrassment melt away into a calm feeling, brought back to the days where her mother cradled her during her early years. The mare’s mane smelled of flowers, her fur soft and gentle. She felt herself getting sleepy, despite it being early in the evening, before curfew. “Shh... It’s okay, Mommy’s got you, just rest, if you want to.” Twilight was kept in the warm hug, soon closing her eyes, falling into a peaceful slumber.
