The real life animal reference kook to have been retconed out over the years. But hey, your story.

Chapter 13 The window swung back and forth and the curtains flew wildly about. Another flash lit up the room and was followed by another scary rumble. The walls creaked and then the window flew up and a few of the stuffed animals sitting on the wide windowsill fell down on the floor. But all the same, Ally stood unperturbed by the storm, keeping her eyes at me on the floor. There was a flash in her eye, not unlike the ones outside. She shook her head, sighing. Then she spun around and headed for the open window. The week at Ally’s place hadn’t exactly turned out the way I imagined it to be. Running into trouble like staying out late or going to forbidden places was prone to happen while being with Ally. But I didn’t know I was going to find myself I the middle of a conflict where I could be the hero and fulfill my lifelong wish, to get a best friend, if only I didn’t mess things up—which I tended to do. And that had to change. It was stupid to not use my last diaper. Even if Alexis knew that I didn’t need them, she also thought that Ally assumed I did. And if I used the diapers as if I had a problem, what would Alexis tell her sister? If she said I didn’t need them she would have to reveal my ‘secret’, which she promised not to, so she’d have no other choice than to let me wear them. Most likely she’d have another talk with me, but I didn’t have to worry about that yet. I got to my feet, brushed a hair strand off my face and saw that Ally had climbed up the windowsill. The window was still open and she was staring down at her back yard about twenty feet below. She had a determined look on her face. Over what, I didn’t know, but there was a creeping feeling inside me. Was she going to jump? My heart stopped. Maybe life wasn’t worth living if you had to spend the rest of your summers in diapers, had the meanest sister in the world and a friend who didn’t care to help you out. No, she wouldn’t do that, and our plan hadn’t failed yet. I was about to tell her about my new plan when she took another step and leaned forward. I gasped. But she was simply reaching out her hand to pull in the window. And it was just in time because then the rain hit it, hard. The windowsill was wide enough to sit on and Ally sank down and leaned her back against the frame. She turned her head and was captivated by the elements outside. From time to time the room was lit up by the lighting. The thunders were less powerful than the first ones though each time it stroke it was like something froze inside me. A night like this my parents would’ve let me sleep in their bed. I wondered if Ally would let me sleep in hers after what I had done or that I should march to the guest room right away. Ally slipped down from the windowsill. “Maybe you need more convincing.” she said, walking to her desk. “Huh?” “I thought maybe you don’t believe me. You don’t think that Alexis is really doing all this to me.” Ally picked up a pencil case on her desk, opened it and took out a small item. I couldn’t see what it was but it I saw it glimmer for a second, so perhaps it was made out of metal. “Wait until you see this.” She walked over to a cabinet with a lock and inserted the metal thing in the keyhole. “I had to hide them from her. Else she’d make me use them too.” She turned the key around, and when the lock clicked, she opened the top drawer and took out a small plastic box. “Here.” Ally tossed me it. I caught the box and the things inside it clattered. My brows rose once I opened the lid. In the box I found two baby pacifiers. They were cute little things. One of them with a clip attached. “I hid those two but sure she has gotten new ones by now.” Ally said. “She has other stuff too, like sippy cups, bottles with teats, plastic plates and spoons I have to eat baby food from, and also rattles and other baby toys she makes me play with. Oh, and all the clothes I have to dress up in.” Ally walked over to her dresser and opened the bottom drawer. “She actually gave me this one for Christmas and my parents didn’t think anything of it.” The baby outfit was an overall with feet –A footed pajamas. Embarrassingly enough, it looked at least as babyish as mine except for the feet. “Yeah, I know.” Ally said. “She’s weird.” “I want to help you.” I said. “I just ran into some problems…” I told Ally what Alexis had confronted me with earlier, apologized for not using the diaper and then how we could fix the plan. Ally nodded and put the footed pajamas back in the drawer. “I have another idea too. But it can wait until tomorrow… What are you doing?” I hadn’t given it much thought but as I was talking with Ally, I had picked up the pacifiers with the clip on. Putting my index finger inside the band with the clip, I spun it around absently. I was actually curious about placing it in my mouth, but with regards to Ally I didn’t. “N-nothing.” I put it back at once. “They’re clean, so try it out if you want.” Ally said, as I was about to close to lid of the pacifier box. “No, I’m fine.” “I want to see how it looks on you. To see how much of a baby I must look, when she is making me use it. I refuse to look at myself in the mirror when she does.” “Okay.” I took it out again. It really was a cute little thing. I put it in my mouth and felt the teat on my tongue, almost making me suck it involuntary. “Aww, cutie.” Ally cooed. “No, keep it in.” She put a hand up to stop me from taking it out. “You are going to sleep with it.” I took it out to speak. “Why?” “You need some kind of punishment for not using your diaper earlier.” “You’re almost sounding like your sister.” “No, she’d blackmail you—that’s much worse. I’m just giving you a taste of how it’s going to be like for me if you don’t help me out.” “Okay.” I popped it back in. This time I dared to suck on it and Ally giggled at that. “Let me get the clip on.” Ally fastened it on my pajama top. “There. Now baby won’t lose it.” Ally giggled again but then her face turned serious. “Sorry, that’s just what Alexis always says. I know it isn’t fun.” I popped the pacifier out and the band caught it. “It’s okay. It’s like playing pretend. But I know that when she does it with you, you don’t really want to.” Ally stretched her hand in the air and yawned. “Yeah. I’m sleepy now.” She went over to her bookshelf and ran her finger along the back of her books. “Uhmm… There it is.” She stopped at one and took it out. The cover was in some kind of dark creepy grassy color, the title on it had faded and the pages looked yellowish. “Did you know I found it in the mill? And it doesn’t count as stealing since no one owned it.” “What’s it about?” I asked, as I went to my bag to get a book myself. “I’m not sure –I haven’t gotten that far yet. It’s pretty weird. I hope it’s going to be about ghosts. It looks like it could be.” Ally climbed up in her bed, turned on her bedside lamp, leaned back on her pillow and opened the old book. I did pretty much the same. In the book I was reading it was much easier to get a best friend or a ‘bosom friend’ as they called it. You simply walked over to your neighbor’s house where a girl your age lived and asked if she wanted to. It was an old book. Even grandma had read it when she was little, and things were probably simpler then. “Remember…” Ally said, moving her hand from the middle of her chest to her mouth. “Oh, right.” I put my pacifier in before I opened the book. It wasn’t thundering anymore but the rain still drummed on the roof, cozily. I read two or three chapters and then I heard how Ally was breathing heavily next to me with the creepy book on her chest. I lifted it off, careful not to wake her, and put it on her nightstand. Then I helped her get under the covers and whispered ‘goodnight’ before turning the lights off. In the dark I picked Magnolia from my bag and crawled under the covers with her. I closed my eyes. It was tricky to get used to both wearing both a diaper and a pacifier to bed. The diaper felt too warm and eventually I kicked off my pajama pants to make it cooler. “No, I’m not a baby again.” I assured my bunny. “Do you remember those times? Do I look alike?” I giggled softly. Then I froze as there was a knock on the door. A streak of light widened as the door opened. “Hello?” It was Alexis’s voice, who else? “Yes?” I was afraid she’d see my pacifier and I hastily put it under my collar. “I was just checking on you two. Is Ally sleeping?” “Yes.” “Good. And you’re fine?” “Uhu…” “Great. Okay so goodnight then.” “Night…” She closed the door. Maybe she was here to turn on the hypnotic track. She’d probably do it later. It didn’t matter. I turned around, took the pacifier out from under my shirt, put it back in my mouth giving it a few sucks, closed my eyes and listened to the shooting rain. And before I knew it, I drifted off to a sleep sweet as a baby’s. Ally was right next to me when I woke up in the morning. Her head even lay on the same pillow as mine. She must have rolled over in her sleep. I pushed her away and she moved back to her side. According to the drumming on the roof, the rain still cascaded outside. Since I didn’t know what time it was, and because Ally still was out, I tried to go back to sleep again, but I couldn’t. The regular morning complaint from my bladder came and then I remembered what I was supposed to do. I sat up and rubbed an eye with my palm. Okay, now I knew for sure what to do. Just relax and let go. I took a breath and exhaled. The diaper still sat securely around me, so there was no risk of leaks. It was seemingly harder than I thought. I tried to close my eyes and count to ten but there was no use. Ally’s tickles might help but I didn’t want to wake her. Well, there was no rush. I’d have to go sooner or later anyway and I could just as well pick up my book and read for a while. After one chapter the complaint was stronger and I couldn’t concentrate on the next one. I put my book down and tried to relax again. It was strange. Even if I really had to go it wouldn’t come out. I tried hovering, standing up, crawling on all four and tried many other positions but nothing worked. Surely diapers couldn’t make you hold it forever so I gave up again and waited until the inevitable would happen. I sat down on the bed again and then I saw my pacifier dangling on its clip around my neck. I caught it. In some weird way I was tempted to put in my mouth. I did so, telling myself I was just going to have it there for a second but then I closed my eyes and sucked. And that apparently did the trick with my bladder. Sucking on it made me feel relaxed and then my bottom got warm and the diaper began swelling up. Maybe my body somehow thought I was a baby again when I had a pacifier in my mouth. I had finally done it and I felt strangely proud and satisfied over myself for such a silly thing. Then I heard a snicker next to me. It was Ally smirking. “Good job, baby. Good job.” Chapter 14   Alexis slept peacefully in her bed allowing herself to sleep in for once during her stressful week babysitting. Unfortunately for her, any sweet dreams she might have been having were about to end.   Sinister patters on the wooden floor approached her room. Then there was brief moment of silent before her bed started to shake. I saw her eyes dart open, and by the look of her face, she must have thought it was an earthquake. But did they even have those were she lived? No, she must have been telling herself, it couldn’t be, but what was it then? Was the stormy weather about to pull the house from the ground? No way, that wasn’t possible.   As her vision cleared and she realized what was actually happing, relief filled her face, but a moment later a pinched expression took over it and she squirmed around, muttering in annoyance while putting a pillow over her ear. The thing making her body bounce up and down might have felt like a level eight on the Richter scale, though, it wasn’t a seismic activity, but Ally and I using her bed as a trampoline.  “Urggh… Let me sleep.” Alexis groaned, swiping blindly at our legs while the springs squealed with every bounce.    Ignoring her, we kept dancing around while dodging her drowsy arms and feet. “It isn’t funny.” Alexis whined, kicking her legs at us, making her blanket fall off the bed instead. “Just get off.”   “We won’t unless you promise to buy us a real trampoline.” Ally said, jumping across Alexis from the side.   As I was about to do the same, I felt a hand grabbing my shin and in the next second I fell down on the bed with a soft thud. Alexis, who was now on her side, heaved me in and attacked me with tickles. “Help me, Ally!”   My friend acted quick and got behind her sister’s back to give her the same medicine she was giving me. The grip loosened and I escaped, rolling away. Behind me, Ally gulped as her sister had turned around and grabbed her arm, twisting it.   “Just stop it you two!” she burst out, jerking Ally’s arm hard and then letting her go.   “Owwie! That hurt.” Ally grimaced, rubbing her arm.    The older sister sat up, put a hand on her forehead and sighed. “Sorry. It’s just... Please play somewhere else. I think I have a headache or something.” Closing her eyes, she pressed her fingers at her temples, taking a long breath. “Maybe it’s the weather...” Then she put her head up and sniffed in the air. “Oh, are you here for that?”   “Well yeah.” Ally said, stood up on her knees with her hands at her waist, her diaper noticeably sagging under her nightdress.   “You can go tape it off.” Alexis said.   I had inquired Ally about why she couldn’t just take it off by herself and she told it was because Alexis wanted to make sure she wore it all night and not taking it off as soon as her sister left the room.    “What about Amber? Doesn’t she need, you know, a diaper change now?” Ally asked.   “Well…” Alexis looked at me. “Maybe if she just tries to go to the bathroom more often, she’ll be fine.”   “But you made her wear one last evening.”   “Yes, and she kept it dry. Don’t worry, she’s okay now, right Amber?”   I bit my lip, saying nothing.  Alexis didn’t know I hid a wet one under my pajama pants just then.   “B-but she had no idea when we were out in the woods –it just happened.” Ally said. “And didn’t she have another accident on your bed and she couldn’t tell that she had to go then either?”   “And then she didn’t need the one I made her wear and she’s dry now, right?” Alexis asked.    I shook my head, keeping my eyes down, feeling ice in my stomach just as the day before when we had the talk.    “Listen, Amber told me everything. She said she is under a lot of stress and that’s why she’s having accidents now. And I won’t tease her for wearing diapers.”   Alexis gave her sister a look and then moved her gaze back to me. For a second, I thought that maybe she would reveal my fake ‘secret’ that I liked diapers after all and then everything would be lost.    “Alright… Or wait, what does Amber say?”   Feeling how my teeth could begin to tremble any moment, I turned my head to Ally to remember my cause. “I… I think I still need them. It’s for the best. And I don’t think we’re going out today, so it’s okay.” To my left, outside the window, the rain kept falling. While there were funny things you could do in the rain, most of them resulted in getting wet and in some cases muddy and Alexis would probably disapprove of that. And didn’t she ground us the day before?   “Yeah, look outside.” Ally said. “It’s raining so it’s a movies and video games day. By the way, can I have my TV cables back now?”   “If you stop nagging….” Alexis swung her legs off her bed, “you might get them back after lunch.” She reached her arms up to stretch. “Go take your shower now.”   “Can Amber and I go together?” Ally asked, crawling across the bed and wrapped her arms around me.   I had told her earlier that if always stuck together, Alexis couldn’t be alone with me and therefore wouldn’t be able to talk me out of wearing diapers without ruining my ‘secret’.   “No, you go one at the time.” Alexis said.   “Okay. Our guest goes first then.” Ally said, letting go of her hug and gave me a light push.   With that, I slid off the bed and made my way out of the room. As I was about to leave, I looked back and saw Ally nodding approvingly my way. She had a plan.   Sometime later in the bathroom, after drying my wet hair and then wrapping the towel around me, I heard knocks on the bathroom door.   “It’s me.” Ally said, pulling the door lid down a few times. “Let me in, quick.”   I did so, and she came in, closing the door without locking it. She seemed hurried and kept a hand behind her back.   “Here.” she said, bringing her hand forth, dropping everything except one. “Some clothes and a new diaper.” She gave the thing she didn’t drop to me. “Try to get it on yourself, okay?”    “Okay.”   “Good.” Ally smiled, holding her thumbs up, and then left the bathroom to wait outside.   It couldn’t be that hard to put it on by yourself. You just had to unfold it, lie down, put it under you, adjust it, get the tapes right in place one by one and there you go.   After the procedure, I stood up, looking down at my accomplishment. I put a finger to my lip. Something wasn’t quite right. It sat a bit too low and not as snug as when Alexis did it for me. Since the tapes couldn’t refasten themselves, there was nothing to do about it now. It would have to do.   The jeans Ally had gotten for me was my smallest pair, and once I had pulled them up a little over my diaper, they stuck. After struggling with it for a while, I decided to go to Ally’s room and get some other pants. As I opened the door to leave the bathroom, I jumped because I had forgotten that Ally was standing there waiting for me.   “They don’t quite fit.” I said, after calming down and showing it by trying to fasten the button on my jeans.   “They were the only ones I found in your bag. Maybe you want to borrow something from me?”   I scratched my head. “Sure.”   Ally took my arm and led me to her room. She went over to her drawer, opened them to look for some clothes. Before long, she tossed me a pair of gray leggings and a longer shirt to wear with them. “Try these."   I put it on and Ally inspected me up and down. The leggings reached a bit over my knees, and the shirt helped hiding the diaper quite okay. But if we were ever going outside anymore during the rest of my stay, I wouldn’t want to wear that since it wouldn’t be hard seeing what I was wearing under it after giving it a peek or two. Actually, I wasn’t sure if I wanted to go out diapered at all.      “Looks great.” Ally said, grinning. “Meanie told us we could make breakfast by ourselves and I think I know where she hides the Nutella jar.”   We ran down the stairs to the kitchen. There we tried our best to make our faces not too stained with chocolate while making our tummies satisfied. When our unsupervised and therefore not so healthy breakfast was over, we went over and sat down in the living room to watch the morning cartoons. After a show or two, a boring one came on and Ally turned it off. “Right, I never took a shower. While I do that you can go play in my room or whatever.”   Both of us went upstairs and parted at Ally’s room. In there by myself, I looked around for something to play with and settled on the coveted doll set.   As I sat down on the floor with the figurines, a displeasing thought stroke me. Maybe Ally had stolen them while she shoplifted. If she had, it wouldn’t feel right to play with them. Didn’t she say Alexis took her stuff she stole? I hoped so, but I wasn’t sure. Dealing with these thoughts, the said person had entered the room. I heard the door close and looked up. She still wore her pajamas and as she said before she didn’t look so well. Dark circles surrounded her eyes and her posture reminded me of a zombie’s.   “Hey…” she said. “I told Ally that I want you two to try staying quiet today. At least until my headache is over. Don’t worry. It wasn’t because you woke me up like that, I felt something coming yesterday, and the thunder kept me up most of the night too.”   I chewed the inside of my cheek, tugging my shirt down, hoping she wouldn’t see my diaper. Of course, she was going to know eventually, but I wanted Ally there to help me out. Fiddling with my shirt maybe wasn’t the best idea. It must have drawn her attention because she tilted her head and asked, “You aren’t wearing a new diaper, right?”   “Well…” I started, trying to come up with something to say. “Ally brought me one and I told her I didn’t need it but she convinced me to wear one anyway.”   “So you did so?”   I pulled up my shirt enough to make it known. “I put it on myself…”   “Keep that one dry. It’ll tell her you don’t need them anymore.”   “Mhmm...” I wriggled around, nervously, again wondering what I had gotten myself into. Alexis didn’t seem like she wanted me in diapers at all, even if Ally said she had a thing for it. The stake was too high, that must have been what she thought, and making me wear them to bed and nap time was enough. She didn’t dare to risk more. That of course, she’d have Ally wear them the rest of the summer anyway, even have her act like a baby and all that. What a mean weirdo.   Alexis left the room and I played with the dolls by myself. Not soon later, Ally came back from the shower and I gave her a summary of what her sister had said.   “It doesn’t matter.” Ally said. “You use it anyway. What is she going to do about it?”   “I know… but she tries to talk me out of it and I’m not as good as meeting her arguments as you.”   “I’ll try to stay with me. But actually, I’m sure she’ll change her mind soon.” Ally sank down to her knees and picked up a doll. “If she knows you really want to, she’ll probably let you. Not because she’s being nice, but that she likes it, you know, make us wear diapers.”   “I hope you’re right.” I really did.   We sat there with the dolls and begun to play. A few minutes in, we got into a silly argument. I can’t recall exactly how it started. Like usual, the way we were playing didn’t satisfy Ally. There were a few grumpy remarks from her here and there over things happening to the doll’s lives, I couldn’t do this, and couldn’t have a doll say that. Then I was apparently hiding her favorite doll behind my back. I didn’t even know I had it there and when I simply gave it back, she told me I had broken it. She turned around and refused to talk with me after that, and then I accidentally said something about how Alexis was funnier to play with, because right then I actually thought that. It made Ally get all mad and told me to go play with her instead then.    I didn’t do that, though, but I got away from Ally by walking to sit in another corner of the room with the few dolls she allowed me to play with. It was not long after that a signal from my bladder traveled up through my spine until it reached my brain, saying it was time to relive itself. Being a bit mad at Ally I didn’t want to help her out then, so I held it, thinking for a moment that maybe I should simply take my diaper off and use the bathroom normally. Ignoring the urge for a while, I eventually decided that, no, this stupid argument should not ruin our friendship. The other thing was that I wouldn’t let Alexis make Ally wear diapers for the rest of the summer.   I stood up and looked over at her. Across the room she was looking back at me, as if she knew what was going on. She probably did, the way I wriggled around to hold myself. Locking eye contact, she mouthed, “Do it.”   And I did. It was easier than it had been when I woke up even without the pacifier. Once I relaxed, telling my body it was okay, it all went well. At least at first, but then I gasped as I noticed a trail running down and darkening the inside of my leggings. The diaper was leaking.

Bob retired a few years ago, and died like a year ago (I think). Tom is still on the air (in my opinion, he'll probably retire soon, too), but the show is still called Bob and Tom.   Stay padded my friends, MixerOp

I'm lazy.  😜

@Crinklz Kat. You just needed to open up the spec info.  That shows this is made in the USA, with USA and imported components.  Also, the size chart includes small and XL, and they have a link so you can be notified when the additional sizes become available.
