Ravel was shifting anxiously in one of the two barely padded cloth seats that were in the office of the car salesman she was talking to. More accurate to say the salesman that Donna Sue was talking to as she had been doing most of the talking in the lengthy process of finalizing Ravel’s car purchase. Donna Sue was clearly the experienced one here and checked the car itself and the paperwork that followed for obvious pitfalls and even caught a few during the negotiation process. Ravel was thankful for her help, at the same time though the more things she checked the longer this whole process took, and they had already been in there most of the day. She was eager to get this over with not just because she was bored.

It was something of a forgone conclusion that Ravel would be wearing a pull-up here. She hadn’t stopped wearing a pull-up for more than a month now. They were here regular underwear now, and she wasn’t shy about using them. The problem now was that, after several hours of negotiation, the pull-up was very ready to be changed. There didn’t seem to be an opportunity in the near future to go back home and get it changed and she had to go again. The nagging need was clawing at her bladder. She couldn’t help but worry that her first trip in her new car would end with her leaking on her seats.

Ravel was snapped out of her thoughts as she signed what must have been the 300th piece of paper that day.

“Great thank you,” the salesman said with the smile that he somehow hadn’t dropped all day. Happiness was easy to come by when a commission was about to be paid. “I’m going to go run this by my manager. I’ll be back in a few minutes ladies.” Donna Sue eyed the man as he left the room. With the tension somewhat eased by his departure Ravel sighed loudly.

“What’s the matter?” Donna Sue asked coolly.

“I just didn’t think it would take this long,” Ravel complained.

“I told you it would take the better part of a day. Everything ok?” There was a long moment of silence as Ravel blushed,

“I need to go to the bathroom,” Ravel admitted in a whisper. Donna Sue looked at Ravel wordlessly asking the obvious question and Ravel looked back wordlessly answering an obvious answer.

“I told you. You should have brought a change,” Donna Sue said unsympathetically.

“Yeah, I know,” Ravel admitted defeat.

“You might just have to use the toilet dear,” Donna Sue said pointedly. There was a pause as the implication of what she said settled in the room. The implication was Ravel clearly didn’t want to use the bathroom. The moment didn’t last long as Donna Sue broke character with a smirk. “Thankfully for you, one of us plans ahead,” Donna Sue fished into her large purse and revealed she had packed one of the Potty Training Princess pull-ups. “Snagged this on my way out, so you don’t have to break your streak.” Donna Sue handed the pull-up to Ravel who took it with confusion.

“I don’t have a bag,” Ravel said with a blush.

“Well one of us needs to stay here in case our friend comes back,” Donna Sue pointed out.

“Can I borrow your purse then?”

“Absolutely not,” Donna Sue was firm. “You should consider having to walk to the bathroom with your pull-up in your hand as your reminder. If you’re really dedicated to this diaper …”

“Pull-up,” Ravel corrected.

“Pull-up,” Donna Sue continued. “Thing, then you need to learn to prepare for things like this. Consider it a learning experience.” Ravel was quiet as she didn’t have a comeback. Donna Sue was right, she should have prepared, and this would definitely be a learning experience. Ravel grabbed the pull-up in defeat.

“You couldn’t have grabbed one of the Discretes?” Ravel asked.

“Those weren’t nearly as cute,” Donna Sue grinned. Ravel shot her a look before leaving the room.

Ravel did her best to hide the pull-up with her arm as she made a brisk pace to the restroom. Despite her worries it seems that no one else paid her any attention Thankfully, not only was no one in it, but it was a single stall bathroom. Relieved to not have to do this with other potential people around, Ravel got to work changing.

It was a decidedly uncomfortable affair; one Ravel wasn’t eager to have to go through again. Having to take both her shoes and pants off in public made her feel weird, as did leaving the soaked pull-up in the bathroom’s small garbage can. Ravel cursed that she had run out of skirts to wear and made a note to buy some more. The whole time Ravel couldn’t help but notice that this whole situation could have been avoided if she had worn her other diaper. Not only would she not have needed to change, but also changing it would have been easier.

Regardless the change was done and as soon as the new pull-up was on Ravel was reminded of her need to go. She couldn’t help but watch in the mirror as the hear turned into a water droplet before pulling her pants back on.

“Yeah, you definitely need diapers little lady. You wet your pull-up as soon as you put it on. With the toilet right there to boot. Someone’s not ready for potty training.” The inner mommy in Ravel’s head lovingly chastised her. Ravel’s face grew flush and her hand shot down to her crotch where the wet pull-up was. She couldn’t help but giggle as she pressed it against herself while her inner mommy continued to whisper sweet nothings in her ear about her days of potty training being over.

Ravel had to stop herself and refocus. She had a car to buy and getting lewd in a public bathroom was indecent anyway. Ravel collected herself, removing any lewd thoughts to focus instead on the mundane task of finalizing car loan details.

Ravel took her time returning, reentering her salesman’s office right in the middle of Donna Sue vehemently denying an extended warranty offer.

“Welcome back Miss Charger,” the salesman said hopefully. “I was just explaining miss Sue the benefits of an extended warranty.” Donna Sue turned around and gave Ravel a look.

“If she says no, I say no,” Ravel shrugged. Donna Sue smiled in victory as the salesman put a pamphlet away.

“Well, if you don’t want the warranty then I think we’re all good here. Everything is in order and I got your keys ready.” He dangled a key chain with one key and one lock on it. “Congratulations on your new car!” He said excitedly dropping the keys in Ravel’s hands. Ravel couldn’t help but smile. She found herself looking to Donna Sue for approval and she smiled along with Ravel. “It’s been a pleasure doing business with you ladies,” the salesman said quickly shaking both of their hands. “I’ve got it pulled around front for you.”

Ravel and Donna Sue both eagerly left the room and toward the front of the car dealership where the new to Ravel car was waiting. It wasn’t anything to write home about. A completely non-descript small used car. One that was notably reliable, good on gas, and easy to maintain. Most importantly though, it was Ravel’s. It was all hers and it signified her independence. Ravel could feel the importance as she hit the unlock button on her remote and heard the car chirp in response.

“You sure you know how to drive that thing?” Donna Sue asked.

“I have my license,” Ravel said defensively.

“That doesn’t mean much,” Donna Sue said with the sigh of a person who has spent many an hour in traffic. “How about I follow you over to that Italian place for our celebration lunch?”

“God yes I am starving,” Ravel sighed.

“Me too. That took about two hours too long. Meet you there. Drive safe!” Donna Sue said before leaving to her car and leaving Ravel to sit in hers for the first time. Ravel took a moment to take it in. It wasn’t the first time she had ever driven a car, but it was the first time she had driven a car that belonged to her. She felt a new level or relaxation and pride as she settled into the driver seat in a way she couldn’t with a car that wasn’t hers.

The whole time Ravel couldn’t help but also feel the wet pull-up on her bottom and had mixed feelings about that sensation being mixed in with this touchstone moment. Ravel had never thought that she would be taking such a big milestone while wearing a wet pull-up. It was a weird juxtaposition. The feeling of a used pull-up was something undeniably juvenile and childish, but that was mixed with the most adult thing Ravel had ever done in her life. Making things more complicated was that the only reason Ravel was able to do this adult thing was because of the childish thing around her waist. It was wearing pull-ups, and wetting them that got her the money to afford this new car. Life really was funny.

Ravel’s musings on life were interrupted by Donna Sue driving past in her own car giving Ravel a quizzical look. So much for her following Ravel, it was now the other way around. Ravel started her new car and got it in gear, quickly getting used to how it handled.

It was a short and uneventful drive to the place Donna Sue had picked out. Ravel was a bit disappointed, she felt like her first drive should have been more eventful, but the reasoned that eventful drives usually weren't good for the driver’s health.

Dona Sue waved Ravel over, she was already waiting by the door of the restaurant. Ravel quickly jogged up.

“How was your first drive?” Donna Sue said with a grin.

“It’s a little weird to be honest,” Ravel admitted. “I guess I’m still getting used to the idea of driving myself you know.”

“You’ll get there pretty quickly I imagine,” Donna Sue smiled as the two made their way inside. “Make sure you text Micheal the good news I’m sure he’s waiting eagerly.”

“He’s probably worried we got murdered with how long that took,” Ravel said annoyed.

“Oh, keep your pull-up dry,” Donna Sue laughed at her own joke. Ravel rolled her eyes. “I’m sure he’s not. You forget he’s trying to be a lawyer; he knows how long tedious paperwork can take.” Donna motioned to the hostess to get a table for two while Ravel was busy texting Micheal.

Ravel: you gurls got a new car 0/-\0

Gratz. But what’s that sposed to be? :Micheal

Ravel: Is a car emoticon.

Yeah I don’t think so XD. Gratz on the car tho now you can go get pull ups on ur own :Micheal

Ravel: ull miss me soon enough

Nope :Micheal

Ravel rolled her eyes and put her phone away, having subtly been led by Donna Sue to their table. Donna Sue looked at Ravel expectantly, silently offering her to explain her text conversation.

“He sends his congratulations,” Ravel explained quickly. “He also gave me a hard time about getting him to drive me to the mall for pull-ups.”

“You had that one coming,” Donna Sue said with no sympathy at all.

“Yeah, you’re right.”

“What are you going to do with your new car? Any road trips planned? Maybe one to the mall by yourself this time.”

“No road trips planned. And I have Stuffies deliver the pull-ups now if that’s what you’re implying,” Ravel gave Donna Sue a side eye. “I don’t know though. I haven’t really thought about it.”

“You could look for yourself a new job,” Donna Sue offered. “I know the big reason you’ve been staying with that hardware store is because it’s in walking distance. You could stand to get a better apartment as well.”

“One life changing event at a time,” Ravel laughed. “The way streaming is going, I might not need even a real job.”

“I don’t know that that’s a good idea,” Donna Sue said with trepidation.

“Not right now, but maybe soon.”

“You really brining in that much streaming?”

“I’m bringing in a lot more than when I started, and if I keep getting pay days like the last one then I don’t really need a day job.” Donna Sue’s face gave away her unease. “I know you don’t like it, but this is what I’ve always wanted, even if it’s not exactly what I wanted.”

“I know. I am glad that you can make a career out of streaming.” Ravel looked at Donna expecting a “but.” “Really I’m happy for you,” Donna Sue said instead.

“Where’s the ‘but’,” Ravel crossed her arms.

“I won’t burden you with my ‘but’ today, Ravel,” Donna Sue said with a smirk. “Today’s a good day for you and I don’t wanna ruin it by being pessimistic. I can do that later.” Ravel chuckled lightly but was grateful that she wouldn’t have to deal with more words of caution.
