Secrets

***

It was just another day at the Roivas mansion. Everyone was hanging out and having a good time in the basement, enjoying tipple from Edward's special stash! They were also watching a movie on Edward's new DVD player. The movie was Master of Disguise starring Dana Carvey.

"Pass the popcorn!" cried Maximillian! So Edward ran upstairs to get his big Christmas tin of delicious popcorn. It contained delicious caramel popcorn, savory cheese popcorn, and the classic favorite: butter flavored.

When Edward arrived with the popcorn, everyone anxiously dug in! (except for Paul, who was watching his figure).

"This movie sucks!" exclaimed Michael.

"I agree," concurred Edwin. "Let's play a game!" So Edward ran upstairs and brought back the gang's favorite board game: Jurassic Park! He came back downstairs to find everyone excited to play the game, and the Master of Disguise DVD rent into bits on the floor.

Karim took the game and set it up on the floor while everyone circled around the board.

"This is so exciting!" cried Peter.

"I couldn't agree more!" exclaimed Michael.

Then everyone heard an embarrassing noise…

"Something is rife with foetor!" shouted Anthony with horror. "We must protect Charlemagne!"

"Sorry everyone!" giggled Roberto. "I'm just a little gassy." Then everyone laughed. Edward ran upstairs to get an electric fan. When he returned, he found that everyone was fighting over the character they got to play!

"I get to be Alan Grant!" exclaimed Edwin. "We look the same and we go on adventures!"

"I don't want to be Lex. I had to play Lex last time," complained Karim.

"Yes," commented Peter. "I had to play Ellie last time, and I don't like playing a woman. I want to be Alan this time!"

"I want to be Dr. Hammond!" exclaimed Paul.

No one argued with him.

"I want to be Donald Genarro!" cried Anthony.

"I'd like to play the dashing Dr. Ian Malcolm," grinned Edward.

"I'd prefer to play the young boy Timmy," commented Roberto.

"Ha!" laughed Maximillian. "You'd be much better suited to NEDRY!"

"NEDRY!?" shouted Roberto. "You're much fatter than I be!"

"Am not!" cried Maximillan.

"Are so!" yelled Roberto. With anger, Maximillian picked up the nearest object, which happened to be the lid to the popcorn tin, and hurled it discus-style towards Roberto.

"Guys! Let's not fight!" protested Edward meekly, but it was too late. The dented discus flew past Roberto's head. As Roberto began to stick his tongue out at Maximillian, they heard a metallic "WHOMP!" as the tin lid made contact with poor Anthony's head!

When Anthony came to, he found everyone poring over him.

"Are you ok?!" asked Karim.

"Are you alive?" asked Michael.

"I'm ok," said Anthony meekly. "I just need some aspirin." Anthony hoisted himself up and feebly pulled himself up the stairs to the Roivas kitchen. He searched around in all the cupboards for a bottle of Tylenol, or even generic substitute (save $!), but was unsuccessful. He saw a few backpacks on the ground that he recognized to belong to his friends. He hoped they would have some pain-relieving capsules so he began to sift through the bags.

He unzipped one, and wiggled his bony hand around inside. He made contact with something soft and squishy. He pulled it out to see if there was some Tylenol underneath, only to realize….it was a diaper!!

With horror Anthony dropped the gigantic white diaper and looked to see whose bag it was…when he heard everyone coming upstairs! Anthony quickly zipped up the bag and shoved the big but thankfully unused diaper behind his back.

"Hey Anthony! Are you ok?" asked Edwin.

"I'm great!" stammered a nervous Anthony.

"We're going bowling!" shouted Maximillian. The gang began to gather their belongings to head out to the Roivas limo. Anthony tried hard to see who picked up the diaper bag…but there were too many people clambering for their things. Anthony craned his neck farther to see…when someone tapped him on the shoulder!

"Hey Anthy!" It was Roberto. "You look kind of sick and nervous…are you sure you want to go bowling?" Anthony looked at his friend and began to smile and reply…until he saw Roberto was holding the bag that contained the diaper! Anthony shouted out and ran from the room, leaving the big diaper behind him.

Roberto looked horrified at what Anthony left behind, and quickly shoved the diaper under his robes, wondering what he should do next.

Anthony sat on the chamber pot in the secret Roivas room. All of a sudden, he felt sorry for himself. How could he be so rude to Roberto when he had such a big bowel or bladder problem? He began to weep at his own rudeness.

Back in the kitchen, everyone wondered where Anthony was.

"What happened to him?" asked Paul.

"I think I know," said Roberto shyly. "I'll explain it all, but first, I need to apologize to Anthony."

Everyone wondered what the cryptic words could mean, but began searching the house for Anthony nonetheless.

Maximillian searched upstairs, his sword unsheathed in case a bone thief should appear! He peered in the dark secret room…and saw a figure perched on his beloved chamber pot!

"DIE YOU WRETCHED BEAST!" he yelled ready to pounce! The pitiful creature whimpered "no!" as Maximillian recognized it was Anthony! Found at last!

Everyone ran upstairs and gathered around Anthony.

"Anthony, I think you got the wrong idea," began Roberto, sitting beside his friend. "I don't need to wear these diapers." He pulled the diaper from underneath his rooms. A great gasp washed over the crowd. Murmurs began to fill the silence with words of "diapers?!" and "what is going on!?"

"You see Anthony, I'm not incontinent, or have leaky bowels."

Anthony wiped away his tears and shuddered. "You don't?"

"No Anthony. You see...I'm an A.B."

"What's that?" asked Edward.

"An Adult Baby," remarked Roberto. "You see, I enjoy wearing diapers and sucking a pacifier. I cry and ask for daddy to spank his bad boy. I also enjoy making a big mess out of myself with food. I love pizza the best. In fact, you may have seen the big Adult Baby Shop downtown!"

"That's not so bad!" smiled Anthony, sniffing.

"I've been in that store a few times!" remarked Karim.

"In fact," continued Roberto. "It's called a fetish. Almost everyone has one!"

"I do!" chimed in Edwin. Everyone looked at him. "I like to steal things and hide them under my hat. It makes me feel so sexy when I realize I have special things hidden right above my head!" To emphasize his point, he pulled a pair of raunchy BVDs and a Ricky Martin Hip Clips keychain out from under his hat. Anthony recognized the underwear.

"Me too!" smiled Karim. "I enjoy roleplaying to my favorite Disney movies."

"I like to vomit my meals on my sexual partner," agreed Paul.

"I make love to gigantic stuffed animals!" laughed Peter.

"And even I love to hide in the big dumpster next to the mansion, bathing myself in the garbage before pleasuring myself sexually," smiled Maximillian.

"I'm a furry!" cried Michael.

Anthony felt better about the diaper. Then everyone went bowling. They saw Simon there. Edwin stole a bowling pin and hid it under his hat. They ordered pizza, and Roberto felt comfortable enough to wear his Adult Baby costume. They even let him rub a few slices over himself.

THE END
