Stripetail sat down in his chair, lost in thought. His mind was troubled, again, by the transformation of Littlefoot and Ali from young Longnecks to adults... they had confessed it what they had been doing the night before. This had come as no surprise to him, but he had to have a long talk with Littlefoot about what being an male adult really meant, including that nice little talk about the proverbial' " Birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees.." He had Snowpaw give the female version of the talk to Ali. Both longnecks were (as you might expect) shocked and grossed out at the "talks". To top that off, they had to explain as best they could to Littlefoot's grandparent's and Ali's mother, who luckily didn't blame them for this occurance. They had not mentioned what Ali and Littlefoot had been doing, but the looks the Adults had given them gave the sense that they knew, but would niot saything about it..
