Prologue

It had been a few days since Autumn had gone to her dad's daycare where he worked, and spent a day with the little ones he taught. It certainly had been interesting, and embarrassing...wetting herself right in front of dad and being seen in a soaked pull-up by him was something that was going to be difficult to forget...however, at the same time, she was rather glad that he didn't punish her for it, and was fine with her curiosity getting the better of her. He even brought home a pack of fresh Furret pull-ups for Autumn that day, which made her feel a bit better...although Autumn still wasn't comfortable going without pants while wearing them whenever the Shiny Luxray was around. It didn't help that every day since then, Allen had teased her at least once or twice about the pull-ups, and made comments about her using Water Gun or Soak all over the place. Nothing mean-spirited, but it definitely made Autumn red in the face each time it happened.

Speaking of using Water Gun? Autumn had done that in her pull-ups a few times, but that was when it was just her and her Zoroark mother, Joy, at the house. Now, Joy did tease Autumn about it as well, but unlike Allen, she knew when to tone it down, and was a bit more understanding about Autumn's curiosity, even gladly changing the Shiny Shinx when need be. She did think it was silly that she was doing so for her eight-year-old, yes, but still...whatever Autumn preferred was perfectly fine with Joy.

That all being said, Autumn's winter break was nearing its end, as Saturday had come around. And for most of that mid-morning and part of the afternoon, Autumn had mostly been riding her bike around the neighborhood with friends, going off to the nearby pond and ice skating with humorous results, and talking about what they had done over break. During this time, Autumn had only come back to the house for lunch, and was allowed an extra hour to roam after that. Now, however, that time had ended, and right now, Autumn had just put her bike up for the day, and was walking inside the house, immediately being met by her father.

"Hey there, kit kat." Allen greets, this being a nickname for Autumn he had used often when she was in preschool and kindergarten. "Did you have fun with your little friends?" he asked, ruffling her head fur a bit.

"D-dad..." Autumn groans, already blushing a little. "Y-yes, i did. We mostly rode our bikes around...and did a little ice skating." she answered.

"Oh? Did that go well?" Allen asks.

"W-well, kinda...i'm mostly glad that no one had a camera." Autumn tells him with a nervous chuckle.

"Heh...got some work to do, huh?" Allen says, earning a nod from Autumn in response. "Eh...it's alright. Well, i'm glad you came back, because an idea just came to mind."

"Yes, dad?" Autumn wonders.

"I was thinking about inviting a few of the kids from daycare to have a sleepover for tonight." Allen tells her. "You seemed to get along with them well that day, and i figured you might want to see them again. What do you say?"

Autumn jumps a bit at what her dad says. "D-daycare kids? Uh...h-huh-huh..." the shiny lynx nervously chuckles, thinking about it for a few seconds. None of them knew of the fact that she liked and wore pull-ups, so she was a bit nervous about how they'd feel...but at the same time, they had been great company, especially Jacob and Casper. And her package of pull-ups was in a place out of sight, so...why worry about that? "S-sure." Autumn nods. "That'd be fine...Marina and Bianca have other plans, so i'd like someone to spend time with tonight." she tells her dad.

"Great! I was hoping that'd be your answer." Allen says, smiling at her. "I'll go and call up their parents in a minute...for now, feel free to do whatever you'd like. If you need your mom, she's upstairs in our bedroom watching TV at the moment." the Shiny Luxray informs her.

"Alright, dad." Autumn nods, smiling back as she begins to head off to the stairs.

"Oh...wait a second, Autumn." Allen calls out, making her stop and turn back to face him. "Do you need to go potty?"

Autumn begins to blush once more. "Um...k-k-kinda." she nods, her grape juice from lunch now starting to want to come out.

"Well, you'd better make it quick, sunshine." Allen teases. "Unless you don't feel like wanting to use the toilet..."

"I-i d-do!" Autumn stammers, her cheeks turning a bit more red as she starts running upstairs, Allen chuckling to himself at his daughter's embarrassment before heading to the living room.

Once upstairs, Autumn darted for the hallway bathroom, and ran inside, sliding her pants and Pull-Up down and sitting on the toilet, emptying her bladder.

"W-why must dad be like that?" she groans to herself, wishing he would at least tone it down a little bit. She certainly hoped he wasn't gonna be like this when the daycare Pokemon he invited showed up later...

Part 1

A few hours pass by, and for the most part, it's a typical afternoon at the Starbend household...nothing of interest to mention. However, at around 5:30 PM, while Joy is on the phone, ordering the pizza for her family and the daycare kids coming over to eat that night, a knock at the front door catches Allen's attention. Autumn, who is sitting in the living room, gets up and looks around the corner to peek as her father opens the door, and greets whoever's there. Sure enough, it's the kids from Allen's daycare, along with a few of their parents. She's able to count about five, and quickly recognizes two of them right off the bat - The Shiny Helioptile, Casper, and the Oshawott, Jacob. Seeing them again put a smile on Autumn's face. As for the Espurr, the Growlithe, and the Mienfoo? She had seen them in her dad's class, but if she had heard him call out their names, she had long since forgotten.

"Come on in!" Allen tells the guests, Autumn getting out of the way to make a bit more room as the Mienfoo runs all the way into the family room, the Espurr running right behind him.

"Hey, hey, hey, no running!" The Mienfoo's parent, a Shiny Mienshao, calls out, going after her kid, causing Autumn to giggle. One of the other kids overhears that...

"AUTUMN!"

Her name suddenly being called causes the shiny lynx to jump a bit, and just as she turns to her left, Casper is already running up to her, stopping just in time before he tackles her by accident. "Nice ta see ya 'gain! It was nice of your daddy to invite us!" Casper exclaims, wrapping his arms around Autumn.

"Eheheh...y-yeah, it was." Autumn chuckles, only now remembering how energetic the little lizard could be. "Nice to see you again. Have you been good?"

"Yep!" Casper rapidly nods, Jacob now coming over to the two mons.

"Why, hello, Jacob!" Autumn greets, quickly recognizing him.

"Hey, Autumn! I'm glad i'm here...now i can finally show you the robotic Dragonite i have!" Jacob tells her.

"Oh? Did you forget to bring it to school that day?" Autumn wonders, now getting up off the floor.

"Yeah..." Jacob nods. "But not this time! Wait till ya see him roar!" he exclaims. "Where's your room at?"

"Just up the stairs, where all the bedrooms are." Autumn informs him, the Growlithe now walking past them.

"All right!" Casper and Jacob cheer, both of them quickly running up stairs, Autumn following them up. That's when she feels another pang in her bladder...and the shiny lynx decides a quick minute or two to relieve her bladder won't hurt. So she goes to the hallway bathroom and gets that need tended to.

Meanwhile, Casper and Jacob quickly figure out where Autumn's bedroom is...the one to the right of the hallway closet. They run over to her bed and hop onto it, taking their seats and waiting for Autumn to arrive, safely assuming she needs to go potty. As he waits, Casper looks around at Autumn's room. There were a few cool-looking toys that he saw, but some of them looked a bit too girly for his liking. The TV also looked cool, and so did the laptop, which made Casper jealous...his parents refused to let him have a computer, saying he was too young. Maybe Autumn would let him try? Perhaps, but he'd have to wait for her to arrive...

He then takes a look over at her closet, the door to that being wide open...and something that he sees inside quickly catches his attention. An open pack of Furret-themed Pull-Ups, rather similar to those that his older brother wears to bed.

"W-what the?" he utters, going over to take a closer look, just to make sure his eyes weren't fooling him.

"Casper, what are you doing?" Jacob asks, looking over to see what he was up to.

"I'm looking at something." Casper replies, staring at the package for a few seconds...sure enough, these were Pull-Ups.

"Uh, Jacob?" the Shiny Helioptile utters, turning back to face the little otter. "Did Autumn ever tell you she had potty problems?"

"Potty problems?" Jacob wonders, thinking about the time at daycare they had together. "Uh...n-not really."

Part 2

Both Casper and Jacob certainly found the Pull-Ups strange, but decided it would be polite until Autumn was back to ask about it. And 30 seconds later, the Shiny Shinx came walking into her room.

"Sorry for the wait, guys." Autumn tells them. "Had to go potty pretty badly...for a second there, i thought my bladder was never to going to empty out." she half-lies, looking down for a second to make sure the waistband of the pull-up she has on isn't sticking out. Thankfully, that isn't the case.

"Jeez...well, you shouldn't hold it in too long." Jacob responds. "Mommy always says that doing that will damage your bladder, and then you have to do potty trainin' all ovah 'gain. I dunno what she means by that, but...i don't wanna find out."

"I...don't really understand that either, Jacob." Autumn says. "I'm usually good about going potty when i need to, but, every now and then, i slip up and forget...or i become too focused on a game or a cartoon or something."

"That happens to me too, so don't be embarrassed." Casper tells her. "Speaking of which...is that why you have Pull-Ups in your closet?"

"W-what?!" Autumn shouts, quickly looking over at her closet, and blushing when she saw the package in full view. "O-oh, n-no...y-you saw?!"

"Me and Jacob both." Casper nods. "Do you have accident issues, Autumn? Or is somethin' else going on?"

Autumn was about to panic, right up until Casper asked that question. She couldn't lie to them that they weren't hers, as she didn't have any siblings...but there was another lie Autumn thought they would buy.

"I...i-i do have accidents, Casper and Jacob." Autumn slowly nods. "B-but...only at night."

Jacob blinks. "O-only at night?"

"Well, Jacob...i'm a bit of a bedwetter." Autumn tells him, nervously chuckling afterwards. "So, until i go dry for a whole week or two, i have to wear pull-ups to bed. And...my mom or dad will put them on me at bedtime." she lies.

"Dang...that's a shame." Casper utters. "I've never wet the bed before, but quite a few of my classmates aren't so lucky."

"Yeah..." Jacob frowns. "I mean, i wet the bed for a couple of weeks after potty training, but that was it."

"Mm-hmm...and wait, you say your parents put them on for you?" Casper wonders. "Aren't you, like...eight? nine?"

"I am eight, Casper, yes." Autumn nods. "I've proven i can slide them on myself...my forelegs are a bit longer than a usual Shinx's. But despite that, my parents insist on putting them on for me. Then again, they also pick out my pajamas at bedtime, so maybe it's just a mom or dad thing." she shrugs.

"It probably is...mine also get me dressed at bedtime." Casper tells Autumn.

"Mine, too." Jacob nods.

"I see..." Autumn utters, breathing a sigh of relief that her lie wasn't found out. So far... "Well, i'm glad you guys don't think it's funny. But...enough of that. Who wants to play Jenga?"

"I do! I do!" Casper exclaims, raising his right arm.

"Yay! Jenga!" Jacob cheers, quickly raising his left arm up.

Their reactions make Autumn giggle. "My, my, you two are certainly excited..." she remarks, before heading into her closet to get the Jenga box out, turning to face the shelves over to the right in the event that the back of her pull-up stuck out while bending over. After getting the Jenga box out, the Shiny Shinx stands up and heads back over to Casper and Jacob, getting all the blocks out, and eager to see which one of them would end up winning...there was still pizza on the way, yes, but Autumn thought this would be a quick appetizer before the real fun after dinner.

Part 3

The game of Jenga was as fun as Autumn, Jacob and Casper had hoped...and a bit tense, too. There were a couple of moments early on, particularly with moves Jacob made, that it looked like the tower would completely topple over before it started to look really impressive. Luckily, that didn't happen then...however, it was gonna fall at some point, and it was during one of Autumn's moves that it did.

"Jenga!" the three of them exclaim.

"Dang it..." Autumn utters afterward. "Well, Casper...you were the last one to complete a turn before it fell, so you're the winner."

"YES! YES!" Casper cheers, getting up and starting to dance around a bit. But that only lasts about 10 to 15 seconds before a few sudden, sharp pangs make the lizard put his paws to his pants, and he realizes just how badly he needs to go. He'd been holding it in since before the game started, but he figured he could make it through, and he had...but would he be able to make it entirely?

"Oh, dear...you don't look good, Casper." Autumn says.

"N-no...no, no, no, no, no!" Casper shouts, before suddenly sprinting off to the nearby bathroom, both Autumn and Jacob watching from a distance, hoping he's able to make it in time. He pushes the door open, but just as he heads inside, he suddenly stops. While neither Autumn nor Jacob can hear any sounds, they both have a pretty good idea as to what has just happened.

"Aww...Poor Casper." Jacob utters, getting off the bed and heading over to him.

"Yeah..." Autumn nods, following Jacob. "Casper? Y-you okay?"

"W-w-why..." Casper utters, blushing in embarrassment as he looks down at the rapidly growing wet patch on his pants. He hated every bit of how his accident felt, but no matter how much the tears in his eyes welled up, he was not going to let them come out. He feels a paw poke him just as he finishes wetting himself.

"C-Casper?" Autumn calls out. "Did...did you?"

"Ugh...y-yes, Autumn." Casper slowly nods, sniffling. "'Member what you and me said 'bout...focusing too much on a game?"

"Mm-hmm." Autumn nods. "So that's what happened?"

"Mostly. I already had ta go before the game of Jenga started, but i thought i could make it 'til after the game." Casper tells her. "I managed to hold it...but as you see, not long enough to make it to the potty."

"Aww...well, it happens sometimes, Casper." Autumn begins to pet him. "Why don't we go downstairs and tell my dad about what happened? No worries, he won't laugh..."

"O-okay." Casper slowly nods, and with that, Autumn leads him downstairs while Jacob decides to stay up and wait, going ahead and using the potty during this time, not wanting what happened to Casper to happen to him. Autumn and Casper see Allen in the living room and tell him about what happened. The Shiny Luxray lets Casper know everything's alright, and that accidents happen...but does give him a reminder not to hold it in so long next time. After that, he takes Casper upstairs to the master bedroom to get cleaned up, Autumn returning to her bedroom to be with Jacob.

"What'd he say?" Jacob wonders.

"Dad let him know it was fine." Autumn says to the otter. "He's currently getting Casper cleaned up..."

"That's good." Jacob nods. "You're lucky ta have such nice parents. Mine aren't as easy-goin' about accidents."

Before Autumn can respond to that, she sees out of the corner of her eye, the door to her bedroom being pushed open, and Casper comes on in. Both her and Jacob take a look...his shirt is fine, and his velcro shoes seemed to survive, which was good...however, there was definitely an absence of pants, and catching Autumn by slight surprise was the fact that the Helioptile was now wearing a Pull-Up, this one having a big print of a Resolute Keldeo with swords dotting the front, and an orange star serving as a wetness indicator.

"Hello, Casper..." Autumn greets.

"Hey." Jacob greets. "Mister Starbend didn't have any spare pants?"

Casper shakes his head. "He said this was all he had..." the lizard groans, slight rustling heard with each step he takes. "I don't care for it, but the only pants i have ta cover it are soaked...and so are my underwear. But even if they dry tonight, i don't get 'em back 'til in the morning."

"That sucks..." Autumn frowns. "But hey, at least it's just for one night. And i'm sure you won't hold it in for a while like that again, right?"

"No, i won't." Casper shakes his head. The three of them then hear a sound from downstairs...that being the doorbell ringing. Their eyes all light up, knowing what that certainly meant...

"PIZZAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" they all shout, before running to the stairs and heading down, ready to eat.

Part 4

It gets a bit chaotic as Joy brings the pizza boxes in, but her and Allen quickly get them to settle down, assuring them that there was plenty for everyone. So the kids patiently wait for the pizzas to be cut, this taking about two minutes or so, before it's plated. And once it is, everyone goes to take their seats. Joy, Allen, Autumn, Casper and Jacob all eat at the dining room table, while the other three youngsters all eat in the living room as there is only so many chairs. Plenty of napkins are provided, however, so that they don't make a mess.

The Starbends are quick to finish their pizza, however, Casper and Jacob are taking a little longer to eat theirs. In spite of that, Autumn decides to excuse herself from the table and go wash her paws, before heading to the living room to see how the others are getting along. These were students of her dad's that she barely knew, so why not get to know them better while she had the chance?

"Hi, guys!" Autumn greets.

"Hey there!" They all greet back in unison.

"Are you Autumn?" the Espurr asks.

"Yep, that's my name." Autumn nods. "What's yours, little Espurr?"

"Iris!" she answers.

"My name's Daniel." the Mienfoo tells her, swinging his arms around for a few seconds. "And i gonna be a great boxer one day, just like daddy!"

"Hehe...well, you've got a long way to go there, bud." Autumn chuckles.

"I only four, okay?" Daniel replies.

"My name's Elliott." the Growlithe greets. "The biggest, and toughest kid of Mr. Starbend's class! There isn't anything that can hurt me, or make me cry."

"Oh, really?" Autumn asks.

"Yeah! Just ask Daniel here." Elliott tells her.

"It's true." Daniel nods. "Once, i was swingin' around a set of toy nunchucks, and i accidentally popped him in the nose. He didn't even yelp."

"Yikes...that is pretty tough, alright." Autumn says. "If that were me in Elliott's place, i don't know how long i'd be crying. My pain tolerance is pretty low..."

"Yeah...not everyone can be as tough as me." Elliott boasts.

Autumn rolls her eyes and ignores it, deciding to move on from that. "Do you like your pizza?"

"Mm-hmm!" Daniel nods, almost finished with his. "Pepperoni's my favorite!"

"I do..." Iris says, taking the last bite of hers.

"I certainly do!" Elliott exclaims. "Say, when Casper and Jacob come in, would you like to watch a movie?"

"Yeah!" Iris and Daniel say in unison.

"A movie sounds fun!" Autumn cheers. "We can decide to watch when they come in."

"Alright!" Elliott nods, finishing his last slice as Autumn goes to grab the remote to turn the TV on.

Part 5

A couple more minutes pass, and Casper and Jacob are finished with their pizzas, the two of them running to the living room right after. With everyone gathered together, it's time to choose a movie! And the one that they choose...is Jungle Emperor Leo. Now, none of them had seen or heard of this movie before, but to some of them, the thumbnail with the Shinx cub looked cute, and the description did sway Elliott over, so they decided to give it a try.

Surprisingly, it was a better movie than they expected. Almost as good as The Lion King, in fact. And it didn't take very long for the kids to become quite invested in it...for a few of them, including Autumn and Elliott, it was to the point that they didn't feel the need to go potty until the pangs became rather sharp, which would be about 40 minutes in. Normally for them, this would be a quick run to the bathroom and back, however, everyone else needed to go as well, and the bathroom downstairs, as well as the two upstairs in the hallway and master bedroom, quickly became occupied.

The downstairs bathroom would have a line, so Autumn decided going upstairs would be the better option, the Shinx breaking out into a potty dance as soon as she gets up there. Daniel comes out a few seconds later, and quickly makes room for Autumn to take her turn. But just as she steps inside, her bladder can no longer hold back, and a Water Gun attack in her Pull-Up commences.

"Haahh...d-damn it...n-not again." she mutters, going red in the face as a hissing sound could be heard. No one else was around to hear it, but once again, Autumn found herself having to hide her accident from kids that were half her age. For now, she just let her Pull-Up contain the whole accident, her bladder completely emptying 15 seconds later. Thank Arceus her pants were covering it up...With that, Autumn turned around, knowing it was time to get changed...but just as she was making a left to her room, she bumped into someone who came in out of nowhere running, and fell back onto her butt.

"H-hey, watch it!" Autumn shouts. 

"S-sorry, Autumn..." a familiar voice replies. "I was j-just...u-umm..."

Autumn slowly gets back up, and to her surprise, Elliott is standing right there, red in the face. And that's when the lynx notices a big wet patch on the Growlithe's pants.

"E-Elliott?" Autumn utters. "D-did you..."

But before she can finish, Elliott quickly heads over to her and puts a paw on her mouth to shush her. "L-look...d-don't tell anyone about this, okay?" he asks. "I was last in line d-downstairs, and i...couldn't hold it all the way."

After saying that, he takes his paw off, and all Autumn can do is nod. "Y-yes, Elliott." she tells him. "Promise."

"Alright. Better not forget it, or else." the Growlithe warns, before walking into Autumn's bedroom to hopefully find fresh underwear and pants that fit him, causing her to let out a groan as she follows him in.

"Oh, no...how am i going to get changed out of this without Elliott finding out?" Autumn wonders to herself.

Part 6

"Wait a minute..." Autumn thinks of one method that could work...but she didn't know how Elliott would react. Nonetheless, it was worth giving it a try. She followed him into her room, and quickly saw Elliott looking for any spare clothes.

"Ugh...they're all too small for me." the Growlithe groans.

"Need any help, Elliott?" Autumn spoke up.

Elliott quickly turns around. "Y-yes, i do...do you have any spare clothes that'll fit?"

"Hmm...i'm afraid not." Autumn replies. "Well, except for one thing..."

"What is it?" Elliott wonders.

"You won't like this suggestion...but Pull-Ups are all that we have to my knowledge." Autumn responds.

Elliott's cheeks go red. "W-w-what? N-no! S-surely not!"

"I'm afraid so." Autumn replies, before walking up to him and patting his head. "Sorry, but, my dad never really keeps any spare supplies on hand here at the house...other than the Pull-Ups. And the ones that'll fit you are downstairs in one of the closets. If you need help finding them, ask my dad."

"B-but Autumn..." Elliott whines.

"I know...i know it can be embarrassing to have to wear such garments after you're potty trained." Autumn says. "My dad won't laugh...and neither will i. I wear Pull-Ups to bed myself, believe it or not."

Elliott's shame was replaced by a bit of confusion. "W-wait, what?"

Autumn begins to blush herself. "Yeah...even though i'm eight, some of us big kids don't get fully trained at night for quite a long time. Ask your parents for more on how that works. If i don't wear my bedtime Pull-Ups, the sheets will be soaked. So until i go dry for a whole week, that's how it is." the Shiny Shinx lies rather convicingly. "And look at Casper...he's in Pull-Ups for the rest of the night because of an accident, and you aren't laughing."

Elliott sighs. "B-but, with him, it's different. I'm supposed to be the toughest kid of the whole bunch..."

"Having to wear a Pull-Up for one night isn't going to take that distinction away from you." Autumn assures him. "If anyone decides to laugh at you, come let either me or my parents know. They'll deal with them quickly."

The Growlithe sighs again. "Fine...but only for one night!" he shouts, before taking off and heading downstairs.

"Oh, boy...i hope he's not in a sour mood the rest of the night." Autumn says to herself, before quietly heading to her closet to get changed out of her soaked Furret Pull-Up into a fresh one. While her talk with Elliott did seem to calm him down a bit, the last thing he said to her, particularly the way he said it, did leave her with a bit of concern.

Part 7

Once Elliott got downstairs, he shyly walked up to Allen and told him of his predicament, so the Shiny Luxray quickly took the Growlithe to get changed into a fresh Pull-Up, this one being blue in color with a print of a Prinplup and bubbles dotting the front, a mist cloud serving as a wetness indicator. "At least it has a Pokemon i like," was all he could say. And it was a Pokemon with a lot of pride...kinda like him. He was still nervous about what the other kids would say once they saw his underwear for the night, though...however, for the most part, in spite of his status of being the toughest Pokemon in Allen's class, they were mostly re-assuring, especially Casper.

Daniel, however, would be the lone exception at first, cracking a few jokes at Elliott's expense, and deciding this should be enough to pass the declaration of toughest Pokemon over to him. However, this would not last long, as Elliott would inform Joy about the Mienfoo's behavior, and the Zoroark would go over to Daniel, landing two swats on his butt, and warning him that if he continued on, the next swats would be sharper. That would be enough to humble Daniel...at least, for now, and after apologizing to Elliott, they would all have tonight's dessert - chocolate lava cakes. Other than a couple of the little ones making a mess, particularly Jacob, which is to be expected with kids that young, nothing too interesting or noteworthy happened here.

After they finished, and the faces of Jacob, Elliott and Iris were wiped clean, upstairs to Autumn's room they ran. The real fun could now begin...but how to start things off? That would be a bit of a dilemma. Sure, Autumn had plenty of toys, but most of them were more on the girly side of things, some of which too much for the boys' tastes. And with the score being four boys to two girls...yeah, maybe one or two of them could be swayed over, but today's selection of toys would be a bit limited.

Jacob immediately knew what he wanted to do, but just as he was about to raise up one of his little arms...

"PILLOW FIGHT!!!" Elliott, Casper and Daniel exclaim simultaneously.

"W-w-what?" Autumn utters. "N-no...what if we break something?"

"Don't worry, we won't!" Casper assures her, Elliott grabbing one pillow and Daniel grabbing the other, the Mienfoo quick to land a good swing on Elliott, managing to send the Growlithe rolling like a curled up Sandshrew into Autumn's closet.

"Ooh...i bet he felt that." Iris utters. Not wanting to be left out, her and Jacob both run into the closet to see if there's any other pillows in there.

"Oh, dear..." Autumn sighs. "K-kids, s-stop!" she shouts, trying to gain control of them. However, this would do nothing.

"Take this, Daniel!" Elliott shouts, charging towards the Mienfoo ready to land a swing of his own...however, Daniel blocks it just in time, and a bit of a pillow sword fight ensues between the two.

"Hey, Jacob, what's that?!" Iris shouts, pointing towards the ceiling.

"What?" Jacob utters, looking to where Iris is pointing...only for the Espurr to give him a good whack across the face.

"Haha! You fell for it!" she taunts.

"Grr...i'll show you!" Jacob growls, smacking her back with his own pillow. They move for Casper to run in and see if there's another pillow for him, before beginning to hit each other back and forth.

"Oh, man...what do i do?" Autumn thinks to herself. It didn't take very long for things to desecend into utter chaos...fortunately, nothing had been broken so far.

Part 8

"Screw it, i'll join in." Autumn shrugged after a few seconds, not even thinking to move anything out of the way. And just as she was about to see if there was any pillows, a sudden smack to her face sent her onto the floor.

"H-hey, watch it!" she cries out.

"Oops...sowwy, Autumn." Jacob tells her, Autumn quickly grabbing his pillow before he can. "W-what?"

Autumn then smirks at Jacob. "Heh...i may like your company, Jacob, but since you hit me with this, it's mine now." Autumn declares. "But i know where there might be a few more!"

Before Jacob can ask, Autumn lands a good swing to his back, sending the Oshawott into her closet.

"Oof!" he exclaims, before giggling and climbing up the shelves to try and retrieve another one, Autumn in the mean time landing good swings on both Iris and Daniel, the two of them rolling like curled up Sandshrews as well. Daniel would be sent into a wall, and Iris would go into the toy chest.

"Ha! That don't hurt!" Daniel declares, before charging at Autumn with his pillow.

"Ow, my arm..." Iris utters, then putting on her best mean face. "I'll make you pay for that!"

"U-uh-oh..." Autumn utters, now trying to think of a counter-attack against the two of them charging her. What she didn't count on, however, was Elliott sneaking up from behind, and smacking her in the back with his pillow, sending the Shiny Shinx towards Iris and Daniel.

"Oh no!" she shouts, unable to get up before Iris and Daniel land return smacks on her with their pillows.

"Serves ya right!" Daniel taunts. "Right, Iris?"

"Yeah! Take that, Autumn!" Iris taunts, before running off.

"You can thank me for the assistance, fellas!" Elliott exclaims. "I was the one who snuck up from behind."

"Any time, crinklebutt." Daniel says with a smirk. "Just make sure not to use Soak all over the place while you're enjoying yourself, Elliott...okay?"

Elliott growls in response. "Oh, i'll shut you up...where's a diuretic when ya need one?" he mutters, before tossing his pillow right at Daniel and managing to land a hit, accidentally knocking Casper to the floor in the process, although it comes very close to knocking a globe off of Autumn's dresser. The pillow fight between the six continues for now, although they begin to get a bit too rowdy, and near misses in regards to knocking objects to the floor or back against the wall begin happening more frequently...

Part 9

Another minute passes by, and the kids are continuing to be rowdy as ever. Nothing is broken as a result of a pillow fight, but a few toys have been knocked to the floor, and their yelling is getting a little too loud. This comes to an almost immediate stop, however, as the door to the bedroom suddenly bursts open, and Joy walks in, the Zoroark looking rather unamused.

"What is going on here?" she demands, beginning to look around the room. "I'm hearing a bunch of bumping up against the walls in here..." Joy adds, noticing a few toys on the floor, and then the pillows that all the kids were holding.

"A pillow fight?" she utters.

"Uh-oh..." Daniel and Iris gulp.

"M-mom, i...kinda tried to calm them down at first." Autumn tries to explain.

Joy lets out a sigh. "Well, the pillow fight's over, kids. Go put them back in the closet." she orders, Autumn going to do so while the other kids just look at the Zoroark.

"Aww...but we was havin' fun." Elliott groans.

"Yeah!" Jacob nods. "Sure, we got a bit wild, but-"

"I said now!" Joy orders. "I do not want any toys or anything else to be broken..."

"Okay, okay!" Daniel responds, him and the others going to do as told, a bit intimidated by the Zoroark's tone.

"I suggest you find something else to do to entertain yourselves." Joy says. "And if i see any of you having another pillow fight, or something is broken...there's going to be a back porch or two painted red tonight. Do i make myself clear?"

"Y-yes, Miss Starbend!" Elliott rapidly nods. "T-that won't be necessary!"

"N-no worries, m-mom..." Autumn nods, nervously chuckling, the others simply nodding.

"Good." Joy says, before turning around and leaving the room.

"Jeez...your mom doesn't play around, does she, Autumn?" Casper asks.

"Not when it comes to misbehavior...or when playtime gets a bit too rough or wild." Autumn responds, before her face morphs into a grin. "But for more minor things...there's a few tricks i have up my sleeve to get her to let it slide."

"Oh? Like what?" Iris wonders.

"Yeah, tell us! I wanna see if i can use 'em on my parents!" Elliott exclaims.

Autumn giggles. "That's a secret that i might whisper if none of you get spanked tonight." she says. "And we came close just now..."

"Yeah..." Casper nods. "So, you'll only tell us if we're good the rest of the sleepover?"

"I might, yeah." Autumn nods. "But we still got plenty of time to play left." she reminds them, before turning over to Jacob. "Hey, Jacob...how about you show off that robot Dragonite you've been talking about?"

"Oh, heck yeah!" Jacob exclaims, beginning to do a happy dance. "You guys are gonna love it, and all the cool stuff it can do!" he adds, before the little otter runs over to his backpack to take it out.

Part 10

It takes about a minute, but Jacob is able to dig the Dragonite off, and the kids are impressed by its appearance, all of them "oohing" and "aahing".

"See?!" Jacob exclaims, then taking out the remote and pressing a button, showing off the Dragonite's punch ability.

"Dang! In a boxing match with any of my plushies, none of them would stand a chance!" Autumn says.

"Same...very nice toy, Jacob!" Casper tells him, starting to clap.

"Thank you, Casper!" Jacob responds. "What'd you like to see it do first?"

"Hmm..." Casper begins to think. "Does it...have any X-ray vision?"

"Nope." Jacob shakes his head. "Why do you ask that?"

"Cause i was wonderin' if it could play tag." Casper suggests.

"Tag?" Jacob wonders. "That's what ya want it to do?"

"Considerin' how Autumn's mommy reacted to our pillow fight...i don't wanna be crazy. At least, not for a little while."

"Yeah." Autumn nods. "But your Dragonite can play tag with us. I'm sure there's a lot of cool things it can do, but let's wait a little bit, okay?'

"Well...alright." Jacob says. "I've never tried playing tag with it before, but i can try."

"Good!" Daniel exclaims. "Now...i'll decide who's it."

And with that, Daniel does the whole "Eeny, meeny, miny, moe" routine. Once he's finished with it...

"You're it, Elliott!" Daniel exclaims, pointing towards the Growlithe.

"M-me?" Elliott utters, before giving Daniel and the others a smirk.

"Uh-oh...w-why'd you choose him, Daniel?" Jacob asks. "I'll never outrun him!"

"You don't know that, Jacob." Daniel responds. "Now, everyone...run!"

As Elliott begins charging towards the others, Daniel, Autumn and the others begin running around the room, Jacob trying his best to control the Dragonite robot at the same time. It had a surprising amount of speed, but it was having trouble with trying not to run into the furniture, and as a result, it would quickly become the first one to be tagged by Elliott. Wouldn't take long for it to tag Autumn, who tripped over a stray toy while running around, and with that, the game of tag was on...

Part 11

The game of tag continues, with the one being "it" rapidly changing back and forth as the kids run around the room. Some of the tags are helped by one or more of them slipping and falling, that being how the robot Dragonite has gotten most of his...however, everyone is having fun, and things start to get a bit chaotic, but not as much as it did with the pillow fight earlier. So far, Casper and Jacob are tied for the most tags of anybody, though Autumn is quickly catching up with them.

However, the need to go to the bathroom eventually returns for a few of the kids, Autumn in particular...as she starts to slow down her running pace, making her a bit more vulnerable, and Elliott quickly takes advantage of it with a quick tag to her belly, but she's only it for a few seconds before tagging the robot Dragonite in its head. And she's not the only one to slow down, as Iris does the same, and Elliott suddenly stops as he's chasing Jacob, his cheeks going red before he quickly retreats to Autumn's closet.

"No...no-no-no-no-no..." he utters to himself, trying to hide as a hissing sound could be heard. This was his second accident of the night...he may have had protection this time, but it didn't make it any less embarrassing. And he hoped Daniel wouldn't be the one to find out about it, given how the Mienfoo reacted the first time.

"Hey, guys, where'd Elliott go?!" Casper exclaims, noticing the Growlithe's sudden absence.

"Hmm...i dunno." Daniel shrugs, before getting an idea. "Probably peed himself again, the big baby..." he guesses, chuckling.

"Not funny, Daniel..." Autumn utters, putting on a good scary face that makes Daniel flinch. "I dunno if he did, but i'm gonna zap that butt of yours if that is the case, and you start laughing again."

"Y-yes, Autumn..." Daniel replies, slowly nodding his head.

"I'll go look." Jacob says, the game of tag being put on pause as the Oshawott decides to look underneath Autumn's bed first, making her chuckle.

"I think his butt's a bit too big to fit under there, Jacob." Autumn says, feeling a bladder pang.

"Ya never know, Autumn..." Jacob replies, Iris now beginning to look in the dresser, while Autumn slowly heads for the closet, thinking that's where he was, while Daniel sneaks up from behind, smirking as he wiggles his fingers. He was gonna get the shiny lynx back for that threat...

Part 12

Autumn steps inside, and begins searching for Elliott.

"Elliott? Elliott? Where are you?" she calls out, beginning to look around. It was not as well lit in there as the sliding doors weren't as open as before, but in spite of that, Autumn thought she could make out of a familiar fur tuft.

However, she would have no time to ask Elliott what was wrong, before she suddenly felt a pair of hands grab her and pick her up, the fingers going underneath her shirt and digging into her tummy.

"H-hey, w-who's that!" Autumn exclaims. She looks down to see that those hands belong to no other than Daniel.

"Daniel! You put me down this instant!" she demands.

"Hehehe...you threatened to zap my butt just a minute ago, and you want me to do that?" Daniel chuckles, before beginning to spider his fingers all over her yellow tummy, the shiny lynx quickly beginning to giggle.

"Hehehehehehehehe! Dahahahaniehehehel! Stohohohohohohohop!" Autumn begins to plead between giggles, knowing that she still needs to pee. Hearing and seeing this makes Elliott decide to get up from where he was, Autumn noticing this.

"Ehehehelihihiohohohot! Cohohohome sahahahahave mehehehehehehehe!" Autumn asks, still giggling cutely. Elliott takes a look at the sight before him...Autumn being tickled relentlessly by Daniel, the Mienfoo having a smirk on his face the whole time. One charge and tackle of Daniel would get the shiny lynx out of this, yes...however, the Growlithe begins thinking of something else, remembering that he's still in need of a change.

"Hmm...maybe if i join in with Daniel, he won't ask where i run off to." he thought to himself. He smirks at Autumn, before slowly walking up to her.

"Elliott, what are ya doin?" Daniel asks, Elliott then pulling Autumn's shirt up over her head and completely off, and then grabbing one of her forelegs and lifting it up in the air, before getting up and close to her underleg...

...and beginning to lick at it.

"Elliott! EWW!" Daniel gags. "What are you doing? That's weird!"

Elliott looks over at Daniel, trying his best to conceal the wet Pull-Up. "Hey, i want to hear Autumn laugh, too!" he tells the Mienfoo, before going back to licking at Autumn some more.

"But isn't that...g-gross?" Daniel trails off, unsure as to what to think of Elliott doing this. "W-whatever, i guess...he's helping me, but, still..." he mutters to himself, continuing to tickle Autumn's tummy. "Man, dog Pokemon are gross, aren't they?"

"NOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!" Joining in and attacking her underleg would do the trick in getting Autumn's giggling to escalate to laughter, and trying to hold back the flood become more and more difficult. Casper, Iris and Jacob all saw this, and they were just as weirded out by what Elliott was doing as Daniel was at first. However, none of them stepped in to help Autumn out of her predicament, thinking it was not only funny to see, but also cute hearing Autumn laugh.

Autumn could still wave her other foreleg around, and her hind legs...but not much. And before long, trying to hold it in became too much, and the Shinx felt her Pull-Up starting to grow wet and warm...fortunately, she seemed to be laughing loud enough to conceal the hissing, but the feeling of wetting herself caused her cheeks to go red.

"Aww...who's a ticklish wittle Shinx? Who? Who is?" Daniel teases.

Part 13

"Ihihihihihi...IHIHIHI AHAHAHAHAHAHAM!" Autumn responds, only because she wants to get herself cleaned up quickly.

"That's right!" Daniel gloats, slowing down the pace he was tickling at, and finally stopping fifteen seconds later, along with Elliott. By now, Autumn had finished having her accident, and now faced the dilemma of getting herself changed without her lie being blown up once again.

"F...fi-finally..." Autumn utters as she catches her breath. While it most likely wouldn't be now, she was going to make sure Daniel got his just desserts before the night was over with.

"You okay, Autumn?" Elliott asks. "S-sorry about that...i just thought your laughter was cute, is al."

"It's...fine, Elliott." Autumn replies. Daniel and Elliot then both notice something: during the tickling session, the Shinx's pants had lowered a little, just enough to reveal the waistband of some rather familiar looking underwear. The Mienfoo begins to chuckle.

"My, my, Autumn...still having potty problems at your age?" Daniel teases. "Aren't ya supposed ta be older than all of us?"

Autumn's blood runs cold, and her face goes as red as a Magmar's cheeks. "S-shut up, Daniel!"

"He's, uh...not the only who sees." Elliott says, a bit confused. "What's with the pull-ups?"

"Huh? She's wearin' one now?" Jacob chimes in, overhearing the conversation. "You said you only wore those ta bed!"

"Yeah!" Casper adds. "You're hidin' somethin' from us, Autumn...and i don't like it. What's goin' on, here?"

Autumn is now trying her best to not let any tears out. As if having an accident thanks to being tickled wasn't bad enough, Jacob and Casper had now figured out she had lied to them earlier, and she was now boxed in...Iris was silent, but she was giving the shiny lynx a weird look of her own.

"What to do, what to do..." Autumn thinks to herself in her mind. "I don't know if they'll fall for another lie. But if they tell the truth, i'm either gonna be laughed at by one of them, or a few of them will want to take a step or two back in potty training themselves. And neither my parents, nor theirs, would be pleased about that, i imagine."

Part 14

Just then, Autumn thinks of another lie, this one also being somewhat believable.

"W-well...since it was getting close to...b-bedtime..." Autumn begins to explain.

"Yes?" Jacob wonders.

"I...went ahead and got into one early!" Autumn exclaims. "Yeah...that's it."

Daniel scoffs. "Yeah, that's totally it...you sure it's not just you wanting to be a lazy Shinx and not wantin' ta go to the bathroom all night, more concerned with fun?"

"Daniel!" Casper exclaims.

Autumn growls at that remark, the Shinx then balling up her left forepaw and starting to generate electricity, some sparks beginning to come out.

"What on earth are you even doing?" Daniel asks.

Autumn doesn't respond, then cocking her foreleg back, and taking a light swing at Daniel, managing to connect with his stomach. Shirt on or not, the Mienfoo received a pretty good zap.

"H-HEY!" Daniel shouts, the shock making him jump back a bit...

"Whoa!" Iris and Casper shout.

Daniel suddenly puts his hands to the front of his pants, and turns around. "I-i'll...i'll be right back!"

He then dashes off to the bathroom, the others now looking at Autumn, a bit concerned.

"H-hey...i wasn't actually going to hit him, okay? I have pretty good self-control." Autumn assures him. "I was only going to give him a little zap, and that was it."

"Oh...that's all?" Jacob asks.

"Yes, that's it." Autumn responds. "I tried to warn him, didn't i?"

Jacob nods. "Yes, you did..."

"He was asking for something like that." Iris says. "Maybe kung fu boy will keep his big mouth shut the rest of the night, or at least think before he speaks."

"Maybe..." Autumn says.

Just then, Elliott sprints out from the closet and out of the room.

"Elliott! Where are you going?" Autumn calls out.

"I'm...g-going to go downstairs for a minute! I'll be back!" Elliott responds, before running downstairs. The Growlithe had seized on the opportunity to go get a change while Daniel would most likely be unaware.

"What's with him?" Jacob wonders.

"I...i don't know." Autumn tells him. She knows what the real reason most likely is, but feels it would be best to not say anything about it. She is then reminded of how wet her own Pull-Up is.

"And, uh...i'm...going to need a minute myself." Autumn says, slowly walking back into the closet to try and change herself, Jacob, Casper and Iris looking at her a bit confused. But before they can ask what's wrong, the sliding door is slammed shut, and the shiny lynx gets to cleaning herself up.

Part 15

It doesn't take long for Autumn to get cleaned up, and once she's in a dry Furret Pull-Up, she balls up the wet one and gets out some more wipes to cover it up with, quickly running to dispose of it before anyone can ask. Unknown to her, Daniel had failed to make it in time, and his underwear and shorts ended up ruined.

"Dang it!" the Mienfoo shouts as he exits the bathroom, red in the face. "It was such a little zap...i didn't think it'd make me do...well, t-this." he utters, slowly heading downstairs while Autumn returns to her bedroom. He passes by Elliott on the way down, but is too ashamed about what he did to notice the fact that the Growlithe is in Pull-Ups, and lucky for him, Elliott doesn't notice his accident, running too fast to see anything.

Once the Growlithe returns, Autumn goes back to her closet, this time to get a game out. She asks the younger kids if they want to play Twister, to which they all agree, and in response, the shiny lynx turns the box upside down and opens it up, letting the mat and the spinner fall to the floor. She has Iris help with getting the mat spread out, and once it is, Autumn explains the rules: The spinner is divided into four sections: Left/right forepaw/paw/hands, and left/right foot/hindpaw. They're divided into four colors as well: Red, yellow, green and blue. After spinning, the combination is called, and players must move their hatching hand or paw to the correct circle. If you fall, or your elbow, knee, or butt touches the mat, you're eliminated.

It will be Casper's turn to go first, and Autumn works the spinner for him. His first spin is right hand blue, and just as the electric lizard puts it there...

"Autumn!" the voice of Autumn's father, Allen, calls from downstairs. "Come downstairs! We need to talk to you!"

Autumn gulps. "Crap..." she mutters under her breath, then walking over to Jacob and handing the spinner to in.

"What are you givin' this ta me for, Autumn?" he asks.

"My parents want to talk to me about something...give me a minute. For now, Jacob, take over the spinner." Autumn informs her, before leaving her bedroom and heading for the stairs.

"Okay..." Jacob replies, then taking his free stubby arm and flicking the spinner. "Okay, Casper...looks like right leg green for you."

Back with Autumn, the shiny lynx made it downstairs, and turned left towards the family room, where her parents stood. They didn't look mad, but Alan and Joy were certainly focused on her. Autumn would look to her left, and notice Daniel sitting on the couch, arms crossed and pouting. He was now in a fresh Pull-Up of his own.

"Oh, no..." Autumn mutters. "I...didn't think that little zap would cause an accident to happen."

"Now, Autumn...we're not mad or anything." Joy spoke up. "However, we'd like to find out what happened between you and Daniel that made you decide to zap him."

Part 16

Autumn sighs. "Do i have to?"

"Yes, you do." Joy maintained. "Otherwise, you might find yourself getting grounded from something. Maybe for a week."

Autumn gulped. If she had even the slightest temptation to lie, it was gone now. Getting grounded on the night of a sleepover was not what she wanted.

"Y-ye...y-yes, mom." she replies, slowly nodding her head back and forth, taking a deep breath before beginning to explain everything that happened. Daniel's attitude towards seeing other kids in Pull-Ups at first, Daniel tickling her into having an accident in response to a threat to zap his butt, the lynx taking a light swing at him after a few more remarks from Daniel...and all the while, the ermine just scoffed and kept his arms crossed.

"I see." Allen speaks up, then turning to face Daniel. "Well, Daniel...it wasn't very nice of you to tease and taunt your classmates, and Autumn, the way that you did. Do you understand that?"

"Hmmph...i guess." Daniel groans.

"You guess? Well, i can't say i'm surprised you got a reaction from it." Allen tells him. "Autumn will not be let off the hook entirely, but i suggest that for the rest of the night, you think before speaking. Okay?"

Daniel sighs. "Y-yes, Mr. Starbend."

"That's good." Allen nods.

"Any more nonsense, Daniel, and you'll be going right over my lap for a good spanking." Joy warns. "Understood?"

Daniel gulps, covering his backside with his short tail. "Y-yes, ma'am!"

"Alright...now you may go back upstairs and play for a little while longer." Joy says.

"T-thanks!" Daniel shouts, jumping from the couch and running back to the stairs.

"Now, Autumn..." Joy says, her and Allen turning towards their daughter. "We understand being frustrated with Daniel and how he was acting."

"But that doesn't mean you can just give him zaps like the one you gave." Allen stated.

"Sorry..." Autumn sighs. "But...i didn't really know what else to do. It felt like he wouldn't stop teasing me, and something had to be done about it right then and there."

"Even so, Autumn, Daniel is still four years younger than you. Keep that in mind." Joy points out. "If he was the same age as you...okay. We might be willing to let it slide just a little bit. But he's not."

"Mmm-mmm." Allen shakes his head. "You gotta do better about keeping your temper in check, kit kat."

"I know...i need to work on that." Autumn says. "So what's my punishment?"

"Eh...not much. You're not gonna be grounded or lose any privileges, or even get a spanking...but don't expect us to be lenient if this happens again tonight." Allen informs her.

"But, you will be getting an extra chore or two to do tomorrow, and maybe on Monday and Tuesday." Joy says. "As for tonight? A little change to your attire will be all."

"A little c-change? What do you mean?" Autumn wonders, tilting her head in confusion.

Allen clears his throat, before giving the answer. "Go ahead and take your pants off. You'll be spending the rest of tonight in just a Pull-Up. No pajama bottoms, either."

Part 17

Autumn was reluctant to take them off, nervous about how the others would react, but when Joy brought up an alternative punishment, that being her wearing diapers for a whole week instead, she complied and got the pants off quickly, before heading back upstairs, the Shinx's Pull-up rustling with each step. While she had to admit this felt nice, knowing the others would see her without pants covering the garment was a concern...for about a second, before she remembered that she initially told them she had gone ahead and put one on early before Daniel made his comment. She could just say that again...and she might as well admit to her punishment.

Just as she was about to push the door open and come back to her bedroom, she heard Jacob's voice.

"Dang it!" he cried out.

"Haha! I win!" Casper cheers.

"Yeah, ya do...but only 'cause the stupid wheel kept tryin' ta make me look like a freakshow!" Jacob shouts.

"Hey, don't yell at me, Jacob!" Casper responds.

"Sorry, Casper...i'm not mad at you, i know it's the wheel's fault." Jacob says. "Good game."

As things quickly calm down, Autumn pushes the door open.

"I'm back!" she greets.

"Autumn! We wondered where ya were." Iris says, before taking notice of something missing. "What happened to your pants?"

Autumn blushes. "That's my punishment for zapping Daniel...no pants for the rest of the night. Not even pajama bottoms."

"Darn...that stinks." Elliott comments. "Could've been worse...you can still go to the potty, can't ya?"

"Mm-hmm." Autumn nods. "They didn't take that away..."

"A shame they didn't." Daniel mutters under his breath.

"And i said it before, but i'll say it again. I went ahead and put one on early." Autumn explains.

"That's total-" Daniel was about to make another comment, but stopped himself. "I m-mean, s-so, uhh...it's...not for laziness?"

"Of course not, Daniel!" Autumn tells him, seeing that her zap and the threat of a spanking earlier had changed his tune. "I'm eight...do you think my parents would ever allow me to go in these on purpose?" she asks. It was a lie, of course, but these kids didn't live with her every day, so it'd be easier to get away with fibs.

"Heh...good point." Daniel says, Elliott and Casper nodding with him.

"It'd be pretty silly if you did, but it wouldn't be worth the spankin' you'd get." Casper says.

Autumn nervously chuckles. "Nope...anyway, who wants to play Twister next?"

"Me!" Elliott shouts, quickly raising up his paw. "And i'll have you be my opponent!"

"Really? Well...alright." Autumn says, picking up the spinner off the carpet. "Hey, Daniel...how about you work this?" he offers.

"H-huh? Me? After what i said earlier?" Daniel wonders.

"Sure! Even if you've made a few little comments, i don't see that as any reason to exclude you from the fun." Autumn tells him.

"Well...why not." Daniel then gets up and takes the spinner from her. "Thanks."

"No problem!" Autumn says, before smirking at Elliott. "Ready to get your butt beat?" she taunts.

"Heh...we'll see about that." Elliott grins back, and once it's decided that Autumn goes first, the shiny lynx gets on the mat, and just after announcing she's ready, she starts to feel a little pressure in her bladder...seriously? She went like ten minutes ago. Eh, whatever. She could make it through a round of Twister. Surely...

Part 18

"Right back leg red, Autumn!"

"Mmph...w-w-whoa! O-okay, got it! That's 22!"

This round of Twister had gone on for a while, and Autumn had done well...even if right now, the spinner seemed to want to get her tied in knots, which wasn't helping with her growing need to pee, and the shiny lynx was trying not to fidget.

"H-hurry up, Danny!" Autumn shouts, her legs shaking as she tries not to slip.

"I am, Autumn!" Daniel responds, spinning again.

"Uh-oh, Autumn's about to take a tumble..." Casper smirks.

"Okay..." Daniel watches as the spinner stops. "Right fore leg...green!"

Autumn's eyes widen. "What? Are you kidding?!"

Daniel chuckles. "No, i'm not, Autumn. Now do what the spinner says..."

"Ugh...okay." Autumn groans, then trying to move her foreleg over to one of the green circles. But just as she's about to touch it, she begins to lose balance.

"N-no! P-please!" she shouts, doing her best to maintain balance as Elliott begins to snicker. However, it's not enough, and she ends up falling on her side.

"No!" she shouts again. "Dang it..."

"Heh...called it!" Casper announces, him and Jacob both having a chuckle of their own.

"Ow..." Autumn whines as she slowly gets up. "I think that was...23?"

"Nope! 22. That one didn't count." Daniel corrects.

"Rats! Oh, well...i still did good." Autumn says, standing for a second to catch her breath. "Okay...y-your-" Autumn is about to say before a pang cuts her off. "T-turn, Elliott!"

"Autumn? You-"

But before Iris can finish, the shiny lynx is now sprinting off to the bathroom, the kids all hearing the door open and shut.

"Oh...that's what." Iris shrugs.

"Heh...good thing she made it." Elliott says, before looking at Daniel. "Alright! I'm ready!" he announces, the Growlithe stepping onto the mat.

"Okay!" Daniel says, before giving Elliott his first spin. "Left back leg blue!"

Part 19

Some time passes by, and now feeling sleepy, Autumn starts getting ready for bed after sleeping arrangements are decided with the help of her mother: Autumn will sleep in her bed every night with the help of her mother, and the daycare kids will sleep on the floor. However, one of them can have a space in Autumn's bed if they have a nightmare or have difficulty sleeping on the floor.

After getting herself dressed into some cute Ledian-themed pajamas, Allen comes in.

"Hey, kids." he greets. "You feeling sleepy yet?"

Autumn nods, and so do the others, Elliott and Jacob letting out yawns. Casper shakes his head initially, only to yawn right afterward, earning a chuckle from Allen.

"Wore yourselves out, i see." Allen comments. "Okay...time for checks!"

They all know what he means by that, and Autumn walks up to her dad, deciding to go first. The Luxray pulls down her pajama bottoms a bit, and puts a paw to her Pull-Up to see if it's still dry. It is, and this earns her some praise, Allen telling her "Good girl" as he pats her head, causing her to blush.

Jacob and Iris haven't had any accidents tonight, so they are immediately sent off to go brush their teeth and change into pajamas. Daniel is the next to have his Pull-Up checked...like Autumn, he is dry. Casper is next...also dry. That leaves just Elliott, the Growlithe trying to cover his Pull-Up with his short tail as Allen walks over to him. Of course, that doesn't do any good.

"What are you trying to hide?" Allen asks.

"N-nothing..." Elliott responds, blushing a little.

"If it's nothing, then why is your tail lowered?" Allen asks again, taking a quick sniff of the air. No one had pooped, but Allen quickly picked up the scent of urine. "You're not even messy, Elliott. But i can tell you're wet...your tail wouldn't have done any good to cover it up anyway."

"Ugh...yeah, i...might've tried ta hold it in while playin' Twista earlier." Elliott admits, going ahead and rolling over on his side, exposing his soaked Pull-Up to the Luxray. The fire pup could swear he heard someone snickering, but he couldn't make out who it was.

Allen chuckles. "Oh, i see...stay there for a minute."

Allen leaves the room and heads back downstairs to get a fresh Pull-Up for Elliott while Daniel and Casper go and get changed into pajamas of their own, trying not to look at Elliott too much. After about two minutes, Allen returns with the changing supplies and a Pull-Up, and quickly gets to changing Elliott, the fire pup covering his eyes the whole time.

Once Allen announces it's done, Elliott takes his forepaws off his eyes, and looks down, seeing that he is now in a clean Prinplup pull-up. "T-thanks, Mister Starbend..." he says, slowly getting back on his four paws.

"No problem." Allen says, heading off again to dispose of the wet pull-up and put the changing supplies back.

Part 20

After everyone uses the toilet one last time for the night, it's officially bedtime. At first, only Elliott and Iris have blankets, so Joy goes to retrieve extras from the linen closet after telling Autumn "Good night". She returns after a minute, and once the daycare kids are laying on the floor, Joy quickly covers them up, and tells "Good night", giving all five of them a kiss on the cheek before wishing them sweet dreams.

After Allen quickly gives his good nights, he turns off the room light, leaving just a plugged in night light over by the closet, and heads off, shutting the door behind him. Jacob and Iris are the first to drift off to sleep, followed by Elliott a few minutes after them, and then Casper.

This leaves just Daniel and Autumn, both of them thinking about the fun they had today...

"Man...tonight's the most relaxed, and carefree, that i've felt in a while." Autumn whispered to herself. And there was some truth to that...her greatest worry other than getting grounded for zapping Daniel, was the other kids finding out about her liking towards Pull-Ups, and wanting to go back in them, or all the way to diapers, likely leading to unhappy parents. Luckily, that didn't happen. While she was seen in them, the lies she came up with on the spot were good enough to work, and the shiny lynx didn't make it obvious.

Daniel felt similarly to Autumn about tonight himself. While he definitely looked forward to getting out of his Pull-Up tomorrow morning, and felt a bit of remorse about the teasing he had done, he enjoyed getting to play with his classmates, and getting to use the spinner for the earlier Twister game was pretty fun, too...he had never done that before. Plus, the Mienfoo made a mental note to himself to try and be a bit nicer to Elliott and Autumn...as much as he didn't want to admit it, he deserved that zap from the lynx, and the accident that followed.

Letting out another yawn, Daniel decides it's time to get some shut-eye, and rolls over on his side, closing his eyes and soon falling fast asleep. Autumn stays up a little longer, before the drowsiness becomes too much, and she closes her eyes, falling asleep with a smile on her face.
