Pinkie, Celestia and 4 of her friends arrived at a school looking building. Pinkie said “This is our records building, this will be the best place to explain.” They arrive in a simple pink room, Pinkie said “First things first, how a basic hive works you have the drones which perform menial tasks, the infiltrators who collect love and the Queen who runs the hive, it is very basic as drones mainly take up military and hunting duties.”

Twilight asked curious “That seems very simple, how do you all reproduce?”

Pinkie said “The Queen lays eggs and then feeds them love until the hatch.”

Rainbow Dash was sleeping while Applejack was looking uncomfortable, Rarity asked “Do you think I should make some decorations for the room?” Pinkie ignored the comment.

Celestia asked “So what about you hive, what type of changelings do you have?

Pinkie replied “My hive have as you have seen the Rocketlings we will start with them, they have large egos and are generally good fliers, they also can be quite lazy sometimes, I’m wondering if I should have named the Rainbowlings instead.” She was staring at Rainbow who we sleeping on a chair.”

Celestia asked “So those are those types of changelings what about the others.”

Pinkie said “Well we have Mechlings, the Ghostlings and the Nightlings.”

Twilight asked excitedly “What do they do, I wonder if I could perform a few experiments?”

Pinkie sighed as she continued “Mechlings are engineers they design and build ships and other machinery, thus they have large bodies and their exoskeleton is very flexible allowing them to squeeze though tight gaps despite their large size, they love tinkering and working with tech, they are very anti-social unless you're talking about machinery or parties, they are my kin after all.” Celestia giggled slightly at the comment before composing herself.

Twilight said as she scribbled notes pulling out an inkwell from her saddlebags “I would like a detailed summary of the other 2 types please.”

Pinkie continued even she was very annoyed by Twilight’s note taking “Ghostlings don’t like company, they have the ability to phase through walls or just stay in a wall for indefinite amount of time, they won’t come out often unless they have a job or there’s a party going on. As for the Nightlings they contain several thestral traits which are evident in their wings mainly they take a bat-like shape and are faster than most lings other than rocketlings, they also have very good eyesight even in the darkest hours, they are the most fun oddly enough, they are always playing pranks and jokes on every other group of lings.”

Twilight was scribbling furiously, Pinkie asked noticing Applejack’s discomfort “Are you okay?”

Applejack said “Sugarcube, Ah’m sorry it’s just that this whole thing freaks me out, we were enemies one day and all friendly the next.”

Pinkie responded “We are not those same lings, still I understand you hesitation, how about I show you the farm area, that might put you at ease.”

Applejack smiled “Ah’d appreciate that sugarcube.” Just as Pinkie was walking along she facehooved for no reason. Applejack asked “Why did you facehoof?”

Pinkie said “Don’t worry about it, it won’t harm this Equestria.”

Applejack asked confused “This Equestria?”

Pinkie said “If I explain it you will be more confused then ever, trust me it won’t be a problem.”

Applejack said “Ah trust you, Ah wouldn’t be here if I wasn’t.”

Pinkie said “Just don’t tell Twilight, you know how she can be sometimes, she will want to study it and there are some things that shouldn’t be meddled with.” Applejack nodded. Pinkie shouted “Well know that the explanation is done we are heading to the farming area.”

Twilight asked exictedly “How you grow food down here? I would really like to know.”

Pinkie said “I will show you then” she then whispered to herself “Twilight is getting too into this, yet again she did try to explain the Pinkie sense so maybe this is normal.”

As they were walking Rarity asked “How much further, my hooves are killing me.”

Applejack said “Come on, Rarity it’s not that much further.”

Pinkie said “Well actually it is still quite far and Rarity has no interest in growing crops.” Two seconds later, two ghostling mares turned up. Pinkie said “You will take Rarity to the spa building, she could use the relaxation.”

Rarity said “Thanks Pinkie, it means a lot.” She followed the two ghostlings away .

Applejack asked “Why did you do that?”

Pinkie said “In all Honesty, I have a lot on my mind the upcoming meeting with the other queens which is still be set up over there” Pinkie pointed to what would be the largest building in the hive when it was completed, Pinkie continued “and I don’t want to hear Rarity’s design choices for the hive right now, I’m too stressed.”

Applejack said “Ah’m sorry sugarcube, Ah didn’t consider your feelings, Ah should have known you were stressed.”

Pinkie sighed as she glared at Twilight “You're not the one causing me grief, don’t worry about it.” Twilight ears perked up at Pinkie’s words. Pinkie said “Well let’s get going everypony we have a long trot ahead of us.”

Twilight looked at her quill and all her scribblings. Celestia looked at her as she sighed and put her notes in her saddlebags. Celestia asked concerned “Are you okay Twilight?”

Twilight asked looking at her notepad sadly “Princess am I being a bad friend? I am not exactly comfortable with all this, I’m taking notes mainly to keep from freaking out, I should be paying attention to Pinkie and helping her through this but it scares me.”

Celestia said smiling “I understand how hard it can be, I am not exactly comfortable with this either, a potential enemy has been living under my castle for months. We will get through this together, I’m here for you.” Twilight smiled slightly as Celestia wrapped one of her wings around her. They left to follow Pinkie.

Pinkie was smiling pointing out features of the hive like their party labs, their bakery and their jumping castle when a rocketling slammed into her side. Pinkie sighed as she turned around “Prism Rush, what are you doing here? I thought you were on toilet duty after the last incident.”

Prism Rush said “I finished the punishment 2 days ago and I am bored now.” Then her eyes widened as she shouted “Rainbow Dash, no way the fastest pegasus in Equestria is here!”

Rainbow Dash boasted “I’m the fastest flier in Equestria, nopony, griffin, dragon or ling is faster than me.” Pinkie had a slight chuckle at the statement.

Prism taunted “Oh yeah then why don’t you prove it on our course.”

Rainbow replied “Your on.”

Pinkie said “Well maybe that will keep them out of trouble.”

Twilight said sadly as they continued onto the underground farm “I’m sorry Pinkie, it’s just this whole thing is stressful.”

Pinkie replied in a equally remorseful tone “That’s alright Twilight, I should have paid more attention, this is very stressful for me but I should have noticed you were stressed too, I’m sorry too.” Pinker gave Twilight a light hug.

Pinkie panicked suddenly as she shouted “Dashie, I shouldn’t have let her leave with Prism.”

I just hope this chapter isn't too exposition heavy.
