26. The Other Good Girl

"Thank you, Spanky," Paper beamed, "You've been such a good girl." The foxcub blushed and looked down at his paws, not used to the feeling of being praised.

She turned and took the bin from him, putting it beside the bed, and then popped the lid open to drop in a balled-up diaper. Then she took a wipe from the pack he was holding out, and carefully wiped Dawn's bum clean. From the way the little tiger was giggling, the cold material must tickle more than a little. Finally she produced a fresh diaper, and lifted Dawn by her feet so it could slide beneath her. Dawn didn't protest, even though she'd shown earlier that she could fasten a diaper herself if she wanted to. It seemed like she was enjoying the attention, even with a blush that made her blue plumage look almost lavender. Then Paper fastened up the shortalls, and reached out to take both of Dawn's hands, helping her to sit up again.

"Yep, thank you Spanky!" The kitten smiled broadly, "You're the best big sissy in the–" Words quickly trailed into silence, and the wide grin on Dawn's face was replaced by a blush even deeper. She blinked, and looked down a little.

Paper didn't seem to notice that Dawn was wetting herself again, having less than a minute in a dry diaper. She just ruffled the cub's hair, and tried to cheer her up. Spanky couldn't miss it, though. Because as soon as he saw that look in Dawn's eyes, he could feel the warmth spreading between his legs. He closed his eyes and tried to focus, tried to remember how to be a big girl, but he just couldn't do it. Just like they'd promised, he couldn't help copying every babyish thing that Dawn did. He hoped he wasn't blushing as much as his sister, but his face felt almost as warm as his bum, and he knew he probably couldn't hide this accident. But his sense of shame was slightly less as he saw something out of the corner of his eye, and bent down quickly.

"Well, that's one clean little girl," Paper gave her best motherly smile and lifted Dawn back down to the floor, "Who's next for the diaper changing?"

"I don't need a diaper.," Spanky pouted as he ran up to her. "I didn't have a accident or nothing."

"Of course you didn't, dear. So let's just get this one off you, hmm?" Paper lifted him onto the bed and opened the snaps to reveal his diaper with no difficulty. He didn't get to fly through the air like some superhero, and he was a little bit disappointed about that. But he didn't have the yo-yo dangling in front of his face either. He didn't know if Dawn had got a treat, or some really nasty tease, and he was sure that Dawn didn't know either. So right now, he didn't mind missing out on a little treat, if he could see that he wasn't getting any more punishment with a little yellow plastic item.

Paper unfastened his diaper, and quickly slid it out from under him. He was sure that he dripped a bit on the towel, but that didn't matter if it wasn't the bed. Then Paper produced the baby wipes, and quickly cleaned his bum without any kind of embarrassment. Spanky wanted to stop her, but he knew that if he did she would have to say something really embarrassing. If she was going to let him pretend he didn't wet himself like a baby, then he could try to keep quiet. He buried his face in his paws to avoid looking at Paper while she was changing him. He heard the sound of her stubby, filed-down claws pulling at plastic, and realised that she was opening a new pack of diapers. The five that Master had sent him must all be gone at last. It only took a few minutes, and then she was reaching out to take his arms and help him up. He got to his feet without too much difficulty, and smiled a little with pride as he realised that he was wearing a dry diaper. Unlike his little sister, of course.

That thought made him feel even better. He knew that if he'd insisted on being changed first, pushing himself forward like he always did, he would have been wearing a clean diaper for a couple of minutes. Dawn would pee after every change, and it looked like his punishment was going to make him wet whenever she did. So it was only letting her go first that had saved him from wetting his nice fresh diaper. He'd made the right choice, he knew that now. And a little bit later, he knew he was going to show Dawn that she was just a little baby, while he was the big sister who could do anything.

"Are you both all clean and ready for dinner?" Paper purred, and Spanky nodded. Dawn didn't answer, and looked really embarrassed. For a second Spanky felt bad about his plan to embarrass her more, but only for a minute. She was his sister. He knew that, and he knew that no matter what happened, he didn't want her to be upset. So right now, he was going to help her worry less.

"Oh, I've got to wash my paws," he raised his paws in the air, to show how dirty they were. "I almost forgot. Come on Dawn, do you want me to help you wash your paws before dinner?"

"Yeah!" Dawn nodded, and toddled after him into the bathroom. Paper watched them go, and raised one hand in a half wave as he closed the door behind them. She was happy as well, seeing her cubs playing so well together. She waited just a second to see if they were going to come back for anything. But when she heard the sound of running water she turned towards the room's other door.

Lulu was standing outside in the corridor, just waiting.

"Both changed and cleaned up?"

"Yeah. Spanky's helping Dawn wash her paws before dinner. Pizza on the way?"

"Yeah. Hope you're in the mood for extra spicy tonight."

"Oh, you didn't," Paper whimpered, a little, doing a good impression of Dawn trying to conceal her embarrassment. "Please, tell me you ordered what I asked for?"

"Please?" Lulu answered, one eyebrow raised. "I think there's something missing there."

"Please Mistress? Pretty please?"

"That's better. And yes, I got you what you asked for. You just have to contend with a little extra special sauce."

"Please, Mistress?"

"That only works once. And you like pleasing me, don't you, pet? Just think about how pleased I'll be to see you doing something you find difficult, just to impress me."

"But, chilli? Really?"

"Yes, really. Why the protests, pet? You don't have a problem with hot wax. Or with certain fiery substances..."

"Well, it's kind of different if it's something you're doing to me. It's kind of..."

"And, pet, I still haven't been able to treat you to dinner at Mercurio's. That's something important to me. You know, you can say no if you really want to. But I enjoy seeing your eyes water. I enjoy seeing your reactions change, as you learn to tolerate something new and I know that it's for me. You want to make me happier?"

"Okay," Paper nodded, "Today, anyway. We'll talk about next time." Of course, the conversation next time would be just the same. She always protested, and she always went through with eating whatever Mistress decided she could eat. It was the part of their relationship that had never been shared with John Spankless, or with anyone else. Sooner or later, she hoped, her tolerance for hot food really would be good enough to dine at a certain dragon restaurant. And Paper found it oddly exciting, to find a moment away from the fun with the cubs to have her own desire for helplessness tended to.

"And speaking of special diets, have you been a good girl?"

"Yes, I did it while I was changing her. Sent Spanky into the bathroom. Think she'll like the surprise? I still can't believe you're making me..." She shook her head, and then turned back towards the bathroom door, from which she was surprised to still hear no sounds of mayhem. "Should we check on them, or wait until the pizza comes? Seems to be taking them a long time just to wash."

"Hmm... Do you think he's found a chance to be sneaky?" Lulu purred, looking around the room. She was sure that what she was looking for wasn't there, but it took Paper a bit longer to work out what was on her mind.

"What do you... Oh! You don't think he's about to find out...?"

"We can wait and see," Lulu gave a wicked grin, the kind that always reminded Paper that her friend was a natural predator behind all the games of dominance and control. "I do so love it when a sub can be enticed to punish themselves."
