Rarity makes quick work of pulling the changing supplies out of her saddlebags, levitating them to the the space of the table around Sweetie Belle. However, as she's picking out the new diaper and finally turning to face Sweetie Belle, Rarity frowns upon seeing the unhappy expression on her Sweetie Belle's face. Rarity sighs, lays down the diaper and scoops her sister off the table and into a hug. While Sweetie Belle had never been one to complain, Rarity had gotten quite good at reading her sister's feelings, especially since they'd rekindled their relationship at the Sisterhoove's social. She also was pretty familiar with Sweetie's feelings on her status as lacking both a cutie mark and potty training. After all, Rarity had been something of a late bloomer on getting her cutie mark herself.
"Oh Sweetie Belle," Rarity coos, hugging her sister close and nuzzling her gently. "How many times do I have to tell you, your diapers are nothing to be ashamed of, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. I know I'm not the best pony when it comes to things that are messy, but I would change a million dirty diapers for you if I had too." She smiles and pecks Sweetie Belle's forehead, before hugging her some more.
She hated how sensitive Sweetie Belle was about her condition, of course she was well aware that part of it was her treatment at school. But after all that was one of the reasons she'd convinced her sister to join in this competition. To give Sweetie Belle a chance to be in a position where not only was she surrounded by young fillies like her, but also to display herself without shame or fear of ridicule.
"Now are you ready to cheer up and let me change you?" Rarity coos. "I don't want to have a dour filly on our day of sisterly fun and I'm prepared to resort to drastic measures to cheer you up." She adds with a wink.
