Will she be have or have to spend time out in the naughty corner? When will her papa come pick her up? And who is this mysterious diapered eevee who is apparently the daycares mascot? Read to find out!

It was a bright, sunny day at the Viridian City Community College as the students hustled back and forth on the campus for various reasons like trying to make it to their classes, though one such mon looked very out of place next to all the young adult students and various teachers. Marie Antoinette Wendell, known as Toni to those she allowed to call her such, stood out since the little gothita looked like she would be more suited to learning her ABCs than being anywhere on a college campus. Or maybe learning the finer points of potty training since the slight crinkle as she walked was a tell-tale sign of the diapers the little psychic still wore.
She was on campus with her adopted father Professor Wendell the metang, who’d been invited to give a lecture in a mechanics class on campus. Since Toni had the day off and was considering what she wanted to do after she graduated from her high-school she’d come along to see the campus… or least that’s what she’d told her papa anyway. While it was partially true the little gothita had another goal in mind. She was hoping to meet Ms. Lorelei Bivalve, a teacher her papa had mentioned to her several times.
Ms. Bivalve was a cloyster woman and, at least from how papa described her, was an independent, assertive, and strong woman with a sly wit and cool demeanor. She taught marine biology at the college, went depth diving regularly, and was really popular with the students… not to mention she sounded like exactly the kind of woman Toni hoped to grow up to be. The main reason she’d come along with her papa to the college was in hopes of meeting her… which is why she kept craining her neck back and forth, scanning the halls for any sign of her, even as she followed her papa to the classroom for his lecture.
“Alright, here’s the classroom.” Professor Wendell said before smiling, as hard as it was with a metal face, at Toni who knew her papa well enough to be able to tell his otherwise hard to read expressions “Hope my lecture will keep your attention.” He added as he stepped into the room, through the open door Toni could see the class was already waiting. She pouted softly at the thought of trying to find a seat without somebody commenting on her looks… but before she could step inside her eyes caught sight of a grey, spikey, hinged shell attached to what looked like a shapely woman’s form just rounding the corner out of sight far, far down the hall. Any thoughts of listening to her papa’s lecture flew from Toni’s mind as she scurried down the hall as fast as her diaper would allow to try and catch up with what she hoped was Ms. Bivalve.
Crinkling and huffing a little as she turned the corner where she’d thought she saw the cloyster Toni couldn’t help but feel annoyed when she realized the hall was empty. Worse it had lots of doors on either side, all shut tight, meaning she’d have to try and open each one if she wanted to look inside due to being too small to see through the windows. How was she supposed to meet her idol now? As Toni stood there pouting she suddenly realized a shadow had fallen over her… but it was too late to do anything as a pair of big, red claws with black eyespots on them suddenly slipped under her arms and scooped her up.
“H-HEY!!!”
“Pipe down, lets get you back to that daycare… why you brats keep sneaking over here I’ll never know.”
As she was handled like a squirming sack of potatoes Toni could see she’d been scooped up by an annoyed looking Scizor wearing a security guards uniform… as the bug type tucked her under his arm and started carrying her down the hall. “P-P-Put me down!” she squealed, realizing being held like this made her diapers obvious as she struggled in futile rage her face red with shame and embarrassment. “I’m fourteen! You can’t do this! I said put me down you… you… meanie!!!” she yelled, too embarrassed and upset to think up anything better. Meanwhile the bug-type just seemed to have completely tuned her out as he mumbled.
“Yeah, yeah keep your diapers on... this is your fault for sneaking over here, stupid brats…”
Toni soon found herself outside the building. She’d been reduced to sniffling and biting back tears and her cheeks were bright red at the indignity of being carried like this. “There, this is where you snuck out of right?” the scizor asked, suddenly swinging Toni around just fast enough to disorient her without being rough. He held her up under her armpits as she found herself looking up at what had to be a recently finished building. It was one story tall and brightly colored with a sign in the window that said “Fluffy Hugs Daycare” with a cute baby eevee pictured over the words. Not bothering to wait for her to answer the scizor tucked her back under his arm and pushed the door open, the attacked bell chiming softly, as Toni found herself in the familiar setting of a daycare.
There was a smell of baby powder and various baby products along with the general background ruckus of multiple children all making noises at once. Unfortunately due to how she was being carried Toni couldn’t see much more than a front desk with a sign in sheet, a little bell to ring for service, and the daycares rates & hours of operation. “HEY! GOT ANOTHER OF YOURS SNUCK INTO THE COLLEGE!” the scizor suddenly shouted, making Toni wince a little, as the sound of somebody scrambling came from the back room… followed by a young adult sylveon guy wearing normal clothes and an apron nearly falling over the toddler gate put up in the doorway as he rushed to get to the desk,
“Another one?” he asked, his tone and expression showing he was obviously more annoyed then surprised by this “Sorry, here let me take her off your hands.” He said, holding his paws out to take Toni from the Scizor. She tried to struggle and protest at this… but it was cut short by how roughly she was shoved into the fairy types hands followed by the scizor promptly turning and leaving without another word. “That’s’ five minutes in the naughty corner for sneaking out little lady.” The sylveon said, using that patronizing adult-to-kindergartner tone Toni hated “Then after you’ve thought about what you’ve done we’ll get you back with the other little ones… but first lets see if you need a change.”
“I’m notta baby! I shouldn’t even be here! Let me GO!” Toni protested, struggling in the sylveon’s grasp… before she squeaked in embarrassment as her skirt was flipped up and her diaper checked. “Yep, we got a soggy little one here.” The fairy type declared for the entire world to hear as Toni once again blushed bright red in shame, temporarily silenced by her embarrassment. She must have wet them out of embarrassment when the scizor was hauling her around. Either way she found herself in a much gentler cradle more suited to handling a baby, or in this case a baby shaped teen, as the sylveon stepped over the toddler gate and into the back room.
With her chin resting on the eeveelutions shoulder and the rest of her held in a struggle proof cradle Toni was forced to just pout and watch while being unable to see where they were going. She saw a typical daycare… colorful carpet to keep kids from hurting themselves when they fell, littered with toys, a cutesy wallpaper design, cubby holes for the older kids things, what looked like a doorway to the nursery section, and of course plenty of mon the age she looked and younger happily playing as an espeon lady dressed the same as the sylveon tried to maintain the barest semblance of order. Nothing Toni hadn’t seen before since this wasn’t the first time she’d been drafted into a daycare like this.
“Hey Ma! Got another little jail-breaker here that got over to the college! She needs a fresh diaper before her time out, think you can handle it? Please?” The sylveon asked, talking to somebody Toni couldn’t see. “Still too skittish to change diapers huh fluffy?” someone said, the voice a deep woman’s and having a playful tone as Toni could feel the sylveon blush before he let out a whine that seemed more suited for the kids he was supposed to be watching “Don’t call me that in front of the kids Ma!” Suddenly Toni was lifted up and exchanged between hands as the woman’s voice chided her son “Go help your siblings then, Arceus knows I changed all nine of your diapers long enough another one won’t hurt.”
As Toni watched the fairy type turn and walk off she found herself being turned around to look up into the deep eyes of a tall, for her species anyway, and rather plump Flareon woman. She had the look of an experienced mother and an air of authority around her… which wasn’t about to stop Toni from demanding to be put down and saying her Papa would hear about this. What DID stop her though was another diaper check followed by a pat and being snuggled to the flareon’s chest “You are a soggy baby~ We’ll lets get you aaaaaaall nice and dry then~ Yes we will~” the tone was cooing, patronizing, and sweet to the point of being sickening as Toni was left too aghast to protest.
She found herself whisked over to a changing table in the corner of the room, laid down, and her skirt flipped up out of the way so far she had to take a minute to process what had happened. By then her diaper had already been untapped and removed, exposing the little gothita to the cool air which made her squeak in surprise. The cold baby wipes that followed made her squeak again and squirm. The stupid flareon’s constant cooing and baby-talk just made the whole thing even worse. Not once was she silent even as she cleaned, applied rash cream, oiled, and powdered Toni’s bottom all the while cooing about what a cute little girl Toni was and how she shouldn’t have snuck over to the “Big Kids” school.
By the time the new diaper was taped up Toni was too focused on biting her lip to keep from crying in embarrassment to care it was thicker than her previous one and would definitely stick out under her skirt. Her cheeks felt like they were on fire with blush and she was about ready to start screaming in frustration. “Now then, five minutes in the naughty corner to think about what you’ve done and then you can go play with your friends~ Alright little one~?” the flareon cooed to her as she scooped the gothita off he changing table and rubbed noses with her.
“I told you! I shouldn’t be here!!”
“Now now, no fussing.”
“I’m not a baby!!”
“I never said you were dear, now behave or else.”
“LET ME GO!!”
Suddenly a pacifier was popped into Toni’s mouth mid shout, silencing her, as the Flareon held the little psychic up so they were looking each other in the eye. “Little one, behave or I’ll put you over my knee for a quick spanking before your corner time and believe me neither of us want that.” The flareon said, her voice having gone from cooing to stern and firm so a toddler could tell she meant business by the tone if not the words themselves. Toni’s cheeks immediately flushed pink as she pictured being spanked in front of all this kids who were less than half her age. The sheer embarrassment would be too much! Any thoughts of fighting this horrible, horrible mix-up died in her as she whimpered and pouted, going limp in the flareon’s arms.
‘That’s a good girl, now…” the flareon carried her over to a little stool set in the corner with a marked off area “If you behave and stay in the time-out corner to think about what you’ve done then in five minutes you’ll get to go play again, okay~?” her tone was gentle as she set Toni down and pointed to a little timer hung on the wall “When this rings me or another grown-up will come get you and then you can go play, but you have to stay right here till then~” with that she pushed Toni so the little gothita found herself plopped down on the tool with a crinkle before being turned to face the corner. She heard the time being wound and start ticking before the flareon patted her head gently “Behave little one~” and padded off to leave Toni to her punishment.
The moment she was sure the flareon was gone Toni let the pacifier slip out of her mouth and fall to her lap. Toni’s thoughts were racing a mile a minute as her cheeks still glowed. “This is so humiliating… how did I let things go this overboard!?” she thought, blushing more and pouting “When will I learn that this kind of situation always happens when I wander off on my own…” she sulked… before blushing more and looking at her feet as she realized she had kinda betrayed her papa’s trust with that stunt and not telling him why she wanted to come along. All she could hope is he’d come find her soon and not be too upset…
Till then all she could do was sit and wait for her time out to be over.
***************************
Finally the timer dinged and Toni found herself being scooped up “There we are, now are you going to be a good girl~?” the flareon asked as she snuggled Toni, the gothita blushing and nodding before timidly speaking up “Y-yes ma’am… but no more pacifiers… please?” she said in a pleading tone that made her blush that much harder. Fortunately the flareon gave her a warm, doting smile that told Toni it’d worked “Well aren’t you well-spoken for your age~” she cooed, scooping the pacifier off of Toni’s lap where it’d manage to remain and pocketing it “And of course sweetie~ As long as you stay a good girl at least… also call me Nana~” she added, giving Toni’s head a warm but patronizing kiss that made the tiny psychic blush that much harder.
“Now then, I think it’s time you got back to playing~” the flareon said as she carried Toni over to where she’d seen the espeon lady earlier before setting the little girl down on her feet, Toni blushing even more when she realized the diaper she’d been put into splayed her legs out in a cute waddle, and giving Toni a pat on her padded bottom in the direction of where the other kids (who all looked to be between the ages of 3 and 5) were. “Now, go play~” the lady cooed as the pat made Toni taking several waddling steps forward, crinkling as she went and barely managing to keep her balance. The little gothita whined softly in embarrassment at the idea of being made to play with kids less than half her age… but a small part of her was relieved it was pre-schoolers and she wasn’t being sentenced to the nursery with the babies and toddlers…
“Nana! What’s da baby doing here!?”
Looking up for the source of the voice Toni saw a little, though probably taller than her by a few inches, misdreavus girl floating over to them. She was wearing a simple short sleeved sundress, socks & shoes, and had her hair held back by an Alice band… she also was in either pull-ups or big girl panties judging by the fact she had her legs together. Her face was in a pouty look of contempt at the idea of sharing her play area with a “Baby”… in this case Toni. “Now Susan, just because she’s having a little trouble with potty training doesn’t make her a baby…” the flareon chided as the little girl just puffed her cheeks out and shook her head “Nu!” she demanded, sounding like the kind of kid who always got her way “She’s a baby! Only baby’s wear diapers!” she declared.
Toni would have rolled her eyes even as she blushed, annoyed but willing to ignore the spoiled little ghost since this was pretty much the same as when Nicky teased her about being diapered (though the little girl had a better excuse for being uncreative with the insults). That was until Nana patted her shoulder and said “Why don’t you introduce yourself and tell Susan how old you are sweetie? So she’ll know you’re not a baby~” the flareon cooed as Toni blushed but responded before she could stop herself “I’m Toni and I’m fourt…” Toni hung up on the word fourteen since she realized they’d just accuse her of fibbing. Should she even bother to try and tell the truth at this point?
“See? Toni’s four years old so she’s a big girl, just a year younger then you~” Nana said, taking Toni’s hang-up to mean she’d said she was four, as the flareon smiled encouragingly to Susan. The little ghost just pouted and folded her arms “… she’s a baby! Just a dumb baby!” she declared once more before sticking her tongue out at Toni and floating off towards a treecko and spearow girl who were waiting for her to rejoin their teaparty. Toni meanwhile just blushed and pouted at being called a four year old… she just kept digging herself in deeper here.
“Sorry about that dear, Susan likes to brag about being a big girl is all… now why don’t you go play till snack time, okay~” Nana cooed, giving Toni’s padded bottom another firm pat and sending her toddling further into the play area. Toni blushed and struggled to keep her balance as she watched the flareon pad off to some other part of the daycare, meaning the little gothita really was stuck here. Sighing Toni started to look around, trying to find something to do to pass the time other than standing there pouting… especially since the toddler gate on the only door she could escape from was way too high for her to get over before she’d be caught.
Glancing around the room the first thing she saw was a little plastic table made for little kids and covered with various crayons, coloring books, and everything the kids would need to scribble with… which several little kids were happily doing, not a one of them really managing to stay in the lines either from what Toni could see. She immediately decided against trying that. She’d stand out too much since she couldn’t scribble as messily as the real kids. Last thing she wanted was to end up being the center of attention again just because she colored in the lines enough for one of the caretakers to decide to show her work off… like last time.
Next thing she saw was what was probably the “Girly” corner with the dolls, little plastic kitchen, and the ghost brat from earlier having a tea party with her posse. It didn’t take a second for Toni to write that one off. The little brats would either whine at her for being there, try and talk down to her, or make juvenile attempts at teasing her. She dealt with the last two regularly enough from Nicky, so she’d just as soon not get it from actual little kids. Noticing Susan glaring at her for so much as staring at the trio for this long Toni rolled her eyes and resumed searching for what to do.
Next thing she saw was a bunch of kids playing with various shaped blocks, trying to build cities and other structures… but mostly just stacking them on top of each other. Suddenly a memory stirred from somewhere deep in Toni’s mind, of back when she was actually a toddler. She’d been playing with blocks and trying to stack them… but no matter how much she tried she’d never managed to make a tower taller than her knees without it collapsing. Cheeks flushed with shame and embarrassment as though this’d just happened instead of being years ago the little gothita turned on her heels and walked off to look for something else to do. There had to be SOMETHING that was, if nothing else, less demeaning then the other choices around here…
Suddenly the sound of a bouncing rubber ball caught her attention as she realized she’d ended up right next to a kid playing by himself. It was a little nidoran boy wearing just a pair of overalls with what looked to be pull-ups peeking up from under them. He looked like he’d just become old enough to leave the nursery and play with the big kids… and was probably having to play alone due to brats like Susan. He was currently sitting on his bottom and bouncing a rubber ball off a nearby wall. He caught it and was about to bounce it again but abruptly stopped as his oversized ears, even by nido standards, twitched up to attention. Hugging the ball close he timidly turned to look at Toni. His face adorable, chubby cheeked, and incredibly shy as if he was scared the stranger would take his toy away. His ears drooped a little as he managed to squeak out a timid…
“W-wanna p-pway?”
*****************
The little boy’s, he hadn’t told Toni his name yet, shyness was long gone as he giggled, clapped, and squeaked in awe as he watched Toni lightly slipped her foot under the ball and rolled it so she was balancing it there, her padded butt crinkling the whole while. After a moment of balancing it Toni started to bounce it lightly in the air and do kick-ups with it. The extra padding around her middle was making it more difficult than usual as she was counting them off… seven, eight, nine, ten. And it looked that was her limit as she finally lost her balance and ended up on her bottom, the ball bouncing off the ground once before she caught it. Without the extra thick padding she could have kept it going… but judging from the little nido’s reaction she might as well have flown through the air on a rainbow. He was utterly awed by her little stunt, looking up to her with wide eyes and a big smile as Toni blushed and giggled a little before lightly bouncing the ball back to him.
Suddenly Toni felt someone lightly lifting her up with one hand and patting her diaper with the other, check to see if she was wet or messy. Toni’s cheeks flushed red and puffed out at this indignity as she pouted her lips and was ready to turn around and yell at whoever just did that… till she remembered the flareon lady, the pacifier, and the time out corner. Biting down her tantrum she settled for sulking… sides, if she was put in time out again her playmate would probably be lonely. “All dry and clean~” the diaper checker said, revealing himself to be a young adult umbreon who was smiling down patronizingly at Toni “Good girl~” he praised her in an even more patronizing way.
That nearly tore Toni’s resolve to avoid getting in trouble but luckily he turned away from her letting her force her temper under control “Do you need to go potty Ethan?” he asked the little nido, who just shook his head innocently. Toni momentarily wondered if the kid could even pronounce his own name yet as she watched the umbreon check to make sure Ethan hadn’t had any accidents. Once he was satisfied they were both dry and clean he lifted them up to their feet “Come on you two~ Time to line up for Snack Time~” he said in that sing-song tone you used for kids the age they assumed Toni was as the gothita found herself being reluctantly led to the center of the room where the other kids were being lined up.
Being shepherded into the line, or as close as you could get to a line with a bunch of pre-school kids, Toni felt a tug on the back of her shirt and found Ethan was there clinging to her. She opted not to upset the little mon and just let him do this as the line started moving. Being moved along she saw they were entering a large kitchen/dining room area with a few tables… one of which sporting lots of highchairs and booster seats, most full of various babies and toddlers as the flareon from earlier was getting help from the sylveon to feed all of them. Luckily they were led to the other tables, all of which were set low and had the plastic chairs that were designed for little kids stationed at them.
The line broke apart slowly as the umbreon, with help from the espeon lady Toni had seen earlier, worked to get all of the kids seated. Ignoring the patronizing as she was led to a chair and seated by the two Toni just looked around at all the fidgeting, impatient, and excited kids. Ethan was seated on her left, which was fine by her… but Susan and her little posse were seated across from them and kept giving Toni glares. The tiny teen just did her best to ignore them as she looked away, idly wondered what the snack they were going to be given was.
Suddenly a black furred paw blocked Toni’s vision as a little plate, one of those ones for little kids made to look like a feral with little added circles attached to be the eyes or ears, was set in front of her with several carrot sticks and a dab of mayo on it. Apparently this was their snack for the day and, judging by the reaction from the other kids as they each received their plates, most of them were still in the “Veggies are icky” state of mind. Toni meanwhile honestly didn’t have an opinion either way as she started to eat without a fuss… which was apparently the wrong move to make in this case.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwww!” the treecko and spearow that made up Susan’s posse said in disgust, looking at Toni as if she’d just eaten a live caterpie. Toni tried to just ignore them but the little ghost decided to capitalize on the situation as she gave a smug grin “See! She’s a baby!” she declared, pointing at Toni “She’s used ta eating baby food and mushy peas so that’s why she’s eating yucky veggies!” she stated, smirking as if she’d just come up with the best insult in the world. Toni meanwhile was unbothered by the little girls attempt at reasoning and just looked away and continued eating, ignoring Susan completely. Which was again apparently the wrong thing to do.
SPLAT! Suddenly a big glob of mayo landed on the front of Toni’s shirt surprising her. Upon hearing giggles her head immediately snapped up to find Susan had used one of the carrot stick to fling it at her and the little ghost was currently sitting there looking quite smug about it. Feeling her cheeks glow red Toni was about to give the little brat the telling off she had coming… but Susan suddenly cut her off by shouting to the nearby umbreon to get his attention “Tha baby dribbled on her clothes!” she shouted as Toni sat there furious, embarrassed, and a little surprised the brat had thought out this far ahead. “Well…” the umbreon said, kneeling down to Toni and using some paper towel he’d grabbed for this to clean the mayo off her shirt “Lets get you a bib then little one…”
Toni was shocked, aghast, and even more furious then before as she puffed her cheeks out more then ready to give both the brat and the umbreon one hell of a screaming at. She suddenly saw the flareon from earlier eyeing her though with a stern, no-nonsense look that warned her not to make a fuss… further hammered home by the empty highchair she was standing next to that was more than big enough to fit Toni. Having no other choice the gothita bit down and was forced to bottle her rage as the umbreon came back and fastened a bib around her neck, Susan giggling triumphantly the whole while. Not even the sippie cup of juice that was set next to her to go with the snack could darken Toni’s mood any further after this.
Soon enough snack time was over and the kids were lined up to go back to the playroom, the umbreon removing Toni’s bib as he ushered her into line… not that it helped Toni’s mood any. Between the suppressed anger, the humiliation, and so many other things the little gothita was too busy sulking and fuming at the injustice of it all to really notice anything. She just plopped down on her diapered bottom in the middle of the playroom, crossed her arms, and pouted like the four year old they though she was. Several minutes passed, though she couldn’t be sure since she didn’t bother to look for a clock to check, before Toni finally stopped sulking enough to realize something…
Nobody was teasing or laughing at her. For some reason Susan and her posse hadn’t bothered her any… which didn’t make any sense. Whenever Nicky got away with something he always made sure to gloat and rub it in Toni’s face… and since they were both spoiled little brats Susan would probably be the same. Looking around the playroom Toni finally realized the little ghost girl was nowhere to be seen. Her posse was back in the girly corner looking glum but she couldn’t see Susan anywhere… did she get picked up early or something? Not that she minded not having to deal with her… but Toni couldn’t help but be confused, curious, and a bit annoyed at the ghost types sudden disappearing act.
Which is why her response to someone tapping on her shoulder turned into an annoyed sounding “What do you want?” as she looked to see which kid was bugging her this time… and found herself craning her neck up a little to see who it was. It was an eevee boy who was probably a little less than half a foot or so taller than her, though since she was still sitting down he towered over her, looking down at Toni with an annoyed expression. He had a babyish, cherubic face, chubby, slightly odd proportioned body, and just general childish looks that made it very hard to place his age. Though the cute, clefable curl of hair on his forehead, much like Toni’s own curl, immediately made her realize he was probably the eevee the cartoonish logo on the daycare sign was based on, though a little older looking and sporting a t shirt, cargo shorts, socks, and sneakers as opposed to just a diaper like the sign baby.
More than that though Toni couldn’t shake the feeling she’d seen him before and quite recently too… but she just couldn’t quite place where or when as she mumbled out a confused “Have we met before?” The eevee just snorted and nodded and grunted out “Yeah.” in a voice that sounded a little too deep to be a proper little kids but nowhere close enough to be much older than that. “Come on, get up.” he said, tugging Toni up onto her feet by her hands “Mama wants to talk to you.” being his only words of explanation to the confused girl as he started to tug her off in some direction… as Toni sputtered in surprise and protest before realizing something.
The sound of diapers crinkling with each step was way too loud to just be hers no matter how thick it was. Immediately glancing down Toni’s sharp eyes picked out all the tell-tale signs that the eevee was sporting a thick diaper under his shorts… the bulgy butt, slight waddling steps, crinkle at each motions, the odd way his shorts fit… he was definitely diapered. Still she couldn’t fight her reflex as she looked up, still being more dragged along then anything, at his face and asked in a hushed tone “Are you wearing diapers?” since she was used to talking about this particular subject in secret to make sure others don’t overhear. She made sure to keep her eyes focused on his head and face as she waited for his answer.
“Yep, I am.” Was his incredibly blunt answer, his tone one of simple annoyance “Now come on, I’m not gonna drag you the whole way and I’m not gonna carry you so walk.” He said giving Toni’s arm another tug as the gothita reluctantly started toddling along as he led her. “So… remind me where we met again?” she asked, focusing on that and the odd comment he’d made now that the diaper question was out of the way “And by Mama you mean the flareon, right?” she added, assuming he was one of her kids. The eevee didn’t bother to look back to address her as he led Toni across the playroom “Yeah, the flareons my mom…” he answered “and I saw you when I was taking a tour of the PCA trying to decide if I wanted to transfer schools.”
That was enough of a reminder for Toni to finally recall where she’d seen him before as the memory flashed into her mind. It’d been a few days ago when she’d been walking down the halls of the PCA… the eevee had passed by her with a glaceon woman and a teacher leading them. She distinctly remembered that since she noticed the clefable like forehead curl he had. It was like hers and looked really odd on an eevee. But this also meant he knew she wasn’t a little kid! Usually she was against asking this kind of favors from people or getting others to speak up for her but Toni honestly couldn’t see any other options at the moment…
“Could you please tell them” she started to say, only to be cut off by the eevee with a blunt “Nope. I won’t.” that left Toni stunned. “Besides, they wouldn’t believe me even if I tried to tell them you weren’t a little kid.” he explained, still not bothering to even look at Toni as the little gothita puffed her cheeks and lips out in a pout before mumbling a barely audible “Why’s it so hard to believe?” The eevee’s long ears twitched, apparently hearing Toni’s comment clear as day, as he finally glanced back at her with an eyebrow lifted look of disbelief. “Seriously?” he asked in a tone that made Toni blush, pout even worse, and give a glare that should have pierced straight through the eevee’s head.
Ignoring the eye-daggers stabbing into him he resumed leading her along before suddenly stopping at a closed door and putting one long ear to it. “Anyway, dunno what Mama wants you for…” he said, though whether he was talking to Toni or just mumbling to himself was hard to tell “But it probably has to do with whatever got that brat ghost girl put in time-out.” Toni blinked at hearing that and she couldn’t help but blurt "...wait, what? Didn't that brat get away with her prank?" The eevee didn’t answer as he finally opened the door and dragged her inside.
Toni found herself in what was probably the daycares equivalent to a nurse’s office since it was stocked to handle everything from diaper changes to bandaging owies. The flareon was there, though what she was doing Toni couldn’t tell, and as she turned to face them the eevee underwent a startling change. His stoic, grumpy face broke out into a cherubic, innocent looking smile as he greeted the flareon with “Hi Mama! I brought the girl you wanted to see!” in a tone that lacked the annoyed, surliness he’d been addressing Toni with making him sound… for lack of a better term… young and cute.
Toni just stared at the eevee and the sudden change in his demeanor, her raised eyebrow and incredulous look something no real four year old could manage, as the flareon padded over to them. “Thank you Fluffles~” she cooed, kneeling down to rub her son’s head affectionately as he giggled… before eeping as she pulled him into a hug and patted his bottom, a move Toni recognized as a diaper check. “Still dry and clean~ That’s mommy’s little mon~” the flareon cooed before kissing the eevee’s head, gently turning him around, the normal type’s cheeks bright pink with blush at this point, and giving him a butt pat in the direction of the door “Now why don’t you get back to the nursery and help your sister~” she said as the blushing eevee needed no further prodding to waddle out of the room leaving Toni alone with the fire type.
There was silence for a moment before Toni asked “… what was all that?” since she was still stunned by the eevee’s sudden personality shift. "Oh just me talking to my son is all.” the flareon said as she smiled down at the gothita “Now then sweetie I have something important to tell you~". Toni was about to comment that the little display the eevee put on was going to be hard to ignore and ask what the important thing the flareon wanted to tell her was… but she was cut off before she could begin as the fire type scooped her up. Toni blushed furiously as she was snuggled in the flareon’s arms, her head resting on the woman’s shoulder as the fire type rubbed her back gently.
“I’d like to say I’m sorry for not punishing Susan right when she pulled that mean prank on you~” the flareon said gently, getting Toni’s attention. “You see, if I’d come over and punished her for it then Susan would have thrown a biiiiiiig tantrum” the flareon was using her tone to try and get the meaning of what she was saying across just in case Toni was “Too little” to understand some of the words “And it would have upset all the little ones there… so I had to wait till after snack time when I could talk to her by herself. She’s in time out now for being a meanie and bullying you~” the fire type explained, lightly nuzzling Toni’s head as she coddled her.
Toni, who’d probably blushed through a whole spectrum of colors during all that cooing and coddling, pouted softly but nodded since Nana’s reasoning made sense. Sighing she said “Fine…” and was about to admit that what the flareon did was reasonable, but the woman once again took advantage of Toni’s pause to cut the little girl off “So to make it up to you I’ve got a little treat for you~!” she cooed, in the kind of tone adults use to get little kids excited about something. Toni pouted even worse at being interrupted again… the promise of a treat had her a little curious but she WASN’T like a certain diapered teddy bear friend of hers. She couldn’t be bought off with snacks and she was STILL very annoyed at the flareon.
“Here you go sweetie~” Nana said as she produced a small, though large enough compared to Toni to be worthwhile, lollipop and handed it to the gothtita “Hope this makes up for it~” she added unwrapped the sweet for Toni before the girl could make an attempt at doing it herself. Toni just sighed in acceptance and popped the candy in her mouth to suck on it, managing a weak smile when she realized the lollipop was at least a flavor she really liked. She risked thinking that maybe things would get better from here on in… which as optimistic as it sounded didn’t last a minute as Toni found herself resting on the flareon’s shoulder while the fire type checked her diaper and loudly announced the results.
“Looks like you need another change sweetie~ Lets get you sorted out~”
Toni’s cheeks flared red as she realized she must have had an accident sometime during all this and not realized it. She mentally blamed this daycare and the workers in it but that didn’t do anything to make the reality less embarrassing. She let out a weak whimper as Nana laid her on the changing table of the room, which was equipped and large enough to handle two giant babies Toni idly noticed, and stroked her head reassuringly before popping the tapes on the gothita’s diaper. Toni was once again subjected to the merciless baby-talk and cooing as the flareon cleaned her bottom till Toni was fairly certain her butt was squeaky clean enough to shine… but that meant the ordeal was half over with at least.
Or it would have been had the door to the room not opened and the sylveon from earlier come in, carrying a familiar little ghost who was squirming in his arms. Toni immediately moved to cover herself as she glared at the ghost who seemed too preoccupied trying to squirm free to do more than spare a brief glare back. “Hey Ma? Susan’s time out is done but since it’s almost nap time… well…” the sylveon said, giving his flareon mother a bashful look as she let out a light, good natured huff and smiled at him “You want me to get her into her nap undies after all the ruckus she cause last time you tried, right?” She said, giving him a knowing look as her son blushed and nodded sheepishly before handing the ghost over. Nana took it in stride though, chuckling softly as she cuddled Susan with one arm and shooed her son off like a kindergartner being told to go play with the other. He needed no further coaxing and quickly left.
Toni meanwhile was blushing furiously as she covered her now squeaky clean dignity with both hands. Her lips stuck out in a furious pout as she glared at the little ghost squirming in Nana’s arms. The only thing on Toni’s mind being anger at the impertinence of the sylveon bringing Susan here during her most embarrassing moment… at least until it gave way to confusion as Nana laid Susan down next to Toni and got to work stripping the ghost girl’s lower clothing away till she was as exposed as Toni.
Looking at the ghost girl in confusion Toni saw Susan’s face was red cheeked in embarrassment as she bit her lip, eyes teary with shame… which probably wasn’t helped by Nana talking about how she used to have to change the twin’s diapers at the same time while getting out the supplies needed to finish diapering both girls. For a brief moment thoughts like “Ha! Not so big now are you?” and “Why does she have to diaper the brat here, now, with me?” crossed Toni’s mind… before being replaced with pity. Unlike a certain larvitar nuisance Susan WAS too little to know better, so her behavior was much more excusable. That and Toni was too well acquainted with the embarrassment of needing diapers to ignore seeing it on a child like this.
Her thoughts immediately turned to what to do and just as quickly she scratched off showing pity or trying to make the ghost girl laugh since Susan seemed more like she’d launch into a tantrum at those then calm down any. It actually looked like the only reason Susan wasn’t already kicking and screaming was because Nana was changing her and probably wouldn’t hesitate to discipline the ghost if she did. Which meant Toni could only really think of one thing to do… try to distract Susan from the diaper change somehow, maybe with conversation…
"...hey brat, uh, Susan, do you like cartoons?" Toni asked as Susan just pouted more and mumbled "... not gonna talk tu a stupid baby..." in response as Nana worked to prep both girls for their coming diapers. "Huh, thought you would like to know a secret about Joan d'Arthur...” Toni said, referencing her favorite character from the Petite Poke Pony series “Then again you don't seem to know who I am talking about." She added, hiding the slightly sly tone to her voice. This was an old trick but Susan was probably not old enough to realize she was being baited so it just might work…
"... what secret?"
Hook, line, and sinker~ Toni didn’t bother to hide her slight smile at this as she casually replied "...forget it, you don't know Joan~" Which got an immediate response as Susan sat up a bit to glare at Toni even as Nana gently eased the ghost girl back down onto the table "Yeah I do you stupid baby! She's da bestest!" she protested, embarrassment at the diaper change replaced by childish annoyance towards the gothita girl. Just like Toni had been hoping.
"Second best~ her teacher Pallas is the only master fencer...after all, Joan still doesn't have her secret of the sword~"
It was probably an unfair jab since Toni was older and could remember more about the fandom, but she couldn’t help herself with that last comment. Especially when it got Susan to make an adorable dumbstruck look before blushing and pouting as she folded her arms and looked away "... so... she's still da bestest pony..." she shot back, using classic little kid logic. Toni was grinning now as she waited a moment to properly build the tension for her next comment, leaving the room quiet save the soft shaking noises of the powder Nana was using on the girls. Finally Toni spoke up.
"...aaand~ she might find out her secret soon~"
There was a brief pause before Susan sat bolt upright, an awed look of disbelief on her face as she blurted out “She will!?” only to have the flareon place her paw on the ghost girl’s chest and again ease her back down onto the changing table “Sit back down dear, I’m not done yet~” she said while chuckling softly as Susan blushed and mumbled a weak “Sowwie Nana…” Toni meanwhile tried not to giggle at this as she smiled and waited for Susan to be laid back down before continuing. "Do you know about the movie that premieres next week?" she asked, as Susan nodded eagerly and answered "Yeah huh! Mommy and daddy promised tu take me tu it!"
The movie in question was “Petite Poke Pony: Blade of the Beautiful Bonds”, the latest and biggest movie for the series and due to come out very soon. It was supposed to feature the heroines of the series fighting against the evil witch queen Malivula to stop her invasion of their home, Paradaisy. A lot of fans of the series and little girls were looking forward to it "Well, I have been a good girl, so my papa pre-ordered the tickets” Toni said, falling neatly into both categories, before continuing “and as preorder bonus I got access to a special trailer...want to hear about it?"
“YES!!” Susan shouted eagerly… before both girls squeaked in surprise as Nana somehow managed to lift them both by their ankles at once and slip the diapers under their bottoms. After a moment Toni tried to shake off her surprise and try to remember the exact wording the trailer had used. "The secret of the sword must remain a secret. Only by seeing it you can understand its meaning. When the Combing Blade glitters like a prism, it will cast light upon the truth... that's pretty much what it said." She said before glancing over to Susan… and seeing from the ghost girls expression she might as well have tried to quote algebra to the five year old for how much Susan had grasped.
"I think it was a spell or something like that” Toni explained before adding “anyway Joan was wearing a never before seen battle dress.” Susan looked like she was considering this for a moment before she spoke up with a question "... was it pretty?" which made Toni giggle and grin "Pretty? It was even better than the one from the last movie!” the gothita said excitedly “This one is a glass-like silver with purple ribbons and gold buttons plus a bunch of pearly pink bows around and a big yellow ribbon keeping her tail in a braid, she was also wearing diamond horseshoes!"
Susan let out a little squeal of excitement at the description… just as Nana finished taping the fresh diapers up snuggly onto the girls. Patting the diapers as if to signal she was done Nana gave the two a warm smile before scooping them up and nuzzling their heads. "Well~ I'm glad you two have become friends~” she said, sounding very happy the two had worked out their differences “Now lets get you to story time~" the flareon added, carrying the girls out of the room and back down the hall towards where the other kids were.
As they were carried in Toni saw all the rest of the kids had gathered around the espeon lady from earlier, or at least someone who looked similar since her hair was a different style, who was sitting in a chair with a book on her lap. A book Toni recognized as “Legendary Fables”, basically fairy tale like stories about various legendary pokemon. She had a copy herself and had read all of it a few times… so she wasn’t really paying attention to which story the espeon had picked out to read as Nana set her and Susan down, giving both girls an affectionate but demeaning head pat before heading off somewhere. Leaving Toni to pout and look around idly since she wasn’t interested in listing to a story she’d already heard being told to her… especially not with the silly “adult-to-baby” tone the older psychic was using.
“So she’s not an icky baby! She’s a cool baby!”
“Oh… she’s stilla baby though?”
“Uh huh… we can play house with her later!”
Toni let out a sigh and shrugged as she heard Susan whispering to her two girl posse about what she’d been told. Apparently knowing about 3P was enough for them to accept her… though to be honest the idea of playing “House” with them was something she’d rather avoid. Playing it with Carrie was dignity destroying enough as it was. Just then Toni caught sight of a familiar large pair of twitching pink ears. Crawling over, she didn’t dare stand and draw too much attention to herself, she found her little nido friend from before who now sporting an equally bulgy padded bottom in preparation for nap time apparently.
Plopping down next to Ethan Toni smiled as he looked up… and smiled back at seeing her before happily hugging her. Toni hugged him back, glad she had something to do instead of listening to the story. She opened her mouth to whisper if he wanted to play… but the moment the hug stopped Ethan had resumed laying on his tummy, looking and listening to the espeon lady reading and utterly enraptured with the story. Pouting at seeing how engrossed her little friend was Toni realized she was out of options and reluctantly turned her attentions towards the espeon. Sulking as she listened to the tale of why people write wishes on tags and presented them to jirachi.
****************************
“Up… e go… ets ge… nap…”
“Mmm… mmm… bu Jirachi… I wished for a ponyta…”
Toni yawned as she squirmed, not sure what woke her up… or when she’d fallen asleep. “Oops, didn’t mean to wake you…” a familiar voice said as Toni realized somebody had been trying to pick her up which was what’d woke her “Ah well, like I said up we go. Lets get you onto a mat for nap time.” The voice said as Toni found herself hoisted up into the arms of… the sylveon from earlier! Suddenly everything came rushing back to Toni. She was still in this stupid daycare that thought she was a four year old and it’d been story time and… she’d…
The gothita’s face went bright red as she realized she must have dozed off in the middle of story time. Looking around she saw all the other little kids were being led off to various nap mats that’d been spread around the room, all of them still very much awake… which meant Toni had been the only one to doze off like a toddler where all the other little kids could see her. Her blush just got worse as Toni considered the implications of this and the fact all of these kids were less than half her real age… just as the sylveon checked her diaper making the redness of her cheeks spike up all the way to charmander levels.
“Dry and clean~ Looks like you can go straight to nap time without needing a change then~” the fairy type said, as if that was supposed to make it less embarrassing for Toni. The little gothita just blushed and fumed both at the humiliation and the idea of being woken up… just to be put down for a nap. She considered protesting but remembered Nana, time out, and the pacifier and decided to just pout for the moment instead. “Hope you don’t mind sharing, your little friend looks like he could use the company.” The sylveon said, snapping Toni out of her pouting to try and see what he was talking about.
Looking down she saw Ethan sitting on a nap mat… and looking absolutely, pitifully sad. The sylveon kneeled down and set her on the nap mat next to him letting her see the nido had a full big, teary eyed trembling lip puppy dog face going with drooping ears for added emphasis. “What’s wrong?” Toni asked as she scooted closer to Ethan, her issues with nap time completely forgotten as she was more concerned with her friend. Ethan didn’t say anything and just sniffled, but luckily the sylveon spoke up “He didn’t bring his favorite plushie today.” The fairy type explained, looking at the little nido sympathetically and giving him what was meant to be a reassuring head pat “He usually can’t sleep without it.”
With that the sylveon walked off leaving Toni alone with Ethan who didn’t look like the head pat had helped him feel better at all. Not knowing what else to do Toni wrapped her arms around the little poison type to try and give him a reassuring hug… as he promptly turned and snuggled her back tightly, resting his head on her chest. It too k her a moment to realize she’d just unknowingly volunteered to be his replacement plushie for the duration of the nap. Realizing she didn’t really have a choice here Toni sighed and looked around… as she realized the eeveelution caretakers were handing out blankets and laying the kids down on the nap mats.
Sure enough the sylveon came back carrying a blanket. Toni opted to lie down, taking Ethan with her since he was still snuggling her firmly, rather than have the fairy type try to coax her into doing it and further hurt what little pride the gothita had left. A moment later the blanket was spread over her and Ethan and lightly tucked around them to make the two comfortable. They were apparently close to the last kids to be put down too since the lights were turned off shortly afterwards leaving the room illuminated by nightlights and light coming from other parts of the building. Meaning it was dark but not dark enough to scare any of the little kids, perfect napping conditions.
And sure enough her little Nido friend was out just as quick as the lights and snoring softly. Apparently Toni made a good replacement plushie. Sighing and yawning softly the little gothita squirmed as much as she could without risking bothering Ethan as she got comfortable and rested her head on the mat. As she started to drift back off to sleep her mind wandered to wondering just how long she’d been in the daycare anyway… she’d forgotten how long her papa’s lecture was going to be, was he already looking for her? As she slipped off to dreamland her last thoughts were wondering when he’d come find her…

Story Trade
PCA – Associates Degree in PlaytimeIt was a bright, sunny day at the Viridian City Community College as the students hustled back and forth on the campus for various reasons like trying to make it to their classes, though one such mon looked very out of place next to all the young adult students and various teachers. Marie Antoinette Wendell, known as Toni to those she allowed to call her such, stood out since the little gothita looked like she would be more suited to learning her ABCs than being anywhere on a college campus. Or maybe learning the finer points of potty training since the slight crinkle as she walked was a tell-tale sign of the diapers the little psychic still wore.
She was on campus with her adopted father Professor Wendell the metang, who’d been invited to give a lecture in a mechanics class on campus. Since Toni had the day off and was considering what she wanted to do after she graduated from her high-school she’d come along to see the campus… or least that’s what she’d told her papa anyway. While it was partially true the little gothita had another goal in mind. She was hoping to meet Ms. Lorelei Bivalve, a teacher her papa had mentioned to her several times.
Ms. Bivalve was a cloyster woman and, at least from how papa described her, was an independent, assertive, and strong woman with a sly wit and cool demeanor. She taught marine biology at the college, went depth diving regularly, and was really popular with the students… not to mention she sounded like exactly the kind of woman Toni hoped to grow up to be. The main reason she’d come along with her papa to the college was in hopes of meeting her… which is why she kept craining her neck back and forth, scanning the halls for any sign of her, even as she followed her papa to the classroom for his lecture.
“Alright, here’s the classroom.” Professor Wendell said before smiling, as hard as it was with a metal face, at Toni who knew her papa well enough to be able to tell his otherwise hard to read expressions “Hope my lecture will keep your attention.” He added as he stepped into the room, through the open door Toni could see the class was already waiting. She pouted softly at the thought of trying to find a seat without somebody commenting on her looks… but before she could step inside her eyes caught sight of a grey, spikey, hinged shell attached to what looked like a shapely woman’s form just rounding the corner out of sight far, far down the hall. Any thoughts of listening to her papa’s lecture flew from Toni’s mind as she scurried down the hall as fast as her diaper would allow to try and catch up with what she hoped was Ms. Bivalve.
Crinkling and huffing a little as she turned the corner where she’d thought she saw the cloyster Toni couldn’t help but feel annoyed when she realized the hall was empty. Worse it had lots of doors on either side, all shut tight, meaning she’d have to try and open each one if she wanted to look inside due to being too small to see through the windows. How was she supposed to meet her idol now? As Toni stood there pouting she suddenly realized a shadow had fallen over her… but it was too late to do anything as a pair of big, red claws with black eyespots on them suddenly slipped under her arms and scooped her up.
“H-HEY!!!”
“Pipe down, lets get you back to that daycare… why you brats keep sneaking over here I’ll never know.”
As she was handled like a squirming sack of potatoes Toni could see she’d been scooped up by an annoyed looking Scizor wearing a security guards uniform… as the bug type tucked her under his arm and started carrying her down the hall. “P-P-Put me down!” she squealed, realizing being held like this made her diapers obvious as she struggled in futile rage her face red with shame and embarrassment. “I’m fourteen! You can’t do this! I said put me down you… you… meanie!!!” she yelled, too embarrassed and upset to think up anything better. Meanwhile the bug-type just seemed to have completely tuned her out as he mumbled.
“Yeah, yeah keep your diapers on... this is your fault for sneaking over here, stupid brats…”
Toni soon found herself outside the building. She’d been reduced to sniffling and biting back tears and her cheeks were bright red at the indignity of being carried like this. “There, this is where you snuck out of right?” the scizor asked, suddenly swinging Toni around just fast enough to disorient her without being rough. He held her up under her armpits as she found herself looking up at what had to be a recently finished building. It was one story tall and brightly colored with a sign in the window that said “Fluffy Hugs Daycare” with a cute baby eevee pictured over the words. Not bothering to wait for her to answer the scizor tucked her back under his arm and pushed the door open, the attacked bell chiming softly, as Toni found herself in the familiar setting of a daycare.
There was a smell of baby powder and various baby products along with the general background ruckus of multiple children all making noises at once. Unfortunately due to how she was being carried Toni couldn’t see much more than a front desk with a sign in sheet, a little bell to ring for service, and the daycares rates & hours of operation. “HEY! GOT ANOTHER OF YOURS SNUCK INTO THE COLLEGE!” the scizor suddenly shouted, making Toni wince a little, as the sound of somebody scrambling came from the back room… followed by a young adult sylveon guy wearing normal clothes and an apron nearly falling over the toddler gate put up in the doorway as he rushed to get to the desk,
“Another one?” he asked, his tone and expression showing he was obviously more annoyed then surprised by this “Sorry, here let me take her off your hands.” He said, holding his paws out to take Toni from the Scizor. She tried to struggle and protest at this… but it was cut short by how roughly she was shoved into the fairy types hands followed by the scizor promptly turning and leaving without another word. “That’s’ five minutes in the naughty corner for sneaking out little lady.” The sylveon said, using that patronizing adult-to-kindergartner tone Toni hated “Then after you’ve thought about what you’ve done we’ll get you back with the other little ones… but first lets see if you need a change.”
“I’m notta baby! I shouldn’t even be here! Let me GO!” Toni protested, struggling in the sylveon’s grasp… before she squeaked in embarrassment as her skirt was flipped up and her diaper checked. “Yep, we got a soggy little one here.” The fairy type declared for the entire world to hear as Toni once again blushed bright red in shame, temporarily silenced by her embarrassment. She must have wet them out of embarrassment when the scizor was hauling her around. Either way she found herself in a much gentler cradle more suited to handling a baby, or in this case a baby shaped teen, as the sylveon stepped over the toddler gate and into the back room.
With her chin resting on the eeveelutions shoulder and the rest of her held in a struggle proof cradle Toni was forced to just pout and watch while being unable to see where they were going. She saw a typical daycare… colorful carpet to keep kids from hurting themselves when they fell, littered with toys, a cutesy wallpaper design, cubby holes for the older kids things, what looked like a doorway to the nursery section, and of course plenty of mon the age she looked and younger happily playing as an espeon lady dressed the same as the sylveon tried to maintain the barest semblance of order. Nothing Toni hadn’t seen before since this wasn’t the first time she’d been drafted into a daycare like this.
“Hey Ma! Got another little jail-breaker here that got over to the college! She needs a fresh diaper before her time out, think you can handle it? Please?” The sylveon asked, talking to somebody Toni couldn’t see. “Still too skittish to change diapers huh fluffy?” someone said, the voice a deep woman’s and having a playful tone as Toni could feel the sylveon blush before he let out a whine that seemed more suited for the kids he was supposed to be watching “Don’t call me that in front of the kids Ma!” Suddenly Toni was lifted up and exchanged between hands as the woman’s voice chided her son “Go help your siblings then, Arceus knows I changed all nine of your diapers long enough another one won’t hurt.”
As Toni watched the fairy type turn and walk off she found herself being turned around to look up into the deep eyes of a tall, for her species anyway, and rather plump Flareon woman. She had the look of an experienced mother and an air of authority around her… which wasn’t about to stop Toni from demanding to be put down and saying her Papa would hear about this. What DID stop her though was another diaper check followed by a pat and being snuggled to the flareon’s chest “You are a soggy baby~ We’ll lets get you aaaaaaall nice and dry then~ Yes we will~” the tone was cooing, patronizing, and sweet to the point of being sickening as Toni was left too aghast to protest.
She found herself whisked over to a changing table in the corner of the room, laid down, and her skirt flipped up out of the way so far she had to take a minute to process what had happened. By then her diaper had already been untapped and removed, exposing the little gothita to the cool air which made her squeak in surprise. The cold baby wipes that followed made her squeak again and squirm. The stupid flareon’s constant cooing and baby-talk just made the whole thing even worse. Not once was she silent even as she cleaned, applied rash cream, oiled, and powdered Toni’s bottom all the while cooing about what a cute little girl Toni was and how she shouldn’t have snuck over to the “Big Kids” school.
By the time the new diaper was taped up Toni was too focused on biting her lip to keep from crying in embarrassment to care it was thicker than her previous one and would definitely stick out under her skirt. Her cheeks felt like they were on fire with blush and she was about ready to start screaming in frustration. “Now then, five minutes in the naughty corner to think about what you’ve done and then you can go play with your friends~ Alright little one~?” the flareon cooed to her as she scooped the gothita off he changing table and rubbed noses with her.
“I told you! I shouldn’t be here!!”
“Now now, no fussing.”
“I’m not a baby!!”
“I never said you were dear, now behave or else.”
“LET ME GO!!”
Suddenly a pacifier was popped into Toni’s mouth mid shout, silencing her, as the Flareon held the little psychic up so they were looking each other in the eye. “Little one, behave or I’ll put you over my knee for a quick spanking before your corner time and believe me neither of us want that.” The flareon said, her voice having gone from cooing to stern and firm so a toddler could tell she meant business by the tone if not the words themselves. Toni’s cheeks immediately flushed pink as she pictured being spanked in front of all this kids who were less than half her age. The sheer embarrassment would be too much! Any thoughts of fighting this horrible, horrible mix-up died in her as she whimpered and pouted, going limp in the flareon’s arms.
‘That’s a good girl, now…” the flareon carried her over to a little stool set in the corner with a marked off area “If you behave and stay in the time-out corner to think about what you’ve done then in five minutes you’ll get to go play again, okay~?” her tone was gentle as she set Toni down and pointed to a little timer hung on the wall “When this rings me or another grown-up will come get you and then you can go play, but you have to stay right here till then~” with that she pushed Toni so the little gothita found herself plopped down on the tool with a crinkle before being turned to face the corner. She heard the time being wound and start ticking before the flareon patted her head gently “Behave little one~” and padded off to leave Toni to her punishment.
The moment she was sure the flareon was gone Toni let the pacifier slip out of her mouth and fall to her lap. Toni’s thoughts were racing a mile a minute as her cheeks still glowed. “This is so humiliating… how did I let things go this overboard!?” she thought, blushing more and pouting “When will I learn that this kind of situation always happens when I wander off on my own…” she sulked… before blushing more and looking at her feet as she realized she had kinda betrayed her papa’s trust with that stunt and not telling him why she wanted to come along. All she could hope is he’d come find her soon and not be too upset…
Till then all she could do was sit and wait for her time out to be over.
***************************
Finally the timer dinged and Toni found herself being scooped up “There we are, now are you going to be a good girl~?” the flareon asked as she snuggled Toni, the gothita blushing and nodding before timidly speaking up “Y-yes ma’am… but no more pacifiers… please?” she said in a pleading tone that made her blush that much harder. Fortunately the flareon gave her a warm, doting smile that told Toni it’d worked “Well aren’t you well-spoken for your age~” she cooed, scooping the pacifier off of Toni’s lap where it’d manage to remain and pocketing it “And of course sweetie~ As long as you stay a good girl at least… also call me Nana~” she added, giving Toni’s head a warm but patronizing kiss that made the tiny psychic blush that much harder.
“Now then, I think it’s time you got back to playing~” the flareon said as she carried Toni over to where she’d seen the espeon lady earlier before setting the little girl down on her feet, Toni blushing even more when she realized the diaper she’d been put into splayed her legs out in a cute waddle, and giving Toni a pat on her padded bottom in the direction of where the other kids (who all looked to be between the ages of 3 and 5) were. “Now, go play~” the lady cooed as the pat made Toni taking several waddling steps forward, crinkling as she went and barely managing to keep her balance. The little gothita whined softly in embarrassment at the idea of being made to play with kids less than half her age… but a small part of her was relieved it was pre-schoolers and she wasn’t being sentenced to the nursery with the babies and toddlers…
“Nana! What’s da baby doing here!?”
Looking up for the source of the voice Toni saw a little, though probably taller than her by a few inches, misdreavus girl floating over to them. She was wearing a simple short sleeved sundress, socks & shoes, and had her hair held back by an Alice band… she also was in either pull-ups or big girl panties judging by the fact she had her legs together. Her face was in a pouty look of contempt at the idea of sharing her play area with a “Baby”… in this case Toni. “Now Susan, just because she’s having a little trouble with potty training doesn’t make her a baby…” the flareon chided as the little girl just puffed her cheeks out and shook her head “Nu!” she demanded, sounding like the kind of kid who always got her way “She’s a baby! Only baby’s wear diapers!” she declared.
Toni would have rolled her eyes even as she blushed, annoyed but willing to ignore the spoiled little ghost since this was pretty much the same as when Nicky teased her about being diapered (though the little girl had a better excuse for being uncreative with the insults). That was until Nana patted her shoulder and said “Why don’t you introduce yourself and tell Susan how old you are sweetie? So she’ll know you’re not a baby~” the flareon cooed as Toni blushed but responded before she could stop herself “I’m Toni and I’m fourt…” Toni hung up on the word fourteen since she realized they’d just accuse her of fibbing. Should she even bother to try and tell the truth at this point?
“See? Toni’s four years old so she’s a big girl, just a year younger then you~” Nana said, taking Toni’s hang-up to mean she’d said she was four, as the flareon smiled encouragingly to Susan. The little ghost just pouted and folded her arms “… she’s a baby! Just a dumb baby!” she declared once more before sticking her tongue out at Toni and floating off towards a treecko and spearow girl who were waiting for her to rejoin their teaparty. Toni meanwhile just blushed and pouted at being called a four year old… she just kept digging herself in deeper here.
“Sorry about that dear, Susan likes to brag about being a big girl is all… now why don’t you go play till snack time, okay~” Nana cooed, giving Toni’s padded bottom another firm pat and sending her toddling further into the play area. Toni blushed and struggled to keep her balance as she watched the flareon pad off to some other part of the daycare, meaning the little gothita really was stuck here. Sighing Toni started to look around, trying to find something to do to pass the time other than standing there pouting… especially since the toddler gate on the only door she could escape from was way too high for her to get over before she’d be caught.
Glancing around the room the first thing she saw was a little plastic table made for little kids and covered with various crayons, coloring books, and everything the kids would need to scribble with… which several little kids were happily doing, not a one of them really managing to stay in the lines either from what Toni could see. She immediately decided against trying that. She’d stand out too much since she couldn’t scribble as messily as the real kids. Last thing she wanted was to end up being the center of attention again just because she colored in the lines enough for one of the caretakers to decide to show her work off… like last time.
Next thing she saw was what was probably the “Girly” corner with the dolls, little plastic kitchen, and the ghost brat from earlier having a tea party with her posse. It didn’t take a second for Toni to write that one off. The little brats would either whine at her for being there, try and talk down to her, or make juvenile attempts at teasing her. She dealt with the last two regularly enough from Nicky, so she’d just as soon not get it from actual little kids. Noticing Susan glaring at her for so much as staring at the trio for this long Toni rolled her eyes and resumed searching for what to do.
Next thing she saw was a bunch of kids playing with various shaped blocks, trying to build cities and other structures… but mostly just stacking them on top of each other. Suddenly a memory stirred from somewhere deep in Toni’s mind, of back when she was actually a toddler. She’d been playing with blocks and trying to stack them… but no matter how much she tried she’d never managed to make a tower taller than her knees without it collapsing. Cheeks flushed with shame and embarrassment as though this’d just happened instead of being years ago the little gothita turned on her heels and walked off to look for something else to do. There had to be SOMETHING that was, if nothing else, less demeaning then the other choices around here…
Suddenly the sound of a bouncing rubber ball caught her attention as she realized she’d ended up right next to a kid playing by himself. It was a little nidoran boy wearing just a pair of overalls with what looked to be pull-ups peeking up from under them. He looked like he’d just become old enough to leave the nursery and play with the big kids… and was probably having to play alone due to brats like Susan. He was currently sitting on his bottom and bouncing a rubber ball off a nearby wall. He caught it and was about to bounce it again but abruptly stopped as his oversized ears, even by nido standards, twitched up to attention. Hugging the ball close he timidly turned to look at Toni. His face adorable, chubby cheeked, and incredibly shy as if he was scared the stranger would take his toy away. His ears drooped a little as he managed to squeak out a timid…
“W-wanna p-pway?”
*****************
The little boy’s, he hadn’t told Toni his name yet, shyness was long gone as he giggled, clapped, and squeaked in awe as he watched Toni lightly slipped her foot under the ball and rolled it so she was balancing it there, her padded butt crinkling the whole while. After a moment of balancing it Toni started to bounce it lightly in the air and do kick-ups with it. The extra padding around her middle was making it more difficult than usual as she was counting them off… seven, eight, nine, ten. And it looked that was her limit as she finally lost her balance and ended up on her bottom, the ball bouncing off the ground once before she caught it. Without the extra thick padding she could have kept it going… but judging from the little nido’s reaction she might as well have flown through the air on a rainbow. He was utterly awed by her little stunt, looking up to her with wide eyes and a big smile as Toni blushed and giggled a little before lightly bouncing the ball back to him.
Suddenly Toni felt someone lightly lifting her up with one hand and patting her diaper with the other, check to see if she was wet or messy. Toni’s cheeks flushed red and puffed out at this indignity as she pouted her lips and was ready to turn around and yell at whoever just did that… till she remembered the flareon lady, the pacifier, and the time out corner. Biting down her tantrum she settled for sulking… sides, if she was put in time out again her playmate would probably be lonely. “All dry and clean~” the diaper checker said, revealing himself to be a young adult umbreon who was smiling down patronizingly at Toni “Good girl~” he praised her in an even more patronizing way.
That nearly tore Toni’s resolve to avoid getting in trouble but luckily he turned away from her letting her force her temper under control “Do you need to go potty Ethan?” he asked the little nido, who just shook his head innocently. Toni momentarily wondered if the kid could even pronounce his own name yet as she watched the umbreon check to make sure Ethan hadn’t had any accidents. Once he was satisfied they were both dry and clean he lifted them up to their feet “Come on you two~ Time to line up for Snack Time~” he said in that sing-song tone you used for kids the age they assumed Toni was as the gothita found herself being reluctantly led to the center of the room where the other kids were being lined up.
Being shepherded into the line, or as close as you could get to a line with a bunch of pre-school kids, Toni felt a tug on the back of her shirt and found Ethan was there clinging to her. She opted not to upset the little mon and just let him do this as the line started moving. Being moved along she saw they were entering a large kitchen/dining room area with a few tables… one of which sporting lots of highchairs and booster seats, most full of various babies and toddlers as the flareon from earlier was getting help from the sylveon to feed all of them. Luckily they were led to the other tables, all of which were set low and had the plastic chairs that were designed for little kids stationed at them.
The line broke apart slowly as the umbreon, with help from the espeon lady Toni had seen earlier, worked to get all of the kids seated. Ignoring the patronizing as she was led to a chair and seated by the two Toni just looked around at all the fidgeting, impatient, and excited kids. Ethan was seated on her left, which was fine by her… but Susan and her little posse were seated across from them and kept giving Toni glares. The tiny teen just did her best to ignore them as she looked away, idly wondered what the snack they were going to be given was.
Suddenly a black furred paw blocked Toni’s vision as a little plate, one of those ones for little kids made to look like a feral with little added circles attached to be the eyes or ears, was set in front of her with several carrot sticks and a dab of mayo on it. Apparently this was their snack for the day and, judging by the reaction from the other kids as they each received their plates, most of them were still in the “Veggies are icky” state of mind. Toni meanwhile honestly didn’t have an opinion either way as she started to eat without a fuss… which was apparently the wrong move to make in this case.
“Eeeeeeeeeeeewwwww!” the treecko and spearow that made up Susan’s posse said in disgust, looking at Toni as if she’d just eaten a live caterpie. Toni tried to just ignore them but the little ghost decided to capitalize on the situation as she gave a smug grin “See! She’s a baby!” she declared, pointing at Toni “She’s used ta eating baby food and mushy peas so that’s why she’s eating yucky veggies!” she stated, smirking as if she’d just come up with the best insult in the world. Toni meanwhile was unbothered by the little girls attempt at reasoning and just looked away and continued eating, ignoring Susan completely. Which was again apparently the wrong thing to do.
SPLAT! Suddenly a big glob of mayo landed on the front of Toni’s shirt surprising her. Upon hearing giggles her head immediately snapped up to find Susan had used one of the carrot stick to fling it at her and the little ghost was currently sitting there looking quite smug about it. Feeling her cheeks glow red Toni was about to give the little brat the telling off she had coming… but Susan suddenly cut her off by shouting to the nearby umbreon to get his attention “Tha baby dribbled on her clothes!” she shouted as Toni sat there furious, embarrassed, and a little surprised the brat had thought out this far ahead. “Well…” the umbreon said, kneeling down to Toni and using some paper towel he’d grabbed for this to clean the mayo off her shirt “Lets get you a bib then little one…”
Toni was shocked, aghast, and even more furious then before as she puffed her cheeks out more then ready to give both the brat and the umbreon one hell of a screaming at. She suddenly saw the flareon from earlier eyeing her though with a stern, no-nonsense look that warned her not to make a fuss… further hammered home by the empty highchair she was standing next to that was more than big enough to fit Toni. Having no other choice the gothita bit down and was forced to bottle her rage as the umbreon came back and fastened a bib around her neck, Susan giggling triumphantly the whole while. Not even the sippie cup of juice that was set next to her to go with the snack could darken Toni’s mood any further after this.
Soon enough snack time was over and the kids were lined up to go back to the playroom, the umbreon removing Toni’s bib as he ushered her into line… not that it helped Toni’s mood any. Between the suppressed anger, the humiliation, and so many other things the little gothita was too busy sulking and fuming at the injustice of it all to really notice anything. She just plopped down on her diapered bottom in the middle of the playroom, crossed her arms, and pouted like the four year old they though she was. Several minutes passed, though she couldn’t be sure since she didn’t bother to look for a clock to check, before Toni finally stopped sulking enough to realize something…
Nobody was teasing or laughing at her. For some reason Susan and her posse hadn’t bothered her any… which didn’t make any sense. Whenever Nicky got away with something he always made sure to gloat and rub it in Toni’s face… and since they were both spoiled little brats Susan would probably be the same. Looking around the playroom Toni finally realized the little ghost girl was nowhere to be seen. Her posse was back in the girly corner looking glum but she couldn’t see Susan anywhere… did she get picked up early or something? Not that she minded not having to deal with her… but Toni couldn’t help but be confused, curious, and a bit annoyed at the ghost types sudden disappearing act.
Which is why her response to someone tapping on her shoulder turned into an annoyed sounding “What do you want?” as she looked to see which kid was bugging her this time… and found herself craning her neck up a little to see who it was. It was an eevee boy who was probably a little less than half a foot or so taller than her, though since she was still sitting down he towered over her, looking down at Toni with an annoyed expression. He had a babyish, cherubic face, chubby, slightly odd proportioned body, and just general childish looks that made it very hard to place his age. Though the cute, clefable curl of hair on his forehead, much like Toni’s own curl, immediately made her realize he was probably the eevee the cartoonish logo on the daycare sign was based on, though a little older looking and sporting a t shirt, cargo shorts, socks, and sneakers as opposed to just a diaper like the sign baby.
More than that though Toni couldn’t shake the feeling she’d seen him before and quite recently too… but she just couldn’t quite place where or when as she mumbled out a confused “Have we met before?” The eevee just snorted and nodded and grunted out “Yeah.” in a voice that sounded a little too deep to be a proper little kids but nowhere close enough to be much older than that. “Come on, get up.” he said, tugging Toni up onto her feet by her hands “Mama wants to talk to you.” being his only words of explanation to the confused girl as he started to tug her off in some direction… as Toni sputtered in surprise and protest before realizing something.
The sound of diapers crinkling with each step was way too loud to just be hers no matter how thick it was. Immediately glancing down Toni’s sharp eyes picked out all the tell-tale signs that the eevee was sporting a thick diaper under his shorts… the bulgy butt, slight waddling steps, crinkle at each motions, the odd way his shorts fit… he was definitely diapered. Still she couldn’t fight her reflex as she looked up, still being more dragged along then anything, at his face and asked in a hushed tone “Are you wearing diapers?” since she was used to talking about this particular subject in secret to make sure others don’t overhear. She made sure to keep her eyes focused on his head and face as she waited for his answer.
“Yep, I am.” Was his incredibly blunt answer, his tone one of simple annoyance “Now come on, I’m not gonna drag you the whole way and I’m not gonna carry you so walk.” He said giving Toni’s arm another tug as the gothita reluctantly started toddling along as he led her. “So… remind me where we met again?” she asked, focusing on that and the odd comment he’d made now that the diaper question was out of the way “And by Mama you mean the flareon, right?” she added, assuming he was one of her kids. The eevee didn’t bother to look back to address her as he led Toni across the playroom “Yeah, the flareons my mom…” he answered “and I saw you when I was taking a tour of the PCA trying to decide if I wanted to transfer schools.”
That was enough of a reminder for Toni to finally recall where she’d seen him before as the memory flashed into her mind. It’d been a few days ago when she’d been walking down the halls of the PCA… the eevee had passed by her with a glaceon woman and a teacher leading them. She distinctly remembered that since she noticed the clefable like forehead curl he had. It was like hers and looked really odd on an eevee. But this also meant he knew she wasn’t a little kid! Usually she was against asking this kind of favors from people or getting others to speak up for her but Toni honestly couldn’t see any other options at the moment…
“Could you please tell them” she started to say, only to be cut off by the eevee with a blunt “Nope. I won’t.” that left Toni stunned. “Besides, they wouldn’t believe me even if I tried to tell them you weren’t a little kid.” he explained, still not bothering to even look at Toni as the little gothita puffed her cheeks and lips out in a pout before mumbling a barely audible “Why’s it so hard to believe?” The eevee’s long ears twitched, apparently hearing Toni’s comment clear as day, as he finally glanced back at her with an eyebrow lifted look of disbelief. “Seriously?” he asked in a tone that made Toni blush, pout even worse, and give a glare that should have pierced straight through the eevee’s head.
Ignoring the eye-daggers stabbing into him he resumed leading her along before suddenly stopping at a closed door and putting one long ear to it. “Anyway, dunno what Mama wants you for…” he said, though whether he was talking to Toni or just mumbling to himself was hard to tell “But it probably has to do with whatever got that brat ghost girl put in time-out.” Toni blinked at hearing that and she couldn’t help but blurt "...wait, what? Didn't that brat get away with her prank?" The eevee didn’t answer as he finally opened the door and dragged her inside.
Toni found herself in what was probably the daycares equivalent to a nurse’s office since it was stocked to handle everything from diaper changes to bandaging owies. The flareon was there, though what she was doing Toni couldn’t tell, and as she turned to face them the eevee underwent a startling change. His stoic, grumpy face broke out into a cherubic, innocent looking smile as he greeted the flareon with “Hi Mama! I brought the girl you wanted to see!” in a tone that lacked the annoyed, surliness he’d been addressing Toni with making him sound… for lack of a better term… young and cute.
Toni just stared at the eevee and the sudden change in his demeanor, her raised eyebrow and incredulous look something no real four year old could manage, as the flareon padded over to them. “Thank you Fluffles~” she cooed, kneeling down to rub her son’s head affectionately as he giggled… before eeping as she pulled him into a hug and patted his bottom, a move Toni recognized as a diaper check. “Still dry and clean~ That’s mommy’s little mon~” the flareon cooed before kissing the eevee’s head, gently turning him around, the normal type’s cheeks bright pink with blush at this point, and giving him a butt pat in the direction of the door “Now why don’t you get back to the nursery and help your sister~” she said as the blushing eevee needed no further prodding to waddle out of the room leaving Toni alone with the fire type.
There was silence for a moment before Toni asked “… what was all that?” since she was still stunned by the eevee’s sudden personality shift. "Oh just me talking to my son is all.” the flareon said as she smiled down at the gothita “Now then sweetie I have something important to tell you~". Toni was about to comment that the little display the eevee put on was going to be hard to ignore and ask what the important thing the flareon wanted to tell her was… but she was cut off before she could begin as the fire type scooped her up. Toni blushed furiously as she was snuggled in the flareon’s arms, her head resting on the woman’s shoulder as the fire type rubbed her back gently.
“I’d like to say I’m sorry for not punishing Susan right when she pulled that mean prank on you~” the flareon said gently, getting Toni’s attention. “You see, if I’d come over and punished her for it then Susan would have thrown a biiiiiiig tantrum” the flareon was using her tone to try and get the meaning of what she was saying across just in case Toni was “Too little” to understand some of the words “And it would have upset all the little ones there… so I had to wait till after snack time when I could talk to her by herself. She’s in time out now for being a meanie and bullying you~” the fire type explained, lightly nuzzling Toni’s head as she coddled her.
Toni, who’d probably blushed through a whole spectrum of colors during all that cooing and coddling, pouted softly but nodded since Nana’s reasoning made sense. Sighing she said “Fine…” and was about to admit that what the flareon did was reasonable, but the woman once again took advantage of Toni’s pause to cut the little girl off “So to make it up to you I’ve got a little treat for you~!” she cooed, in the kind of tone adults use to get little kids excited about something. Toni pouted even worse at being interrupted again… the promise of a treat had her a little curious but she WASN’T like a certain diapered teddy bear friend of hers. She couldn’t be bought off with snacks and she was STILL very annoyed at the flareon.
“Here you go sweetie~” Nana said as she produced a small, though large enough compared to Toni to be worthwhile, lollipop and handed it to the gothtita “Hope this makes up for it~” she added unwrapped the sweet for Toni before the girl could make an attempt at doing it herself. Toni just sighed in acceptance and popped the candy in her mouth to suck on it, managing a weak smile when she realized the lollipop was at least a flavor she really liked. She risked thinking that maybe things would get better from here on in… which as optimistic as it sounded didn’t last a minute as Toni found herself resting on the flareon’s shoulder while the fire type checked her diaper and loudly announced the results.
“Looks like you need another change sweetie~ Lets get you sorted out~”
Toni’s cheeks flared red as she realized she must have had an accident sometime during all this and not realized it. She mentally blamed this daycare and the workers in it but that didn’t do anything to make the reality less embarrassing. She let out a weak whimper as Nana laid her on the changing table of the room, which was equipped and large enough to handle two giant babies Toni idly noticed, and stroked her head reassuringly before popping the tapes on the gothita’s diaper. Toni was once again subjected to the merciless baby-talk and cooing as the flareon cleaned her bottom till Toni was fairly certain her butt was squeaky clean enough to shine… but that meant the ordeal was half over with at least.
Or it would have been had the door to the room not opened and the sylveon from earlier come in, carrying a familiar little ghost who was squirming in his arms. Toni immediately moved to cover herself as she glared at the ghost who seemed too preoccupied trying to squirm free to do more than spare a brief glare back. “Hey Ma? Susan’s time out is done but since it’s almost nap time… well…” the sylveon said, giving his flareon mother a bashful look as she let out a light, good natured huff and smiled at him “You want me to get her into her nap undies after all the ruckus she cause last time you tried, right?” She said, giving him a knowing look as her son blushed and nodded sheepishly before handing the ghost over. Nana took it in stride though, chuckling softly as she cuddled Susan with one arm and shooed her son off like a kindergartner being told to go play with the other. He needed no further coaxing and quickly left.
Toni meanwhile was blushing furiously as she covered her now squeaky clean dignity with both hands. Her lips stuck out in a furious pout as she glared at the little ghost squirming in Nana’s arms. The only thing on Toni’s mind being anger at the impertinence of the sylveon bringing Susan here during her most embarrassing moment… at least until it gave way to confusion as Nana laid Susan down next to Toni and got to work stripping the ghost girl’s lower clothing away till she was as exposed as Toni.
Looking at the ghost girl in confusion Toni saw Susan’s face was red cheeked in embarrassment as she bit her lip, eyes teary with shame… which probably wasn’t helped by Nana talking about how she used to have to change the twin’s diapers at the same time while getting out the supplies needed to finish diapering both girls. For a brief moment thoughts like “Ha! Not so big now are you?” and “Why does she have to diaper the brat here, now, with me?” crossed Toni’s mind… before being replaced with pity. Unlike a certain larvitar nuisance Susan WAS too little to know better, so her behavior was much more excusable. That and Toni was too well acquainted with the embarrassment of needing diapers to ignore seeing it on a child like this.
Her thoughts immediately turned to what to do and just as quickly she scratched off showing pity or trying to make the ghost girl laugh since Susan seemed more like she’d launch into a tantrum at those then calm down any. It actually looked like the only reason Susan wasn’t already kicking and screaming was because Nana was changing her and probably wouldn’t hesitate to discipline the ghost if she did. Which meant Toni could only really think of one thing to do… try to distract Susan from the diaper change somehow, maybe with conversation…
"...hey brat, uh, Susan, do you like cartoons?" Toni asked as Susan just pouted more and mumbled "... not gonna talk tu a stupid baby..." in response as Nana worked to prep both girls for their coming diapers. "Huh, thought you would like to know a secret about Joan d'Arthur...” Toni said, referencing her favorite character from the Petite Poke Pony series “Then again you don't seem to know who I am talking about." She added, hiding the slightly sly tone to her voice. This was an old trick but Susan was probably not old enough to realize she was being baited so it just might work…
"... what secret?"
Hook, line, and sinker~ Toni didn’t bother to hide her slight smile at this as she casually replied "...forget it, you don't know Joan~" Which got an immediate response as Susan sat up a bit to glare at Toni even as Nana gently eased the ghost girl back down onto the table "Yeah I do you stupid baby! She's da bestest!" she protested, embarrassment at the diaper change replaced by childish annoyance towards the gothita girl. Just like Toni had been hoping.
"Second best~ her teacher Pallas is the only master fencer...after all, Joan still doesn't have her secret of the sword~"
It was probably an unfair jab since Toni was older and could remember more about the fandom, but she couldn’t help herself with that last comment. Especially when it got Susan to make an adorable dumbstruck look before blushing and pouting as she folded her arms and looked away "... so... she's still da bestest pony..." she shot back, using classic little kid logic. Toni was grinning now as she waited a moment to properly build the tension for her next comment, leaving the room quiet save the soft shaking noises of the powder Nana was using on the girls. Finally Toni spoke up.
"...aaand~ she might find out her secret soon~"
There was a brief pause before Susan sat bolt upright, an awed look of disbelief on her face as she blurted out “She will!?” only to have the flareon place her paw on the ghost girl’s chest and again ease her back down onto the changing table “Sit back down dear, I’m not done yet~” she said while chuckling softly as Susan blushed and mumbled a weak “Sowwie Nana…” Toni meanwhile tried not to giggle at this as she smiled and waited for Susan to be laid back down before continuing. "Do you know about the movie that premieres next week?" she asked, as Susan nodded eagerly and answered "Yeah huh! Mommy and daddy promised tu take me tu it!"
The movie in question was “Petite Poke Pony: Blade of the Beautiful Bonds”, the latest and biggest movie for the series and due to come out very soon. It was supposed to feature the heroines of the series fighting against the evil witch queen Malivula to stop her invasion of their home, Paradaisy. A lot of fans of the series and little girls were looking forward to it "Well, I have been a good girl, so my papa pre-ordered the tickets” Toni said, falling neatly into both categories, before continuing “and as preorder bonus I got access to a special trailer...want to hear about it?"
“YES!!” Susan shouted eagerly… before both girls squeaked in surprise as Nana somehow managed to lift them both by their ankles at once and slip the diapers under their bottoms. After a moment Toni tried to shake off her surprise and try to remember the exact wording the trailer had used. "The secret of the sword must remain a secret. Only by seeing it you can understand its meaning. When the Combing Blade glitters like a prism, it will cast light upon the truth... that's pretty much what it said." She said before glancing over to Susan… and seeing from the ghost girls expression she might as well have tried to quote algebra to the five year old for how much Susan had grasped.
"I think it was a spell or something like that” Toni explained before adding “anyway Joan was wearing a never before seen battle dress.” Susan looked like she was considering this for a moment before she spoke up with a question "... was it pretty?" which made Toni giggle and grin "Pretty? It was even better than the one from the last movie!” the gothita said excitedly “This one is a glass-like silver with purple ribbons and gold buttons plus a bunch of pearly pink bows around and a big yellow ribbon keeping her tail in a braid, she was also wearing diamond horseshoes!"
Susan let out a little squeal of excitement at the description… just as Nana finished taping the fresh diapers up snuggly onto the girls. Patting the diapers as if to signal she was done Nana gave the two a warm smile before scooping them up and nuzzling their heads. "Well~ I'm glad you two have become friends~” she said, sounding very happy the two had worked out their differences “Now lets get you to story time~" the flareon added, carrying the girls out of the room and back down the hall towards where the other kids were.
As they were carried in Toni saw all the rest of the kids had gathered around the espeon lady from earlier, or at least someone who looked similar since her hair was a different style, who was sitting in a chair with a book on her lap. A book Toni recognized as “Legendary Fables”, basically fairy tale like stories about various legendary pokemon. She had a copy herself and had read all of it a few times… so she wasn’t really paying attention to which story the espeon had picked out to read as Nana set her and Susan down, giving both girls an affectionate but demeaning head pat before heading off somewhere. Leaving Toni to pout and look around idly since she wasn’t interested in listing to a story she’d already heard being told to her… especially not with the silly “adult-to-baby” tone the older psychic was using.
“So she’s not an icky baby! She’s a cool baby!”
“Oh… she’s stilla baby though?”
“Uh huh… we can play house with her later!”
Toni let out a sigh and shrugged as she heard Susan whispering to her two girl posse about what she’d been told. Apparently knowing about 3P was enough for them to accept her… though to be honest the idea of playing “House” with them was something she’d rather avoid. Playing it with Carrie was dignity destroying enough as it was. Just then Toni caught sight of a familiar large pair of twitching pink ears. Crawling over, she didn’t dare stand and draw too much attention to herself, she found her little nido friend from before who now sporting an equally bulgy padded bottom in preparation for nap time apparently.
Plopping down next to Ethan Toni smiled as he looked up… and smiled back at seeing her before happily hugging her. Toni hugged him back, glad she had something to do instead of listening to the story. She opened her mouth to whisper if he wanted to play… but the moment the hug stopped Ethan had resumed laying on his tummy, looking and listening to the espeon lady reading and utterly enraptured with the story. Pouting at seeing how engrossed her little friend was Toni realized she was out of options and reluctantly turned her attentions towards the espeon. Sulking as she listened to the tale of why people write wishes on tags and presented them to jirachi.
****************************
“Up… e go… ets ge… nap…”
“Mmm… mmm… bu Jirachi… I wished for a ponyta…”
Toni yawned as she squirmed, not sure what woke her up… or when she’d fallen asleep. “Oops, didn’t mean to wake you…” a familiar voice said as Toni realized somebody had been trying to pick her up which was what’d woke her “Ah well, like I said up we go. Lets get you onto a mat for nap time.” The voice said as Toni found herself hoisted up into the arms of… the sylveon from earlier! Suddenly everything came rushing back to Toni. She was still in this stupid daycare that thought she was a four year old and it’d been story time and… she’d…
The gothita’s face went bright red as she realized she must have dozed off in the middle of story time. Looking around she saw all the other little kids were being led off to various nap mats that’d been spread around the room, all of them still very much awake… which meant Toni had been the only one to doze off like a toddler where all the other little kids could see her. Her blush just got worse as Toni considered the implications of this and the fact all of these kids were less than half her real age… just as the sylveon checked her diaper making the redness of her cheeks spike up all the way to charmander levels.
“Dry and clean~ Looks like you can go straight to nap time without needing a change then~” the fairy type said, as if that was supposed to make it less embarrassing for Toni. The little gothita just blushed and fumed both at the humiliation and the idea of being woken up… just to be put down for a nap. She considered protesting but remembered Nana, time out, and the pacifier and decided to just pout for the moment instead. “Hope you don’t mind sharing, your little friend looks like he could use the company.” The sylveon said, snapping Toni out of her pouting to try and see what he was talking about.
Looking down she saw Ethan sitting on a nap mat… and looking absolutely, pitifully sad. The sylveon kneeled down and set her on the nap mat next to him letting her see the nido had a full big, teary eyed trembling lip puppy dog face going with drooping ears for added emphasis. “What’s wrong?” Toni asked as she scooted closer to Ethan, her issues with nap time completely forgotten as she was more concerned with her friend. Ethan didn’t say anything and just sniffled, but luckily the sylveon spoke up “He didn’t bring his favorite plushie today.” The fairy type explained, looking at the little nido sympathetically and giving him what was meant to be a reassuring head pat “He usually can’t sleep without it.”
With that the sylveon walked off leaving Toni alone with Ethan who didn’t look like the head pat had helped him feel better at all. Not knowing what else to do Toni wrapped her arms around the little poison type to try and give him a reassuring hug… as he promptly turned and snuggled her back tightly, resting his head on her chest. It too k her a moment to realize she’d just unknowingly volunteered to be his replacement plushie for the duration of the nap. Realizing she didn’t really have a choice here Toni sighed and looked around… as she realized the eeveelution caretakers were handing out blankets and laying the kids down on the nap mats.
Sure enough the sylveon came back carrying a blanket. Toni opted to lie down, taking Ethan with her since he was still snuggling her firmly, rather than have the fairy type try to coax her into doing it and further hurt what little pride the gothita had left. A moment later the blanket was spread over her and Ethan and lightly tucked around them to make the two comfortable. They were apparently close to the last kids to be put down too since the lights were turned off shortly afterwards leaving the room illuminated by nightlights and light coming from other parts of the building. Meaning it was dark but not dark enough to scare any of the little kids, perfect napping conditions.
And sure enough her little Nido friend was out just as quick as the lights and snoring softly. Apparently Toni made a good replacement plushie. Sighing and yawning softly the little gothita squirmed as much as she could without risking bothering Ethan as she got comfortable and rested her head on the mat. As she started to drift back off to sleep her mind wandered to wondering just how long she’d been in the daycare anyway… she’d forgotten how long her papa’s lecture was going to be, was he already looking for her? As she slipped off to dreamland her last thoughts were wondering when he’d come find her…

Toni stirred as she felt someone nudging her. Was it morning already? She whined and squirmed, wanting Jordan to let her sleep… as a semi-familiar female voice reached her ears “Easy there little one, it’s time to wake up~” Blinking her eyes open Toni wondered for a moment who this espeon lady in her room was… and where her bed had gone. As she was suddenly lifted up and saw the nap mat, complete with little nido whining and starting to wake up now that his plushie was gone, she’d been laying on memories of where she was at the moment came back to her. Toni sighed softly as she realized she was still stuck at the daycare… as the espeon’s hand moved to her diaper making it squish.
“Lets get you to the changing table before you get a rash~”
The espeon’s gently tone as she carried the little gothita just made the embarrassment worse for Toni as she blushed and shut her eyes tight. She should be used to this by now but it was still horribly embarrassing, especially when a stranger was doing the changing and cooing at her like a toddler. Toni just laid back, eyes still shut, as she let the espeon untape her diaper. Trying to tune the older psychic types cooing out… at least till she heard one sentence in particular “Now, lets get you all cleaned up and into fresh diapers, after all your daddy’s here to pick you up~” the espeon said casually as she worked to clean Toni’s bottom.
Meanwhile Toni’s brain turned over this sentence for a moment before it reached understanding and the little gothita’s eyes popped open with only the fact she was currently being held by her ankles keeping her from sitting up. Her papa had finally found her! She was going to get to leave this place! She felt an elated feeling of hope in her chest… abruptly followed by the realization she’d have to confess the reason all this happened to her papa. She gulped and fidgeted nervously at that thought, wondering how he’d react when she told him why she’d agreed to come with him in the first place…
“There we go~ Nice and snug~” the espeon said jarring Toni out of her thoughts. Toni blushed as she realized that the older psychic had finished the diaper change while the gothita had been distracted. Her blush just got worse as the espeon patted Toni’s freshly taped on diaper as she smiled down at the tiny teen “Now, lets take you to go see your daddy~” she said, scooping Toni up again and cuddling the girl so the gothita’s chin rested on the espeon’s shoulder. This let Toni get one last look at the play area and the other kids as she was carried off… the thoughts of if she should have said goodbye to Ethan or Susan joining her already overly crowded mind.
Unable to see where they were going do to how she was being held Toni just sulked and tried to straighten her thoughts out as they went through another doorway and down a brief hall. She noticed there were crayon drawn pictures framed on the wall and chairs set up along one side, reminding her of a few pediatrician waiting rooms she’d been in before. Suddenly the espeon stopped in her tracks startling Toni. Squirming the little gothita wondering what was going on… before she heard two voices. Both of which she recognized since one was Nana… and the other was her Papa!
“We apologize for this little mix up Mr. Wendell, a few of our older kids have taken to trying to sneak onto the college campus as a little game so when the security guard caught her he just assumed… I hope this didn’t cause you too much trouble.”
"Never mind, Mrs Märchen, I thank you for taking care of my daughter, Toni is normally well behaved but has the same weakness to curiosity that blissfully affects most children"
"Please, call me Demeter... and yes, as a mother I know all about children's innocent curiousity. As for Toni, I must say she is an absolutely charming little girl. Very well behaved like you mentioned. You must be very proud."
"To be honest I'm prouder of her curiosity than of her self discipline. The only thing I can pass down to my children and with which I can feel realized as a parent is teaching them to appreciate life and pursue happiness."
Toni could feel her cheeks burning red as she listened to what her papa was saying, guilt working to turn her expression into an apologetic puppy dog like pout that probably rivaled Ruby’s. “Looks like your daddy’s busy talking with my mom…” the espeon said, apparently unaware of the mental torment the little girl she was carrying was going through “You don’t want to interrupt their adult talk do you~? So why don’t you wait here till they’re done~” the older psychic cooed as she set Toni down on one of the chairs in the hallway… which, since it was made for an adult to sit in, had Toni’s legs sticking straight out as they weren’t long enough to for her knees to reach the chairs edge and hang over it. The pouting little gothita notice they were outside an office though the door was partially shut so she couldn’t see inside.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” the espeon asked, finally noticing Toni’s blush and guilty expression “It’s okay, your papa will be done talking in a few minutes…” she said, stroking Toni’s cheeks soothingly and trying to make her feel better. Which didn’t do much more then add to Toni’s embarrassment and make her blush harder. Seeing this the espeon opted to try to cuddled Toni close and rub her back and bottom… which would have gotten her yelled at if Toni was in a better mental state. “I needed to get back to the other kids…” the espeon mumbled as the older psychic bit her lip and looked around for what to do.
“But I can’t just leave you here unsupervised… and not so miserable… come on little one, what’s wrong?” she asked, nuzzling Toni before setting her back down in the chair and, upon seeing it hadn’t achieved anything but making the gothita blush harder, letting out a slight sigh. She looked down the hall as if hoping the answer would present itself… as her long ears suddenly perked up as she let out a happy sounding “Ah!” before suddenly padding off down the hall quickly and making Toni blink in surprise and look to see where she went. There was suddenly an adorable yip noise sounding like Rex or Ruby when somebody surprised then and the espeon came back… carrying the diapered, curly haired eevee from earlier who was now sporting an adorably annoyed pout.
“Siiis! Put me down! You know I hate it when you just pick me up like that!” he whined, making the tone of his voice go squeaky enough to pass for the age he looked, as he struggled in the espeon’s grip. “Relax baby bro~ I just need you to do me a favor, kay~?” the espeon said, snuggling the eevee in a way Toni recognized as the kind where the normal type might as well be going “Goo-goo Gaa-Gaa” for all the input he had in this decision. She’d been on the receiving end of that quite a few times herself.
Puffing his cheeks out in annoyance the eevee folded his arms and sulked, prompting the espeon to giggle and tickle his sides. “Oh don’t be like that Toddy~ I just want you to keep this little one company till her dad’s done talking with Mama~” the espeon cooed, while the eevee was too busy giggling and squirming from the tickles to argue. “D-dun call me dat!” he squeaked through the giggles. “Oooooh?” she cooed, smiling coyly “How about Toddle then? Or maybe I can call you by Mama’s nickname for you~ Would you like that Fluffles?” she teased, apparently an experienced big sister as “Fluffles” went red face from blush and whined.
“… only Mama gets tu call me dat…” he pouted as the espeon smiled gently and set him in the chair next to Toni. “I know baby bro~ Was just teasing you~” she cooed, stroking his head gently and making the eevee blush and let out a happy sounding puppy like whine as his tail swished a little. “This is my baby brother, he might be a grumpy puffy pants some time but he’s really nice and he’ll keep you company till your dad’s done.” The espeon said as she smiled to Toni, still stroking the eevee’s head “So you two play nice, okay~?” she added before getting up and leaving… leaving the eevee to pout and whine a little that the stroking stopped before realizing what he was doing and blushing furiously.
Toni meanwhile was just glad through all that her own brother never quite coddled her THAT badly… though the weird little display had taken her mind off her worries for a moment. By confusing her so badly she hadn’t been able to think about other stuff. Now her mind was buzzing with thoughts about the strange, diapered eevee currently sitting next to her who was supposedly her age or older. Toni wasn’t quite sure if she should speak up or what she’d even say if she did… so the little gothita just looked at her chubby legs and occasionally risked glancing at the eevee next to her while wondering if she should try to break the ice.
"... you gonna keep staring or are you going to say something?" the eevee said in an annoyed tone as he glanced over at Toni, breaking the silence before she could try. Toni huffed a little at the attitude the normal type was cocking "Can I talk to the sugary sweet momma's boy? That version of you seemed less coarse." she shot back in response, making the eevee blush furiously as he looked away and mumbled "Shut up, that's different." before sighing a little and eyeing her again "Whatever... how old are you anyway? I mean, really.”
"I was cut off in the middle of telling her I am fourteen, why do you ask?" Toni said, motioning towards the nearby office door, She could still hear her papa talking with the eevee mother but they’d quieted down enough she couldn’t make out what they were saying. The eevee looked her up and down for a moment before shrugging "Huh... four seems more believable." He commented, earning him a glare from Toni as he sighed "Chill, would you believe me if I told you I was 16?" he commented, chuckling a little at how ridiculous the statement probably sounded.
"I will be fair and tell you I know an 18 year old toddler who is not that much taller than you" Toni said, folding her arms for emphasis. "... serious?" the eevee asked, his ears involuntarily twitching cutely as he looked over at Toni, a mix of hope and disbelief on his face "So... I'm not the only freak like this?" he said, motioning in reference to his body. Toni couldn’t help but smirk a little at the look on the normal types face "Nope, if you think I am hard to believe as a teenager you should see some of my schoolmates" she said, as the eevee blinked in disbelief before leaning back in his chair.
"... maybe I should go to the PCA then...” he said softly as if turning the idea over in his head “Better than being a solitary freak at that private school..." he added, huffing weakly with a cute pout. Toni just shrugged a little at that "Just so you know, it is not like there are changing tables in the restrooms, but at least you will find about a dozen or so around or under your size." She said mentally counting up the kids, including her, that fell into the category. "Works for me... have to go to the nurse for changes anyway..." the eevee grumbled, glancing down at his bulging shorts and the diaper underneath for a moment before looking back at Toni "... names Todd by the way."
"Marie Antoinette, and other than feeling less outcast did you have a reason to want to go there?" Toni said formally, her curiosity getting the better of her. The eevee just shrugged "... they offered a scholarship... apparently they're looking for students for their contest major." He said casually as the little psychic type blinked in surprise before voicing it by asking "...they are promoting that contest major? I did not even know they were still taking new students into it." The eevee just nodded "Yep, apparently the couple wins I had back in Hoenn made them interested..." he said as a brief moment of silence fell over the two before Toni found herself making the obvious comment.
"...don't be offended if I make guesses on the category you won..."
"Cute. Same you'd be in if you entered a contest."
"I doubt I would last long with only one move in the category..."
Todd just shrugged at that and leaned back in his chair again as the silence resumed. Suddenly a snippet of the conversation going on between the two “Grown-ups” in the office reached the little ones ears. "...and considering how well cared she was under your watch, I'm already considering booking Toni in when I have to take her with me." Toni’s papa said as they could hear Todd’s mom happily reply "That would be wonderful, we'd love to look after you're little dear whenever you need someone to keep an eye on her!" before either of the kids could react Toni’s papa replied in a cheerful voice "In fact, if possible I'd like to start next saturday-"
"Papaaa!"
Toni cried out in protest at that last part, a pleading, desperate look on her face as she hopped from her seat and tried to rush into the office. Intending to hug her papa’s leg and beg him to reconsider. Suddenly a flurry of fluff and crinkles got in her way as she ran right into Todd’s chest as the eevee had blocked off her path. “Hold up! Kids aren’t supposed to go in Mama’s office!” he protested, holding Toni fast in a light hug despite her struggles. “Let go! I just want out of this daycare!” Toni protest, still squirming “That’s all I want! I just wanna go home!” her usually verbosity cast to the side thanks to her emotional state at the moment.
Todd look conflicted, the eevee’s ears drooping as he looked down at Toni. Finally he sighed and pulled her into a closer, more reassuring snuggle accompanied by him nuzzling her head gently “I know… but your papa’s going to take you home soon, okay? Just calm down…” he said, his tone gently though it seemed more like he was trying to imitate someone than anything else. Maybe his mom or one of his older siblings and what they did when he got upset like this. After a few more moments of struggling Toni finally calmed down, her face red with blush over the whole situation, as she finally spoke up and asked the question on her mind about the eevee.
“… do you have multiple personality disorder or something?”
“… why not, I’ll just add it to my list of other disorders…”
Suddenly there was the sound of a door opening up fully and both little ones, Todd still hugging Toni, turned to look at the door as Nana and Toni’s metang father Professor Wendell emerged. The two adults looked at the scene for a moment before the Professor let out a good natured chuckle and said "...We can't take her new friend home, right?" while Nana put her hands on her knees and bent down a little to smile at the two little ones as she said "Hello sweetie, having fun spending time with little Toni~?" in an amused tone.
Todd’s face blushed crimson as his ears drooped and he meekly stuttered out an explanation "H-hello Mama... uh... T-Toni seemed upset f-for some reason so I tried to cheer her up with a hug..." before giving a weak smile. The flareon smile warmly back, apparently accepting this version of the truth with all the incriminating details stripped away. Meanwhile Toni was blushing just as hard as Todd was and hoping that if she didn’t say or do anything she’d get away without enduring another cooing from Nana. Like in the movie with the prehistoric pokemon, if you didn’t move the tyrantrum couldn’t see you…
And it worked just as well as in that movie as Toni found herself gently scooped out of Todd’s arms and cradled in Nana’s. One of the flareon’s arms supporting the little gothita’s back and the other paw resting under Toni’s padded bottom. “As for being upset...” Nana started, Toni internally wincing as she could tell a bad cooing was about to happen from the fire types tone “I bet she just missed her daddy didn't you little one~ I hope your first day at daycare wasn't too rough on you~" Nana cooed to Toni, gently rubbing noses with the little psychic before adjusting her grip so she was holding Toni out facing her papa before continuing "And look, daddy's already here to pick you up~ So why don't you give him a biiiiiiig smile~"
Which was just about Toni’s boiling point, literally, since the gothita was so red in the face it looked like steam would start shooting out of her ears in sheer righteous indignation at how she’d just been treated. The pupils of her eyes has shrunk to tiny dots and it was taking all of Toni’s will power to bite her tongue and suppress the rage she was feeling… all of this, of course, was unknown to Nana since the flareon was holding Toni facing the professor and couldn’t see the gothita’s face. Todd meanwhile could see it plain as day and gulped, looking away as if expecting the little psychic in his mom’s arms to literally explode any moment now.
The professor seemed to realize the present danger as he quickly and gently took Toni out of the flareon’s paws and held his little girl close to him, stroking her head gently (which was impressive considering his hands were giant metal claws) as he gently reassured her "It's all right, dear." he said in a soft tone. This seemed to do the trick as Toni let out a long, soft sigh before asking “Can we go home now?” in a quiet, muffled tone. Before the professor could answer though Nana spoke up again making Toni, against her better judgement, turn to look at the fire type.
"This is my youngest son, Todd." Nana said, warm pride on her voice as she gently patted Todd's head, the eevee dutifully standing next to his mother despite blushing at the attention. "Pleased to meet you, young gentleman," the professor said, opting to extend his hand for a handshake instead of joining Nana in patting the eevee’s head "and thank you for being a friend to my daughter when she needed one." Blushing Todd extended his paw, blushing even more as he realized how babyish and tiny it look in the metangs claw, and shook the professor’s hand “P-please to m-meet you sir.” He mumbled timidly “A-and you’re welcome, T-Toni’s a nice g-girl.” He added with a meek and nervous smile.
The professor chuckled softly at that "Modest like a true gentleman, how admirable. Feel yourself welcome to visit us whenever you want to play with Toni again, we'll make sure to pay visits here in return" he praised, making Todd blush even more. The eevee turned bright pink though when his mother joined in on the act “Oh I know~ All of my kids are my pride and joy but Fluffles here is my precious little baby boy~” the flareon cooed, kneeling down to rub cheeks with Todd as his blush reached all the way to his ear tips.
“Oh and did you know? Back in Hoenn he was a little Cute Contest star~ We have his ribbons framed in his room~” she added, cuddling Todd and scooping him up as she bragged about him. The professor nodded "It's not so hard to believe, your son still radiates an endearing innocence" he said with a smile. “Thank you~” Nana said, nuzzling Todd once more “As much as I’d love to keep you here and brag more about my baby boy I’m sure you two need to be on your way… and I know a certain little pup in need of a fresh diaper~” she added, patting Todd’s shorts lightly as he blushed bright red and his ears shot straight up.
“Maaaaamaaaaaaaaa!” he whined, his tone gone squeaked in embarrassment as she shifted him in her arms so his chin was resting on her shoulder before carrying him down the hall humming softly. Toni could see him bury his bright red face into his mother’s shoulder either for comfort or to hide it in embarrassment before the two rounded the hallway and vanished from sight leaving the gothita alone in the arms of her papa.
*****************
The walk out of the daycare to their car had been in silence but as the professor was buckling her into her car-seat Toni finally found her voice. “… Papa...” she said quietly as he made sure she was buckled in securely before answering “Yes Toni?” he asked as Toni paused for a moment, scared of what might happened, before finally saying what she had known she’d have to say since the start of this little fiasco "...can you please forgive me? I really regret walking away..." she said, giving her adoptive father a pleading look and puppy dog pout. The metang gave a soft chuckle and smiled "Of course, dear, I always have room to forgive my little girl:"
"Aw, thank you so m-"
"But you are still in trouble, especially since you do know better." He added, making Toni’s expression go from elated to a sulky pout in a split second "Dang." She said, making the professor laugh lightly before smiling to her and saying something very unexpected "We'll spend the afternoon at the central park." Toni blinked for a moment, not sure she heard her papa right "Really!?" she asked eagerly, getting excited about the idea of going to the park for some real fun… especially after all she went through in the daycare. The professor nodded, digging around in a shopping bag Toni hadn’t noticed before "Yes, and I prepared something to make sure you don't go missing again." he said pulling out something…
A minute later Toni recognized it as a set of ledyba themed toddler reins made to keep a little child who didn’t know better safe and within their parents grasp. Toni’s lip quivered as all pretense of being a big girl vanished as she let out a whine worthy of some of the kids she’d just spent the day with.
"Paapa!"
The End~
“Lets get you to the changing table before you get a rash~”
The espeon’s gently tone as she carried the little gothita just made the embarrassment worse for Toni as she blushed and shut her eyes tight. She should be used to this by now but it was still horribly embarrassing, especially when a stranger was doing the changing and cooing at her like a toddler.

"Marie Antoinette, and other than feeling less outcast did you have a reason to want to go there?" Toni said formally, her curiosity getting the better of her. The eevee just shrugged "... they offered a scholarship... apparently they're looking for students for their contest major." He said casually as the little psychic type blinked in surprise before voicing it by asking "...they are promoting that contest major? I did not even know they were still taking new students into it." The eevee just nodded "Yep, apparently the couple wins I had back in Hoenn made them interested..." he said as a brief moment of silence fell over the two before Toni found herself making the obvious comment.
"...don't be offended if I make guesses on the category you won..."
"Cute. Same you'd be in if you entered a contest."
"I doubt I would last long with only one move in the category..."
Todd just shrugged at that and leaned back in his chair again as the silence resumed. Suddenly a snippet of the conversation going on between the two “Grown-ups” in the office reached the little ones ears. "...and considering how well cared she was under your watch, I'm already considering booking Toni in when I have to take her with me." Toni’s papa said as they could hear Todd’s mom happily reply "That would be wonderful, we'd love to look after you're little dear whenever you need someone to keep an eye on her!" before either of the kids could react Toni’s papa replied in a cheerful voice "In fact, if possible I'd like to start next saturday-"
"Papaaa!"
Toni cried out in protest at that last part, a pleading, desperate look on her face as she hopped from her seat and tried to rush into the office. Intending to hug her papa’s leg and beg him to reconsider. Suddenly a flurry of fluff and crinkles got in her way as she ran right into Todd’s chest as the eevee had blocked off her path. “Hold up! Kids aren’t supposed to go in Mama’s office!” he protested, holding Toni fast in a light hug despite her struggles. “Let go! I just want out of this daycare!” Toni protest, still squirming “That’s all I want! I just wanna go home!” her usually verbosity cast to the side thanks to her emotional state at the moment.
Todd look conflicted, the eevee’s ears drooping as he looked down at Toni. Finally he sighed and pulled her into a closer, more reassuring snuggle accompanied by him nuzzling her head gently “I know… but your papa’s going to take you home soon, okay? Just calm down…” he said, his tone gently though it seemed more like he was trying to imitate someone than anything else. Maybe his mom or one of his older siblings and what they did when he got upset like this. After a few more moments of struggling Toni finally calmed down, her face red with blush over the whole situation, as she finally spoke up and asked the question on her mind about the eevee.
“… do you have multiple personality disorder or something?”
“… why not, I’ll just add it to my list of other disorders…”
Suddenly there was the sound of a door opening up fully and both little ones, Todd still hugging Toni, turned to look at the door as Nana and Toni’s metang father Professor Wendell emerged. The two adults looked at the scene for a moment before the Professor let out a good natured chuckle and said "...We can't take her new friend home, right?" while Nana put her hands on her knees and bent down a little to smile at the two little ones as she said "Hello sweetie, having fun spending time with little Toni~?" in an amused tone.
Todd’s face blushed crimson as his ears drooped and he meekly stuttered out an explanation "H-hello Mama... uh... T-Toni seemed upset f-for some reason so I tried to cheer her up with a hug..." before giving a weak smile. The flareon smile warmly back, apparently accepting this version of the truth with all the incriminating details stripped away. Meanwhile Toni was blushing just as hard as Todd was and hoping that if she didn’t say or do anything she’d get away without enduring another cooing from Nana. Like in the movie with the prehistoric pokemon, if you didn’t move the tyrantrum couldn’t see you…
And it worked just as well as in that movie as Toni found herself gently scooped out of Todd’s arms and cradled in Nana’s. One of the flareon’s arms supporting the little gothita’s back and the other paw resting under Toni’s padded bottom. “As for being upset...” Nana started, Toni internally wincing as she could tell a bad cooing was about to happen from the fire types tone “I bet she just missed her daddy didn't you little one~ I hope your first day at daycare wasn't too rough on you~" Nana cooed to Toni, gently rubbing noses with the little psychic before adjusting her grip so she was holding Toni out facing her papa before continuing "And look, daddy's already here to pick you up~ So why don't you give him a biiiiiiig smile~"
Which was just about Toni’s boiling point, literally, since the gothita was so red in the face it looked like steam would start shooting out of her ears in sheer righteous indignation at how she’d just been treated. The pupils of her eyes has shrunk to tiny dots and it was taking all of Toni’s will power to bite her tongue and suppress the rage she was feeling… all of this, of course, was unknown to Nana since the flareon was holding Toni facing the professor and couldn’t see the gothita’s face. Todd meanwhile could see it plain as day and gulped, looking away as if expecting the little psychic in his mom’s arms to literally explode any moment now.
The professor seemed to realize the present danger as he quickly and gently took Toni out of the flareon’s paws and held his little girl close to him, stroking her head gently (which was impressive considering his hands were giant metal claws) as he gently reassured her "It's all right, dear." he said in a soft tone. This seemed to do the trick as Toni let out a long, soft sigh before asking “Can we go home now?” in a quiet, muffled tone. Before the professor could answer though Nana spoke up again making Toni, against her better judgement, turn to look at the fire type.
"This is my youngest son, Todd." Nana said, warm pride on her voice as she gently patted Todd's head, the eevee dutifully standing next to his mother despite blushing at the attention. "Pleased to meet you, young gentleman," the professor said, opting to extend his hand for a handshake instead of joining Nana in patting the eevee’s head "and thank you for being a friend to my daughter when she needed one." Blushing Todd extended his paw, blushing even more as he realized how babyish and tiny it look in the metangs claw, and shook the professor’s hand “P-please to m-meet you sir.” He mumbled timidly “A-and you’re welcome, T-Toni’s a nice g-girl.” He added with a meek and nervous smile.
The professor chuckled softly at that "Modest like a true gentleman, how admirable. Feel yourself welcome to visit us whenever you want to play with Toni again, we'll make sure to pay visits here in return" he praised, making Todd blush even more. The eevee turned bright pink though when his mother joined in on the act “Oh I know~ All of my kids are my pride and joy but Fluffles here is my precious little baby boy~” the flareon cooed, kneeling down to rub cheeks with Todd as his blush reached all the way to his ear tips.
“Oh and did you know? Back in Hoenn he was a little Cute Contest star~ We have his ribbons framed in his room~” she added, cuddling Todd and scooping him up as she bragged about him. The professor nodded "It's not so hard to believe, your son still radiates an endearing innocence" he said with a smile. “Thank you~” Nana said, nuzzling Todd once more “As much as I’d love to keep you here and brag more about my baby boy I’m sure you two need to be on your way… and I know a certain little pup in need of a fresh diaper~” she added, patting Todd’s shorts lightly as he blushed bright red and his ears shot straight up.
“Maaaaamaaaaaaaaa!” he whined, his tone gone squeaked in embarrassment as she shifted him in her arms so his chin was resting on her shoulder before carrying him down the hall humming softly. Toni could see him bury his bright red face into his mother’s shoulder either for comfort or to hide it in embarrassment before the two rounded the hallway and vanished from sight leaving the gothita alone in the arms of her papa.
*****************
The walk out of the daycare to their car had been in silence but as the professor was buckling her into her car-seat Toni finally found her voice. “… Papa...” she said quietly as he made sure she was buckled in securely before answering “Yes Toni?” he asked as Toni paused for a moment, scared of what might happened, before finally saying what she had known she’d have to say since the start of this little fiasco "...can you please forgive me? I really regret walking away..." she said, giving her adoptive father a pleading look and puppy dog pout. The metang gave a soft chuckle and smiled "Of course, dear, I always have room to forgive my little girl:"
"Aw, thank you so m-"
"But you are still in trouble, especially since you do know better." He added, making Toni’s expression go from elated to a sulky pout in a split second "Dang." She said, making the professor laugh lightly before smiling to her and saying something very unexpected "We'll spend the afternoon at the central park." Toni blinked for a moment, not sure she heard her papa right "Really!?" she asked eagerly, getting excited about the idea of going to the park for some real fun… especially after all she went through in the daycare. The professor nodded, digging around in a shopping bag Toni hadn’t noticed before "Yes, and I prepared something to make sure you don't go missing again." he said pulling out something…
A minute later Toni recognized it as a set of ledyba themed toddler reins made to keep a little child who didn’t know better safe and within their parents grasp. Toni’s lip quivered as all pretense of being a big girl vanished as she let out a whine worthy of some of the kids she’d just spent the day with.
"Paapa!"
The End~
