- >"Mum... Dad... I have something to tell you..."
- >Glimmer looks nervous, beads of sweat glisten on her neck, and her ponytail pulled back rather scraggily.
- >Twilight sets down Encyclopedia Equinnica (Volume LXXIV), marking her place with a hand gathered, spun, and woven woollen bookmark.
- >You bought it as an anniversary present, just after Glim's third birthday.
- >You already have next month's sorted - a dreamcatcher.
- >It's nothing grand, but you'd managed to get a primary from Philomena, Peewee, and Owlowiscious.
- >The heavy, oak-bound book creaks as she closes it.
- >You fold the corner of your page down, and drop the book of the side of the chair.
- >Twilight winces as the book bounces on the floorboards.
- "What's up, sweetie?"
- >Glim rocks on her hooves for a few seconds, hands clutching at her skirts, fisting large amounts of the fabric, and drawing it up her chest.
- >"You... You love me, right?"
- "Of course."
- >You pat your lap, and open your arms.
- >Just like when she was younger, she springs onto your lap, wraps her arms around you, and buries her face in your chest.
- >Unlike those snuggles of old, she starts sobbing into your shirt.
- >You lift your head and look at Twilight.
- >She looks as baffled as you.
- "Sweetie, what's going on?"
- >Her crying redoubles, and she starts blubbing.
- >You hug her, but flick your head.
- >Twilight's a great mother, but she's not going to be any help here.
- >She lifts an eyebrow, but you just nod, and hug your daughter tighter.
- >Eventually, she calms down, but you continue stroking her hair.
- >She sniffles.
- "C'mon sweetie, you've got it out now. What's up?"
- >She nuzzles your chest, and mumbles a 'nuh-uh'.
- >You don't say anything.
- >It won't take long for whate-
- >She draws a breath
- >"I think I'm gay."
- >What?
- >"But I didn't know if you'd still love me!"
- >What.
- "Sweetie... I married a horse. I honestly don't think I can judge you."
- >She blearily smiles at you, mascara smeared from tears.
- "No matter what you're into, it's none of my dam business."
- >You both snigger.
- >It never gets old.
