Half pony, half human, the perfect daughter

It was a lazy Saturday morning for you and your family. With a cup of tea in one hand and a newspaper in the other, you let your back fall onto the soft and inviting couch right next to Derpy, who immediately leans against you. Little Muffin is napping peacefully in her cradle next to Derpy, Dinky is laying on the floor, drawing in a coloring book you got her a few days back, and Sparkler is at a friend's house.

"Dad, can I ask you a question?" Dinky asks, looking up from her coloring book at you.

You smirk to yourself and respond, "You just did."

Dinky stares at you, unimpressed. You can almost feel Derpy roll her eyes at you. You chuckle slightly before saying, "What is it, Sweetie?"

"Why are you wearing that dog collar?"

The question takes you by surprise as your eyes bulge out slightly, looking down at the dog collar strapped around your neck, the late night activities with Derpy floating back into your mind.

Speaking of Derpy, her face has gone completely red as she stares at you with equal amounts of shock and embarrassment. You stare right back as the two of you have a silent conversation with your eyes.

Eye translation:

'Why are you still with the collar?! You had to take it off, why didn't you?!'

'Uhh… sorry? We use it almost every night. I must have forgotten.'

'Just do something!'

You sit silently for a few moments before an idea pops into your head. You give Derpy a reassuring smile as you face Dinky.

"Sweetie, your dad uses a dog collar for a very simple reason… for you see, I am… a werewolf!"

Next to you, Derpy smacks her hooves across her face while Dinky's eyes sparkle with fascination and amazement.

"Really?!" Dinky exclaims, getting up on all four and inches closer to you.

You nod. "Oh yes, and your mom is a professional werewolf trainer!"

"Anon stop."

"And she trains me almost every night so I will not go out on a killing spree!"

"Cool!"

"For the love of Celestia Anon, please stop," you hear Derpy mumble under her breath. If her face was red before, it was positively glowing now.

You spare a glance towards Derpy. A smile slowly spreads across your face. You take a sip from your tea as you resume reading your newspaper.

Yep, just another lazy Saturday morning.
