My friends screamed as my thorse began to fly, and I just laughed at their reaction. Although it was their first time on a thorse, I still wanted to play a tiny prank on them. Using the same mind link my thorse used with me, I told her to act tired so that I could execute my prank. Snow and Sparkle both told me I was being mean, but Icicle agreed to do it. As soon as I gave the signal, Icicle acted tired and my friends let out panicked screams. When I burst out laughing, my friends realized I had pranked them. They threatened to 'kill' me once we landed. I laughed wickedly and told them they could try, but if they succeeded, they would have to deal with my parents. My friends called me a bad witch and vowed to get their revenge.

We joked around for a while, and I ended up in front of my family's castle, which greatly surprised my friends. When they asked if I was royalty, I told them I wasn't, but that this was a family home inherited by my dad after his ancestor passed away. My friends relaxed a bit, and we knocked on the door. The servant opened it, and to my shock, it was Marie. Upon seeing her, I hugged her and said...

"Hello, Marie, fancy seeing you here, so far from the bayou you're accustomed to."

Marie chuckled and said,

"Hush now, sugar plum, the bayou is what you all call a 'dupe destination.' I actually work here in Enchantrios. Your mama wanted little old me to pretend to take care of the castle in the bayou, just to ease your innocent little mind into the world of magic. I was paid for it. And guess what? The boys are here too. You know, Derrick and Donald, the guys who rowed the boat around the bayou for you."

"Oh wow, were they in on the ruse, Marie, that my parents set up for me?"

"Yes, adidilydumptious, there the horse handlers and the yachtsmen."

My jaw dropped as Marie greeted us, served food, and mentioned that Dad and Uncle were away on business, while Mom was in the garden attending a moms' meeting. I expressed my need to talk to my mom, and Marie allowed us to proceed. My friends and I made our way to the garden, finding a circle of women sipping tea and conversing. Nearing them, I caught my friends muttering curses. Inquiring about their distress, they disclosed that the women with my mom were also their mothers. I suggested it was beneficial since we could broach the topic of intimacy as a group. My friends appeared apprehensive, but I reassured them about the importance of open-mindedness, reminding them that our mothers were once teenagers too. Although it's unsettling to consider that our parents had other partners before marriage, it's a part of life. My friends halted my speech, consenting to talk with their mothers. As we approached, my mom turned around, almost as if she had felt my presence.

When Mom turned around, I smiled and hugged her, and then I heard Rene's mom say,

"Rene Rochelle Kiskos what are you doing out of school  and why are you at becca's house"

I could sense my friend's anxiety when she was addressed by her full name. I placed a comforting hand on her shoulder and introduced myself to both Rene and Andromeda's mothers, explaining that their absence from school was due to me. I needed to discuss certain matters with my mother that were not suitable for a phone conversation, and I mentioned that they had accompanied me for support, as they too had questions about the subject I needed to address. Upon hearing this, my mother used the cordless phone to instruct Marie to prepare more tea and gumbo. After hanging up, she touched my face and asked...

"yes Mally honey what do you need to talk about"

"mom its embarrasing to say  and i dont know how to bring it up but its about intimacy "

My mom's eyes sparkled when I brought up the topic of intimacy, and she asked me why I needed to know about it. I twirled a long strand of blonde hair around my finger and told her about how she remembers my first two kisses during the summer break, and the gift of a red rose. I reminded her that she advised me to be open to new experiences and not to fear giving my heart to potential suitors Mom nodded and remained quiet as I continued. As I spoke, I noticed my friends and their mothers also listening in silence. I informed her that since school started, I had caught the attention of two more suitors, making it five in total. I shared that I had kissed a third but not the other two, although I wanted to. I talked about how these potential suitors had caught my eye, how I always saw attraction in their eyes when they met mine, and how they each helped me with every small problem I had, whether it was magical or helping me face Cousin Juniper. These small acts of kindness, along with the look in their eyes, had awakened a curiosity in me related to intimacy.

My mom squealed and inquired about the suitors. I bit my lip and confessed they were all princes. I recounted how I had kissed Firo Dragoon, the Dragon Prince; Judas Demoni, the Incubus Prince; and Tiberius Oceanic, the Mermaid Kingdom's Prince. I admitted I hadn't kissed Drago Bloodrich, the Vampire and Banshee Prince, nor Aaron Faedash, the Nature Fae Prince. Since meeting them, I explained, I've felt attracted only to these princes and no other boys who have approached me and how i had heard from a fellow classmate about  how these five being interested in courting me and also being a group of friends that were also as close as brothers would mean that they would want to be in a relationship together with me  in otherwords they would want to be in a polyamorous relationship but then i also said that this fellow classmate had also suggested how i could approach the forbidden five as they were known as, because of there eligibility of being the most handsome bachelors  of the school  and told me to ask one who i felt would ease me into the intimacy world as well as allow me to decide how or what i liked .

Then i told mom that because of me still remaining untouched i had no idea about what to do in order to understand the steps to take towards intimacy and if she could tell me about any experiences she had  with one or a group of guys  in her youth  mom bit her lip and said that  in her time she was a wild card and made many mistakes regarding decision she made  but one thing she was always careful with was intimacy and  dated around to get a feel for what she liked  mom explained that when it comes to intimacy making decisions regarding it is too much work and if things happen then to let them because when it comes to personal matters such as intimacy the best plan is no plan and when a man and woman both feel the eurges then there bodies automatically know what to do mom explained that since intimacy was such a private matter  that not only requires sharing of the bodies  but it also required joining of the hearts and souls and since i was intelligent  and wise beyond my years my heart and mind would decide itself on who to choose and if my heart had decided it was ready for such a step then it would  help let it happen ,
