Authors note: It is never easy when a character has to come out to their parents...such is the case with Zipp Storm coming out to her mother and of course her sister. It is a big step and just so happens to be part 1 in what I hope to be one of those series. Zipp's journey is also going to tie into another pony and so forth. Anyway at best this will have three or so chapters in the least so a light enough read. If however you are against such content you don't need to read further and please avoid flaming or attacking me in person, it just isn't polite. Thank you for taking the time to read this oh and please no ship wars or oh this character isn't this sexuality, this is merely my interpretation as is the case with everyone who writes on here. Sadly MLP has only gave way to some character's sexuality like say how Overwatch does its thing.

My Little Pony: Coming out tales

Part One

CH.1: Zipp's truth

Zipp Storm was the older daughter of Queen Haven and older sister to Pipp Petal. Zipp was the shortened version of Zephyrina however she preferred the shortened version of Zipp. She was currently visiting her mother along with her sister from where they currently lived in Maretime Bay. Her room remained untouched and she trotted over to her large mirror.

"This is it, today is the day...the day that you finally come out to your mother. How nervous are you? So nervous you are talking to yourself? Yeah, this takes me back."

Zipp had often done this each and every time she had go through the routine of having a harness or those strings on her as she looked to be flying but actually wasn't.

Zipp looked at her image in the mirror from the color of her hair to the way that her wings were set back against her. Her cyan colored eyes looked alert but also a bit weighed down and that might have to do with the fact that she hadn't slept much before making the trip here with Pipp.

True they had actual magic now which allowed them to make quick work of the journey, but, the thought of speaking her truth...it terrified her. How would her mother react? How would Pipp react? Oh what would happen if word got out to all of Zephyr Heights?

"Calm down, calm...easy in and easy out. You got this. All you are doing is revealing the side of you that up till now nopony was aware of."

She turned away from the mirror as she looked around at her motivational posters she had her up on her wall. It is hard to believe her mother hadn't changed up the room. One poster in particular was of this rainbow mane Pegasi...something about her spoke volumes to her. Apart from a select few none had ever set hoof inside of her room.

Zipp valued her privacy which often meant keeping others at hoof length. She didn't mean to do this but ever since...well...point being she valued her privacy.

"If I can somehow convince my mirror image that this is going to be ok, well, it should be translated to my actual self. Motivation thy name is respect, so, respect myself, respect my truth...respect what is to come."

Zipp once more turned to the mirror feeling like if she could not come out to herself, her mirror reflection, coming out to an audience of family might be near impossible.

Rolling her neck she stares at her image and ignores the bags under her eyes. "My name is Zipp Storm...and...I like girls. Ok...that wasn't so hard. My name is Zipp Storm...and...well...shoot I had it there for like a second."

Truth is she had liked girls for a while now. It wasn't common knowledge and perhaps some part of her hid it because of how everypony would react. In the past, like, way past there had been those who had been open about who they loved or liked and nopony did much about it. There should be no need to be ashamed or put down for what one feels, for what one believes they are. Even so when it came to parents there was always going to be this up and down.

Zipp sits on her haunches and tries to think of some way she can make this easier on herself. However no matter how she went about it...public speaking just wasn't here thing. Zipp was fine on her own but in a group she had trouble putting herself out there. Pipp had it much easier because that is just how she went about things. Her level of confidence was through the roof and she could post about anything and nopony would give her much head shake or neighs. Maybe she could get advice from Pipp prior to talking to both her and mom.

"Yes that is what I am going to do. I sure hope she isn't recording one of her videos. I would hate to interrupt her." Zipp looks back at her mirror and with this newfound truth of hers, or rather, her open acceptance of it she was ready to tackle the next thing...public speaking.
