Padded Beach
     "Beach, beach, beach," said Spitfire as he was eagerly waiting for Elsina to find a place to park at the local beaches parking lot. "We'll get to beach as soon as I find a parking space okay, Spits," Elsina says as she tries to calm him down. "I wanna build a sand castle, one thats really big," he says as she begins to park their van. "Is it going to have a moat and seashells," she asked. Spitfire thought for a second before answering, "maybe." "I bet it would really nice either way," Elsina said to him. "Speaking of which, can I play now," he asked. "We can play after we get what we need from the back of our van," she responds. He pouts. "Hey, cheer up," says Elsina as she tries to comfort him, "I'll let you get out the "fun" stuff." Spitfire stops pouting and gets up. "But while I'm getting the not "fun" stuff out, could you put on a pair of plastic pants, we don't any dragons diaper filled with sand."
    "How do I look?," Spitfire proudly says as he comes to help Elsina while wearing his new plastic pants. "Handsome as always," Elsina says as she moves out of the way. "Hi bucket, hello shovel," he says as he unloads their van, "are those swim diapers?" "They are," Elsina responds, "we don't you soaking up the whole ocean, do we?" Spitfire laughs a bit as he imagines the scenario. "I don't think you would be able to move around," she adds while trying to hold in a laugh. "I don't think I would even be able to crawl," Spitfire says while grabbing a beach blanket and his diaper bag. "I think thats everything," Elsina says as she attempts to close the trunk. "Allow me," said Spitfire as he helps her. "Thanks," she responds, "maybe we will get ice cream here." "I love ice cream," he says as he follows her.
   "Can I please make a sand castle after we find a spot?," Spitfire says as he walks with Elsina. "Well since you said "the magic word" I guess you can," she responds. "Sand castle, sand cast-," said Spitfire before finding the perfect spot. "You found something?," Elsina asked him. "I found the perfect spot," he said while pointing to a place on the beach that had some shade, "it has some shade and I can see a bathroom near by for when my diaper gets soggy." "Great idea Spits," Elsina says to him,"you have a good eye." "I have two good eyes," he says while holding two claws up. "Can I make a sand castle now?," he asked. "In a couple minutes, first we have to put our blanket on the sand and get some sun screen on you," she says back to him. "But sun screen is cold and icky," he says while walking back a couple steps. "But would you rather get a bad sunburn?," she asked him. Spitfire slowly walks back to her.
     Spitfire found it hard to keep still as Elsina was applying the sun block on him, though he knew that once she was done, he could finally play. "All right, you're good," she says as she finishes, "now you can play." Spitfire looks down to see if he needs a change and luckily it was not time for that yet. "Well, I don't know about you, but I think its time for a sand castle to be built," Spitfire says. He then proceeds to get his shovel and fill up his bucket. "Aren't you forgeting one crucial step, Spits?," Elsina asked him. Spitfire looks back at her and responds with, "I don't think so." He then quickly turns his bucket upside down and puts it on the ground. "I feel that this is the start of something good," he says as he's about to lift the bucket. But as soon as he picks up the bucket, all that hard work became all for naught as all he got was a pile of sand. "I don't get it," Spitfire says as he puts his claws in the sand, "its not supposed to be all lumpy." He looks at Elsina with a confused look on his face. "It only stays in place with wet sand," Elsina said to him, "sorry, about that dude."
       Spitfire stared at the waves and looked back at Elsina. "Whats wrong?," she asked him. "What if the water manages to get past my pants and swell's my diaper up?," he asked her. "As long as you don't bend down too much, I think you will be fine," she assure's him. He takes his plastic shovel and bucket and begins to move closer to the wet sand. "Elsina's right, and besides, my diaper eventually swells up anyway," he thinks to himself as he begins to fill his bucket. He looks back at her and she waves back at him, making him feel safe. After he fills his bucket he runs back to Elsina while trying not to spill any sand. "Okay, lets do this for real," he says as he places the bucket upside down. Like magic, the bundle of sand he collected managed to stay sturdy. "I did it Elsina, I did it," he excitedly told her, "I made a sand castle." "I'm really proud of you Spits," Elsina said to him. "I'm going to get more wet sand so I can make the big one I promised you," he says as he starts to get up. "Okay, and I'll make sure your castle is safe," she says as he begins walking back to the water.
   Spitfire went back and forth from his sand castle to the water so many times that he lost count. "Now we can decorate it," he says as he places his bucket and shovel on the sand. "And it looks like somebody needs a change," Elsina says as she points to his diaper. Spitfire looks down to see that she was correct. He blushes and grabs his diaper bag before going to the restroom. As he leaves, Elsina decides to check the menu of the "Sandy Sandwich," a restaurant that many beach goers eat at for lunch. "Oh Spits would love this place," she says as she examines the menu. She then heads back to the sand castle with a copy of the menu in her claws. "He really put his heart and soul into this," she says as she looks at his palace of sand.
   Spitfire comes out of the restroom just a minute later and comes back. "Those are some pretty shells Elsina," he says as he watches her carefully place some seashells on the highest places of the castle. "Thanks Spitfire," Elsina responds, "do you wanna put some sticks on the castle? They won't necessarily be flags but we can use our imagination." Spitfire nods and proceeds to look for a few loose sticks. "And after that we can go get some lunch," she adds. "Can we get ice cream later?," Spitfire says while smiling at her. "Sure," she responds before looking at an ice cream truck tracker app, "and that might involve a Sponge or Sonic bar." Spitfire begins to salivate as he continues to look for sticks to place on the castle. "Lets try not to get spit on our castle okay," she says with a soothing tone. Spitfire then takes her advice by closing his mouth and wiping his mouth with a tissue. "I'm sorry," he says as he throws the tissue in a garbage can before he continues decorating.
    They continued to decorate their sand castle until there was no more space left. Just in time too, as Spitfire's tummy started to growl. "I guess you're hungry," Elsina said. Spitfire nodded before taking a picture of their sand castle on his phone, "now I'll always remember it." She then gives him a take-home copy of the menu and says, "see anything you like?" He looks it over and nods to her. "Then were off to lunch then," she says before they start walking off to the "Sandy Sandwich." "What do you want to get there?," she asked him. "The grilled cheese and tomato soup platter," Spitfire responded. "Oh that does sound," Elsina responds back, "though I don't think they have goldfish crackers there, which I know kinda ruins the fun." "I'll power through," Spitfire says before noticing that one of the diners at the restaurant is someone he knows.
   "You okay Spits, you can't be wet already," Elsina said to him. "I think thats my other "mommy," he says. Elsina gave him a weird look. "From that adult nursery I sometimes go to," Spitfire informs her. "Oh her," Elsina says, "I remember you saying that you really like her." This was a great moment for Spitfire: not only was it lunch time but he would also be next to his other "mommy." The two dragons sit down at one of the tables and wait for their waiter to arrive. "Welcome to the "Sandy Sandwich," said the waiter, "are you ready to order?" "I'll have the portobello and chedder and a cola, please," Elsina told the waiter. After her turn, Spitfire went. "And I want the grilled cheese and tomato soup platter with an cola as well," Spitfire said to the man. "Thanks, the cook will begin shortly," the weasel said before walking away. With that out of the way, Spitfire tried to look for his nursery "mommy,"  Jennifer.
    "You can get up and see her, Spits," Elsina told him, "she does seem to really like you." "But she is not working today," he says. "That may be true, but everytime I'm there to pick you up, it always seems that she really likes working with ABDL's like yourself, like a caretaker," she assures him. He still seems a little nervous. "Don't worry, I know what will make you more comfortable," she says as she starts looking through his diaper bag. She brings out a pacifier, "will this help?" He nods and takes it out of her hand. "Don't worry, I'll be right here," she assured him. Spitfire with his pacifier in his mouth slowly gets up and begins to leave the table. At the halfway point he looks back at Elsina, who gives him a thumbs up. He continues to walk to the kangaroo albeit slowly. The kangaroo starts to move her head thinking its her waitress. His nervousness quickly diminishes as she smiles at him the same way she does at the nursery. 
   "Hi there Spitfire, its nice to see you today," she says in a gentle tone, "are you having fun at the beach." He does not anything and nods. "Are you okay?," she asks. Spitfire waits for a second before asking, "is it okay to talk to you when you're not working?" "Of course it is, I love interacting with those that are young at heart," she assures him, "the only difference is that at work I get paid for it." Spitfire instantly feels much better as he takes out his pacifier. "Its like how you are a video game critic, but you also play them when you're not working," Jennifer says to him. "I get what your put putting down," Spitfire says back to her. His phone starts to vibrate for a second before he checks his messages. "Something happen," Jennifer asked him. "My lunch is here," Spitfire said back, "see ya next weekend." With that, he happily walks back to Elsina to see that lunch has truly arrived.
   After getting back to the table, Spitfire starts to eat and drink with Elsina. "Told ya there was nothing to worry about," Elsina said to him. Spitfire nodded while he continued to chew. Elsina checks her phone and said, "according to my ice cream truck app, one is scheduled to be here in a half-hour." Spitfire stopped chewing for a second as soon as she finished her sentence. "Do you know what you want?," she asked. Spitfire swallows before saying, "either Spongebob or Sonic." "A man of culture," she says before continuing to eat. "What do you want?," he asked. "Probably a Sonic one," she says between bites, "who knows, the eyeballs might be in the right place for once." Spitfires laughs for a second before having some of his drink. The two dragons continue to eat their lunch before agreeing to split the bill.
   "Elsina," Spitfire asked her as they returned to their spot, "when is the ice cream truck going to be here?" "In a few minutes," she says when looking at her phone. "Okay," he says as he begins to check his phone. "Do you need a change before it gets here?," she asks. "I only feel a little wet," he replies. "Looks like we didn't need to bring the swim diapers with us," Elsina said to him. "Yeah," Spitfire says to her, "but diapers are diapers." Elsina checks her phone again, "we only have to wait for a couple more minutes." Spitfire looks back at her and begins to get his wallet from his diaper bag. "Hey, we already split the check, consider this my treat." Hearing this, Spitfire put his wallet back in the bag.
     A few minutes have passed and just seconds before Spitfire would start doubting the trucks arrival, the unmistakable jingle started to travel into his ears. He turned his head toward Elsina. "Lets go if we don't want to miss it," she says. This was the ultimate test for Spits, being excited while trying to keep his diaper from getting wet. "Come on Spits," she says as she starts walking to the truck, with him walking right behind her. "If my eyes are correct, they are selling the Sonic bar," Elsina says while still walking. Spitfire was so focused on the truck that he didn't notice that they were close to the truck until they were almost there. "Hey Elsina," Spitfire said to her, "did you know there was once a Mario bar?" Elsina without looking back answered his question with a simple "yeah."
    The two dragons pay the driver and in exchange they get their Sonic bars. "Hey Elsina," Spitfire says to Elsina, "lets see if either of ours has the gumball eyes perfectly in place." They both simultaneously open up the wrapper revealing the quality. "Well, they tried," said Elsina as it was revealed that both of their bars could of been better. Spitfire shrugged before taking a bite out of his. "I suppose your right, food is food," Elsina said before taking a bite out of his bar. They were almost done with their treats before Spitfires phone went off. "Someone call you," Elsina asked him. "No, its just getting close to my nap time," he says while looking at his phone. "Well we better get a move on then," she says before finishing her ice cream. 
     Ten minutes have passed and everything was back in the van, as well as Spitfire being given a fresh diaper. "We had alot of fun didn't we," Elsina said as she buckled Spitfire up. He nodded back to her. "Do you want your blankie," she asked even though she already knew what his answer would be. He nodded again before yawning. "And heres your bedtime buddy," she says as she gives him his Flygon Pokemon plush. "Thank you," he says while hugging it. "Good night, sweet prince," she said as she began to start the van, "you had a big day today."
The End
