Leah feels a pressure in her tummy before her bowels suddenly rumble. Unable to control her body, she bends into a squat and begins to push.
"Oh, I get it," Tina says. "You knew you needed to poop, didn't you? Well, that's very big girl of you, but remember, little ones like you don't need to know when they're about to poop or pee."
The static feeling returns, and Leah knows that any sort of warning or awareness she once had is now fully gone.
"Of course, you're big enough to change yourself, so it's important that you know when you've used your diaper," Tina says. Leah sighs. At least that hasn't changed.
The smell filling the bedroom is horrible. Tina shakes her head as she leaves the room.
"You teens are so stinky! I bet you wish you couldn't smell it!"
Tina glances at Leah once, then closes the door behind her. With a familiar sense of static, Leah stops noticing the smell of her fully loaded diaper.
"That went about as well as it could," Leah mutters. She feels warmth in her diaper, which she recognizes as pee. But she didn't feel herself peeing. Come to think of it, she didn't feel herself finish pooping.
Okay, so Tina accidentally made it so that Leah can't feel herself go, have any warning, or smell it. But she can still feel the effects on her diaper, which is all she needs to know when to change herself.
Leah gets down from the crib and waddles over to the changing table, which has a step stool by it. She uses the stool to climb onto the changing table and change herself. Thankfully, she does it quickly and masterfully, the result of Tina emphasizing that she can change herself.
Leah gets off the changing table and goes to her closet. Her options aren't great. But there's one thing that hasn't changed: her school uniform. And it is a school day.
Leah dresses in her school uniform, swallowing her frustration at her diaper sticking out under her skirt. Still clinging to her stuffed animal, she exits her room and goes to the kitchen. Tina looks over at the sound of footsteps.
"Little Miss Independent," she coos. "Getting dressed on your own."
"Yep!" Leah says quickly, hoping to prevent Tina from saying anything that might cause a warp.
"I do think it's a shame that you and the other diapered students can't..." Tina starts. Leah opens her mouth to interrupt, but Tina finishes her sentence before she can.
