As I woke up I noticed my mane was tightly curled up, a clear and definite sign of happiness, as opposed to the straight mane I had when I was feeling sad and blue. My friends knew of it, just as they had learned to recognise several other signs like my Pinkie Sense.
I had placed my crown on the night stand the other day, before I went to bed. My memory of the night before is as clear as ever, I certainly had enjoyed it, both the ceremony and the party, not to mention the event that followed it.
Of course I knew where I am, I don’t forget these kinds of things, as exciting as I guess it could have been, not that I mind where I woke up this morning.
I noticed the glistring pair of panties and top I wore the night before. I like how they shimmer in the sparse night light of the room and how bouncy they make my jigglies and mound feel. Then I noticed how much the top made my nibbles stand out, it isn’t purely an effect of the light, they are excited, large and sensitive.
Exciting images of moments past flooding my memory as I slip my hooves to the side of the bed and raise to my hooves. Everything from the moment of the ceremony to the moment I finally did close my eyes and fell asleep. I guess I didn’t mind, it had after all been a very special day, and not just for me.
Once I stand up, I slip my panties to the floor and kick them up into my right hand, finding the panties dry and as fresh as they had been the moment I slipped them on, as if they had never been used, which I imagine they had not been before last night. I pick up a pair of fresh pink panties Rarity had crafter for me earlier and slipped them on.
I pull the top up over my head and allow it to fall into the pile of clothes previously made up by the panties and pick up the top matching the pink panties and slip it down over my chest. Now I gave both the panties and the top a tentative tug in order to ascertain them to be on properly. Finally, I step into the skirt and walk to the door.
Now fully dressed up I was ready to approach the door, thus walked the final steps, opened and left the room before I closed the door behind me. Apparently my hair refused to straighten out in the least, not that I mind, I am used to my mane in curls since the day of my first party when Rainbow Dash performed her first Rainboom. I rather dreaded the moments of a fully straight mane and what it represented.
On my way to the dining hall, I walked past Breezer, who is back to his Pony form, once more. I could clearly see a smile plastered all over his face as he closed the door behind himself, before he turned towards the direction of the dining hall too, slowly walking.
“Good morning!” I exclaimed as I passed him.
“Good morning!” he responded, continuing on his way to the hall.
“Yesterday was a blast!” I pointed out as I continued on my way.
“Yes, it certainly was!” he responded as I left him behind to his own, personal thoughts as he continued on his way.
“Good morning!” I greeted Constellation as I came up beside her.
“Good morning!” she responded.
She was back into her Pony form as well, the Unicorn she had been since the first time I saw her.
“The ceremony went just right!” I added as I walked.
“Certainly. I am most pleased. I just have to get used to all the changes here. To see you as Queen is one of the minor changes, as delightful as it is to have a fully functional hive to be a part of. We are social creatures, just like you, even if I guess it may be more pronounced in your case. You see, I am pregnant, expecting your and Breezers Foal within about eleven months. The same goes for all my fellow Mares of the Hive!” she revealed.
“It certainly is true, I do thrive on being the centre of attention. Pregnant, I guess that is promising. We’ll see what the result is in about a year, once they are all on their hooves. Then you can enjoy guessing what traits is from which parent. From what I gathered, I hope we get at least one colt, we need at least one prospective Prince for the hive!” I responded.
Naturally, I knew what I had chosen to take part of. Not just because they had explained most of it, but I have the tendency towards predicting the outcome of certain things well before it came to pass. I didn’t even need to predict this line of event, it was out in the clear even before I was told.
“These foals are our future. This is a great step towards securing our still weak hive. yes, I do look forwards to seeing the foals and trace their parentage lines. Sometimes, there are special reasons behind one of us to become one type or the other, maybe I have more in common with Twilight Sparkle then most Changelings would be comfortable in knowing!” she pointed out.
“Yes, the foals are the future, without them, we would merely wither away and starve to death since we couldn’t care for ourselves at the end. Not a very promising prospect. I have a special love for the foals, though, they are so curious and full of life. They are ready to enjoy life and laugh at anything silly most of us adults doesn’t even notice!” I put forth.
“There is of course another linage to trace in your foals, as a Queen, your subjects will carry your foals in order to increase our numbers without burdening you with either the physical challenges of carrying the term and giving birth, as well as the care for the foals. This is a great honour for each of the mares who are selected to carry your Royal foals, to us. These foals will carry resemblance with the mare giving birth as well, Still, they are all your foals first and foremost!” she put forth.
“Good thing I don’t need to understand the magic behind this. Yet, it is convenient to have an entire litter of foals next year. I take it one of the mare subjects will feel honoured for caring for all my foals. Since I do have other duties to attend to, it is very convenient that the mares carry this burden for me, even if I think I I’ll choose to carry a foal myself at one point in the future. Well, at least once or twice, but I do have more than enough time to plan ahead on this matter. Just not on an empty stomach!” I pondered.
“As to the burden of the magic, I assure you, you can rely on me and Twilight Sparkle to handle these matters. She could be an invaluable asset to us in that respect. I dare say, you are bound to be the most popular of Queens in history. Not just because all of Ponyville love you, but your hive and Ponies well beyond the borders of both hive and village. It is your privilege to choose if and when you desire to take up the burden of carrying a foal of your own, you are our Queen, how could we question or challenging your choices? You certainly do have the time, and there are certain advantages of this choice, if and when you choose to go for it. That is why we are heading towards the dining hall, breakfast. it may be one of the less known details about us, but we do need to consume food in the same way as Ponies, we merely have this additional strain to feed off of Ponies love, which is inconvenient to us, as unavoidable as it may be. As our Queen, we will have to inform you of these things and explain as much as required!” she continued.
“Twilly’s understanding and abilities in Magic has proven an advantage on more occasions than the average Pony care to remember, even if she may have made a few mistakes on the way. She loves to learn magic, even from unexpected sources, I know she will revel in the knowledge you have on this subject. As my friend, she is bound to use it in our service as well. In time, I could find some Pony to stand in for me, if and when needed, at least for a short period of time. That would be the perfect opportunity. We all need a good breakfast!” I pondered.
