Who's Pranking Whom?
"Come on! You know you lost!" the snow-white dragon called as a white tiger followed sulkily. The loss was a bet to see who could down the most soda in thirty seconds, and the dragon won by a whole liter."I'm coming, okay? Geez." the tiger protested, "Oh, and don't even think about trying to humiliate me, Blanco.""Fine, I won't, Ted." the dragon said with a chuckle. The tiger merely growled at the response. Knowing how crowded the place was on Black Friday, he was dreading what he had committed to. At least he could get back at Blanco for everything if this worked. He prayed it would.They walked down the mall's main walkway between stores until they came to the store they had agreed the other must enter if he lost. Little did Blanco know what was in store for him much, much later.The name of the store was Big Cubs and Kittens, meaning what it sounded like. The store, they knew, sold diapers for older kids and similar things. There was an ad in the paper for a new brand that was guaranteed to last twenty four hours between changes. It was a secret pleasure of Ted's to wear diapers, and one of his roommates, Blanco, had caught him staring at the picture too long. One taunt led to another, and the bet was made. The loser had to buy the new diapers and use them in both ways. Also, they were not to wear pants on their way out of the store.Ted took a deep breath and entered the store, Blanco playing the predetermined part of "authoritative figure." Having a fierce looking dragon glaring at anyone who dared stare too long, the pressure was taken off Ted a bit. After all, this was just a bet, not purposeful humiliation. Though, Ted knew, Blanco would jump at the chance to make a bit of fun.I hope this goes as planned. Ted thought. Before they had come here, Ted had gotten a text through to his friend and other roommate, Havlik. The text was formatting the plan they had for him, which involved the diapers. The trick was, first, for Blanco to win the bet and for Ted to end up wearing diapers. Then, Havlik would "stumble upon" the results of the prank, asking them what's going on, and have Blanco explain. Then, an argument would suddenly break out over how Blanco couldn't have possibly won, the dragon assuming that they were accusing him of cheating. The bet takes place, and Blanco wins, again. Then, after having drunk all that soda, Ted and Havlik knew that Blanco was stubborn about missing out on any fun and the dragon would hold his own urine for hours on end. The trick was to have the reptile wet himself, and they all three left the store in diapers.Good thing Ted and
Havlik enjoyed wearing diapers. They just wanted to get back at Blanco and, hopefully, have the dragon join the other two in diaper-wearing fun. Havlik and Ted couldn't wait to show the dragon how awesome diapers are.Ted approached the diapers that were specified on the newspaper and grabbed the size that he knew fit him, also making sure to grab the biggest pack available: a "Long Winter Pack" of 500 diapers. It was said that this amount can last a whole family of diaper wearers for months. Blanco gave a questioning look at the sureness of Ted's choice, so the tiger kept acting along his role in the plan. "What? It's like you've never been here before." he joked, not cracking a smile. The dragon bought it, preparing a taunt."Oh looky here! We have a babyfur!" he shouted. This being a store where babyfurs tend to congregate, no one was amused by this, and Blanco was left looking around for people that were laughing at Ted. Ted merely grabbed the dragon's wrist and twisted it hard enough to elicit a yelp from the reptile."Taunt me again and I'll break your wrist." he threatened, his eyes and stripes glowing a color similar to blue so bright and pale to be almost white, adjusting the grip so Blanco was forced to look at the tiger, "Got it?""Sorry." Blanco said. Ted merely smiled and let go."Well, let's pay for these things already!" the tiger exclaimed.They went to the counter and paid for the diapers, the cashier seeming to have recognized Ted, striking up conversation, and Blanco had to suppress a taunt and a smirk. Ted then went to where he knew the changing room was, in the back of the store, and changed into one of the diapers, throwing his pants to Blanco. "You're at least carrying my pants." Ted told the dragon as the tiger walked out, wearing the thickest diaper the feline had ever seen. "Well, let's go.""What's the rush?" the dragon asked.Ted gave him that "are you stupid?" look, "Video games, it's Saturday." he said. The dragon's ears perked at this and immediately seemed to forget the tiger's attire, challenging Ted to a race."Last one to the car's a rotten egg!" he yelled, leaping off the ground and taking advantage of the extreme height of the mall that allowed for flying. He seemed to be the only creature that cared to do that right now, and was alone in the air. The cold does make flying uncomfortable for dragons, but Blanco doesn't even care about temperature.Ted took off running, preparing to dodge crowd after crowd of shoppers in a mad dash to beat the dragon. He came across the
first row of shoppers directly out side the store, ignoring the odd looks and leaping over the crowd. He landed on his feet, only taking half a second to recover from the landing, before taking off again. He was glad that he had the athletic ability that he did, allowing him to do these things with ease. He saw a thicker crowd up ahead that he knew he couldn't jump over. He began to tunnel his vision at the one spot he calculated would get him where he need to go.He flicked a mental switch, and his stripes began to glow again. He pushed a mental button and his entire form phased through the crowd, not touching any of them, and rematerializing at the other side. He was thankful he learned how to take his clothes with him. That could've been much more embarrassing otherwise. He was also thankful he had learned to run wearing really thick diapers, and managed to match Blanco's speed, phasing to compensate the distance. He made it to the door, phasing through it, and ran full speed to the car, ignoring all the comments and looks thrown his way. He didn't really care. He just wanted to beat Blanco to the car. And he did. He turned off the mental switch, returning to looking like a semi-normal teenage white tiger that wears massively thick diapers.Ted hopped in the driver's seat, casually waiting for the dragon. Blanco appeared a few seconds later, looking defeated, "Hey!" he called, "Why is it you always beat me in races?""Because you beat me at every bet we make. I'm still wearing evidence of that." Ted responded as the dragon sat in the car. The tiger had put the diapers in the back and Blanco tossed him his pants."It just occurred to me that your pants wouldn't fit over all that padding, anyway." Blanco said. Ted threw the pants in the back seat and started the car, noticing, in his peripheral vision, how much Blanco was looking towards the diaper box. Maybe he does like diapers.The ride home was quiet. Blanco obviously wasn't in the mood to make fun, and Ted was enjoying the rare silence that follows said fact.When they got home, they were casual about everything. Ted grabbed the padding and the pants, and Blanco fidgeted idly with his tail as the pair approached the door to their apartment.They unlocked the door and went into the house, Ted casually throwing the diapers and jeans onto the couch and hanging the car keys on their hook. Havlik, an arctic fox with baby blue highlights in his fur, then walks in and sees Ted's appearance, raising a planned, confused eyebrow. Ted winked, being behind Blanco, to tell Havlik the plan had worked so far. Blanco, unknowing of said plan, spoke up."Ted lost a bet." he explained.Havlik replied, "Oh? And what was this bet?""I saw Ted staring at an ad in the paper this morning for some diapers, and began having a bit of fun. He got offended, and we ended up making a bet. Heck if I know how we got to the nature of the bet, but the loser had to buy and wear the diapers." explained the dragon."For both reasons." Ted added, smiling. He switched to a straight face when Blanco looked at him."So let me get this straight, Ted lost in a bet against you for stakes that high? The heck were you freaks doing?" Havlik asked."Drinking soda within a time frame of thirty seconds." explained Ted, "Blanco drank four liters and I only drank three.""There's no way Blanco beat you at that!" Havlik exclaimed."Are you calling me a cheater?!" Blanco yelled. Ted winced. He waited a second, and, while the arguing continued, nothing else happened. Strange, he didn't show up.Blanco had already gotten out more sodas. Ted still couldn't believe that they had so much immediately available. Or how gullible Blanco was. The dragon counted, and yelled go, and the furs began drinking.Ted quickly topped off his first liter, ensuring he wouldn't be declared loser. He then felt the need to urinate, and, being used to it already, went ahead and used the diaper. We watched as Havlik casually sipped the coke, not intending to finish anytime soon. Blanco, however, was setting himself up for wetting his pants. He had already drunk four liters this morning, and was now adding to that without using the bathroom in between. Ted watched his draconian roommate drink liter after liter, setting a personal best at six liters when time was up. He looked full, and Ted knew the plan was working beautifully. Soon the dragon would be joining his friends in enjoying diapers for their intended purpose. Ted then had an idea.Blanco began celebrating his victory while Havlik grabbed a diaper and went to change into it.When Havlik came out, he looked positively babyish. He already wore childish shirts, and now he was wearing a diaper that not only was thick, but had childish designs on it. (Yes, Ted had grabbed the BF/DF pack. That stands for Babyfur/Diaperfur, mind you.) Havlik grabbed Ted's keys and ran to the car, Blanco right behind him. Ted caught up, yelling, "Shotgun!" and phasing through the dragon to hop in the passenger seat."Hey! Not fair!" Blanco protested. Ted held
the door open to respond."You can breathe white fire and fly, and I'm unfair?" the tiger asked. The dragon merely harrumphed and climbed in the back, digging out his headphones and putting them in his ears. Perfect. Ted thought.Havlik started the car and began to drive. "I have a new idea for Blanco's return to diaperhood." Ted said, "We force him in a diaper, and I know he won't resist, and then tickle him 'til he wets the diaper heavily. These things hold a lot, and they keep your skin dry enough that you don't need to worry about rashes. We should buy some baby powder though, to be sure.""Getting off topic." Havlik reminded, "But that's a great plan, provided what you said is true. You really think he likes diapers?""At this red light, look at him in the mirror.""His foot is tapping nervously and he keeps glancing at the Ultra Soak Ups.""I know, the poor kid wants to use the diapers, but is afraid to act on it.""Good thing we can remedy that.""Wait," Ted said, "why are we going to the store? We already have enough diapers to last three someones like Blanco for a year! Padded and happy!""Why Blanco?""He uses the bathroom the most. Also, he wets the bed. That's why he isn't always happy in the mornings. I stumbled upon that a few weeks ago." Ted explained. He honestly felt sorry for the reptile. The poor thing must feel so alone being his age and wetting the bed. Problem was, Ted did to. He wet the bed and had assumed the solution would be absorbent undergarments, and he had suggested the same to the dragon who reluctantly accepted the offer. The dragon didn't seem happy about it, if his attitude the next morning had anything to show for it."So we're going to try and make him happy?""I don't see why we would do anything else." Ted said with a smile."As for why we're actually going to store, I thought it would be fun to throw in some pacifiers and puppy bottles." Havlik said."Huh, never tried those before.""Neither have I, which is why I'm going off thought instead of knowledge."They arrived at the mall a short ten minutes later. Ted expertly ignored the odd stares as Blanco hopped out of the car. Havlik followed suit after putting some of the diapers in the backpack he brought, and they went inside. Blanco
fidgeting as they walked inside.When they got into the store, Havlik walked straight to the aisle he knew contained pacifiers and bottles, Blanco having switched from walking to being dragged by Ted at some point, the dragon whimpering uncharacteristically.Havlik grabbed three pacifiers, the guards being white, pale blue, and baby blue. Then, he grabbed three generic puppy bottles and went to pay for them, doing so quickly. Havlik then dragged Blanco into the changing room.Ted followed, pinning the dragon to the ground quickly, Blanco protested the whole time, "What are ya'll doing?! I need to use the bathroom real bad!" Havlik quickly diapered the dragon, setting his pants aside.Ted then proceeded to tickle the dragon. The dragon continued to squirm as he laughed, pleading to stop after feeling a warmth in the garment. "I'm wet! Happy now?!" he exclaimed, a smile on his face."Yes, I am." Ted said deviously, giggling. Helping the dragon to his feet. They left the store after Havlik put all of his purchases, and the pants that no longer fit their owner, in his backpack.Of course, they got odd looks, and they didn't really even care. They were happy hanging with each other, wearing diapers and knowing the other two didn't care and actually approved.They took their time getting to the car, and chatted up a storm about random topics, sounding like normal teenagers and looking the same from the waist up.On their way home, they blasted their stereo and listened to music, singing along to what they knew and generally having a good time. None of them could remember a time they were this happy.They got home still in high spirits, and walked through the front door to see their apartment complex's owner, Frostbite, reading a book in the living room. One could imagine the shock on their faces to see him here, of all places. He looked up as they came in, not seeming phased at all by their appearances. His only comment, "So how many people did you freak out dressed like that?" he said with a chuckle."Pretty much everyone at the mall." Havlik shrugged. He was the only one who wasn't shocked at the tiger's showing in their house. Frostbite had already caught him wearing diapers, and the tiger explained to the fox why Havlik, Blanco, and Ted were chosen to live together and even accepted into the apartment to begin with."How can you be so casual?" Blanco said to Frostbite. The tiger lifted an eyebrow interrogatively, so the dragon continued, "We're standing wearing
diapers and no pants, and you're completely unfazed.""There's good reason for that." Frostbite simply said, "You three live here and together because ya'll make the perfect team. I don't group furs who don't get along." Frostbite put his book in a black and purple backpack beside him."And what about the diapers?" Blanco pressed.Frostbite merely smiled, "I knew about that the whole time. Even before you would admit it to yourself." Blanco was a little taken aback by this, and got frustrated."But I never liked diapers until about a week ago!" he yelled, ignoring the fact that he just admitted to liking diapers."You're missing the point," Frostbite continued, "I'm able to see certain secrets, making it hard to hide things from me. I get most of that skill from this Amulet of Truth around my neck." the older tiger motioned to the snowflake-shaped amulet on a icy white chain that was glowing faintly, "That sentence you just said," Frostbite calmly said, "was a lie, even though you thought it the truth. I know that because I know this amulet. It does weird things in different situations. Furthermore, I don't care that you like diapers. In fact, I share your preference for absorbent undergarments."Blanco was speechless. Frostbite wore diapers? Frostbite took the silence as permission to continue."You'll find a surprise in the game room, which is the only reason I was here. Darned book ruined the surprise." and with that, Frostbite dissipated in a cloud of white mist and was gone.The white dragon was dumbfounded. He looked at the ground to see a note left behind, giving off a cool mist and was cold to the touch.Blanco read it aloud, "Have you noticed that all three of you have white fur or scales? There's a reason for that too, and it isn't racial. To give you a hint, white is the symbol for purity.""I wonder why he didn't intercept our argument earlier today. He seems to intercept a lot of our arguments." Ted mused.Blanco read out the answer, leaving a shocked look on Ted's face, "P.S., I knew that argument was under control, so I bothered not in its affairs.""Well," Havlik said excitedly, "only thing left now's to check out that surprise!" The three hurried off into the game room, giggling like children the whole way...
