The Reluctant Star

"Hi, everyone!" Misty could hear her Mommy exclaim from the other room, making her pause mid-game and look up at her 'sister', Lauryn, with a blush on her cheeks. Lauryn heard it too, obviously, and of course her reaction was just the opposite, a grin spreading behind her pacifier as she adjusted her dress, getting ready.

"Lauryn," Misty said uncertainly, shy as ever, "do you really... like this?"

"Like what?" Lauryn asked, moving on to the other girl, pulling her shirt up over the waistband of her diaper. Misty hadn't been trying to cover anything - the shirt stopped well short of being long enough to cover the diaper, and, while they were both pink, they were different enough shades that there was no way, even on a phone screen, anyone would think they were the same thing - but, unlike Lauryn, who seemed like so much more of an expert on this already, despite both of them being at this the same amount of time, she hadn't thought about how the shirt was hiding the diaper's logo. "I mean, it's not so bad being your sister," she teased, tapping Misty on the nose.

"Th-That's not what I meant," Misty squirmed, staring down at the floor, almost giving up already. It wasn't entirely accurate to say that she and Lauryn had been strangers before they'd gotten adopted... They'd gone to college together. They'd shared a few classes, in fact. Misty had never actually spoken to Lauryn then, however... Lauryn was always so pretty, so popular, and Misty mostly stayed to herself, or her small, tight-knit group of friends, too intimidated to even think about approaching someone like Lauryn. "You know... The videos?"

"They're great, aren't they?" Lauryn grinned, seemingly already forgetting the original question... Which, in its own way, answered it. "Wasn't it cool when we were out shopping the other day and somebody recognized us?"

Misty stayed quiet for a moment. She'd prefer not to have people she didn't know come up to her out of nowhere, especially those who knew her from all the things Mommy showed her doing on the vlog. Sometimes, it felt like the whole world knew that Misty had gotten demoted to diapers, while Lauryn was still getting to wear trainers; she'd made the mistake once of looking at the comments for that video, and, though some people seemed to feel sorry for her, most of them were talking about how adorable she was, how that was where she belonged...

Misty was certain that wasn't it at all. Sure, she'd been having some accidents lately - so had Lauryn! There was no doubt in her mind that it was because of the brand of formula that Mommy had partnered with, that they always had to drink at least one bottle of during a vlog, and talk about how tasty it was, and how much they loved it. It had been their first partnership, the one that they'd been doing the longest, so it made sense that it would be responsible. Misty suspected that the diaper brand she was in now was their newest one... Mommy was always asking her on camera how they felt, if she thought they were comfy, talking about how much they held... 

The only thing she didn't understand was why Lauryn wasn't wearing them, too, in that case. Was Mommy waiting for a better offer? Maybe seeing if another brand wanted in on this, or for this one to pony up a little more money for both girls? She didn't know... She also didn't know why, if she was right, that Mommy had chosen her to go into diapers first. Wouldn't Lauryn have been better? She was great at pretending she loved the formula, and the baby food that sponsored them off and on, while it always took Misty a minute or two of hemming and hawing to think of something new to say

Or... Was that the reason? Was it a punishment for how quiet she was in the videos most of the time, standing back while Lauryn did it all? She didn't particularly like being on camera at all, but she saw how happy it made Lauryn, and Mommy... And, if one of their videos got a lot of views, both she and Lauryn got rewarded, so she put up with it, finding that easier than raising a fuss about not wanting the world to get a peek into her new life like this.

"I-I guess," she shrugged. 'Great' was not at all the word she'd have used... It wasn't worth fighting about, however, and if Lauryn wasn't on her side, then she had no real hope of putting a stop to this.

Before Lauryn could answer, the door to the nursery burst open and Mommy strode in, towering over them, her camera staring down at them. "Say good morning, babies!" she cooed.

Lauryn waved enthusiastically, and Misty did her best to copy her, but, as always, she didn't feel like she did as well as her sister. It came so naturally to Lauryn... Maybe, if Mommy saw she was trying, though, that would be enough for her. Maybe she'd start looking for a brand of trainers to sponsor them, if she wasn't already... Or maybe she'd have Lauryn show them off. Misty didn't hate Lauryn, didn't want her to be punished... She'd been in diapers long enough, however, and if the only way to get out of them was for Lauryn to wear them instead, well... That was a sacrifice Misty was willing to make.

"What's going on in here?" Mommy asked, kneeling down to get a shot of the game they'd been playing. "Who's winning?"

Misty wasn't sure; she'd just been enjoying having some time off from performing for the camera. Lauryn, on the other hand, answered automatically, "Me!" and, after a brief glimpse at the board, Misty could see that was definitely true.

"Of course you are," Mommy chuckled knowingly, Misty blushing and wiggling in place. "Oh, I'm sure you're doing your best, Misty," Mommy smiled, reaching out, giving Misty's diaper a pat. "Uh-oh... Do you need a change already?"

"No," Misty answered automatically. She didn't recall using her diaper, after all. Now that Mommy mentioned it, though, it was feeling pretty soggy... When had that happened? She blushed as Mommy handed the camera over to Lauryn, who was also so much better at being a camera-person than Misty was, when needed, and then picked Misty up, carrying her over to the changing table.

Misty squirmed on her back, wanting so badly to ask Mommy if they really needed to change her on camera like this, if they couldn't just stop recording... Most of it would be cut out, and Lauryn was short enough that not much would be seen anyway, but simply the thought of it was plenty embarrassing. She didn't want to be difficult, however, wanted to show that she was trying, so that maybe Mommy would reconsider about her diapers.

"I don't think I've told you all this," Mommy turned to the camera, expertly continuing to untape Misty's diaper, not even needing to look at it as she worked. "We were out for a walk - comment if you'd like to see another video where I take you with us! - and I forgot to bring a change with me. Well, Misty said she wouldn't need it, but Mommy should have known better." Misty whimpered, and Mommy patted her thigh gently. "Wouldn't you know it, she wet herself almost as soon as we were out of the neighborhood! She was in it for quite a while... It's a good thing I had Little Smile diaper rash cream and baby oil when I got home, isn't it?"

An ad... Misty watched as Mommy held up the products to the camera. It was also true, but that was beside the point. "Y-Yes, Mommy," she made herself say, glad that it was left at that, and she wasn't expected to gush about how incredible the products were. Once her diaper was back on, she realized that Lauryn probably would have done it anyway, that maybe she should have, too... She was never going to get out of diapers at this rate!

"I-I don't have any rash at all anymore!" she piped up, Mommy tilting her head, looking confused, the moment long gone.

"That's good, sweetie," she patted Misty on the head. "Here, why don't you sit up here while I see how Lauryn's trainers are doing?" She lifted Misty up into her crib, leaving her there to watch as Mommy took the camera from Lauryn, pointed it at her. "Let's see, Lauryn!"

"I know that I'm dry, Mommy!" Lauryn declared as she unbuttoned her shorts. "I didn't feel any cold at all!" Misty shivered, remembering, when she was still in the training pants, how any accident would make the padding turn chilly for a moment, which was so much more noticeable, and harder to ignore, than the warm squishiness she got from her diapers. "Ta-da!" Lauryn posed, showing off her dry trainers proudly. "Did I do good, Mommy?" Then she giggled, whispered, "Look at Misty, Mommy."

Misty frowned, not knowing what was going on at first as the camera was trained on her once more, while she stayed in her crib, on her hands and knees... Until she noticed a smell, and a mushy sensation in the seat of her diaper...

"See?" Mommy declared. "This was just what I told you all earlier... Go back and watch carefully, and you'll see Misty showing all the signs of an impending messy diaper! I'd say number one is the fact that it always happens after a diaper change, no matter how close an eye you keep on everything else... It's almost like they know, but of course that isn't true. We go through so many diapers a day because of that, don't we, Misty?"

Misty was mortified; had Mommy really known this was going to happen?! Misty herself had been totally oblivious... Had she been showing signs of it? Or was Mommy going to go back and record that part later, and make sure she said things that Misty was doing to make it look like she was smarter than she was? Misty wiggled her bottom, feeling the mass shift, her cheeks burning. Could it be that she was wrong? Was Mommy keeping her in diapers not as a punishment, but because she really needed them? She couldn't possibly be that far gone already... Could she?!

No, that wasn't it... She shook her head, forcing a smile behind her paci. If she could be a perfect little star for Mommy, Mommy would let her wear training panties again, too, she was sure of it.

"Yes, Mommy," she nodded. "So many!"

"Good girl," Mommy told her. "This video is going to do so well..."

Misty squirmed, thinking about all those eyes on her as she filled her pants, seeing her do something so incredibly babyish... But also about how happy Mommy seemed to be about it, how glad Lauryn would be if this video broke their record. "I-I'm glad, Mommy," she said, and, to some degree, she even meant it.
