Ruby’s Visit: Toddler Teacher
 Rox felt silly standing there in the den, t-shirt doing very little to hide the substantial padding that she sported between her legs. Usually she didn’t have an issue with showing off her diapers, but there was something about doing so while attempting to access a vulnerable headspace that added an unfamiliar element of embarrassment. Ruby Smiled up at the fox, standing a handful of inches shorter, and wagged her tail, whipping it back and forth so that it gently impacted her skirt with each motion, paff paff paff paff.
 “Okay, step one is to look the part!” Ruby said, holding up a finger and staring Rox up and down, “I’d say you’ve got that covered. Step two is the hard part, letting go of inhibition! You may have noticed it’s easier to get into headspace when you’ve had a few ‘big kid drinks’, and I think for practice, you’re gonna need something stronger than apple juice.” Ruby pulled a thermos from her bag, popped the lid open, and offered it to Rox.
 “What is it?” The fox asked suspiciously, taking the thermos.
 “Nothin’ poison!” Ruby promised, “Just a lil somethin’ to help you loosen up. Gotta bring those playtime thoughts to the surface without being dismissed!” Rox took a sip. It was vodka and Blue Cow. The fox made a face, attempting to pass the thermos back to Ruby.
 “Not an energy drink girly?” The wolf asked, not taking the thermos, “Either way, if you’re serious about learning how to get into headspace, it would reeeeeeally help if you drank it. Pleeeeeease?” Puppy eyes once again proved themselves an effective motivator, and Rox crumbled. With a sigh of regret, the fox held her breath and took several long draws from the thermos’ straw, doing her best not to taste the cocktail as she did so.
 “Yuck” The fox complained, passing the thermos back to Ruby.
 “Ohhh, don’t be a baby about it,” the wolf replied, unscrewing the thermos to check that Rox actually had drunk it, “Wait, actually do be a baby about it, if you wanna.” Nodding her head, satisfied that the fox had imbibed a suitable amount of the beverage, Ruby sealed the thermos and put it in her bag.
 “Actually, that’s good practice!” Ruby voiced, perking up, “The more you act like a kid, the more you feel like a kid, and the more you feel like a kid, the easier it is to act like one, understand?” The wolf asked, tail once more going paff paff paff against the fabric of her skirtalls.
 “Not… really…?” Rox replied, trying and failing to follow Ruby through the hoops of logic the wolf was jumping through.
 “Good! Kids don’t understand much at all, so neither should you!” Ruby exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement, “Sooooo, why didn’t you like the drink?”
 “I’m just not a fan of energy drinks,” Rox shrugged, “Like you said.” The wolf shook her head at this, making a disapproving noise as if her friend's answer had somehow been incorrect.
 “No, no, no, simplify. Complete sentences aren’t needed. Baby talk goo-goo stuff isn’t particularly constructive, either. If you had to pick one adjective to describe your total distaste for Blue Cow, what would it be?” After a moment of thought, Rox replied, though it was more of a question than a statement.
 “Foul?”
 “Good!” applauded Ruby, “Now, there are synonyms for foul that sound more childish, namely ‘icky’ and ‘yucky’. We can work on your vocabulary this weekend too, so let’s start there! So again, why didn’t you like the drink in the thermos?”
 “It’s… Icky?” Rox said, feeling more like she was in a language studies course rather than standing half-naked in the den.
 “Good! Now say it with more conviction! Say it like you mean it! Say it like you’re angry at the drink for ever having existed! Throw in a foot stomp if you’re feeling extra spicy! Kids can’t control their emotions! This is for stress relief! So go ahead and relieve some stress! WHY didn’t you like the drink in the thermos?” Ruby’s question marked an end to her pep talk, and there was a moment of silence before Rox realized it was her cue.
 “It’s ICKY!” The fox replied hesitantly, stamping her foot and balling her hands into fists, “It’s icky and I don’t LIKE it!” Once more, silence filled the den. Rox could feel the hot blush on her face as she was met again with choking embarrassment, and she had to restrain herself from cringing at her own sentence.
 “That was… SO GOOD!” Ruby exclaimed, rushing the fox and wrapping her in a hug, “You did so good! Star student! Good puppy good puppy good puppy!” Reaching up, the wolf scratched behind Rox’s ears, the fox’s tension dissipating slightly as a result.
 “Another thing you need to learn is how to respond to praise! You’re just a kit! If you’re happy, let it be known! Let me hear it!” Rox concentrated for a moment, focusing on the euphoria of being told she had done well, managing to let go of a handful of chirps and purrs that she only now realized she had been holding back. The two stood there for a few moments, enjoying each other’s embrace before stepping apart.
 “Okay,” Ruby said, preparing to resume instruction, “Being a kid is a skill that needs to be practiced, so you’re gonna practice lots and lots! Any time aunt Izzy or I ask you a question this weekend, I want you to take a moment and think of a childish response that has the same meaning as what your ‘big kid’ response would be. Can you do that for me?” The wolf queried, looking expectantly at Rox.
 “Y-yeah, I think- er. Yes.” The fox responded, catching herself halfway through the sentence to practice her teacher’s instructions.
 “Cool! Lesson three is playing! Whether it’s house, blocks, or just ‘playing toys’, it can be hard to re-learn after growing up in a world where ‘being childish’ is an insult…” Ruby spent the next couple of hours instructing Rox on the dos and donts of collaborative improvisation and storytelling, only pausing when Izzy returned, having stepped out during the wolf’s earlier instruction.
 “Heya girls!” Izzy chirped, “Sorry to barge in, I just want to make sure that Roxanne doesn’t need her diaper changed. Can’t have a kit dribbling all over the floor now, can we?” Izzy confidently strode towards the fox, Rox freezing and growing red at her partner’s comment. A quick pat to the girl's behind, and a gentle squeeze of the fox’s diaper front ensured Izzy that her ‘little one’ was in no need of a change. Regardless, the owl hummed to herself in disappointment.
 “Still dry… We need to get you more liquids, puppy. I’ll bring you a sippy of water, and I want you to drink it all, okay? And Rubella, how are you doing? You know that you can come to me if you need anything, right?”
 “Yes aunt Izzy! Thank you aunt Izzy!” Ruby responded, beaming and wagging her tail, “May I please have some more juice please?” The wolf asked, holding out her sippy cup for the owl to take.
 “Of course you may! And I know you’re a big girl, but have you had any trouble making it to the potty?” Izzy took the cup, smiling down at the wolf as she waited for a response.
 “No! I’ve been really good about using the potty and flushing and washing my hands and all of that big girl stuff!” Ruby smiled, turning in place so her skirtalls swished side to side.
 “Wonderful,” came Izzy’s remark as she strode towards the kitchen, “I’ll be right back, ladies.” Once Izzy was gone, Rox turned an accusatory eye towards her friend.
 “You haven’t left this room once,” the fox said, “There’s no chance you’ve used the toilet since you got here!” The devilish grin that spread across Ruby’s face informed Rox that the wolf was plotting something.
 “Oh? And you’re a potty-using expert are you?” the wolf teased, “I guess that’s why you’re the one in big thick diapers that you’re not allowed to take off, riiiight?” Ruby got the blush she sought from the fox, who tried to pull her t-shirt down to hide the significant padding encumbering her.
 “S-still!” Rox muttered, “You’re fibbing, and fibbing’s wrong!”
 “So?” asked the wolf, shrugging her shoulders, “Whatcha gonna do? Tattle on me, diaper butt?” Another flush of red flashed across Rox’s muzzle at the casual mention of her padding, but she stood her ground.
 “Maybe I will!” The fox huffed, crossing her arms as she pouted, waiting eagerly for Izzy’s return. Ruby just smiled.
 Izzy soon returned, sippy cups in hand. Once she had distributed the drinks, she sat down on the couch, deciding she would spend some more time with the girls. Hesitantly, Rox stood up from the cross-legged position that she had assumed, giving a glance towards the still-grinning wolf, who was able to show an impressive amount of smiling teeth, despite being in the process of downing her fresh beverage. With a look of determination, Rox strode over to the couch, climbing up on it, and whispering something softly into Izzy’s ear. The owl’s brow raised as she listened, before commenting in a soft voice.
 “Is this true, Roxanne?” Izzy asked, turning to look her partner in the eyes as the fox nodded her head, “Well then. I suppose I’ll have to check her myself. Rubella darling? Are you certain you’ve been making it to the potty?”
 “Yes aunt Izzy!” came the wolf’s cheerful reply, trying and failing to continue drinking juice while she talked, causing her to splutter slightly.
 “Would you mind standing up and showing me?” the owl asked, “Rox seems to think you may have had an accident.”
 “Nuh-uh, all dry, see?” Ruby grinned, bouncing to her feet and lifting up the hem of her skirtalls to show off her pullups. Her damp, yellowed, and drooping pullups. Rox was awash with validation as she observed, particularly enjoying how the large, pink flower that had fully covered the crotch of the thing was now only a magenta outline, having faded from its wearer saturating it with pee. The fox turned towards Izzy, a smug look on her muzzle as her partner stood up, walked a few steps, and kneeled down to more thoroughly inspect the wolf’s undergarment.
 “Hmm,” Izzy muttered, cupping the yellowed padding and allowing her fingers to dance across the plastic, gently squishing and prodding. The inspection caused Ruby to blush, the fuzz on her face growing a shade darker at the owl’s intimate touch. A rivulet of pee ran down the wolf’s leg, Izzy having squeezed perhaps a mite too hard, and it made a damp spot on the puppy pad Ruby was standing on, finally christening the otherwise pristine surface.
 “Seems perfectly dry to me,” Izzy stated, rising to her feet, “My apologies, Rubella, it would appear that the little one has made a mistake. She’s only a baby, after all.” Turning back towards the couch, Izzy’s gaze met with the incredulous look on Rox’s face.
 “B-But, but,” the wolf began, stumbling over her words in confusion, “She’s soaked! She’s leaking! She wet herself before I did, and she’s supposed to be the big girl!” Izzy tsked, ruffling Rox’s head fluff with a hand.
 “I think she might just be jealous of your pretty pullups, Rubella. Pay her no mind. Now, you girls play nice, I’ll be right here if you need anything.” And with that, Izzy shooed Rox off the couch, stretching out across it as she picked up a book from a nearby table, and flipped to her marked page. Rox was in shock as she clambered back down to the floor, a look of betrayal affixing itself on her face. What was going on? Were the other two colluding to make her look foolish? That had to be it, unless she had been drugged or something? But the fox didn’t think Izzy’s enjoyment of intoxication play extended to ‘dosing her partner unwillingly with hallucinogens’. Rox looked up from her spot on the floor, forcing herself to meet Ruby’s smug expression head on.
 “What’s wrong, puppy?” The wolf asked, feigning ignorance to Rox’s source of irritation, “Are you just jealous of my pullies? You can come take a closer look if you like! I don’t mind!” As much as the fox didn’t want to indulge Ruby’s gloating, she crawled slowly across the floor, swapping her attention to the insufficient padding drooping between the wolf’s thighs. Rox crept closer, her eyes skimming the gentle yellow-white marbling that the pullup had taken on. Moving even closer, she noted the distinct smell of urine, the scent making the fox shiver with excitement. Finally, Rox stopped, her snout millimeters away from the subtly bulging plastic.
 “Well?” Ruby asked, staring down with that grin still on her face, “Don’t you want a closer look?” And with that, the wolf took a step forward, forcing Rox’s snout in between her legs, settling her pullup on the fox’s nose like some sort of perverted treat. A surprised whine was all Rox managed before she was trapped between Ruby’s thighs, the close encounter with warm, heavily scented padding making her dizzy. A hand pressed against the back of the fox’s head encouraged her to remain in that position, not that Rox was intent on leaving. The fox closed her eyes, devoting her senses of touch and smell entirely towards enjoying the sensations Ruby was providing. The wolf’s quiet sigh didn’t register to Rox’s ears, and it wasn’t until she felt the pullup growing warmer that the fox realized what Ruby was doing.
 Rox’s eyes shot open just as the wolf’s leak guards failed, a dual-pronged stream of piss pouring down Ruby’s leg, and dribbling down the fox’s snout, dripping off her chin. The quiet pitter-patter of pee on the puppy pad covered carpet lasted only a short while, as Ruby didn’t have much to give, but that short while was enough to set Rox’s own bladder in motion.
 The fox didn’t feel herself release, as she and Izzy had discussed previously that she wouldn’t be needing bathroom control for this weekend, and as such they had taken measures to make it so, but Rox still felt the warm swelling sensation between her legs as her pastel-patterned diaper filled with fox piss. Despite having done it hundreds of times before, wetting herself still sent Rox into a tizzy, the already present arousal in her loins spiking as she unwillingly emptied her bladder. She needed to breed something now, and it seemed Ruby was in a similar situation, teasingly grinding her padding against Rox’s snout before stepping backwards and letting the fox get some air.
 “How’s that for a pullup inspection?” Ruby grinned, swaying her hips from side to side as she allowed her skirtalls to fall back down, once again covering her yellowed padding. After a moment of thought to derive a properly childish response, Rox piped up.
 “Very good,” She said, tail wagging as she stared longingly at the wolf’s skirtalls, “But I think I want a turn playing teacher.”
 “Oh yeah?” Ruby asked, smirking, “And what would you teach me, o’ great and powerful pisser of pants?”
 “Well, I suppose we’ll start at lesson one,” Rox replied, slowly climbing to her feet, “How to get a pretty girl to cum.” And with that, the fox rushed Ruby, giggling as she tackled the wolf to the floor.
