Sierra could hardly believe how quickly her luck seemed to be turning around. This was exactly what she wanted, and she hadn't even had to find a way to finagle the woman into doing it! Not wanting to seem too eager, she'd simply nodded, "O-Okay," and began to eat her muffin, eager to get started.

"I'll get you something to wear," Sugarplum said, making the dough man dance as she left. Sierra watched, giggling at the thing's antics, and at what she could do with this sort of magic if she could just learn it, while she devoured her breakfast, which was just as delicious as the cake last night had been.

By the time she finished, Sugarplum had returned with a yellow polka dot dress, a white cami and knee socks, and her own shoes. Sierra could help but notice there were no panties to go with it, and she couldn't bring herself to ask about it. The idea was embarrassing enough, and she didn't want to be told no, which seemed likely given what Sugarplum had witnessed the night before.

At Sugarplum's signal, the dough man grabbed the bowl it had been under, flipping it back over and crawling under it again with a final wave to finish rising. The thought of it eventually being formed into some sort of pastry and baked in the huge ovens in the back of the kitchen made her a bit uncomfortable, but she had to remember it was just dough, even though that was difficult after watching it cavort around.

"I guess I'll head back upstairs and change," Sierra said as she took the clothes from Sugarplum.

"It'll be quicker just to use the stall in the bathroom down here," Sugarplum pointed out. The very idea of going out into the crowd of people already gathered in the bakery dressed as she was made Sierra blush, something the other woman noticed. Sugarplum grinned, her sweet personality cracking a bit as she mocked, "Are you afraid to go out there? I'm sure nobody will notice! In fact, why don't I just take these back?"

Sierra gave a little gasp as Sugarplum pulled the clothes back out of her arms, setting them on the counter before grabbing Sierra herself and half pushing her back up onto the stool. "I think what you're wearing now will work just fine for going out, don't you?" she asked, taking the socks and starting to pull them up over Sierra's feet, glancing up at her face every now and then as if she were expecting something other than a look of increasing horror. It grew even more pronounced as she moved on to the shoes, then yanked Sierra back down off the stool, grasping her hand and pulling her towards the kitchen door.

Sierra whimpered and struggled, but Sugarplum had over six inches on her, and she had to admit she had gotten rather used to letting magic take care of the toughest of her physical tasks. Without it, she felt completely helpless, especially when dragging her feet did nothing to slow Sugarplum down from taking her outside in just a t-shirt and trainers. Transforming for this really would be a waste, she knew, and would make her look even more childish. She was practically in tears by the time Sugarplum gave up, her hand on the kitchen door.

"Hey, calm down," she said with a giggle, her usual light tone suddenly back. "I was just teasing! I wouldn't do that to you!" She gave Sierra a hug, guiding her back to the counter, where she grabbed her book. "How I about I go out to the front for a minute and you can just change here?" she offered. Sierra, eyes still watering, nodded.

Sugarplum left her alone, and Sierra could have sworn she heard the woman mumble, "I should have known it wouldn't be so easy," though with how busy the store was, it was hard to tell exactly what was being said, or who was saying it.

After that little fright, Sierra almost wished Sugarplum hadn't left her alone there, and let her go back upstairs after all. As she pulled the t-shirt off, she could see a small spot on the Pull-Ups where the designs had faded, indicating the little accident she'd had. She hadn't been able to help it, of course, but she could still hardly believe her body had betrayed her like that again. If she really had gone out without getting dressed, having wet training pants would have made it even more humiliating! She wondered if she could convince Sugarplum to let her go upstairs anyway, but it wasn't like she had brought anything with her other than the clothes she assumed were in a hamper somewhere, so there was no reason for her to go there.

She sighed and began to pull on the camisole, telling herself the wet spot wasn't that bad. Of course, in the place she'd just come from, it would have been enough to earn her a spanking and a diapering, and probably worse if she tried to hide it, but thankfully she was no longer there, even if she was still feeling the effects because of the curse.

The outfit was big on her, especially in the chest area of the dress, making Sierra glad Sugarplum had given her the cami for underneath. It wasn't perfect, since it was big as well, but it was better than nothing. If she just had her wand, it would be a snap to resize the dress so it fit her perfectly, but that was obviously not a very smart use of her transformed time.

Sierra didn't hear Sugarplum knock, but it was getting a bit loud on the other side of the door, so she knew it was possible she had just missed it. The woman smirked at the sight of Sierra, reaching into the pocket of her apron and pulling out a handful of stuff, fishing out a few safety pins before putting the rest back. For a moment, Sierra thought she spotted a few old, bent, rusted nails among the things Sugarplum had been holding, but that didn't make any sense. Why would a baker need those?

After a few moments, Sugarplum had folded the fabric over, securing it in place with the safety pins. It still looked a bit odd, and the whole thing was longer than it was clearly meant to be, but that was fine, since it would keep what was underneath hidden more easily.

"There, that's better!" Sugarplum declared. "All right, come on!" Sugarplum grabbed the book and Sierra's hand, leading her further into the kitchen, past the ovens, which seemed much larger than should have been necessary for the things Sierra had seen out in the shop, but what did she know about baking? There was another door hidden past all that, leading to a long hallway, tilted downward, leading them deeper and deeper underground. At the end of that was another door, and Sugarplum stopped at that one to give Sierra a teasing smile. "I should probably warn you to brace yourself. Wouldn't want another accident, would we?"

Sierra squirmed and blushed and shook her head, half worried that Sugarplum somehow already knew about her accident, or was about to check her. Fortunately, the latter didn't happen, and if the former was true, her companion gave no sign of it. She had no idea what to expect on the other side of the door, so she tried to prepare herself as best she could while Sugarplum opened it.

It wasn't enough, though the shock wasn't as jolting and close quarters as the exploding candy from the night before, so her pants stayed as relatively dry as they had been. Her mind still reeled as she walked slowly into the room, however, which was also much larger than she would have expected, and filled with what looked like living food of all shapes and sizes, from regular sized gingerbread men and women living in a gingerbread house, to something that seemed to be a giant pit of melted ice cream, though when they walked by, Sierra could see eyes blinking on the surface. It was all very impressive, in a way, but it also made her skin crawl.

Especially the thing in the very back. Its body looked like a giant yellow gumdrop, dotted with eight solid black gumballs at the front that slowly blinked. Its legs, all eight of them, along with a pair of pincers just a bit below the eyes, seemed to be made out of huge strands of black licorice. With all that candy, it should have seemed relatively harmless, but there was something vaguely threatening about it that Sierra attributed mostly to her dislike of spiders.

"Do you like it?" Sugarplum asked, seeing Sierra staring at it. "Its my newest creation. Come on, let's check it out."

Sierra bit her bottom lip for a second, not wanting to get any closer. But Sugarplum had created it, and presumably knew that it was safe. And if she could have looked at it and not thought about what it seemed to be, it probably would have been pretty non-threatening. Besides, she didn't have much of a choice, since Sugarplum hadn't let go of her hand.

Together, they walked in front of the candy spider, which immediately began to skitter towards them. Sierra pressed closer to Sugarplum as the creature's eyes turned towards her, seeming to examine her for an excruciatingly long time before Sugarplum ordered, "Down boy!" The spider lowered itself flat onto the ground and Sugarplum finally let go of Sierra to climb its side, getting to the top and stretching her arm down towards Sierra. "Come on, up you go!"

Deciding that she would be even safer from this thing if she was on its back, where it couldn't reach her, Sierra obliged. The creature's body was more solid than she had expected, though still noticeably softer under her feet than the floor, making her glad when she could reach Sugarplum's hand to steady herself. The top of the spider was more than big enough for both of them to stand, although as the spider began to stand, Sierra lost her balance and fell back onto her bottom.

"Careful!" Sugarplum chuckled. "We'd better hang on!" Sierra wasn't sure what there was to hang on to, but after a moment she noticed Sugarplum's feet seeming to sink down into the surface of the creature, the candy closing around her ankle to hold her in place. It took Sierra another moment or two to realize she was sinking as well, feeling the coarser sugar coating beneath her legs giving way to the smooth gummy texture of what was beneath it. It was a strange feeling, and one she didn't entirely appreciate, doubly so when she felt it begin to push back in on her to hold her in place. The idea of almost becoming a part of this spider made her a bit squeamish, especially as she felt it creeping its way under her dress, and, even worse, in through the legholes of her Pull-Ups. She tried to stand up in surprise, much preferring the thought of standing like Sugarplum, but her lower half was now stuck firmly in place.

"That should do it!" Sugarplum declared, and, with no further warning, the spider took off, crawling across the floor with surprising speed, then skittering up the wall and into a dark tunnel. Sierra whimpered as she was helplessly carried through the dark, sure she could feel the walls all around her, just barely missing her, and just as certain that she could feel her body sinking deeper into the candy creation. She couldn't deny that it was impressive that Sugarplum had made this thing, but just seeing it would have been enough of a demonstration for her.  

At last, just before Sierra was sure her nerves had taken all they could stand of this darkness, she saw a faint light at the end of the tunnel, and in a flash, the spider had crawled out and into what looked like an old, abandoned factory. Sierra could only assume it had been used to make food, since in addition to seemingly miles of conveyor belts, there were also huge old vats with gigantic blades like in a mixer, and giant funnels at the bottom.

She didn't have much time to get too good a look at any of it before the spider was climbing straight up one of the walls, leaping out a broken window and beginning to dash along the road outside, which led to a tall, locked fence that it easily scaled. Sierra's stomach churned as the spider leapt off the top, suddenly glad for the secure seat, because she was sure she would have fallen off by now without it.

"Isn't this great?" Sugarplum grinned, looking down at her, and Sierra forced herself to smile, doing her best not to look like she was about to throw up. Cars skidded to a stop as the roads led the spider closer to the main part of the city, narrowly missing its sugary legs, and each other. As the buildings started to get taller and closer together, the spider jumped up onto one of them, making Sierra shriek as it started to climb up, her hands reaching for something to grab ahold of, even though she knew she couldn't fall, and finding only Sugarplum's leg. The woman smiled down at her, looking quite confident as the spider continued to ascend before finally making it to the roof.

Sugarplum reached down, patting her on the head. "There, there. Isn't this view amazing?" Still not daring to let go of the older woman, Sierra glanced around, having to admit that this strange city, wherever it was, was pretty impressive from up here. "It could be better, though," Sugarplum mused, and before Sierra could react, the spider began to move again, taking a running jump at the nearest building. Sierra's heart dropped as they began to fall short of their target, only for the spider to grab the wall at the last moment and begin skittering upwards again, up to the top and then repeating the process. As the buildings got closer together, they fortunately didn't fall as far, but the climb afterwards kept getting longer as the buildings kept getting taller. Sierra was petrified, too scared to even notice Sugarplum watching her closely, seeming to be waiting for something that never happened, even when she pretended to slip sideways, yanking her leg away from Sierra's grasp.

Sierra was sure she was about to fall dozens of feet to her death, so she wasn't too embarrassed when she felt her bladder give way. She could even feel the gooey candy that had seeped inside her underwear mostly retreat as the padding grew warm and squishy, though she could still feel it just inside the legholes, almost tickling her. Her hands, now without anything to hang on to, flailed, reached up towards her neck, wondering if the transformation would happen fast enough to let her cast something to slow her fall.

Thankfully, before her grasping fingers could close around the jewel, they reached the roof, and the spider halted in its tracks. Sugarplum looked a bit annoyed, but as Sierra looked around she could see that they were on the tallest building in the area, perhaps the whole city.

Sugarplum easily stepped out of the spider's back, her feet easily coming out while the creature lowered itself, letting her hop down. Sierra shakily pulled herself free, having much more trouble as the candy didn't seem to want to let her go, making it quite the chore to extract herself from it, and even then her legs felt sticky and gross. After the wild ride, she'd had enough of heights, and even jumping down from on top of the spider felt like too far, so instead she pushed herself down the slope of its body, riding it like a slide until she bumped her soggy butt against the roof. She just sat there for a few minutes, trying to catch her breath, feeling quite silly with Sugarplum standing over her as if nothing unusual had happened, flipping through that book she always had with her and shaking her head. "Still nothing," she mumbled, seemingly to herself.

Finally, Sierra climbed to her feet, though her legs still felt wobbly beneath her. "I-Is this what you wanted to show me?" she asked, not daring to take more than a couple clumsy steps towards the edge just yet. "Maybe next time we can just take the elevator," she suggested with a forced chuckle. Sugarplum was still thinking out loud, it seemed, though she had lowered her voice enough that Sierra couldn't quite make it out, and sometimes it almost seemed to change to something a little stranger, almost creepy. "It is a very nice spider-thing, though," Sierra said awkwardly, reaching out to pat the beast. "You made it, huh? What other kinds of things can you do?"

Before she got an answer, or even an acknowledgement, Sierra was shocked yet again by the sight of a girl joining them on the roof. It would have been a little surprising even if she had come from the door leading down into the building, but this girl somehow just floated up from the side of the building, then landed across the roof from them. She looked young, probably around Sierra's age, and, like Sugarplum, her hair was in ponytails and a strange color, in this case purple. Sierra had to admit, she was a little jealous, making a note to try that shade out herself one day once she got home.

The girl was wearing a red and yellow suit with a very short skirt that did nothing to hide the thick diaper she had on underneath. Part of Sierra wondered if she had travelled to the diaper dimension after all, a strange corner of it she hadn't seen before, but she hadn't seen any of the Amazons around, and she'd never spotted anybody diapered at Sugarplum's shop. That only made this new girl seem even more non-threatening, at least until she reached into the holsters at the side of her suit and pulled out a pair of guns, pointing one at Sugarplum and one at Sierra.

"Not very sneaky, Sugarplum Witch!" the new girl declared. "I saw you half the city away!"

Sierra couldn't quite make out something that sounded a little like, "Right on time," from Sugarplum before the woman replied, much louder, "You're the one who should be hiding, Double Dueler!" Sierra almost thought she saw a glint of satisfaction beneath the woman's look of defiance. "You won't get away this time!"

Before Sierra or the Dueler could react, Sugarplum reached into the pocket of her apron, tossing a handful of something at the ground between her and the Dueler. Sierra heard a series of explosions, like the one from the night before that had broken her handcuff, and plumes of colored dust shot up, obscuring their view of the girl in red.

Sugarplum dashed over to Sierra, suddenly appearing very concerned. "I'm so sorry, I didn't think she'd find us here!" she said.

"Who is she? What's going on?" Sierra asked, confused.

"She's called Double Dueler," Sugarplum told her. "And she's the city's most dangerous villain! I didn't want to get you involved in this! I'll hold her off the best I can!"

"V-Villain?" Sierra gave a little gasp. Could she mean super-villain? Did this dimension have superheroes? That would explain how the girl had flown, and all the things that Sugarplum had made would make sense in that sort of world, too, not just one that had magic. It made sense, but that also meant that this was a much more dangerous place than she had anticipated.

A pair of energy bolts pierced the dissipating smoke, and Sugarplum told Sierra, "Hide!" as she leapt into battle, the candy spider following, and quickly moving in front. Not knowing this world, and being without any powers at the moment, Sierra wanted to follow Sugarplum's directions, but there wasn't really anywhere to hide up here. Even if there had been, she felt bad abandoning this woman who had taken her in and seemed nice enough, even if she had, probably inadvertently, scared the hell out of her on the way here.

Through the cloud of candy dust, Sierra could see the Dueler flying back away from the spider as it swung its pincers at her, while Sugarplum reached into her apron, pulling something out of the pocket. Sierra could barely even see it, but as Sugarplum swung her fist at Dueler, it grew, stretching out towards one of the Dueler's guns. Sierra held her breath for a moment, hoping it would hit, but the Dueler dodged at the last minute, shooting her other gun right at Sugarplum.

Sierra gasped, taking a step forward, but luckily the spider was faster, skittering in front of the blast. It was knocked back a little, but otherwise it seemed all right, spinning back around to attack again. Double Dueler fired a barrage of shots, but the spider either knocked them aside with its pincers or absorbed them into its body, looking none the worse for the wear. By then, the roof was clear, giving Sierra a better view, She could see that the thing in Sugarplum's hand, which she was throwing again, this time managing to hit the Dueler's arm while she was distracted by the spider, was bright pink. It look like taffy, she thought, stretched out into almost a whip.

It continued the grow where it had hit Dueler's wrist, circling up the girl's arm. It expanded downwards, engulfing the girl's hand and the gun with it, quickly growing further up, too. Sierra let out a little cheer, but she was too quick with her celebration. Dueler's eyes widened as she turned away from the spider, aiming her gun and firing, blasting through the rope of candy between her and Sugarplum.

Her opponent was knocked backwards, the energy bolt from her gun sending taffy splashing back and across Sugarplum's leg. The woman made a few obvious attempts to stand, but she seemed to be trapped. The Dueler gave a smile of triumph while Sierra watched the spider preparing to pounce from behind, hoping it would finish the job its master had started. Unfortunately, Double Dueler was too fast and had learned from her mistake last time. The energy from her gun this time looked different, and when it hit the end of the spider's foot, a patch of ice appeared, freezing it in place. The poor thing nearly fell over itself, suddenly rather clumsy with one leg stuck. Double Dueler smiled, aiming for another leg, while Sugarplum struggled valiantly beneath her own taffy.

Sierra stepped forward, hesitating only slightly as she raised her hand to the jewel on her choker. She'd already waited too long! Sure, it would be embarrassing to transform in front of Sugarplum, but even though she was a villain, knowing that Double Dueler was also in a diaper made it seem a little less weird. There was nowhere to hide on this roof anyway, even if the transformation wasn't meant to draw attention to her.

"Glitter, rainbows, kitties and flowers! Magical diaper, give me my powers!" Her face reddened as she said the ridiculous incantation, knowing it had to be said nice and loud so the jewel would hear her and acknowledge it. Most of those things had nothing to do with her transformation at all, and she definitely didn't get her powers from the diaper! But she was sure it had been designed to be as childish and embarrassing as possible. She had to end it with a final, especially loud, "Abracadabra!"

She felt the gem clutched in her hand getting warm, knowing that the star inside was beginning to spin faster and faster, until finally a bright light exploded from it as the star vanished. The light surrounded Sierra, freezing her feet in place and allowing a huge, pink butterfly to gently, and slowly, flutter downward out of the sky. Once it was right above her, it opened its legs, and Sierra's wand, complete with the star from within her necklace, fell. Sierra reached up to grab it, feeling suddenly much more powerful, despite knowing what else was about to happen.

With a few more flaps, the butterfly landed on her head, transforming into her bow, and with that she could feel the magic flowing through her, inescapable now. Her black Mary Janes turned pink, changing shape slightly, but, more worryingly, sprouted ribbons which began to crawl up her legs in a criss-cross pattern. As they moved upwards, she could feel herself changing, her body moving down as it began to shrink.

Rainbow light began to emanate from the neck of her borrowed dress, moving slowly down her body. As it went, the old dress vanished beneath it, replaced with the sparkly pink of her transformed dress. Beneath that, she could also feel the magic changing her, flattening her chest and giving the rest of her just the slightest bit of baby fat as it went, slowly continuing her regression.

Once the light hit her waist, it seemed to stop, spinning around for a few seconds before becoming the darker pink belt of her costume. Her skirt began to grow out of it, almost looking like flowers blooming as it expanded behind her. The much shorter front allowed her to see quite clearly that the old dress was still beneath, giving her a tiny ray of hope that maybe the next part wouldn't happen thing time.

But, of course, right after it had waited just long enough that she thought she really had lucked out this time, the old skirt vanished in a cloud of glitter, leaving her in just her Pull-Up beneath her new dress. It stayed like that long enough for her to see how faded the designs had gotten before it began to poof outward into a thick diaper, forcing her thighs apart. To her dismay, because it had grown out of her old underwear rather than replacing it, she wasn't even given any relief from the now cool, squishy feeling in her pants.

Finally, the light faded and she was freed from her temporarily immobility, allowing her to step forward as her younger, diapered, but somehow far less helpless, self. Immediately, the spider turned towards her, and she heard that strange voice she had thought was somehow coming from Sugarplum growl, much more loudly this time, "That's it!", while Sugarplum's lips were clearly not moving.

She was focused on Double Dueler, though, and with a quick, "Expelliarmus!", she had sent the girl's gun flying out of her hands. Before she could react, Sierra had aimed her wand further down, shouting, "Impedimenta!" Double Dueler's legs squeezed together, bound with an invisible rope, and she fell onto her thick diaper with a gasp.

Sierra's heart was still pounding when she turned to go help Sugarplum. If she could have been that quick during her duels, maybe she could have won a few more of them! Maybe the sense of real danger she'd gotten from facing a super-villain had helped, or perhaps it was just a benefit of her younger body. By the time she was facing Sugarplum, however, smiling proudly, the woman was already standing, the taffy that had pinned her down now gathered into her hand, forming a new, slightly shorter, whip.

Her expression looked different somehow, far less sweet than usual. Sierra felt the slightest unease, but before she could act on it, Sugarplum had lashed out with the taffy, hitting Sierra in the face and wrapping around her head. The candy quickly filled Sierra's mouth, pressing her tongue to the bottom of her mouth to silence her completely. Then it began to stretch downward, covering her choker as well, keeping her from being able to transform back.

"Did you really think I couldn't get away from one of my own traps?" Sugarplum asked, shaking her head. "I guess I shouldn't expect much from someone in a diaper. But don't worry! Apparently you're now the perfect ingredient to finish up my latest creation! And as for you!" Sierra's eyes widened as she mumbled behind the sweet gag, while Sugarplum reached into her apron and grabbed another handful of the stuff, spinning and throwing it at Double Dueler, who had been scooting across the roof, legs still stuck together, toward her gun. The taffy hit her feet, growing to cover both of them and stick her in place. "I'll get to you later, Dueler!"

Sugarplum turned back to Sierra, her smile now practically evil. "Thanks for your help with her. Once my spider drinks your blood to absorb your power, she would have been a cinch to defeat anyway, but that ought to keep her out of my hair until then."

Sierra felt something touching her waist, and before she could do anything, she had been turned around by the spider's pincers to face it head on. It stared at her with its candy eyes, then opened a mouth Sierra hadn't even known it had and let out a roar. Its mouth was lined in candy corn teeth, the edges serrated and the tips looking extra sharp. Sierra almost didn't feel embarrassed to give out a muffled scream as her bladder, weakened by her reduced age, gave way. If her diaper hadn't taken on the state of her quite wet trainers, she might have felt better, but the new deluge quickly soaked through the thick diaper and she felt herself start to leak, making it obvious what had happened.

"What a disgusting little girl you are!" Sugarplum turned up her nose at the sight. "I'm glad I'm not the one who has to eat you! Now, just stay still and this should be over nice and quick!" Sierra tried to yell past the taffy filling her mouth, but it did her no good. "Hush now! I'm sure your last words would be very enlightening, but I'm afraid I can't risk you using any more of your little spells."

With that, the spider's front two legs reached forward to grab Sierra as well. A pink tinted, thick, translucent liquid began to dribble out of them, falling onto Sierra's feet and instantly solidify. The pincers began to turn Sierra around as the gel continued to pour out, faster and faster, encasing Sierra in it like a spider wrapping a fly in its silk. Sierra could feel it sticking to her, trapping her legs together, much like she'd done to Double Dueler, but she could see what was holding her in place. As it slowly was built up, growing up her ankles and legs, she realized it was some kind of gelatin that was encasing her, turning her into, essentially, a giant gummy bear. Or a gummy witch, in her case.

Her only hope was the fact that the Sugarplum Witch hadn't taken away her wand. She seemed to be under the impression that she had to use an incantation to do magic, and Sierra was glad she had done so for those first two spells to make her think that. Of course, it was far more difficult to do a wordless spell even when she wasn't being spun around and around in circles, and worrying about how she was going to escape, but she at least had a shot.

"This is turning out quite nicely!" Sugarplum declared as the sugary junk worked its way up Sierra's thighs. "Maybe I'll put you on display at my shop once we're done here! Don't worry, my little pet won't take all your blood, and I'll make sure she leaves you a couple little air holes! I'm sure all my customers will love to come look at my life-size candy sculpture! I'm sure I can figure out some way to keep you fed in there."

Sierra paled at the thought, making Sugarplum chuckle menacingly. It would be bad enough to be set up to be stared at, dressed like she was, but if she was completely encased in this stuff, she wouldn't be able to transform back! She'd be stuck there, motionless and slowly forgetting everything she'd learned at school, making it less and less likely she'd ever think of a way to escape, or, if she did manage it, that she would know how to turn back into a physical adult once she had!

Her eyes, for at least as long as she was turned towards Sugarplum, fell to that book the witch always had with her. She could have almost sworn that it was laughing as well, and the writing on its open pages had somehow started to glow. Could that be the source of Sugarplum's powers? To what extent did Sugarplum need it? Would losing it mean her monster would stop? She didn't know, but it felt like her best bet.

She felt the thick, viscous gel moving up towards her waist, and like when she'd been riding the spider earlier, starting to pour into her pants. Because it started out less solid, however, it didn't slow, completely filling her diaper before hardening, feeling extremely strange against her skin. The pincers began to move upwards now that the gummy casing was almost catching up to them, one of them reaching up to grab Sierra's free hand and pin it against her side.

The other pincer tried to do the same with her wand hand, but she managed to keep it away, at least for the moment. She was feeling very dizzy now, which made things all the harder, but she did her best to concentrate enough to prepare a Blasting Curse, aiming, as well as she could, at the book in Sugarplum's hand, ready to set it on fire, and hopefully also knock it out of the other witch's hand at the same time.

It was difficult to concentrate, as she felt her other hand being covered in the same stuff trapping her legs, and to do the correct wand movements at the same time as avoiding the monster's pincer, so it was a miracle that, as she thought, 'Confringo!' with all her mental energies, that anything happened at all. Unfortunately, she was so off balance from all the spinning, she wasn't even facing the right way when the spell went off, missing Sugarplum and her magic book altogether.

Instead, it hit the spider right in the face. Fire rippled across the gumdrop's surface, melting part of it and knocking a few candy corn teeth across the roof. The spider hissed, but not only did it not stop, it seemed to move more quickly. As Sierra cursed under her breath and tried to aim again the pincer finally succeeded in snagging her wand hand, yanking it against her side and immediately covering it in gelatin, sticking it firmly in place.

"Very clever," Sugarplum growled at her, stepping forward towards the spider, patting it on the side. "I guess I should have known better than to let you keep that little toy." As she was talking, the spider continued its work, the gummy coating covering Sierra's hand and sealing it closed around the now immobile wand. "But I'll be nice and let you keep ahold of it forever now!"

Sierra groaned behind her gag, her hopes of getting away now completely dashed, at least for a moment. As she continued to be turned around and around, though, she began to notice something about the prone Double Dueler lying halfway across the roof. Sometimes, she could see the taffy around the girl's hand seem to glow almost for just a moment at a time every now and then, and, a few spins later, it looked like it might be melting.

Maybe because her head was spinning so much, but it wasn't until a hole began to open in the candy and she saw a bolt of energy blast out of it that she realized Dueler was repeatedly blasting at her restraints with her gun. It must have have been tough, getting the strength to move her finger to the trigger the first couple times, and slow going melting through all the candy to get to that point, but she had done it! Now she had an opening, and her aim changed, zapping the taffy around her feet.

Sierra wished she could undo her Impediment Jinx to help the girl out, but she couldn't do anything other than mumble helplessly as she was cocooned more and more. As the stuff crept further up her body, she had a harder and harder time seeing anything, her vision blurring with her ever-increasing dizziness. She could barely make it out as Dueler's feet broke free and she began to push herself along the roof, reaching up for her other gun. Everything was a blur as the gummy prison crawling up to her neck, only for the spinning to finally stop.

Sierra still couldn't see straight, but she could make out the Sugarplum Witch stepping up to her, reaching forward to pat her on the head. "Don't worry, we'll get you covered up the rest of the way before I set you up in the store, but for now, I think it's feeding time. I'm sure it won't hurt too much." Sierra whimpered softly as the pincers began to pull her closer to the spider's mouth, which looked no less threatening now that it was slightly deformed on one side and missing a couple teeth. She winced, struggling helplessly.

Suddenly, something whooshed past her, making the spider roar in pain. Sierra gave a yelp of her own as she fell, though the gummy substance around her cushioned her fall quite well. As she hit the ground, she saw part of one of the spider's legs and pincer fall beside her. She craned her neck to see behind herself just in time to see Double Dueler, now standing, though with some taffy still clinging to the glove of her suit, fire both of her blasters, one right after the other. The first energy bolt hit one of the teeth lying on the roof, sending it flying into the air, while the second caught in mid-air, sending it flying, just like the one before it, towards the spider, this one severing its other pincer.

Sugarplum turned to the spider in a panic, ordering it, "Take care of her first!" as she pointed towards the Dueler. It started to gallop awkwardly forward, over the still prone Sierra, but Double Dueler wasn't distracted. She fired another pair of energy blasts past it and towards its master. One hit Sugarplum in the hand, the other the book. The one that hit the book, ripping through the page it was currently open to, sending it floating away, the writing's glow fading as the spider stopped moving, collapsing into a pile of oversized, but harmless, candy. Sugarplum dropped the rest of the book immediately, her whole arm flopping to her side uselessly, temporarily paralyzed. Sugarplum growled, her other hand throwing out more of her homemade pop rocks to make a new dust cloud. By the time it dissipated, she was gone.

Double Dueler rushed over to her, carefully cutting through the taffy gag with her guns and pulling it free before turning and starting to fly, floating off towards the side of the building Sugarplum had last been on. "Wait!" Sierra yelled, panicked at the idea of being stuck up here, free to talk but still unable to transform back. Who knew when, or if, Double Dueler would return, or how much of her adult knowledge she'd have left by then! "Please, get me out of this!"

Double Dueler hesitated. "Look, I don't know you, or why you were working with the Sugarplum Witch, but I don't trust that wand of yours. And I don't know if that betrayal was real, or some elaborate trick, so you're going to stay right there until I catch her."

"No, please!" Sierra wailed, tears filling her eyes. "I'm not bad, I swear! I'll transform back to the way I was when you first got here as soon as you let me go, and then I won't be able to do any magic!"

Dueler frowned, looking into her eyes. "I don't have any way of knowing that," she said, but she at least seemed to be considering it. "It is probably better to keep an eye on you, though." She looked over the side of the building again, shaking her head. "I don't see your partner anywhere anyway, so I guess I few more minutes won't hurt the search too much."

"Oh, thank you so much!" Sierra breathed a sigh of relief.

Double Dueler didn't start on it right away, though. Instead, she reached into one of the pouches on her belt and took out a cell phone. She dialed a number, then began to speak. "Hey, Abby? I have a favor to ask. I have someone suspicious here I need you to keep tabs on for a little while. Yeah, the usual stuff ought to be fine. Well, she already has one, but its pretty wet, so its up to you if she gets a fresh one. We're on top of the Elswood Building. Thanks!"

Once she had hung up, she went to work, slowly carving away the candy around Sierra, but only around her neck and the hand without her wand, which gave Sierra a chance to do as she'd said and transform back. Unfortunately, the stuff around her was stretchy enough that she didn't break free. Instead, it just pressed tighter against her, making her feel even more uncomfortable.

Luckily, they didn't have to wait long for the person Dueler had called to show up. She didn't even seem to be a superhero, though Sierra supposed the box she was carrying could have been full of gadgets that would help offset any lack of powers. With her short black hair, blue shirt and cuffed jean shorts, she certainly didn't look like much of a threat, even if she was taller than Sierra.

"Hey, Daisy!" Abby waved, making Double Dueler roll her eyes and the new girl giggle. "Oh, sorry, Double Dueler!"

"Whatever," Dueler shook her head. "Come on, I don't have much time before I run out of power, and I want to at least try to find her partner."

"She isn't my partner!" Sierra insisted, but the Double Dueler seemed to be used to that kind of trick.

"She's a magic user. Her wand vanished, but to be safe I think the gag would be a good idea," Daisy suggested, and sure enough, before Sierra could make another protest, Abby had reached into her box, pulling out not some crime-fighting gizmo, but a pacifier gag, which she expertly pushed into Sierra's mouth, locking it securely behind her head. "She seems to get her power from that choker," Dueler mentioned, as she worked on melting more of the candy.

Abby did her best to undo the choker, while Sierra tried to tell her it wouldn't do any good. She figured it out on her own after a few minutes, and instead just grabbed a purple collar out of her box and fastened it over top of the necklace instead.

The girls worked together quite well, Daisy getting rid of just enough of the gel to allow Abby to do her work, but still keep Sierra trapped, just in case she really was still dangerous. "This dress is nowhere near cute enough!" Daisy declared. "And way too long!" Deviously, she took out a pair of scissors to cut off the skirt where it was still trapped, then, as Daisy freed Sierra's hands, she grabbed them, forcing them up and into the sleeves of a new dress she had brought with her. This one was, indeed, shorter, and its skirt poofed out to make it seem even more so. It wouldn't come anywhere close to covering her Pull-Ups!

Abby wasn't done, though, taking something else out of her box. Sierra didn't recognize it at first, since she hadn't seen one this big before, but as it was placed around her chest she quickly realized it was an oversized baby harness. As if that wasn't bad enough, once it was in place Abby added something else on the backside, then forced Sierra's hands behind her back. Leather straps were wrapped around her arms and locked to keep them there.

"That ought to do it!" Abby declared. Daisy sped up her own task and Abby sat back, watching. She seemed a little disappointed when Sierra's waist was freed and she pushed away the tattered skirt from Sierra's old outfit. "I thought you said she was diapered!"

"She was," Double Dueler shrugged. "She changes."

"Not often enough," Abby teased, poking at the leaking, gel-filled Pull-Up. "Obviously you aren't really for training pants, silly! But don't worry, I'll get that all straightened out once we get home."

Finally, the last of the gummy prison was dealt with, and Abby was able to help Sierra to her feet. Sierra still felt incredibly sticky, especially inside her Pull-Up, which the dress left in full view, in all of its drooping, leaky glory. "Don't let her go until I get back," Dueler warned Abby. "We still don't know if we can trust her." She glanced over at the pouting, blushing Sierra, and added, "But don't be too mean to her, either."

"Aww," Abby gave a little pout of her own.

"She really might be a good guy, I just don't know how she could have fallen in with the Sugarplum Witch without realizing who she was. But we'll get all that straightened out later. I'll meet you back at your place in a bit." With that, the Double Dueler took off into the skies, flying away and leaving Sierra alone with Abby.

Abby smiled at her, grabbing one more thing out of the box and attaching it to the front of the collar. Sierra glanced down, cheeks turning brighter red as she realized it was a leash. "Come on, then, let's get going," Abby said, giving the leash a tug. Sierra had little choice but to follow, with no way to hide what she was wearing.

"Don't worry, I'll do what Daisy said," Abby reassured her. "Nothing too mean! I'll just make sure you're nice and clean. Of course, I probably shouldn't let you out of your harness, so it would be pretty hard to give you a bath, so I guess I'd better start by cleaning you out inside first. I wonder if one nice, big, soapy enema will be enough, or if you'll need two? And a spanking isn't too mean, either. Its just to teach you not to work with meanies like that Sugarplum Witch! Its for your own good! Oh, and..."

As Sierra was dragged down flight after flight of steps, listening to Abby babble on and passing by more and more gawking, giggling people as they got lower, she almost began to wish she had wound up in the diaper dimension after all. At least there, she would have known what to expect. Part of her wanted to help track down the Sugarplum Witch to get some revenge, but mostly she just wanted to get out of this world.

While there were probably magic users here other than Sugarplum, she had no idea who to trust here, and it was much more dangerous than she would ever have expected. Surely there were other worlds she could visit to try to find new forms of magic she could learn, so she could get rid of this curse or at least defend herself without having to rely on her transformation.

She just had to hope she'd be able to get free from Abby's bondage long enough to get to one of those other dimensions and continue her adventure. Who knew where she would wind up next? She just knew it was going to be somewhere better, or at least safer than here! It had to be! ...Didn't it?
