As a teenage mare, you love lots of things, music, food, sleep, and My Little Human. Yea, that show made for little colts. You decide you want to go to HumanCon this year, however, that means telling your parents. This can't be awkward… right?

My Little Human

*Dramatic music playing*

Based on a True Story

You take your seat at the dinner table with your mother across from you and your father to her right.

"How was school, honey?" Your mother asks as you all start eating your home-made lasagne.

"Boring as usual." You respond with a shrug while poking at your food with your fork.

"Is everything alright sweetie?" She asks with concern in her voice.

'Actually no, everything is not alright.' You think to yourself. You've secretly been a fan of that cartoon, My Little Human for the past year. It started airing a couple of years ago. When you first saw it, you scoffed, thinking it was just a show made for little colts. Why would a teenage mare like you enjoy something like that? Well, after you lost a bet and had to watch an entire episode, you secretly fell in love. You do not dare let anyone know about it, none the less all your friends at school. You'd be the laughing stock of the school if they ever caught wind of your little secret. After watching that one episode, which turned out to be your favorite episode, you pretended to hate it. But as soon as you came home and saw that nopony else was there, you immediately jumped at the chance to watch more. Well, four hours and twelve-episode later, you finally had to stop because of your parents' arrival back home from work. You have watched every single episode at least seven times over since that day. You love the fandom and all the amazing animations, stories, and fan-art it produces. Except for the clop...But other than that, you love every part of it. While browsing through Humanchan late one night, you saw that there was a HumanCon next weekend in your home city of Baltimare. Upon learning about this, you immediately jumped at the chance to attend. However, you remember that you would have to ask your parents first. You don't think disappearing to go to a convention for two days would be the best idea. That would mean breaking the news to them that you like... My Little Human.

"Honey? Honey, are you alright? You've been staring at your food for the past five minutes." Your mother voices, snapping you out of your daze.

"Hmm, oh yea yea." You respond, waving a hoof.

"Star, tell us what's wrong." Your father says with a soothing tone.

"Well..." You really don't want to do this. What if they think you're a weirdo? What if they kick you out? What if I can't watch the show anymore? Can they disown you? All of these thoughts race through your mind as you once again stare blankly at your plate of lasagne yet again.

"Star!" Your father nearly shouts.

"AH, FISH!" You say having no idea what he just said.

"Wha- nevermind, sweetie just tell us what's wrong." Your mother says while laying her hoof on top of yours and giving you a small smile.

"Well, I wanted to ask you guys something..." You say while seeming to sink into your chair.

"You can ask us." Your father says from her side also wearing a reassuring smile.

"Well... could I go to a convention?" You say while finding your cup of water suddenly very intriguing.

"That's it?" Your father says while seeming a little surprised. Your mother gives him a little wack on the foreleg.

"Well, we'll let you go considering how well you have been doing in school recently." Your mother says after a moment of thought. "When is it?" Your mother asks as she starts eating again.

"Next weekend." You say, hoping they don't ask the dreaded question.

"Alright, you can go." Your mother says after she swallows her food.

You let out a breath you didn't realize you were holding as you start to eat again.

"By the way, what's it about?" Your father asks while looking back up at you.

You instantly freeze in place with your food half-way to your mouth. "Umm..."

"This isn't something inappropriate is it?" Your mother asks with a raised eyebrow.

"NO- er, no it's not..." You nearly shout before sinking back into your seat.

"Well, what's it about?" Your father asks again.

"Umm... My Little Human." You say at a speed and volume that would put Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy to shame.

"What was that sweetie?" Your mother asks.

"My Little Human." You say again a little louder and slower while sinking into your seat further than you thought was previously possible.

"What?" She asks again.

"MY LITTLE HUMAN." You shout while quickly standing up and nearly flipping the table. You quickly sit back down after you realize what you just did. "Erm, it's about My Little Human." You say at a much more respectable volume.

"Umm, isn't that the show made for little colts?" Your father asks with a questioning tone and a raised eyebrow.

"Uh... yea." You respond while failing to meet your parents' eyes.

Everypony is silent for what feels like hours as your parents just look at you with a questioning gaze.

"Why would you like that?" Your mother asks this time finally breaking the tension.

"Well, the animation and story are good. The people who make it also made other shows I like, like Power Puff Mares." You say with little more confidence while waving a hoof.

"I'm just a little surprised you like that. You're a teenage mare watching something for little colts." Your father says with a visible look of surprise on his face.

"Well, it does have a big following of older mares actually." You respond which visibly surprises him even more.

"Really?" He asks with a still surprised tone.

"Yea, it was intended for little colts but it gained a huge following of older mares." You say as a matter of fact.

"Well, alright I guess. As long as it's ok with your mother as well, right?" He asks while looking over to her.

"I will admit, I didn't think you would be into that kind of stuff, but whatever makes you happy sweetie, so yes you can go." She finally says while nodding her head.

"YES!- oh um, thankyousosomuch!" You say quickly before running off to your room.

"She didn't even eat any of my lasagne..." Your mother says with a fake pouty face.

That HumanCon was the best weekend of your life. You got to meet all the voice actors and even got them to sign a poster you got from the vendor hall. You also got a hand-made plushie of your favorite human, Danny Devito! You love how funny he is and how funny his hair looks. You even got to see a preview of the new movie that is coming out. It's about a powerful human named Gandolf getting his staff stolen and having to follow the human that stole it through a portal that leads to... EQUESTRIA! The concept is pretty good and sounds exciting. The preview... not so much. You love the idea but from the small preview they showed, you didn't really know what to think about it. You're going to go see it anyway as soon as it comes out. You asked your parents if you can go back to HumanCon next year and they agreed. Farewell HumanCon, until we meet again.
