“I, um, it was just once!” Sidney said, trying to save face. There was a brown, blotchy stain on the seat. Edwards sighed and held up the pull-up she had just taken off Sidney. “It’s just a precaution in case you have another accident.” Ms. It had patterns on the front, like a baby diaper, except big enough to fit Sidney.

Edwards unfolded a thick, disposable diaper. “I- hey I don’t need diapers either!” Sidney protested as Ms. Edwards said in the most patronizing voice Sidney had ever heard “I’m just helping.” “I can wipe myself!” She said, not believing that she even needed to say it Sidney turned beet red, even though none of the others around her seemed to think much of it. Edwards said, pressing a baby wipe to Sidney’s behind like it was the most normal thing in the world. Sidney squeaked and covered herself as best she could with her hands. Edwards ignored her and pulled down her soiled pull-up. Edwards said “If you choose to poop your pants, then you belong in diapers.” “But… hey wait, this isn’t fair!” Sidney said Edwards said simply, taking Sidney by the arm and marching her into the corner “If you want to poop your pants, then you aren’t ready for pull-ups.” “C-can, um, can I have a clean pull-up?” She tried, not believing that she was asking for a pull-up instead of panties. But she had no idea how she was supposed to act. She’d just squatted and pooped her pull-up without even trying to get to one of the potties and now she was stuttering. Intellectually she realized how unconvincing she must have sounded. “I- um- It was an accident!” Sidney said. “Sydney did you just do that on purpose?” She asked. She was so completely caught off guard that she just did the first thing her instincts told her to do. Sidney pushed and something solid slipped between her butt cheeks and entered her pull-up. “Do you need to go potty? I can help if you’re nervous.”

Sidney turned and saw a teacher she knew, Ms. Teachers stood by the potties, helping them and wiping a few of them. Classmates that she knew hurried into the bathroom, their hands pressed against their crotches, clearly needing to go potty like they were two year olds.

The stalls and sinks had disappeared, replaced by training potties and a few changing tables in the back that looked big enough for her. Not a diaper but a pull-up! Suddenly her cell phone twisted in her hand, leaving her holding a stuffed teddy bear. She flipped her skirt up for just a moment to check. She was wearing a pink princess t-shirt, short skirt and what seemed like an oversize diaper underneath. Except her jeans seemed to disappear in her hand and she touched plastic. She absentmindedly tugged at her jeans to adjust her underwear which seemed to have gotten bunched up. She was so busy staring at her phone that she didn’t even notice her outfit changing as she walked into the bathroom. She wandered towards the nearest bathroom where she knew she would hide from any inquisitive teachers until second period. No point going to her first period class, the teacher never took attendance anyways. Honestly she didn’t see the point of school, she was doing it for her mother. One month, she had one month until she graduated. Sydney walked into school the next morning, bleary eyed and grumbling. The chances that it would happen right over his small town, it was amazing. Such large meteors were rare, and even rarer that they hit the atmosphere so directly. Evan watched until they had faded and then walked back to his house. There was a flash as it hit the edge of the atmosphere and then little white pieces flew in all directions like some kind of eerie firework. Usually he would have stayed inside but tonight he had a once in a lifetime chance to watch a meteor splinter directly overhead in the night sky. It was late spring, close enough that summer would be coming soon but still brisk at night. The TBDL, the bedwetter and the sleepoverĮvan sighed and breathed in the cool night air.
