Matti knew right away that she'd made a mistake, but by then it was too late. She couldn't help it, though! It had just slipped out.

"Excuse me?" Kiara raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. "What was that, young lady?"

Was it better, she wondered, to lie and pretend she'd said something else, or to tell the truth and accept the consequences? She squirmed in place in her seat on the floor, her soggy diaper crinkling softly as she looked up at the girl she was supposed to be tutoring, sitting on the sofa above her, pondering her options.

"I said they were all right," Matti admitted after a moment, eyes turning back towards the TV, where Kiara had paused the Youtube video about bunnies. "They're fine!"

"Fine?" Kiara scoffed. "How can you not think they're adorable? Look at them!"

"I see them," Matti rolled her eyes. "But those big teeth, and those beady eyes... They're not my favorite."

"You're just being difficult," Kiara sniffed. "You know they're popular this time of year, so you're being a brat about it. I don't know what I expected."

There were plenty of things Matti could have pointed out, things Kiara had made her do that were far more humiliating than saying she liked bunny rabbits, but she knew she ought to bite her tongue and leave well enough alone. Unfortunately, just because Matti knew she should do something didn't mean that she actually would.

"If it weren't for those big ears and fluffy tails, everyone would agree with me," Matti shrugged. "Those are the only things that are actually cute about them."

That was, of course, when Kiara pushed the pacifier into her mouth, Matti's cheeks warming as she felt herself start to suck on it automatically, falling silent like an obedient little toddler. She assumed that was the end of it, Kiara making her shut up and stop arguing.

As soon as she got to the girl's house for their next session, she knew she was wrong. As usual, there was a diaper waiting for her, but this one was extra thick, and pink, and was printed with cartoon bunnies cavorting around the padding happily.

"Okay, okay, I get it," Matti sighed. "They're cute, okay?"

"What do you mean?" Kiara asked innocently. "All your diapers are cute!"

"The bunnies," Matti glowered. "They're cute. Do I still have to wear them?"

"Of course you do," Kiara told her, opening one up and laying it out on the changing pad. "I can't trust you to keep your pants dry without them, now can I?"

Matti wanted to protest that she was an adult, and older than Kiara, and more than capable of controlling her bladder, but those were all things that, if said out loud, would get her in more trouble here. And, honestly, at this point, she wasn't sure how true any of them really were anymore. "Do they have to be pink?" she grumbled.

"Obviously," Kiara smirked. "What's your favorite color, Mathilda?"

Matti rolled her eyes. "Pink," she mumbled. They both knew it was a lie, but also that it was what Kiara wanted to hear. It wasn't the only color Kiara dressed her in, but there were definitely times when it felt that way.

"Oh, good!" Kiara replied. "Because if not, you're really going to hate the outfit I picked out for you today!" She giggled, barely even pretending that wasn't the entire point.

After a healthy dose of baby powder, Kiara taped the diaper snugly around her tutor's waist, giving it a playful pat when she was finished, as Matti sat up, feeling the garment rustle beneath her. "So adorable!" Kiara exclaimed. "It's almost a shame to cover it up!"

Did that mean she wasn't going to? It wouldn't be the first time she'd made Matti spend her afternoon in just a diaper. But she'd mentioned picking out an outfit, so that seemed unlikely, and Matti had a feeling that would be, somehow, even worse.

The thigh-high stockings came first, Kiara pulling them out of a bag and sliding them up Matti's legs. Most of them were white, at least, though there was still more than enough pink, as most of their length was striped with the two colors, until the tops, which were shaped like the smiling faces of happy, white bunnies against a pink background.

"Sit down," Kiara ordered, giving the edge of sofa cushion a pat. It was a rare invitation, and one Matti was happy to take advantage of while she could. Most of the time, she wasn't allowed on the furniture here at all, banished to the floor, as if her potty training was so far gone she could leak through her bulky diapers at any moment.

This time, however, it was only to make it easier for Kiara to slide the shoes she took out of the bag onto her feet. They were pink, too, unsurprisingly, shiny little Mary Janes with bunny faces etched into the leather on top of the toes, and ears sticking out from above them, brushing against her ankles.

"I get the point," Matti sighed. "I already admitted bunnies were cute. What more do you want?"

"I want to finish getting you dressed," Kiara said matter-of-factly. "Unless you want to run around like this?"

"N-No, ma'am," Matti shook her head, knowing that she should be grateful the girl wasn't considering this a full outfit, even if she did feel some dread, wondering what else could be waiting in that bag.

She was almost lured into a false sense of security by the next item, a simple white top with ruffled sleeves and a Peter Pan collar. It did nothing to hide her diaper, but it did cover her chest, and she couldn't find a single bunny on it anywhere, so, for a moment, she thought that perhaps Kiara had run out of steam.

But that was silly. Matti had long enough to look down at her outfit and resign herself to running around like that for the afternoon before Kiara produced the jumper to finish it off. It was bright pink, the skirt just short enough to leave a hint of Matti's diaper visible at all times even if she was immobile, the entire chest of it decorated like the face of yet another bunny, a long ear dangling down either side in a colorful floral print.

"Well, well, well," Kiara admired her handiwork. "It looks like somebody is excited for Easter! And who do you think that is, Mathilda?"

Matti pouted, which, from the giggling she heard from the younger girl, she assumed only made her look cuter. "Me," she fibbed.

"Oh, good!" Kiara smiled. "Because the Easter Bunny stopped by here early this year, so I need your help to find all the eggs he left! I had a feeling you'd be the perfect girl for the job! Just look at you! You're like a little bunny yourself!"

An egg hunt? Really? Matti stifled a groan. How long had it been since she'd been subjected to one of those?! She'd never been a huge fan of Easter in general, especially when she'd been young enough that her parents had still put her in dresses and made her run around, searching for plastic eggs. She'd opted out as soon as she'd been given the choice, even before her older sister, Kelsey. She wondered if Kelsey was still mad at her for that, for forcing her hand. Of course, after Matti had said she didn't want to do it, she couldn't, either. If her little sister was too mature, how could she be seen doing it?!

"It's funny, though," Kiara rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "Somebody told me bunnies are only cute because of their ears and their tails, but you don't have either, and you're still a cutie patootie! Don't you think so?"

Kiara snapped a picture, showing it to Matti, who self-consciously tugged at the hem of her dress, realizing how much of her diaper was actually peeking out, and how utterly infantile the whole ensemble made her look.

"Lucky for you, I happen to have some ears for you," Kiara said, going back to the bag to take out a headband with a pair of bunny ears attached to it, a row of flowers in between the two ears. "You know what?" Kiara set them on top of Matti's head and stepping back. "I think they might have been right. That is even cuter! Now, all you need is a tail, and you'll be irresistible! And ready to go looking for eggs!"

"Kiara," Matti whined. "I don't wanna go on an egg hunt! Isn't this enough for you?"

"Aww, you don't?" Kiara gave her an exaggerated pout, mirroring Matti's expression back at her. "Well, then you can stay here like this if you want, until my mom gets home, so she can appreciate..."

"No!" Matti shook her head, face turning as pink as her outfit at the thought of the girl's mother seeing her, the person she'd hired as a tutor for her daughter, this way, at discovering how they'd really been spending their lesson time.

"I didn't think so," Kiara smirked. "Turn around and bend over the couch so I can give you your tail."

Matti blushed as she spun around, feeling the skirt swirl around her, flashing her diaper even more. She bent over, sticking her padded bottom straight out, hearing Kiara rooting around in the bag. For a moment, she worried the girl was going to take out a hairbrush and spank her, because she'd got her in the perfect position for that, but then she could feel the girl pushing something against the seat of her diaper.

"Hmm," the girl said. "It doesn't want to stick."

"Oh, that's too bad," Matti started to stand up. "Well, I guess..."

"Get back down there!" Kiara ordered, Matti bending back over. "Just give me a minute." There was some more fumbling. "Hold on," Kiara told her, her fingers slipping past the legholes of the diaper, reaching inside, Matti assuming that she was just fastening the tail there, somehow.

And then something slid into her bottom, pushing inside of her. "Kiara!" Matti squealed at the invasion. "What the he... heck?!" She censored herself last minute, knowing that even a minor swear like 'hell' would land her in the corner with a bar of soap in her mouth. Her eyes widened as she felt a pressure, and a squirt of liquid shooting inside of her. "Kiara!" she stomped her foot.

"All done!" Kiara helped her straighten up, adjusting the girl's skirt as she stood there, nose wrinkled, certain she could feel the mini-enema she knew had just been used on her sloshing around. Matti twisted, looking behind herself, seeing a fluffy bunny tail attached to her diaper, where it had probably been since Kiara's 'first' attempt.

"Why did you do that?!" Matti pouted.

"You're such a big girl," Kiara teased, stroking Matti's hair. "I could tell you weren't excited about your egg hunt, so I thought you might like a little extra incentive to make it more exciting." As if she hadn't planned to do this all along! She'd had the enema waiting! "Now, I need you to find all the eggs for me before you mess your sweet little bunny diapers, or else I'm going to have to send you back to school just like this." She swatted the seat of Matti's diaper, right below her fluffy tail, a bit harder than the more playful one earlier.

"Kiara!" Matti gasped. It wasn't a super long walk back from the campus here, but it would be in this outfit!

"Oh, excuse me," Kiara said. "I guess not just like this. Your diaper's going to be much fuller by then."

"Kiara!" Matti's voice was so high from shock and humiliation that it was almost inaudible as she gawked at the girl, her head swimming as the warmth began to build between her legs, realizing how thoroughly the younger girl had trapped her.

"It's up to you," Kiara shrugged, "but if I were you, I'd get moving. I saw that Easter Bunny running all over the house, and I have a feeling you don't have that much time."

It was true. Already, she could feel her tummy rumbling, though that may have been mostly in her mind at this point. She gave Kiara one last pitiful look, hoping for mercy, then began to scramble, toddling across the living room, eyes darting around, searching for any hint of out of place color.

By the time she spotted any, there was no doubt that the cramps were getting real, each one making her pause for a moment, holding her breath as her stomach quivered ominously. "Are there even any in here?" she whined, throwing her head back in frustration and, finally, saw something peeking out ever so slightly from on top of one of the blades of the still ceiling fan.

"How am I supposed to get that down?!" she demanded, though she was almost as curious how Kiara had gotten it up there in the first place. "Is there a ladder, or...?"

"Oh, I don't think you're ready for ladders," Kiara cooed. "Those are far too dangerous for baby bunnies like you."

"Then how do I reach it?!" Matti asked, stomping her foot, spotting, now that she was looking up, another egg at the top of a tall bookcase, also well out of arm's length. "Kiara! This is cheating!"

"You're a bunny," Kiara said. "I'm sure you can hop high enough to get them."

Matti gave her a dirty look. She definitely couldn't, and even if that was possible, she didn't particularly want to do a lot of jumping up and down when her tummy was in its current state. "I found them!" she jabbed her finger at the eggs. "They still count, if I can get the rest!"

Without waiting for an answer, she waddled out of the living room, heading to the hall, freezing in the doorway as another cramp hit, and, before she could stop it, she heard a rude noise erupt from the back of her diaper. "Uh-oh!" Kiara called, stepping up behind her. "Did something happen, Mathilda?"

"N-No," Matti shook her head, wiggling her bottom nervously, not even positive herself. She started to move again, but Kiara stopped her by grabbing the waistband of her diaper, tugging it out to take a peek.

"Not yet," Kiara admitted. "I think you'd better get moving, though, sweetie."

Like Matti needed her to tell her that! She stumbled forward, starting to sweat, scowling when she saw another egg on top of a tall wall sconce. She made her way into the kitchen, where there were several eggs on top of the cupboards, mocking her as she stood on the floor, having to stop and hug her tummy as it grumbled at her again, pressure building rapidly.

"What's wrong, Mathilda?" Kiara asked innocently. "You're not doing very well."

"I can't!" Matti stomped her foot. "They're all the way up there!"

"Oh, my," Kiara tilted her head upwards. "Maybe you aren't big enough to play this game after all. Is that it? Are you so much of a baby that you can't even go on an Easter egg hunt?"

"N-No," Matti shook her head, blushing. "B-But..."

"Then why don't you have any eggs?" Kiara asked. "Come on, Matti. I need you to find me at least one."

"I've found plenty!" Matti insisted. "But you put them where I can't reach them!"

"Not me," Kiara said. "The Easter Bunny."

"Whatever," Matti rolled her eyes. "What am I supposed to do?!"

"I'm sure there's at least one where even you can reach it," Kiara shrugged. "You'd have plenty of time to find it, if you didn't feel the need to argue about everything."

Matti glared at her, indeed ready to protest that as well, until her belly spasmed again, reminding her how little time she had left. She darted around the house, growing more and more frantic as she saw only eggs far out of her reach, each one driving home more and more how doomed she was, and sending a small shiver of humiliation, and secret delight, down her spine, every one a fresh reminder of how small and helpless she was, and how close she was to pooping her pants and proving exactly that.

"There aren't any down low!" she told Kiara after she'd swept the whole first floor, hoping for a hint, since she had to admit her searching had been getting more sloppy the more desperate she was.

"Maybe not down here," Kiara told her. "But there's a whole second floor."

Matti groaned, staring at the steps. Of course Kiara would put them up there! She lifted one bunny-shoed foot, inching it towards the step, then quickly lowered it, clenching all her muscles with all her might. "I-I can't," she shook her head. That was so many steps to get up, when she was moments away from filling her diaper!

"Well, where else are you going to get an egg?" Kiara asked. "Or do you just want to give up and squat down like a good girl and let go?" Matti sniffed, looking into Kiara's eyes. "It's okay," she promised. "Go on, let your little knees bend."

Matti felt her body obeying, starting to accept the inevitable, tired of this fruitless search, ready to accept the consequences if it meant relief from the constant pain in her tummy. She'd almost given in and started to push, knowing it would only take the slightest one to put things into motion, when it hit her.

"I'm so dumb!" she squealed out loud, standing up and waddling for the living room. How hadn't she thought of this before?! They were plastic eggs, so they were pretty light, and they both wouldn't be likely to hurt anything, and wouldn't be too hurt, if they were to fall. She reached up as she stepped into the room, turning the dial that made the fan start to spin.

The blades started to turn, and, to her surprise, for a moment, it seemed as if the egg was going to stay there, balance perfectly. Then, as they started to pick up speed, the egg shot off, bouncing off the wall. She tried to follow it with her eyes, only to be distracted at the last minute as another cramp hit, her head hanging as all her focus automatically shifted to holding it in. She winced, feeling, despite all her effort, a lump starting to form in the seat of her diaper, feeling a sticky spot there as she squirmed, knowing that she was truly seconds away from disaster.

She looked back up, heart pounding at the realization that she'd lost track of the egg. She didn't see it anywhere anymore! She'd been so close! A part of her wanted to give up, but she forced herself to step forward, in the direction it had been headed, not knowing if she'd even have time now to get all the way across the room, if that was where it was.

It wasn't. In a stroke of luck, she saw it, just under the end table, not far off at all. She stumbled over, face red, bending down to reach for it...

She was going to do it after all! She was going to succeed! Kiara had given her a task that she'd probably meant to be impossible, and Matti had beaten her! She ought to feel proud of herself! This never happened in the stories! This just proved she was a real grown-up, not some baby deep down!

But was that really what she wanted? If she wasn't a baby, then how did she explain all the things she'd let Kiara, and Valerie, do to her? If she wasn't a baby, surely she should have put a stop to all that, or at least not been so turned on by it all.

That pause, that moment of doubt, was all it took. Or had she given a tiny push, too? It was hard to tell, it all happened so fast. All she knew for sure was that, a second later, she could feel her knees bending, could hear herself grunting as the seat of her diaper began to swell in earnest, a load of hot, sticky mush pouring into it, making it droop beneath her skirt, no doubt causing it to fall even further below the dress's hem.

"Oh, Mathilda," Kiara shook her head, watching it all with a bemused smile. "So close, and yet so far."

"L-Look!" Matti snatched at the egg, but even then, she missed it, her body still too occupied with filling her pants. On a second attempt, she grabbed it, holding it up to the girl. "S-See? I got it."

"You did," Kiara patted her on the head. "But not in time, little bunny."

It was a long, long trek back to campus, her hands firmly wrapped around the hem of her dress, trying in vain to make it long enough to hide her padding, and what she'd done in it. Thankfully, due to the holiday weekend, the campus wasn't as busy as usual, but it was also far brighter now than it had been when she'd snuck back to her dorm after escaping Ms. Emily's Daycare, so all anybody had to do was peer over and see her running around, looking like a bunny-obsessed toddler in a stinky diaper.

She'd almost made it to the dorm when she heard her name. She froze, turning her head, her cheeks burning when she saw Perry, one of her guy friends, waving and walking down the sidewalk towards her. Quickly, she spun, yanking her skirt down as far as it would go, despite knowing that, in return, the back of it was no doubt hitching up, displaying more of her diaper to anyone who happened to pass by behind her.

"H-Hey," she squeaked.

"Matti?" Perry frowned, looking at her, making her squirm, backing away a step, as if that would be enough to keep him from smelling her. "What are you wearing?"

"O-Oh, this?" she chuckled awkwardly, as if she'd forgotten all about it until he said something. "I-It's initiation, for the girls who are trying out for the cheerleading squad."

"Really?" he raised an eyebrow. "You really want to do that badly enough to put up with... this?" he waved his hand at the humiliating outfit. "It just seems so unlike you to put up with everything they make you do."

"W-Well, my sister wants me to," she shrugged. "A-And she can't be seen showing me special treatment, so what can you do?"

Perry opened his mouth for a moment, then thought better of it and closed it again. "If it really means that much to you," he said. "Or her. Anyway, I hadn't seen you for a bit, so I wanted to let you know D&D is on for tomorrow after all. Wallace isn't going back home for Easter, so we're going to play. Can you be there?"

"I wish I could," Matti told him, truthfully. "B-But I can't." She had a session in Dr. Osswald's classroom, and Valerie was also not going home for the holiday, so she wasn't going to let her miss it. "Sorry."

"It's all good," Perry shrugged. "We're all kind of used to it by now."

"Sorry," she repeated, his tone making it clear how untrue the first half of what he'd said was, as well as how true the second half was. "Things have been... crazy lately."

That was putting it mildly. As much as she wanted to explain things to her friend, she didn't even know where to start at this point.

"I guess I'll see you around," Perry said, waving and heading off. Matti watched him go, then scrambled into the dorm and up to Valerie's room.

"Oh, my God," Valerie giggled when she saw Matti stumble in. "You're going to give me a cavity, running around in that outfit! Let me see!" She grabbed Matti by the hands, spinning her around, planting a smack on the seat of her diaper when it passed by her. "I guess somebody's a big bunny fan, isn't she?"

Matti blushed, thinking about the argument that had started all this, and everything she'd been through because of it. "Y-Yeah," she mumbled, fidgeting in place, shivering as she re-lived all that delicious humiliation all over again. "I-I guess I am now."
