The app notifications went off. They must have thought she was crazy. Sushi from one place and boba from another. Then there were the coloring books, crayons, candy and snacks from yet another. They were all her favorite things and very important for a day like today.

It had been a particularly challenging couple of weeks and it had all just gotten to be too much, so today she was going to do something about it. Shae tiptoed down the stairs and peeked out of her room into the living room. No one there, awesome. This was going to be pretty easy.

It’s not like she thought her roommates would say anything about her outfit, hell they probably already knew about her special underwear choices. Today she had decided to wear her comfy denim skirtall with the frayed denim star on the bib, the cute little wolf bodysuit under it… bodysuit, it was a onesie and under it was one of the comfy new AlphaGatorZ and over it was her new ruffled booty tights. Her hair was in tiny little pigtail tufts since her hair was still in the process of growing to where she wanted and she had the tiara she’d gotten as a present on as well. She felt absolutely adorable as she pranced through the living room to the front door.

She caught her one roommates eye peeking down the hall and he just rolled his eyes at her as she opened the door and bent over to get her orders. Her ruffley tush peeked out before she adjusted the skirt and made her way back up to her room.

Into bed, TV on to Bluey as suggested by her baby sister for today, the front rail went up and she sat there on her big plush purple blanket. Princess sat beside her wearing one of her little drool bibs as a second bandana, because sometimes the big stuffed sabertooth tiger wanted to be baby too.

So the little princess (not to be mistaken for Princess herself) was at peace. This was how she wished she could always live. Just an oversized toddler who was still in diapers more often than not if only for the comfort of them. She ate her sushi and potstickers, drank her boba, colored, snuggled her plushies, played with her baby toys and just… was. She was herself and she was happy.

I was drying my hair when I heard the knock at the door and hurried over to let her in. “I’ll be ready to go in a few minutes if you just want to make yourself comfortable?” I offered, gesturing around the room. This was the first time I’d met someone while I was out of town and had them over to my hotel room the next day. I didn’t know what common etiquette was in this situation, but I wanted to do my best to impress Liliana. She smiled and lightly brushed my shoulder.

“Oh honey, no need to be nervous. I won’t bite.” A shiver went down my spine as I had the invasive thought of ‘I wish you would though.’ She picked one of the chairs. “So, you said there were a few places you wanted to check out. Have anything else planned while in town?”

“Not really, no. Was hoping I’d either find something in one of those spots.” I gestured to my map on the table beside her. “Or maybe there would be more sightings while I was in town. I have to say, you’re the first person I’ve told who hasn’t brushed it off as me being a silly little girl.” By this time, I was seated at a little table with a mirror and had started my makeup.

Liliana laughed softly. “Why would I think it was silly to believe in lore and your dreams? Honestly, I think it’s a very attractive trait to, at the very least, have such an active imagination and hope. But it really feels like conviction and I like that.” Her words came out with a rumble that brought back the warm feeling from the night before.

“Well, thank you. It’s been a while since I’ve been able to talk to anyone about it without them laughing at me or changing the subject as quickly as they could.”

“Oh, of course. Why don’t you tell me more about what you know and I’ll help you pick your outfit for the day.” She tilted her head towards my luggage to punctuate her point.

“Oh, uhhhh… why not.” I had thought it had been a joke when she called, but it seemed not. I shrugged, continuing with my makeup. “So, they stay in packs. Sometimes in the same house, but usually just within their territory. The stronger the alpha, the bigger the territory. From what I can figure out, the alpha here is extremely powerful.” I caught a bit of a rumble as she was picking through my clothes. “I know there would be drawbacks of course, but I’ve wanted it for so long that I don’t really care anymore.”

“What drawbacks do you worry about the most?” She laid out a pair of my shorts and went back to the bag.

“Okay, this may sound silly, but… I really like to swim.” I trailed off a bit.

“Well, yea? What would change there? Can werewolves not swim?” She sounded more amused at this than anything.

“I mean… a lot of lore I’ve seen says that they can’t? Like, their bodies are too dense and they sink.” I felt like I was defending my research project to a teacher at that moment and she giggled a little.

“That would be awful. You know I have a pool… I’d have to get you floats or something. Maybe some of those arm things? Or like the big ring float things that have the underwater seat part?” She was teasing me so much I almost missed a detail.

“Oooooh, did you just casually invite me over to swim in your pool? Wanna see me in my bathing suit, huh?” I cocked my head at her, letting my fringe drape the side of my face, hopefully it was as much of a look as I thought it was in my mind. She grinned at me, putting the rest of the chosen outfit on the bed.

“Guilty. How about you get changed and we go get something to eat? You can tell me more and I can keep picturing you in my pool.” I looked down at the clothes she had picked. Black shorts, my mismatched pink and purple Chuck’s, striped socks and a Pokemon t-shirt I had brought to sleep in. I thought about arguing against the shirt, but something inside told me to just change and have fun. I giggled a bit before dropping the towel to reveal my soft pink bra and panties beneath. I began to pull my clothes on.

“Might as well make it easier to imagine, right?” I purred seductively at her.

“Oh, I knew I liked you.” She giggled.

Liliana refused to let me walk back to the hotel even though it was only a mile or two. “No ma’am! I will not risk you getting hurt after I kept you out so late. The driver is coming up the road now, they’ll take you back. Two thirty is far too late for a young girl like you to be out walking alone.” I looked down at my shuffling feet. Was it really that late? How did I not even realize? And why did it feel so warm and fuzzy to have her insisting like this?

As the car pulled to a stop, she opened the back door and helped me into the seat, kissing me on the cheek. “I had a lovely night, I hope you’ll call me when you wake up. I really would enjoy spending the day with you.” I nodded, at a loss for words after the sweet little cheek peck and she shut the door. Minutes later I was walking up to my room lost in thought. I had come to the city to try and become a werewolf, but if I could get a girlfriend as wonderful as Liliana that would be great too. Oh gods, werewolves… I forgot I had been going to that club because of the sighting!

I hit ‘call’ on the most recent number in the log. The phone rang for a minute before going to voice-mail. “You’ve reached Liliana! If this is business, please call the other number. Otherwise leave a message and I’ll get back to you.”

“Liliana! I wanted to warn you, I was in that area tonight because I heard about a werewolf sighting. I know you probably don’t believe they’re real, but please be safe. Call me when you get this.” I know I must’ve sounded insane, but I needed her to be okay. I would feel awful if she went through all the trouble to get me back to my hotel safe only to get attacked herself. As I wondered what my next move was, my Ovid began to ring and I looked to see ‘Liliana <3’. “Hello, Liliana?”

“I know I said I couldn’t wait to talk to you again, but goodness. An eager little one aren’t we?” She chuckled. Her voice sounded deeper, like she had been running or something.

“I just… I was worried.” My heart began to calm down and I realized I had been panicking.

“Worried about me? Oh, you are so sweet. Rachel, I’m fine. I got a ride right behind you. I was just… in the shower.”

“Oh, okay. Thank you for letting me know you’re okay. I’m sorry if I seem too eager.”

“No way! You’re sweet. Now get some sleep and call me when you wake up and we’ll see what kind of fun we can get up too.”

“Yes ma’am, good night.” I said before hanging up. I changed into my pajamas and crawled into bed. Turning on the TV I curled up around one of the pillows. Why had I said yes ma’am?

~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I woke up. I thought about getting ready for the day first, but the thought of ‘call when you wake up’ hit me, so I rolled over and grabbed my phone. After the second ring it clicked over and I heard her chipper voice. “Well good morning sleepy head, how’re we feeling?”

“Ugh, fine I guess. H-how’re you?” I groaned out.

“I’m doing very well. Glad you called, does that mean you’d like to get together? I could show you around the city, maybe hit a few of the spots you mentioned?”

“Oh that would be great. Where should I meet you or…” I could kick myself. I was moving too fast.

“Or I could come to the hotel and help you get dressed?” She teased.

“Help me get dre… I wasn’t going to… but yea?” I stammered out getting flustered already.

“Sure thing. I’ll be there in a few minutes. Go ahead and get a shower and everything.”

As I took in my surroundings, I instantly felt like a kid who had wandered into her parents party. Everyone was in dark leather and silk. They all looked so regal and here I was looking like a scene queen. It was almost enough to turn around and head right back out the door. I was never one to go to clubs, let alone one so nice as this. All my life had been spent behind some book or screen. Sure I had read about goth clubs and everything, but I always assumed the media had just romanticized the culture.

So there I stood, head down and biting my lip while I debated my next step when I heard a deep growling voice. “Are you sure you’re old enough to be here, sugar?” The southern drawl caught me off guard at first, but as the possible insult registered I quickly looked up, I’m sure with a fire in my eye. “Whoa whoa whoa. I was only teasing. You just looked so nervous that I had to break the tension with a joke… guess that didn’t land though.” All pretenses of the fake southern accent were gone, replaced by something more akin to what you would expect from a lifelong surfer. Looking the guy over, I could maybe see him riding the waves at some point. He looked like one of the Coreys had grown up to dress like a vampire.

Tutting, I looked him in the eyes. “Oh Edgar! Guess you finally gave up the fight, huh?”

“Oh, you know the Lost Boys. I’m so sorry, the teased out pixie cut made it seem like the Cullen’s were more your speed on vampiric lore. How ever will you forgive me?” He was still teasing, but I could tell there was no malice.

“You could start by buying me a drink.” I grinned. I smiled for the first time since walking through the doors. Looking around I could tell that while everyone was far more well dressed than me, none of them were judging my fit, most didn’t even notice me. Of course, I was so wrapped up in my own narrative I had begun to feel like I was the protagonist instead of just another person trying to enjoy life.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Over the next hour or so we sat and chatted about things. A lot of movie talk for sure. At first it was really varied, but eventually I brought up werewolves. “… Cursed, Howl, 100% Wolf… which, yea it’s a kids movie, but it was super cute.”

He chuckled. “You’re really into them, huh?”

“You could say that, yeah. Actually, I saw something about sightings of them in the area. You know anything about that?” Glancing around the room, I noted that no one seemed to give me any mind. If there were any lycanthropes here, surely they would’ve heard me right?

He gave a belly laugh, but after a moment he realized I wasn’t laughing. “Oh, you’re serious? Yea, I’ve heard some talk… but werewolves aren’t real… you know that right, Rachel?” He looked at me the way my parents had many times. Like I may be completely delusional. I started to get up.

“Thank you for the company and drinks, but I think it’s about time I head out.” He reached out to me.

“Wait… one of my friends swears she saw one last night… I could give her your number and maybe you two could talk. I don’t want to believe in stuff like that, but if it could help her…” He trailed off and I gave him the number to a burner phone I picked up for things like this.

“Thank you, Danny. That would be great. Have a great night.” I headed out the door. I didn’t want to be there after that look of pity and fear. He didn’t believe they were real and that was fine, but that look… I needed to get out.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I thought about using one of those rideshare apps, but at that moment I just wanted to walk. Going back by The Venue, I saw a little blonde woman talking with the bouncer. She happened to look in my direction and it felt like she was looking me over. She was really cute in a bubblegum pop princess kind of way. She gave me a little wave, turned to say something to the bouncer and headed back inside. A warm feeling washed over me as I thought ‘maybe I’ll go ahead and check this place out tonight.’

First Moon Forever 2

“Hey ma. Sorry for calling so late. I just got in the car and realized I hadn’t told you yet. I’m thinking about moving to the city, so I’m going to take the week and look for a new apartment and everything. I love you and will talk later.” I couldn’t tell her what I was really hoping to do, but if I did pull this off I wouldn’t likely be coming home to stay. Every bit of lore I’d studied said that the pack would all live within the territory. I’d honestly be lucky if I was able to go back alone to get my stuff.

Taking a deep breath, a smile crept across my face. Even if this didn’t work, a week in the city would be nice. Hitting play on “Love Crimes” by Moonspell, I shifted into first and pulled out of the parking lot. Let the hunt begin.

~~~~~~~~~~~

After checking into the hotel I went through their brochures until I found a local map and headed up to my room. Setting up for the week I put my laptop on the little desk and pinned the map to the wall. While my computer booted up, I found a few hotspots I remembered popping up while I was looking for sightings. You had a few parks and bars, the obvious go to places. There were a few near an old unfinished construction site. Once everything I knew of was marked, I logged in and checked my usual sites. Nothing new there, but I decided to try my luck with a Google search while I was at it. ‘Werewolf sightings near me’.

‘/r/weshouldnevermeet’ from this morning. If nothing else, this would be good for a laugh, so I clicked the link. ‘This is my first time posting and I know it’s going to be hard to believe, but I think I saw a werewolf last night.’ Okay, good start if not completely predictable. ‘I went for a jog to clear my mind. When I was going by The Venue, I saw what I thought was a big husky in the alleyway but as I got closer it seemed to notice me and lift up onto it’s hindlegs and… grow? I guess that’s what it was? One moment I think I’m looking at some lost dog and the next it’s standing up, towering over me. I know that sounds crazy, but… it was a werewolf… right?’

Okay that intrigued me so I looked up The Venue, but it was just some poppy dance club. As unlikely as it was, I still marked it on the map to check out if all else failed before lying down to get some rest. It was going to be a long night.

~~~~~~~~~~~

I could obviously stake out one of the locations on the map, but I opted instead to check out the local goth club. So after throwing on an MCR shirt, some grey and black leopard print leggings and a frilly black skirt I headed out into the night. It was still early enough, so I decided to walk. I happened to pass by The Venue on my way. The building was brick with pink and purple neon lights and on a decently lit street from what I could looking around. Definitely not what comes to mind when you think ‘werewolf hangout’, but you never really know.

Club Monkshood however, was dark brick that looked like it hadn’t been cleaned in years. All the other shops on the street were closing up and it was starting to get dark as I walked up. The wooden sign on the wall was the only indicator that it was actually an establishment, this was the kind of place you expected to read about in a lycanthropic novel. Feeling hopeful I headed into the small crowd. I instantly felt out of place.

Spoopy

The hands floating around her flickered in and out of existence. For something that seemed to not really exist, they sure were strong! Try as she could, the little punk girl couldn’t get free. All her struggles and wiggling only cause the ridiculously thick pink princess diaper they had forcibly put on her, to crinkle as a reminder of what she seemed to be to them. It only made sense though… sneak into an abandoned adult daycare and get babied by ghosts. That sort of thing happened everyday, right?

~~~~~~~~~~

“I’m so bored!” Zix wailed as she flopped over the back of the couch onto her sister Lily who had been lying there watching TV. Her tripp pants jingled obnoxiously as she fell onto the unsuspecting girl.

“Gah! Zixxie! Don’t do that! Now I’m all tangled up in your pants straps!” Lily whined as she had flailed at the sudden appearance of her sister on top of her, getting her leg in one the straps somehow.

Zix just giggled as she easily undid the single loop around her little sister’s leg. “Guess that’s why they call them bondage pants, huh? But anyways! I’m! Bored!”

“So I hear. Why don’t you go do something?”

“Like what? There’s nothing to do in this lame town!” Zix flops backwards dramatically.

“When has there not being anything to do stopped you from finding something anyways?” Lily shoved her shoulder for emphasis.

“Yea, I’m sure there’s some old building or something in town you can ‘investigate’ or whatever.” Her brother said with air quotes as he came from the kitchen.

“Phil! That’s a great idea! And maybe you can try no sarcasm next time!” She stuck her tongue out at him as she hopped off the couch and practically ran up to her room to get her stuff together. Both of her siblings laughed to each other as she went.

~~~~~~~~~~

Stuck the crib with a plush puppy dog waved in her face, Zix heard the front door opening. She opened her mouth to shout for help or at least to warn whomever was unwittingly falling into the same trap she had, but her efforts were cut short by the big latex bulb of a pacifier being pushed into her mouth. Try as she might she couldn’t get the intrusive thing out from between her lips. She gave it a suck as she huffed at the plushie floating in front of her earning a stern ‘Tut tut tut’ from the spirit she had come to know as Nanny Esmerelda. Blushing she continued to suckle the paci not wanting to make the ghost anymore cross with her than she already was.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Zix grabbed her exploration kit, scribbled a note about ‘Old house/Daycare’ on the fridge notepad and was out the door. It was a pretty quick drive to the old house. According to a wiki article, the place had been the home of a well off family for years. As the kids got older and moved away, the mother of the house missed having kids around. When her husband passed away, she decided to turn her home into a daycare for mothers who couldn’t afford childcare. Sadly she had an accident one night and there was no one there to help. Ever since then, the old house had been left alone to honor her kindness or something. No one wanted to tear down the house she had opened to those in need. And so, years later it still sat empty. Perfect for exploring!

Walking through the fence she noticed the playground in the side yard. Mrs. Esmerelda had even put her own money into making sure the kids had a wonderful time. She really was a sweet lady.

The doors opened as if they hadn’t been sitting unused for more than a decade. The little foyer had soft wood tones under the years of dust. Near the door she saw a guest book. Dusting it off she could see it was where mothers would write in when arriving. Chuckling, she thought it would be nice to fill out the little book to show she had been here. So she tested the pen to see if it still worked and filled her name in on the line ‘Dropping off ______, Age _____’. Setting the pen down she felt warm as if she had been wrapped in a big blanket. It was odd, but not unwelcome. “Hello Mrs. Esmerelda. I hope it’s okay if I have a look around your place.” She didn’t believe in ghosts, but it didn’t hurt to be polite to the dead anyways.

As she opened the door to the next room she saw a big living room that has been converted into a playroom. The walls were painted with pastel colors. Toys sat in cubbies on the shelves around the room, with bigger ones around the floor. It was all very cute and welcoming, but she felt the urge to go through another door to the left of the room, almost as if she were being urged on from behind.

This door revealed a nursery. The crib and changing table had a matching Lion King theme. As she glanced around the room it was like the furniture was growing before her eyes. “Hello sweetie. It looks like your mommy forgot to put your age in, but I can recognize a baby girl when I see one.” As this sweet voice started, it was like it was all around her, but became focused in one area as ghostly hands appeared near her. They quickly had her lifted from under the arms and went about getting her into more appropriate attire for ‘such a little princess’ before lying her in the now large crib, handing her a plush puppy and pushing a paci between her lips. She suddenly felt very sleepy. Unable to fight it, she drifted off.

~~~~~~~~~~~

“You know, Zixxie has been gone for hours… maybe we should go find her?” Lily called out across the house.

“Yea, she left a note on the fridge. Let’s go make sure she’s okay.” Philly answered from the kitchen.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Alice groaned as she read Zix’s note on the fridge with Lily’s added ‘gone to find Zix, be back soon’. She had heard stories saying that Mrs. Esmerelda had never left her old home and was still looking to take care of children. As terrified as she was of ghosts, she couldn’t leave them trapped in a haunted daycare.

~~~~~~~~~~~

“Alright princess, let Nanny get you out of that sleeper and those wet diapees and into something more fun for a little princess to play in.” Zix was confused as the hands lifted her from the crib, but as the voice of ‘Nanny’ spoke she noticed she was actually wet. At this sudden realization that she had somehow peed herself in her sleep for the first time in twenty years, Zix began to squirm as best as she could, but she found herself far too weak somehow. Her eyes darted around more alarmed than ever. She was beginning to realize how compliant she had been and that was starting to worry her. What had this ghost done to make her docile and so… infantile?

Lost in her thoughts she let out a squealing fit of giggles as the hands laid her on the channing table and one tickled her stomach as the other undid the sleeper. She felt herself letting the pacifier slip from her mouth, but one of the hands pushed it back in. “Ah ah ah, sweetie. Pacis keep little baby girls nice and happy.” And with that she began to suckle again. Bliss took over as she watched the hands undress and clean her up. She should be mortified, outraged, something! But instead she felt happy, warm and safe as the hands put her in layer after layer of thick princess themed diapers.

When the hands hefted her back to the floor, she stood wobbly on her feet. Seeing the mass of pink frills and floof Zix knew it was the furthest thing from what she would wear, but she squealed happily from behind her still bobbing pacifier. She was a princess and this dress was perfect for her! Without thinking her arms were up so the dress could be slipped over her head. Her hair was pulled into tufty little pigtails and a little silver tiara sat just behind her bangs. It was all so wrong, but all so perfect!

“Now then, let’s get you settled so we can get your big brother and sister, shall we?” As Nanny spoke Zixxie was carried back to the play room and sat in the playpen. Her plushie puppy was handed back to and she hugged him close. Koda was such a good boy. The perfect puppy for a princess like her.

~~~~~~~~~~~

As one of the other doors out of the room opened, Princess Zixxie wasn’t sure how long she had been snuggling with Koda, but she knew Nanny had been gone for a little bit. She wiggled around on her crinkly pillow of a rump to look at the door only to see Lily and Philly walking into the room. They were holding hands, each with a plushie in the other. Lily with a little bunny, Philly an elephant. Both wore the biggest smiles as well as new cute outfits. Philly’s was a shirt and shorts that was yellow with light pink butterflies. The shorts seemed to be puffier than they should be, but looking to Lily, it became obvious why. She had on a cute little sky blue dress with rainbow accents and a rainbow lightning bolt in the middle of her chest. Peeking from under it was matching training panties.

“Your big brother and sister came to play with you today! Isn’t that so sweet?” They both had dazed looks in their eyes as they skipped to the playpen hand in hand.

“Oh! Baby Zixxie! You’re so precious!” They both squealed in unison causing her to whimper. This wasn’t right… They were adults. What was going on? They need to get out. But no sooner had the thoughts came than Lily booping her paci and pushing the thoughts away. Today was a fun day! She got to play with her big sibbies!

~~~~~~~~~~

Pulling to the old house, Alice instantly saw Zix and Lily’s cars. She took a deep breath as she got out. She couldn’t believe she was going into a haunted house. They were going to owe her big. After a minute of deep breathing and pumping herself up, she made her way up to the door. From inside she could hear the laughter of children at play, but those children sounded way too familiar for her liking. Once inside the door she saw the guest book. It looks like Zix had put her name in herself, but after that it looked like someone else filed out the rest. ‘xie age one. ‘Dropping off Lily and Philly, Age two.’

“Oh no… this can’t be good.” Alice murmured. Summoning all the courage she could, Alice looked towards the door and announced herself. “Mrs. Esmerelda, I’m here to pick up my…” She glanced down at the book and sighed. “… babies.” No sooner had the words left her that the door slowly opened to reveal the old daycare. She had spent many days here when she was a kid. Mrs. Esmerelda was always the most wonderful lady, but she was strict on her rules. Mothers must fill out the book in full and they must announce themselves at pickup time. It was far too easy for mix-ups to happen and she wasn’t having any of that here.

“Hello Alice dear, you forgot to fill out the book properly, but I took care of that for you. You sure have grown into such a lovely young lady. I have your tots all ready to go, their things will be in your car waiting.” Alice shuddered, but walked into the room to see Lily and Phil playing with blocks while Zix rocked on her massively padded butt.

“Oh gosh… you guys…” She strode over to pick up Zix and hip her. “Follow… mommy, to the car. It’s time to head home.”

“Yes mommy!” They chirped in unison, sending more chills down her spine than Mrs. Esmerelda had. Back on the porch she found her little sports car and both of the others were all gone, parked there instead was a forest green minivan. As she got Zixxie buckled into her carseat, she couldn’t help but wonder how long all these effects would last.

Dare to get Spoopy

Turning the corner she froze in her steps. “Gods dammit.” She cursed under her breath. Ahead of her the dark hallway got brighter as it went along, both in lighting and color. Why had she even taken this dare? She didn’t really have much to gain other than proving herself to Scarlett. This girl was the one of Olivia’s dreams. She had been teasing her about being a poser and not nearly as tough as she acted. Livi had to prove her wrong. As she made her way from one dark cliche room to the next of the haunted house, it had dawned on her that the teasing had actually had a flirty tone to it, but she had been so nervous at her time it went right over her head.

Now here she was, making her way down a hall that transitioned from the dark and dinginess she had become accustomed too to a much more childish pastel motif. As Livi walked towards the door at the end of the hall, she couldn’t help but notice it seemed to only get bigger. By the time she reached the end and reached out for the door knob, it was level with her head. Taking a deep breath, she turned the knob only to have the door pulled open ahead of her revealing the clown doll that stood a foot taller than her.

The punk girl let out a shriek as she tumbled backwards away from the oversized nursery and the awaiting living toys. She felt her cheeks grow warm as did her pants. There weren’t many things that she was actually afraid of, but clowns were at the top of the list. She sat frozen in the shameful puddle she had just made as the clown walked towards her.

“Oh my… guys! She pissed herself! Miss, are you okay?” Having her source of her terror trying to talk to her was not helping in the least.

“Dude, get back. She’s obviously not good with clowns.” Olivia could see a huge teddy bear had stood up from a pile of gigantic toys and was coming towards her. The clown doll shrugged and backed away, still laughing to themselves about causing Olivia to wet herself.

“I mean, look at her! Spikes on her vest, ripped and patched skinny jeans, an old DPFW shirt. You’d think she could handle a haunted house better than a baby!” With that the clown looked over to the changing table in the nursery. “You know what? If She’s just going to sit in her own piss, we should at least help her get changed!” The clown girl cackled and the teddy looked at them.

“Becca! Will you shut the hell up! You aren’t helping things!” He growled out at the clown, seeing Livi was still frozen in fear aside from shivering violently. “Dammit… we can’t just leave her sitting in soaked clothes sitting in a pool of pee though… Miss? Can you get up? Do you have anyone I can call for you?” But Olivia still sat in shock. It didn’t help that anytime Mr. Bear had his attention on her, the clown girl was doing her whole shtick to keep freaking her out.

After giving her a few minutes and trying his best to get her back to her feet, Mr. Bear finally gave in and picked her up. She went boneless in his arms as he sighed and took her to the changing table. “Will you be okay if I help you get dry?” He asked as he laid her down on the smooth plastic cushion. For the first time Livi nodded, not really sure what she was agreeing to, but desperate to be dry and away from the clown.

“Oh dear, your clothes are all soaked… we’ll have to get you something from here… Becca? Can you get something?” He slowly eased her vest off and laid it aside following it with her shirt, he paused for a moment. “I’m really sorry sweetie…” he said before continuing to undress the girl who seemed to be in shock. Her boots and socks came next before he took a deep breath and moved to the pants. As he started to pull them down he had to chuckle a little at the Kuromi panties that lie beneath. “She’s my favorite Sanrio character too.”

After he got her fully undressed, he made quick work of grabbing a package of wipes and getting her cleaned up. Becca popped back up with a bright pink dress and diaper bag, causing Olivia to shriek again. “Oh what a baby!” Becca sneered as she waved the dress back and forth. “Guess I made the right choice! Anyways! I’ll take care of these!” She giggled mischievously as she took the wet clothes and began to shove them into a big diaper bag.

“I’m sorry about her and… this…” Mr. Bear offered as he held up the biggest, thickest diaper Olivia had ever seen and proceeded to slide it under her before dusting her with powder and taping it up. Sitting up, Mr. Bear took the dress off the hanger and unzipped the back. “And I’m sure you couldn’t find anything a little less childish could you?” He grumbled at the clown doll player who was hopping around the room with the diaper bag. Olivia noticed a big pacifier dangling from a ribbon attached to the Peter Pan collar and could only blush.

“Nope! I think it’s fitting anyways!” Becca stuck her tongue out. “Get the baby dressed and go take her to her mommy or daddy already!” Mr. Bear shook his head as he pulled the dress over Livi’s head and did up the back. Becca gave him the diaper bag to put over his shoulder before getting Livi up on his back to give her a piggy back ride out. “Don’t forget the bow!” She squealed in laughter as she did a big bow in the back sending a new series of shivers through Olivia before Mr. Bear could carry her the rest of the way through the haunted house.

Each of the remaining rooms brought a mixture of laughter and concern from the players in them. Finally, they made it to the exit and Mr. Bear looked around. “Is there anyone here with her?” He asked the people waiting outside. Most of them just laughed, but Scarlett and Livi met eyes. The poor girl buried her face in the back of Mr. Bear as her crush came rushing over.

“Oh my… what happened? Why is she dressed as a baby? Is that a diaper? Livi are you okay? I’m so sorry, I told you that you didn’t really have to go alone.” Scarlett was so scared for the girl her flirting had pushed into trying to prove herself.

“Scarlett? So you’re her mommy… err… sorry, that’s just what Rebecca said…” Mr. Bear stumbled to recover, but at this point he couldn’t help but think of this formerly tough looking punk girl as anything but a baby at this moment.

Scarlett grinned. “Yes Derrick, I’m her friend, but… yes I’m the one here with her. So if mommy is what’s needed right now…” She trailed off, her face looking flushed. Olivia couldn’t help but notice that Scarlett seemed to be amused at the very least.

Burying her face again she mumbled without thinking. “I ruined any chance I had with her…” Mr. Bear, or Derrick as Livi had just learned, lowered her off his back and she was able to stand on her own feet.

“I mean… we borrowed this stuff from somewhere.” He chuckled as he headed back inside with a wave to his friend.

“Oh my gosh… and I thought you were cute before, baby girl.” Scarlett teased causing an unexpected grin to creep into Livi’s face.
