"Yes!", Theo exclaimed as he stretched out his arms and legs. Even though the teddy suit had been designed for maximum comfort, it was still just a pleasure to be out and able to stretch and move freely. Theo took a moment to look over the suit. Now that he was out, he could be a bit more objective about being bound in there. It really was a beautiful bit of engineering. Outwardly, it looked like just another cuddly stuffed teddy bear. Theo had to admit it looked cute even empty. And now that he was outside looking in, he could see the infamous 'harness' that his aunt had designed. It was hard to see how it looked, it was just like a partial mitten you could slip your hand into. How was it able to make him into a puppet? He felt inside the suit, feeling the padded yet unyielding frame concealed within. If there's one thing Theo would never forget, it was being unable to control his limbs. The feeling of someone else moving his limbs for him was uncomfortable physically... But far more mentally. Being moved and posed by someone else, you couldn't help but feel like a puppet. An object for the amusement of others. Just thinking about it made him want to move around, his limbs obeying as expected.
He stretched out, reaching for the ceiling. He was so excited, he forgot for a moment he was standing there in the custom underwear his aunt had designed... And nothing else. He shook his head, immediately feeling the curls that his aunt had put in his hair bouncing around, tickling his back and shoulders. He reached up to touch the Shirley temple curls. They had relaxed over the evening so now they just looked more like loose banana curls. Theo again cursed that he'd let his hair grow so long. At the time, defying his aunt and refusing to get it cut had been a way for him to show he didn't care what she thought. But now, it was being used to make him look like a girl! Theo cut his contemplation short when he looked over and saw the dominatrix watching Theo carefully. She was still wearing black, but now it was just a simple black dress and tights. That made her look much less intimidating than she had been earlier. Not to mention she seemed to be a less intense, even the hint of a smile. What was she thinking? Theo stopped for a moment, looking at his near nakedness and felt a bit self-conscious. He was going to say something to the dominatrix but... What should he call her? He had learned that the dominatrix was the older sister of his classmate, Emily Stewart. So naturally she would have to be Miss Stewart. Or at least that would make sense right? He couldn't just call her 'Dominatrix'. That would sound stupid. In mid-stretch, Theo decided to just ask.
"Do I call you 'Miss Stewart'?". At first she frowned, thinking he was being a smart alec, but that faded when she realized he wasn't mocking and it was an earnest question. She paused, giving it some thought.
"Call me 'Eden'", she replied. Eden the dominatrix. Theo was pretty sure he'd heard people calling her something else at the party, but he didn't see any reason to argue with her. "Now come on. It's time for you to go to bed. You're going to have a long day tomorrow."
Theo was already thinking about what was to come tomorrow. He knew Emily and her friends were having a sleepover. He'd occasionally heard them giggling from wherever they were in the house, but he hadn't seen them. And he didn't have to know any more than that to know he wanted nothing to do with their little party either. Eden was blackmailing him because he'd destroyed the priceless porcelain doll that belonged to the Stewart family. In order to pay her back, she had told him he was going to have to do whatever she or Emily told him to do all weekend. Then, on top of that, once the weekend was over she was going to dress him up in a Halloween costume for school on Monday. HAH! Fat chance of that! Theo might have agreed to it, but he had no intentions of holding up his end of the bargain. He'd felt somewhat helpless in the bear costume, but now that he was out, he was quickly becoming his old arrogant self again. He was already thinking how he could escape. When he was restrained, and Eden was all done up in her dominatrix gear, Theo wouldn't have considered it. Now, by the light of day, seeing Eden looking more like a normal human... Her long dark hair no longer pulled back severely, instead it hung loose and soft. Instead of a corset and spikes, she was wearing an oversize t-shirt dress. Instead of fishnets and thigh high buckled boots, she wore black tights and ballet slippers. Theo no longer feared her.
Theo looked around. The whole house still bore all the signs that it had recently hosted a party. Furniture was moved about, there were half-eaten bowls of party food and a smattering of empty glasses. But if you looked closer, you could see things you wouldn't expect. There were piles of pillows, cushions, stuffed animals, toys and games scattered all about surfaces and floor. If not for the fact everything was adult sized, you would believe a huge party for toddlers had just happened in the house. Theo just shivered at the thought.
"What a bunch of weirdos." he mumbled under his breath.
Eden took the opportunity to direct him forward, out of the room. Theo rightly guessed that she was taking him to where he'd sleep. Theo thought about making his escape right this instant. He could club Eden in the head when she wasn't looking and run for it. She might be bigger than him, but she was only a girl. Theo knew that girls were flighty, delicate creatures who would crumple into a ball of tears if you messed up their hair. However, Theo wasn't stupid. First of all, he needed some clothes. How far could he get in his underwear? And second, he had no idea what trips or tricks Eden might have planned. This was her home. She might have a weapon hidden nearby. No, for now he had to be patient. Get to learn the lay of the land. She might be older than him, but she was just a dumb girl. Theo was sure he could outsmart her and get her to reveal what he needed to know. So for now he moved where she directed. But maybe, he wondered, he could get her to address the clothing situation right now? That way, he'd have some clothes whenever the opportunity to escape happened.
"Is this all I'm going to wear?" He said, pointing at the very tightly fitting underwear with the hard plastic cup protecting his... Boy parts, yet wide enough to force him to waddle slightly as he walked. When he looked up at Eden's amused smile, he felt like maybe he should have kept his mouth shut.
"Oh, are you looking for something to wear to bed? I thought you might just be fine in your underwear. But if Goldilocks wants something to wear... we have lots of wonderful fashions you could try out!" Theo bristled at the nickname, but still knew better than to react to her obvious goading.
"Oh no, I'm fine" he quickly responded, not liking the direction this was taking. He'd seen enough of the weird outfits those freaks wore to know that the underwear was the safe choice.
"Nonsense! I'm sure I can find you something since you asked so nicely!" Eden walked Theo into a bedroom. It was immediately clear that this room had been set up for the party. It was made up like an infants bedroom, including bright colours, filled with stuffed animals, a rocking horse, several toys like building block and a very obvious changing table and crib. The only difference is that the stuffed animals, the changing table.... Everything was adult sized!
Theo again cursed his small frame as he was suddenly lifted off the ground by Eden. He noticed how little effort it took her to lift his weight. He couldn't help but see that she did it with no strain at all, belying a considerable strength on her part. Theo was upset with being lifted into the air, his feet kicking helplessly. He briefly considered kicking her or fighting back some other way, but he wasn't sure how far he could get in his underwear and, even thought he'd never admit it to anyone, being lifted off his feet so easily had shaken him. So when she placed him on the changing table, he just laid there. When she quickly yanked his underwear off, he barely had time for a 'HEY!' before she was lifting his legs, his bottom rising from the table and the largest diaper he'd ever seen was slid underneath. Theo felt as if he was now seated on a pillow. Theo had a brief deja vu moment as he realized where the changing table he'd seen in his aunts workshop had come from... But then he was interrupted by the cold powder that Eden was sprinkling over his bare skin.
"Hey, that's cold." he complained. The only response from Eden was a raised eyebrow, as she folded the crinkly garment up over Theo. Soon Theo was taped into this over-sized, heavily padded diaper. With his legs up in the air, the plastic diaper cover was over his legs and halfway over the diaper before Theo even realized what was going on. Theo just had time for another 'HEY!' as Eden clicked shut a little lock around the waist of the diaper cover. As she lifted him from the table and placed him on the ground, Theo quickly realized he couldn't bring his legs together. The padding between was much thicker than the plastic pad in the underwear he had been wearing, so thick that he had to stand in a wide stance just to keep on his feet. He couldn't really walk, all Theo could do was waddle. But now that he was standing, Theo could look down to see the diaper cover was a pink plastic, with rows and rows of purple ruffles on the backside! He tried some half-hearted tugs, but he could see that lock making sure there was no way it or the diaper was coming off. Looking up, instead of the scary dominatrix he was used to, Eden had a smile on her face like a little girl with a puppy. She reached down and gave him a solid pat on his padded behind.
"Goldilocks! You have the cutest little rufflebutt! You should have told me you look so good in ruffles!", Eden gushed as she ran her hands over his ruffled behind, pushing Theo forward. Theo could feel the anger rising within him, but he held it in. If he'd been uncertain about running away in his underwear, he was certain he wouldn't be able to run far in an enormous diaper that forced his legs apart. Tugging slightly at the chain, he realized he had to figure out how to get that off before he tried any escape. But a wave of fatigue hit him. It had been a long, eventful day. Maybe just waiting for morning was the best idea.
"Can I just go to bed now?" he asked in a low, even tone. Eden seemed even more amused.
"Of course not! You need a shirt or you'll be cold!" Theo didn't really have an answer to that, so he stood quietly waiting as Eden started digging through drawers looking. After a few minutes, she seemed to find what she was looking for and Theo could see the shirt that she'd pulled out was pink and frilly. Of course. Sighing with resignation, he raised his hands so she could pull it over his head. Even with Theo's tiny frame, it was a struggle to get his arms through the arm holes and his head popped out only after even more struggle. Theo's head had only just popped out when he heard a click from the back of his neck. Taking a look down, he knew once again that Eden had tricked him. This was no t-shirt, instead it was a little doll dress! From the frilly collar around the neck to the puff bell sleeves to the frilly skirt attached... And of course because it was a tiny dress masquerading as a shirt, the skirt ended before the diaper, leaving the diaper and Theo's ruffled butt in full view.
As Theo looked at himself, he felt his hair being gathered up, and Eden put something on his head. "Isn't this a darling sleep bonnet?" she asked while smiling. Theo decided not to say anything, and just watch her tie a little bow in the front of the bonnet. "That will keep your hair from tangling overnight. What a great idea you had!" Trying to avoid her teasing, Theo turned his back on her, but she just grabbed him under his arms and quickly dropped him into the oversize crib.
Theo looked around the crib. Besides a blanket and pillow decorated with Disney's Tinkerbell, there were a handful of stuffed animals in there as well. Unexpectedly, Eden gave him a push and he fell backwards. As Theo laid down, Eden swung a barred gate over the top of the crib. With the click of a lock, Theo was trapped in a cage disguised as a baby's crib! He grabbed what looked like cheap plastic bars, only to find they were as sturdy as steel. He didn't need to look at Eden's gloating face or the big, metal padlock to know he was not getting out until Eden let him out.
"Sleep tight! As I said, you have a full day ahead of you tomorrow." Eden sang. As Theo sat there, holding the bars like a prisoner in a jail, his fury rose. He realized he was looking forward to tomorrow. Theo would have his revenge on Eden... On all these girls. His Napoleon/little-man complex raged at the disrespect these girls were giving him. They were mad he'd destroyed a doll? He'd destroy ALL of their dolls. He'd tear apart all their stuffed animals. He'd destroy their outfits. He'd light a huge fire and burn all their most valuable possessions! And then he'd turn his fury on the girls! Soon, he would have them helpless, begging for him not to take his revenge on them all. And he'd ignore their pleas of mercy, making them all regret having thought they could control the mighty T-Dog!!
He drifted off to sleep, imagining them all running in fear from him. And he smiled an extremely evil little smile.
