Instead of humans watching ponies, ponies watching humans!

The pony TV show, My Little Brony, is adored by little fillies and colts everywhere, and even some mares and stallions! Ponies are crazy over it, collecting posters, magazine articles, action figures and models.

'"My Little Brony, skinny and bony!"'

Golden Glimmer, a mega Brony fan, has a hoofball-mad brother, Gold Medallion. He thinks MLB is babyish, but will his hero change his mind, and help him to become a hero, too?

My Little Brony Skinny and Bony!

Terrence pushed through the groups of people complaining about Forest Grove, the Prime Minister.

‘If I was the Prime Minister everything would be perfect and people would love me and I would have candy rain and I’d be totally amazing with no haters!” Terrence had herd one Pegasus happily say to her friend.

He couldn’t stand people who thought they were better than Grove. Forest Grove tried and was quite good; he just made lots of mistakes.

Each day after work, people gathered around the House of Parliament in groups to chat about Grove’s mistakes.

“Outta the way!” Terrence elbowed ponies out of his way all the time just to get home.

“TV SET BY PONYASONIC!” shouted a mare over a loud speaker next to the Gadget shop. Terrence’s daughter, a big fan of the My Little Brony TV series wanted a new TV as their old TV had broken when Terrence’s son, Gold Medallion, had played inside football. You can probably guess what happened…

“Honey, I’m home!” Terrence shouted to Gold Glow, his wife. “Oh, and, Golden Glimmer, I have a new TV set and some Brony TV stickers!” he added.

"Dad!" Squealed Golden Glimmer, excitedly rushing towards him. Terrence braced himself as the filly crashed into him laughing. She then stepped back and giggled. Terrence grinned as he put the TV packaging box and sticker pad down on the floor. Golden Glimmer opened it carefully as if it were the most precious thing in the world. She then opened the sticker pad and took a sticker of Dave the Crazy Journalist and stickered it to the TV.

"We've got to share this TV with you, you know!" Terrence said, hiding his annoyance. What if Court Briefcase saw?

Golden Glimmer laughed. "No ya don't. We gotcha a TV, for you and everypony else in this family. This TV is mine!" She started adding stickers of Ralph the Gardener and Melodia the Violinist. Terrence silently sighed a sigh of relief.

Golden Glimmer then dashed upstairs, but collided with Golden Medallion.

"Watch it, Glimmer!" He snapped, wearing his hoofball top and carrying a hoofball. He then saw the TV in his sister's hooves, covered in Brony Stickers. "You're too old for that! My Little Brony, skinny and bony!" He grinned and dodged past her.

Glimmer stared down at him, her eyes slightly red. Why couldn't she be a fan? Just because she was a bit old for it, didn't mean she could still like it!

Fall from Glory

Gold Medallion dashed into the living room and switched on the family TV, set up the day before by his dad. He switched it on and surfed through the channels until he found a hoofball match. Ponyville vs Manehattan! Excitement whizzed around him. Hoofball was his life, and her was a match with Ponyville in it! He looked outside, through the window, at the streets of Ponyville. Bushes were covered in lots of little flowers, like muffins sprinkled with sugar. Candyfloss clouds floated across the sky, leaving small trails.

After watching the match, replays, highlights and interviews, Gold Medallion lay back on the squidgy sofa, with plump, tasseled cushions. He thought about Safe Goal's saves, and Taillenio's hat trick, but it was the interview with their manager that really stuck in his mind. After all the 'how do you think you did?' and 'you must be so happy you won!' questions, the interviewer, as always, asked if there was anything else to say. But, instead of 'keep trying' and 'never give up' inspirational quotes , the manager said something different. He said:

I have always been a big fan of Hoofball. I believed in myself and went through hard times when, believe it or not, it went out of fashion and I was bullied. I didn't stop liking it. I loved it, and kept loving it, and nopony should get bullied for what they like. I am a big fan of My Little Brony, even though it is meant for tiny foals. To other fans out there, no matter what anyone else says, keep liking it if you like it. Keep being you. And, other people, except the fans. Be a better person.

Gold Medallion thought about him teasing Golden Glimmer. He felt sorry, but how could he ever say sorry? To her?

Sorry.

Gold medallion sighed, holding the 'Sorry' card in his hoof as he trotted into Golden Glimmer's room.

He tried to speak, but his voice wouldn't start. His mouth was dry.

"I...I'...m...I'm..." He spluttered and stuttered.  "I am sorry for teasing you." He finally spoke the words, and handed her the card.

"Also, I watched a video, of My Little Brony, and I think I am a fan!" He grinned, not at all embarrassed.

"You're forgiven. Thanks." Smiled Golden Glimmer, as she took the card and opened it. There were little humans working and speaking, planting flowers and baking cakes drawn in felt tip pens, and glitter glue flowers made a border for the bubble writing letters:

Sorry

Then, Golden Glimmer reached forward to hug him.

"Ewwwww!" Squealed Gold Medallion, hopping out of the way. The both started laughing loudly, falling about all over the place.

Epilogue: A Happy Ending

Many years later, Golden Medallion returned home from the Ponyville Hoofball Stadium. He had been interviewed, by a TV reporter. He had remembered years ago when he had heard the now-retired Ponyville Hoofball manager speak about never giving up on your dreams, and about accepting ponies, no matter what they like. He remembered apologising to his sister. He remembered how she had continued to be a 'My Little Brony' fan, even though he had teased her.

"When I was a little foal..."

He told the story, and the interviewers looked delighted, and not just because they'd interviewed a famous Hoofballer.

Now, you may be wondering what Golden Glimmer became when she was older. She became a voice actor for the show 'My Little Brony', which she was still a fan of. She had even introduced her brother, who had became a fan.
