“What do you mean Tirek is considering being reformed?” I asked the purple alicorn sitting on the throne in front of me…
Twilight Sparkle nods, “That’s exactly what I mean! It seems Cozy’s act of caring the other day really made him reconsider a lot of things…”
I frown, “Wow!”
She nods, “Yes! But that wasn’t the only thing I wanted to speak with you about…”
My eyes widen, “Oh?”
“Yes!” She says before nervously glancing around the empty throne room. She leans closer to me and says in a lower volume. “Uh, how do you know if um, you’re you know, gay?”
I frown with an astounded look in my now very open eyes, “Uh, well it’s one of those things inside you, you know? I mean, if you’re attracted to other mares, don’t you think you’d know that?”
She frowns, “I don’t know? Maybe?”
I eye the princess very carefully now, “Why are you asking me this?”
Her eyes widen, “Well uh, that is to say, I uh…”
I cut her off, “Do you think you’re gay?”
Her mouth goes agape as she quickly responds, “N-no! I like stallions! That is uh, I think?”
I frown at this, “Twilight… Have you ever had sex before?”
“What? Yes! Of course, I’ve had sex! I’ve had plenty of sex! All kinds of sex! Why would you ask that?” She quickly retorts before grinning widely at me…
I frown, “Well, you seem pretty uncertain about who you’re attracted to?”
She sighs and stares down before adjusting her gaze back up to me, “Crystal, I think I’m bisexual?”
“You weren’t bisexual before?”
She frowns and widens her eyes again, “What? No! I mean, I probably was? Why does everypony always say that?”
I stare at the other mare intently, “Well, you just seem like, that type, you know?”
She frowns, “What do you mean, that type?”
I widen my eyes again, “I’m just saying, it looks like the door swings both ways here!”
The alicorn is silent for a moment… “I see…”
I nod, “Well, right! So, everypony kinda assumes this about you and now you’re telling me that it’s probably true?”
She sighs from her nose, “Well, if everypony already thinks that about me…”
I nod, “Right! Then it’s no harm and no foul! You’ll have a marefriend in no time!”
“Or a stallionfriend!”
I nod again, “Or a stallionfriend with a huge penis!”
Her eyes widen, “Crystal!”
“Or it could be an average penis? I don’t know what you like you know, when you’re doing that…”
She silently frowns at me for a moment…
“You have done that before, yes?”
Her eyes widen, “Oh yes! Of course! Lots of times!”
I eye her carefully again, “Can I go now?”
<*****>
I trot out the throne room where a curly maned pink pegasus filly sudden turns her neck left towards me in the blue stone hallway, “Oh, golly mom! What was that about?”
I eye her carefully, “I’ll tell you when you’re older…”
She stares up at me, “Is Twilight having some kind of sexual problem?”
At that point, I can’t contain it anymore and I’m squinting while desperately trying to suppress a smile on my face in futility, “Well, uh, nothing she shouldn’t be able to figure out in good time!”
Her eyes widen, “Oh, golly! Is she gay!”
I eye this pegasus foal intently as she stares up at me with her wide brown eyes, “Well, bisexual, she thinks?”
She frowns, “You know, there’s really only one way to find out, right?”
I nod, “Yes, and we’ll talk about that when you’re older!”
“You mean the sex talk?”
“U-um, yeah that!”
And then, my foal said something that quickly and suddenly made me feel at ease, “So um, what’s for breakfast mom?”
I smile, “Well, how about oranges before we take a morning stroll around the park, honey?”
I she smiles up at me, “Oh, golly gee mom! That sure sounds swell!”
<*****>
The magenta unicorn widens her blue eyes to me from across the table, “Why didn’t you tell me Twilight Sparkle was bi?”
“She just told me today and you literally just got home!”
She nods, “Right! But you couldn’t call me?”
I frown, “I didn’t think it was that important?”
Starlight sighs, “Well okay, granted, you probably didn’t realize this, but Twilight has been talking to me now!”
My eyes widen, “Talking to you now? About what?”
She frowns, “About being gay!”
My eyes widen, “Why does everypony keep whispering that?”
“Well um, homosexual!”
I nod, “You know what? I was an evil changeling queen bent on Equestrian domination for eons! I’m sure I can be a homosexual!” and suddenly get up from the chair to trot to the backdoor where I open it to the right with my mouth and trot into our yard. I look up at the neighborhood houses and shout at the top of my lungs, “Everypony! We’re lesbians! We’re being all gay in here and Twilight Sparkle is probably bisexual!” before trotting back into the kitchen as the unicorn on the other side of the table stares at me in wide-eyed bewilderment. I smile. “See? Nopony cares!”
At that point, Starlight’s composure began to deteriorate and I saw her grinning and giggling before saying, “You know something? You’re right Crystal Heart! It’s not a big deal!”
I widen my eyes, “That’s what I’ve been trying to say this whole time! I even told Twilight that it’s okay to be bisexual! I mean, we’re all different!”
Suddenly, the door behind Starlight opens to reveal a small pink pegasus filly behind it who says, “What was that about being bisexual?”
I look at Cozy, “I was trying to show Starlight here that nopony cares that Twilight’s bisexual!”
She frowns, “Oh, golly! I don’t care either! I just came for juice!” before beginning to trot across the kitchen on my right from the table to the fridge.
Suddenly, there’s a purple flash of light in the room and Cozy jumps back and screams towards the fridge! “AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!”*
Then, we all see a smiling tall purple alicorn say, “Oh, hello sexually diverse ponies who happen to be my friends! What’s happening on this beautiful sexually diverse day?” before her right eye twitches slightly…
I stare at her carefully, “Twilight, is a mare currently trying to get between your hind flanks?”
Her eyes widen, “What? No! Why would you think that? Heh heh!” before she smiles nervously again…
Starlight nods, “You gotta admit, all this sex talk is pretty sudden and I’ve kinda been thinking the same thing!” her eyes widen as she leans forward. “Now come on! Who’s the ambitious pony! Who wants to be with Twilight Sparkle?”
She frowns, “Well, that is to say, nopony in particular? Uh, I kinda well, don’t think I should tell you?” and soon trails off with her wording…
I finally interject, “Come on! Who is it? Which mare dares to want you?”
She stares at Starlight intently…
Starlight, who quickly blurts out, “It’s Trixie, isn’t it?”
Twilight’s eyes widen, “Well uh, that is to say um, maybe?” before smiling widely and nervously…
I finally just say the obvious, “You know she’s only using you to get back at Starlight, right?”
Twilight stares at me, “What makes you say that?”
Starlight adds, “Well, she’s done it before?”
Twilight nods, “This is true! But she changed!”
I say, “So I’m told?”
Starlight says, “So I guess the real question is, how much do you trust Trixie?”
Twilight widens her eyes, “Well, she seemed pretty sincere?”
I ask, “Has she kissed you yet?”
Twilight’s eyes widen with a start! “What? No! Okay um, maybe?”
I smile and giggle, “Twilight had a lesbian kiss!”
Starlight giggles at Twilight as the purple alicorn’s cheeks grow puffy and red and she stammers, “She came onto me!”
I nod, “Well, right! So uh, how was your first kiss, anyway?”
Her eyes widen as her cheeks slowly begin to return to normal, “What? What makes you think I haven’t been kissed before?”
“Because you’re you!”
Starlight adds, “You gotta admit, Crystal makes a valid point!”
“I can kiss ponies!” Twilight defends herself!
Me and Starlight are both giggling as the purple alicorn suddenly appears very sullen and annoyed… “So uh, yeah! Trixie kinda suddenly kissed me the other day and said she liked me before leaving in a hurry…” she widens her eyes. “It’s like she didn’t want me to respond right away?”
Starlight says blankly, “That’s a good strategy!”
I look at her and nod, “I thought so too!”
Twilight stares at us, “What do you mean?”
I look at Twilight, “Well, think about it! You’re you, right? So you’d probably say no unless she gave you time to think about it!”
Starlight nods, “Well, that’s what I’d do!”
“I wouldn’t say no right off the bat!” Twilight says while defiantly stamping her left hoof.
Starlight says, “I’m still pretty sure you would!”
I add, “Yeah, me too!”
Twilight pouts and sighs, “So uh, yeah! Cat’s out of the bag now! Trixie came onto me and it’s probably not to get back at Starlight… More than likely… “
I look at Starlight, “Do we trust Trixie?”
She looks back at me, “Well, Twilight Sparkle is my friend! She would never do anything against me, no matter who she’s with!”
I nod, “This is likely true!”
Twilight finally says, “So you’re not mad?” to Starlight.
Starlight looks at Twilight, “Of course not! I moved on, just like Trixie is allowed to do! If she says she wants a relationship with you and you’re interested, I take no fault with either of you!”
Twilight visibly sighs, “Oh, good!” before straightening her neck as her shoulders finally relax and stares at us, “I was worried for a second there! Uh, look lesbians! I gotta run!” before disappearing in another blinding purple flash!
I look back at the magenta horse I fell in love with, “She just teleported to Trixie, didn’t she?”
Starlight eyes me carefully, “Totally!”
Cozy finally turns her neck back left towards me sitting at the table, “Can I get my juice now?”
I stare at her, “Well gee Cozy! Nopony is stopping you! Just remember you got that thing with Scootaloo in an hour!”
She smiles, “Yeah, I know!”
I stare at my foal intently, “Just uh, try not to embarrass Scootaloo with your spectacular and amazing scooter moves!”
“Oh, golly! Mom! I’ve never been on a scooter before in my life!”
I widen my eyes at her, “Um, of course! I’m sure you’ll do just fine sweetie!”
Starlight stares at me, “So uh, think we’re gonna hear more about Twilight and Trixie?”
I stare back at her, “Yeah, probably!”
