[The video starts up in her room and she appears quite unhappy, even nervous. An opened letter can be seen next to her.]

I... I need to come clean about something.

I..

I'm...

[She takes a deep breath before continuing.]

I'm attracted to mares and I'm dating Kreutzer.

[Even after dropping that bomb, it doesn't ease her nervousness. This was a big step for her. Sure, there was that post Hayate made a while back, but she wasn't ready to come out then. Heck, she wasn't completely ready to come out now, but she felt she needed to. Most likely because of the letter that's sitting on her bed.]

We've been together since the Gala, and even before then, we met during that incident at Hearts & Hooves day.

[Her ears droop.]

Kreutzer, I'm sorry I haven't been fair to you. I know I wanted us to go slow and keep our relationship quiet for a while, but I've been selfish.

[Part of her knew this won't be backlash, but she couldn't help but fear there will be.]

Comments

[shyformerassistant]

Yes, I did. Mostly to see if they were the same as back home.

[She frowns.]

Not really. If anything, they asked the same questions they usually do whenever I get letters from them.

"When will you grow up and come back home?"
"Have you married a stallion yet?"
"How long will it be before we get grandchildren?"

That kind of thing. They always were strict.

[ponykreutzer]

Mm...well, you at least made an effort, which matters more than the results. I'm still proud of you, Coco.

[shyformerassistant]

At least. I just hope I didn't make things harder for the other me that's native here.

[She just smiles since she's been saying "thank you" a lot so far.]

[ponykreutzer]

If she's half the mare you are, then she'll be fine.

(It's funny because counterparts.)

If you still need to calm your nerves, I can make us some tea.

[shyformerassistant]

I hope so.

[Yep. Funny how that works.]

Tea sounds good to me.
