Coming Out (age 15)

Rainbow had recently come out to her friends as gay and now she had to tell her parents. This wouldn't have normally made her nervous but, her father had arranged her a date with the son of someone who he worked with. The boys name was soarin and rainbow had already told him that she was a lesbian and couldn't date him. He's been really understanding and had promised not to say anything and let rainbow tell her parents herself.


Rainbow: *panicking* what if they won't accept me?!


Aj: *grabs rainbow by the shoulders* rainbow look at me!


Rainbow: *looks at her friend*


Aj: *sighs* listen sugar they will accept you. They love you no matter who you love.


Rainbow: but my dad set me up with a boy.


Aj: yeah because he didn't know how you truly felt. But we do. I do.


Rainbow blushed and looked away from applejack, the two had liked each other for years, but they were yet to start dating due to rainbow still being in the closet.


Pinkie: and once you tell your parents that you swing your bat the other way, you and aj can start dating and appledash will finally be real!


Sunset: pinkie why are you so fixated on this ship?


Pinkie: *shrugs* I just find it cute.


Rainbow: *takes a deep breath* ok I'm going home to tell them.


Rarity: you'll be fine darling.


Fluttershy: good luck dashie!


Rainbow: thanks guys.


*at rainbows house*


Rainbow walked into her house and saw her parents sat on the living room watching tv.


Rainbow: mum? Dad?


Windy whistles: oh dashie there you are! So tell us how was your date?


Bow hothoof: yeah how was soarin? Did he treat you properly?


Rainbow: I haven't been with soarin.


Windy whistles: *worridly* what why not?


Bow hothoof: *sternly* you didn't stand him up did you rainbow dash?


Rainbow: no, no nothing like that. I told soarin as soon you arranged the date that I couldn't go out with him. And he was very nice about it.


Windy whistles: so why couldn't you go out with him?


Rainbow took a deep breath as her parents looked at her with both concern and suspicion. She knew she had to get this over with quickly, so that it would be painless for everyone.


Rainbow: *signs nervously* mum dad the reason I can't date soarin or any boy is because I'm gay.


Bow hothoof: *shocked* what?


Rainbow: *more confident and now slightly frustrated* I'm gay, lesbian, I like girls.


*silence*


Rainbow watched her parents stare at her she had sweat running down her forehead, she was sure they were going to kick her out.


Rainbow: *begging* please say something.


Windy and bow didn't say anything. They just looked at the floor in silence.


Rainbow: *tearing up* I knew you wouldn't accept me!


She ran to her room and slammed the door. She laid down on her bed and cried into her pillow.


*half an hour later*


Windy whistles: *gently* rainbow sweetie? Can we come in?


Rainbow: *crying* go away!


Bow and Windy ignored this and went into rainbows room anyway. They we're shocked to see their daughter laying on her bed, with tears streaming down her face.


Windy whistles: *rubs rainbows back* oh baby what's wrong?


Rainbow: *angry* what do you think is wrong?! I told you I'm gay and you don't like or accept that!


Bow hothoof: rainbow what makes you think we don't like or accept that?


Rainbow: *crying again* well because when I told you, you said nothing. You couldn't even look at me.


Windy whistles: *pulls rainbow in for a hug* oh sweetheart that's just because it was a surprise, we don't care who you like as long, you're healthy and happy.


Rainbow: *sniffles* really?


Bow hothoof: *ruffles rainbows hair* really kiddo. I'll hurt anyone who hurts my baby, weather their a boy or a girl.


Rainbow: *chuckles* thanks dad.


The 3 of them shared a hug and then rainbow told them about her crush on applejack, and how they've wanted to date for a while now.


Windy whistles: so are you going to ask her out?


Rainbow: yeah I think I will.


Bow hothoof: *protectively* she better not hurt you in any way.


Rainbow: *rolls her eyes* dad you know applejack, you like her.


Bow hothoof: I know sweetie I'm only teasing.


Rainbow: *sighs in relief* ok


Bow hothoof: *quickly* but I'll still be keeping an eye on her!


Rainbow: *groans playfully*


Now that rainbow had told her parents how she truly felt, she now felt comfortable with being the person she knew she was.
