Author's Note

If it isn't obvious from the title of this chapter, it's time for "The talk". Chryssie doesn't hold back, either. Twilight gets quite a detailed explanation. If this bothers you, feel free to skip this chapter.

Of birds and bees

It's been a couple of weeks since Twilight and her friends graduated hunter school. Whenever they go on hunts, I have learned to expect a small feast. Yesterday, they brought home a grizzly bear, something I'd never expected to eat. Tasted pretty good, all things considered. That, and it's a bear... I mean, if that's not an impressive kill to bring home at seven years old, I don't know what is.

Today, Twilight would learning something else. She entered my room at a little past seventeen hundred saying something was wrong. First question I asked was what was going on. She said her butt was itchy, and the itch wouldn't go away. Must be said, that's the weirdest way to start this conversation I've ever heard. Anyway, I pointed out a few things for her to try, but she claimed to have already tried them all. I then told her to sit down beside me, mentally preparing myself the whole time. I'm no stranger to this conversation, I've had it with countless drones. The conversation in question? Explaining sex. Yes, other drones can have sex, though it's only for pleasure between drones. Only queens such as myself can actually get pregnant. The tricky part? Twilight's not a drone and I don't know if a drone can get a pony pregnant.

"I'm going to be ok, right?" Twilight asked. I could taste the pure fear coming off of her... and I hated it.

"You're going to be fine, Twilight," I assured, "What you're experiencing is perfectly normal".

"It... it is?" Twilight asked, the fear quickly subsiding.

"You're getting older, and your body is getting ready for certain things," I explained.

"Like what?" Twilight asked, "What am I getting ready for?"

"There's something in life drones experience every now and again called sex," I explained, "It's quite the feel good sensation. In fact, it's the best you'll ever get to know".

"How does that involve my butt?" Twilight asked.

"It CAN, if you're into that," I explained with a slight chuckle, "But what it involves mostly is a part of you called a vagina. It's that hole just below your butt".

"So that's what that's for," Twilight said, "But wait, why does it itch?"

"Because you're going into heat," I explained, "It's supposed to drive you insane until you satisfy it with a male's sexual organ known as a penis. You can satisfy it with another female, but it's not very easy".

"I see," Twilight said, "So, they're different, then. But... how different? What does a penis look like, exactly?"

This is about to get slightly awkward. Instead of trying to explain it, I simply turned myself into a stallion.

"Why'd you turn into a pony?" Twilight asked.

"Changelings can't transform into another changeling," I explained, "But, the concept is the same with any species, so it won't matter any".

Twilight simply nodded, as if quietly prompting me to continue.

"This here is like something you've undoubtedly seen before," I said, pointing between my legs, "This is known as a sheath, and it keeps the penis hidden until needed. A changeling's is more scaly, but it's the same thing".

"But, why hide it?" Twilight asked.

"It can be uncomfortable to try and move around with it out," I explained.

"Oh, ok," Twilight said.

"If you ever want to get it to come out, gently caress it for a few seconds," I explained before demonstrating, "And, that's what a penis looks like unsheathed".

"What do you do with it, now?" Twilight asked, tilting her head slightly.

Oh the curiosity of the young...

"Well, when two drones are consenting, the female will turn her back to the male and spread her hind legs a little bit. This ensures stability for the female and easier access for the male," I explained, "The male, in turn, raises himself up on his back hooves and places his front hooves on the females flanks, then moves forward and positions himself almost a full body length above the female. When he's in position, he then thrusts his hindquarters forward, inserting his penis into the females vagina. How gently and hard he does this is up to the female".

"So, that would go in here, then?" Twilight asked, pointing first to my exposed penis and then turning and pointing to her vagina.

"Exactly," I said, "After penetration, the two will often assume another position assuming there is enough stability to do so safely. After both are satisfied in their positioning, the male will continue to thrust his hindquarters back and forth. Sounds like a simple thing, but it's quite pleasurable, and even pretty fun depending on your level of kinkiness".

"Kinkiness?" Twilight asked.

"What you prefer to do to get as much pleasure as possible," I explain.

"Oh, alright," Twilight said, "So... how long does it last?"

"That depends on the males endurance," I explained, "The more endurance he has, the longer it'll take him to excrete a sticky substance known as semen. Once that comes out, sex is over".

And that was it... well, it should have been. Twilight seemed to be going over everything in her head for a couple minutes before looking up and asking the one question I've never been asked in this conversation before.

"Will you show me?" She asked.

She broke me with that. My eye started twitching and everything... it was so awkward. How does one respond to a kid asking them that? After coming back to the world of the living, I explained her why I couldn't. First off, I can't take on a small enough body. That, and it's not ok for adults to bed children (Yes, we have such morals). If she wanted to find and ask a male drone in her age group, then fine (I honestly hope they can't get her pregnant), but the limit is five years older. That seemed to satisfy her... which I am eternally grateful for.

I am Chrysalis, and I am... unsettled.
