Gathering to play castle in the open fields on the edge of town.Children and the few caretakers who would be watching over them divided the costumes, weapons and roles among themselves. As the group slowly wandered from the pile of props and uniforms in hand a little colt scrambled from a silver mini van in the parking lot late. dropping out onto the ground little hooves hit the payment running rushing over to look at what few things remained. Tailing behind her little one Two-shoes clucked her tongue in concern. From the look of things there was no bows swords or armor left , even the dragon suits had all been taken leaving only the bottom of the barrel as far as playthings, at least from her colts view.

"DRESSES!" TreBor wailed, The little colt getting up from his knees on the grassy ground a sour look on his face stomping little hoof holes in the ground as he did. " WE TO LATE" tears welled at the corners of the colts eyes as he began to tear up and cry. Two-shoes sighed rolling her eyes, if her little one hadn't decided to fill his diaper right as they were heading out the door they would have made it on time not that, that was something he could control still little ones cant quite understand such concepts as having to change. He would have been just as upset stinking up the field and being teased for having a messy diaper hanging out of his armor suit.

"uh, hey" interrupted mid tantrum the colt looked up from the ground finding two other little ones dressed in full princess attire . " Do you wanna join us in the castle? We can have cookies and fun and dress pretty." TreBor looked baffled attention from others was good, perking his spirits and the offer of cookies. " I have to wear a dress dou?" "yeah boys can wear dresses to!" one of the princesses said the fox kit lifting his dress to show off a train car diaper. TreBor was still confused looking back to his mother for support, she simply nodded and stepping forward pulled a blue princess outfit out and give him a gently push as the other two little ones took his hands the excitement they showed spreading infectiously until the little colt skipped along with them to the changing pavilion.

"uh.." the little colt stood outside the dressing curtain his cheeks a rosy red as he swung back and forth nervously the frills and skirt of the blue outfit swinging this way and that. " Looks good baby, but you'd better hurry" mommy adjusted the cone hat atop his head. " Your friends are waiting." taking one more embarrassed glance TreBor heard them calling and waved before taking off tripping a few times unfamiliar with the physics of dress wearing, the rest if the day would be spent in learning the finer arts of tea parties damsels in distress and dancing. TreBor eventually was so distracted with fun the dress didn't bother him any more and his long hair certainly helped him fit the part. by the end of the day as mommy loaded him up into his car seat a blushing TreBor asked. " mommy?" finishing a buckle Two-shoes nodded absentmindedly " Yes sweetie?", TreBor wriggled in his seat before requesting. " Can i play princess again?"
