"Fine, I'll tell you," Tina sighs. She picks Leah up and carries her to the car, where she buckles her into a car seat. She then gets in the driver's seat and starts the car. "Rita is an actress."
(Oh, no!) Leah thinks. The car backs out of the driveway and they head down the road.
"She loves method acting, and when I told her about what you did recently, she thought it was the greatest thing ever. She wants to see it in person so she can help you improve your acting."
"But I don't want to method act this role for a whole week!" Leah protests.
"I told her that you would be against it. But she insisted. Most people once they get potty trained are too big to do baby or toddler method acting. She says this is a rare opportunity, and if you want to be serious about acting, it could open some doors for unique roles for you."
"Baby roles, you mean."
"Look, I tried. But my sister, well, when she sets her mind to something, she can't be stopped." They pull into the driveway of a modest, but nice single level home. A woman slightly younger than Tina, but visually very similar to her runs out of the house.
"Tina!"
"Rita!" The sisters hug. "Leah is in the car if you want to carry her in. I'll bring in her stuff."
"Ooh, yes!" Rita says. She actually claps her hands in excitement. Tina wasn't exaggerating about how invested Rita gets in method acting. Rita opens the car door, squeals happily when she sees Leah, and unbuckles her. As she picks Leah up, she squeezes her diaper. "Wow, you're already in costume!"
"Yeah," Leah mumbles. The three go into Rita's house. The front door opens into a living room.
"Show me where Leah's room is, and I can drop off her things there," Tina says. Rita sets Leah down and takes Tina deeper into the house. Leah's bladder is screaming for release. She didn't just pee because she was startled back home, she really did need to go. Now that she's alone, it's the perfect opportunity.
Leah sneaks to a corner of the room, where she will be hidden by the couch. Her gait is affected by her diaper, which feels thicker than the previous ones she wore, forcing her to waddle. Once in position, she takes a deep breath and bends her knees into a squat. It takes surprisingly little effort to override her potty training. Warmth spreads through her diaper.
"Oh, you're already getting into character!" Rita says. She and Tina had returned without Leah noticing. Leah yelps in shock and topples back. Her hold on her bowels is briefly broken. A small log sneaks into her diaper before she clenches again preventing anything else from getting out.
"By the smell of it, she needs a change," Tina says. "Grab the diaper bag. I'll show you." Rita quickly gets the diaper bag, and before she can blink, Leah is laying on her back on a changing pad, her soiled diaper open under her. Tina takes her time changing Leah so that Rita can learn. "I'll stick around for a little bit so that Leah can use her diaper again and you can change her with me supervising," Tina says to her sister. Rita nods. Leah sits up, glad to be in a clean diaper. Rita turns her attention to her.
"So, Leah, I hope you don't mind, but I've come up with the character you'll be method acting as this week," she says eagerly. Leah holds her breath. "You'll be playing my niece Leah, who is..."
