The air was fresh and cool as I ran through the tall grass. It was late October and the leaves on the trees were turning red and gold. To the eyes of a 7 year old, these open fields stretched on forever. But it was merely a few acres set aside for a wetland, still very near to our house, but far enough away so I could play in relative privacy. It seemed no-one but my neighbour and I frequented the place. Which was good, because Shawn and I used to do some pretty unusual things. Some of which I can explain and understand, but sometimes I just don't know what was going on in my head.

Shawn was 5 years old, had dark brown hair, and wide, deep brown eyes. He was into dinky cars and wetting himself, which made for an instant attraction on my part, as I have always had a real "Thing" about diapers. Playing next door, at his house was what I liked best. His dinky car collection and Hotwheels City set up was a thing to behold. His room was a shrine to Hotwheels and Godzilla toys. He even had a Hotwheels bed. But my fascination was with his diapers.

Shawn's parents were into buying everything in bulk so there was always lots to eat and drink. They also bought diapers in bulk, thus providing me with an undetectable supply. But the nights that I could sleep over are what really stand out in my mind. This day, in late October, would produce one of those memorable evenings.

I loved to run. To feel the wind on my face and feather through my sandy blond hair. I hadn't a care in the world but that I might sleep over at my neighbour's that night. Shawn and I were on our way home after a long day of climbing on rocks and tying each other to trees. (Seeing who could tie the other up best was one of our favourite past-times). He always seemed to be able to get out of even my very best knot tying attempts.

As I was running I could feel the large pampers diaper I was wearing, which I kept in place with some tight underwear. (They fit Shawn not me) It was starting to bunch up a little and I needed to go pee, so I stopped to make some minor adjustments, then prepared to empty my bladder. I could just hear the continual whimpering of Shawn in the distance as he did his best to follow. "Wait up....Daaave..Wait!". He panted.

"Hurry up!" I shouted back as I felt the pressure and tingling build up before the inevitable flow.

Shawn was just coming into view as the floodgates rushed open. My eyes watered and I felt a shiver run up my spine as I filled my diaper with warm pee. The expression on my face must have said a lot because when Shawn finally arrived he waited for the moment to pass, he knew what I was doing, we knew each other very well.

When I finished I grabbed my sweatpants and pulled them up tightly between my legs, the diaper gave a satisfying squish and I smiled.

"Take the tape off...Its pinching!" Shawn whined as he pulled down his pants and pointed to the large band of duct-tape that I had wrapped around his waist and diaper earlier to prevent him from taking it off.

"You do it." I said, still luxuriating in the feeling of my wet diaper.

"I can't, it hurts to much", he pulled at the tape and almost started to cry.

I reluctantly waived him over. I knew how to take off a Band-Aid and this situation was no different in my eyes. I grabbed an end and pulled it all off as fast as I could, ripping his diaper in the process. It must have hurt because he started to cry.

"Come on you baby." I said, turning around to go, but checking over my shoulder to see if he was OK

The field turned into a small path that went between two houses at the end of our block. I turned to see how Shawn was doing. He had dried his eyes and was just in the process of ditching his diaper. Which reminded me that I had to do the same before I went home. (You see, Shawn was only supposed to wear diapers at night, but because of the ample supply we could use them secretly during the day too.) I pulled my underpants down and slid the wet diaper out from between my legs. The air felt cold on my privates and I pulled up my pants quickly, rolling up the diaper and throwing it into the deep blackberry bushes which bordered the wetland.

"Lets go ask my parents first" I grabbed his shirt and we spun around in a circle until we were dizzy and fell to the ground. Then I got up and ran to my front door, Shawn on my heals. We hit the door at the same time and both fought each other to get inside first. Quickly taking off our shoes we ran upstairs to the kitchen where my Mom was at the stove making dinner.

"Mom! Mom! Can I stay over at Shawn's house tonight?"

She looked down at our two eager faces "Well I don't know...You've been over there quite a lot lately."

"His parents said it's OK" I lied, but it was a pretty safe bet that everything would be OK on that end.

My exuberance was to much for her and she relented almost immediately. I think my parents actually enjoyed the free baby-sitting service our neighbours provided.

"All right, but dinners on the table in 15 minutes so say goodbye to Shawn until tonight and go get washed up, your totally filthy."......"And put your dirty cloths in the hamper, not on the floor!"

I followed Shawn back down the stairs to the front door and watched as he pulled up his long socks which always seemed to be trying to escape his feet.

"So I'll be over after dinner, tell your parents that it's OK with mine for me to stay over tonight."

"Yup." "Bring your cars!" He said as he ran out the door, tripping over his shoelaces as he jumped the flowerbed to the front lawn.

I took off my dirty cloths, throwing them in the hampers general direction. Then quickly splashed some cold water on my hands and face. I got dressed, pulling on a blue sweatshirt, (my favourite colour) and pants. I ran to the dinner table eager to get this over with so I could go play. I gobbled down my chicken and veggies so quickly that my father told me to slow down or I would choke.

"Can I go now?" I whined as I put my dirty dishes in the dishwasher.

"Just wait a second while I get your things together" Mom said as she got up and went to my room. She called back to my Dad, "Honey, could you clean up the table?"

Dad grumbled something back and started to clean up as I rushed to my room to prevent my Mom from going through my bottom drawer and finding my stash of disposable and cloth diapers. She had my backpack and was stuffing my pyjamas into it when I rushed through the door.

"Go get your toothbrush dear"

I hesitated, then ran to the washroom and back as fast as I could. Whew! She hadn't opened my drawer. I grabbed my pack from her hands then stuffed some of my best cars in, and ran down the steps to the front door, slipping my shoes on.

"Hey! Aren't you forgetting something?" My Mom said expectantly, leaning over and pointing to her cheek.

I gave a big sheepish grin and ran back up the stairs to give her a kiss.

"Have a good night dear."

"I will" I said running back down the stairs.

"You go straight there, no wandering around OK?"

"OK Mom"

"Don't stay up to late!" She called as I ran through the front door into the evening darkness.

Shawn answered the door when I rang the bell. He said that they were just finishing a late dinner so I should go wait in his room. There house was almost the same design as ours. Two levels and lots of space. I went up the stairs and waived at Janice, (Shawn's Mom) who I could just see in the dining room, as I was on my way to Shawn's room. She waived back and said "Hi Dave." I went into Shawn's room and caught the familiar smells of urine and baby powder. I rummaged through my pack and pulled out my cars, setting them out on the Hotwheels City, my imagination taking over. The door bell rang again and I could hear Shawn's 9 year old sister Becky, chatting and laughing with what sounded like another couple of girls. Not long after that the doorbell rang again and I heard more laughing and chatter from Becky and her guests. I ignored the commotion and continued to play.

Shawn and his Mom came in to the room. "Now I want you boys stay upstairs OK, Becky's having some friends over tonight and they're all going to sleep in the den downstairs so don't bother them." She smiled at me as she turned and closed the door behind her.

"What'cha doing?" Shawn said, plopping down to the floor beside me, intent on a good imagination session with his cars. I didn't answer as I was already totally engrossed in my own little world which Shawn smoothly joined in on. All sense of time was lost as we played, and it seemed like just a few moments had past before his Mom came back into the room to get Shawn ready for bed.

"Do you have some PJ's with you David?" She said, while spreading out a diaper pad on Shawn's bed.

"Yup." I said reaching over for my bag.

"Well get them on, it's bedtime soon."

I opened my bag and took out my pyjamas then pulled off my sweatshirt and pants. I enjoyed watching Shawn get diapered by his mother and I was sure to keep an eye on the process while I made a fuss over getting changed. Shawn's Mom liked to rub baby powder on his bum and between his legs before putting on either a disposable or cloth diaper. Tonight it was cloth diapers with waterproof pants. I was finished changing into my PJs and was absorbed in watching Shawn's Mom pull the thick white diaper up between his legs and pin them snugly around his waist. She poked his feet through the plastic pants and pulled them up over the diaper after getting him to stand beside the bed. She looked up and saw me watching intently.

"Do you want to wear one to?"

My face went a bright red and I quickly told her no. Even though I wanted to so bad. She knew that I still wet the bed almost every night so I probably would have been doing her a favour, but I was far to embarrassed to wear a diaper in front of other people. At least I thought I was. "Now go brush your teeth and get ready for bed" Shawn's Mom said giving Shawn a good swat on the bum as we ran from the room. Shawn was wearing brown and green Scooby Doo pyjamas which bulged out from the thickness of the diaper around his waist. I looked down at my multi-colour coyote and roadrunner PJs and wished that I could have a large diapered bulge around my waist as well. We cleaned up then went back to our room. There was only one bed but we were both small so it worked out. Janice and Gary came in and kissed Shawn goodnight, they both ruffled up my hair and told us not to stay up talking. When the door closed I got up and went over to Shawn's drawer. I opened it and pulled out one of his thick cloth diapers with the extra absorbent core sewn in. "Are you gonna put a diaper on?" Shawn asked, though he didn't need to.

"Yup" I said, pulling out some plastic pants and diaper pins. I had seen this done enough times now so I did quite an expert job of doing myself up. I pulled the soft white diaper between my legs and squeezed them together enjoying the resistance to closing my legs completely. I sucked in my belly as I closed the last diaper pin, I liked them tight. I carefully pulled up my plastic pants, it was a fairly tight fit but not uncomfortable. I crawled back into bed feeling very good indeed.

It was not long after we had gone to sleep when we were woken up by some sounds in the room. It was Becky and one of her friends whispering to Shawn.

"Come on......we've got candy." I heard Becky saying. I turned to Shawn with an inquiring look.

"They want us to come downstairs and play"

"Huh?" I said, still a little groggy.

"Lets go" Shawn said as he slid out from under the covers. Still half asleep I got up and followed Shawn and the girls downstairs. We were walking quietly so as to not let Janice and Gary hear. We turned the corner and entered the den. There were 7 other girls there for a total of 9. The room was lit only in one corner by a lamp that reflected light off the ceiling. I saw a faint gleam from the bars of the universal gym by the window. The girls started giggling as we entered the room and I heard the word diaper said a few times when I realised that I had one on right now and it must be sticking out under my pyjamas just like Shawn's was. I looked down and saw that it was, and quickly walked over to the universal gym bench to sit down.

"I'll be back in a second." Becky said and ran from the room. Shawn came over and sat down beside me while the girls giggled and chatted among themselves.

Becky re-entered the room soon after carrying some of Shawn's diapers and a handful of pins. Shawn and I just looked at each other. After talking quietly with the other girls for a second Becky and two other girls came over.

"We want to change your diapers" Becky said addressing the two of us.

"No way!" Both Shawn and I said together, getting up from our seats. Becky grabbed my sleeve and one of the other girls grabbed Shawn by the arm.

"We have candy!" Becky said persistently, not letting go. This didn't look good as one of the other girls closed the door to the hall. All at once it seemed, we were on the floor and having our pyjamas taken off. These girls worked like a team and the girl who was in charge of keeping me quiet through all this was taking her job very seriously. I could hardly breathe with her sitting on my chest and pinning my arms under her legs, her hands around my neck. She would squeeze if I made any sound. I was perfectly pinned to the ground with more than enough hands to do the job. I couldn't see what was going on with Shawn but I'm sure his treatment was very much the same. They pulled down my plastic pants and took the pins out of my diaper. I was naked in front of a bunch of girls! I struggled feebly but was going nowhere.

"Look at his penis!" I felt many an inquiring hand around my privates and heard lots of giggling. The girl who was sitting on my chest strained to turn and look at my nakedness. She smiled and looked into my eyes, a big grin on her face. I was so embarrassed I could hardly stand it.

"Grab his diaper" I heard Becky say shortly.

"Lift his bum" One of the girls said as she came over with a couple of thick diapers and plastic pants. The girl on my chest sat up for a moment while another slid a thick white diaper under my rear.

"I want to." One of the girls was saying, indicating her desire to participate.

"Here, you do that pin and I'll do this one" said the girl who had slid the diaper under my bum. I felt two sets of hands working on pinning up my diaper then I felt someone sliding plastic pants up my legs. I was co- operating by lifting up my bum as they slid the plastic pants over my diaper, I just wanted this to be over.

They let me get up standing in only a diaper and I watched Shawn as they finished with him. Becky picked up both our pairs of pyjamas, walked over to the door, and threw them out in the hallway.

"Go get em!" She prompted.

Gratefully we both rushed from the room into the hallway. Becky shut the door behind us. We heard a tremendous amount of giggling from back in the den.

Shawn and I picked up our pyjamas and went back upstairs to his room. We were both humiliated on the one hand but strangely excited about the whole incident on the other, at least I was. Shawn just wanted to kill his sister.

When we had crawled back into bed, we talked about what had happened to each of us. By the end of our brief exchange of words we had decided that the most prudent form of action would be to somehow pay the girls back for what they did, but neither of us could come up with a suitable rebuttal, and we were tired now to. We fell asleep in just a very short while, Shawn dreaming of revenge...

Me dreaming of.........................another day.....and another story.
