Laura sits in the play area for a while, before she realizes that she desperately needs to pee. She squirms uncomfortably, but knows that if she goes to the bathroom herself, it’ll be difficult to use it properly. So she decides to hold it until mommy gets back. She’s fit to bursting by the time mommy returns. Laura jumps to her feet eagerly.
“Mommy, I gotta pee!” Laura whines, dancing anxiously. Mommy looks down at her.
“You’re wearing training pants. Just use them.”
“But-”
“You want to get to the magic shop fast, right?” mommy says. Despite this, Laura still holds on, desperate to avoid peeing herself. After a moment, mommy looks at her watch. “You know, the magic shop will probably close soon,” she says idly. This jolts Laura into action. Reluctantly, she squats. With Timmy and mommy watching her, it’s difficult, but she eventually pees. The training pants fill with pee, but luckily none gets onto her clothes.
“There. That wasn’t so hard now, was it?” mommy asks. She picks Laura up, takes Timmy’s hand, and then walks outside, where they are both put into the car. They drive for a while. Laura feels like they might be heading in the wrong direction, but she doesn’t know for sure until they pull up to a modest suburban house.
“Uh, this isn’t the magic shop,” Laura says. “What’s going on?”
“Well, I looked online, and the magic shop is closed, so you’ll be staying the night.”
“But you said if I peed myself, we’d get there in time!”
“Hmm, did I?” mommy asks slyly. Laura’s mouth drops open. It’s all becoming clear now. She’s been tricked! Mommy doesn’t intend on taking her to the magic shop. Laura isn’t sure what mommy plans with her, but it can’t be anything good.
Laura feels a rumbling in her stomach. The shock has loosened her hold on her bowels, and before she can stop it, she messes her training pants. Mommy looks into the back seat with a snide smile.
“Smells like someone made a poopy,” she says in a singsong voice. She sounds smug and proud to have reduced Laura to having messy, wet training pants. Laura can’t stay here any longer. She has to get away!
