Sparkler has a secret that she's hidden from her mother for many years, a secret that would destroy her if she ever found out. But, with the help of her... special friend, Sparkler decides that she can't lie to her mother anymore. So she sits her mother down and reveals her most shocking secret.

lol. that was funny, and kinad sad :rainbowlaugh::applejackconfused:

I love how you made it seem all dark with the cover photo and description, and I almost fell for it, until I saw the Everyone rating and Slice of Life tag. Well done.

OBVIOUSLY, Cherilee got it when she was.. hrm... I know! When she was drunk, and she doesn't remember actually getting it! Yeah, that's it!:pinkiegasp::pinkiehappy:

I kept thinking She`s a fillyfooler! That must be the secret! Also, this needs the OC tag. I liked this story. Short and sweet. Almost as sweet as muffins. Or bagels for that matter. I love both! My mother will never hate me! Oh, and I noticed that this has yet to be put in a group so I`m putting it in my group and one that I`m in. Epic Stories and Writer`s Group.


EDIT: When I started this story it wasn`t in any groups. Now it`s in many.

I was amused. Tags kindof ruined the suspense but it was still fun.

2871303 Tags? It just says slice-of-life? How does that ruin anything?

Oh man... I thought it was going to be one of those "I'm a changeling" stories... :derpytongue2:

Great One-shot :twilightsmile:
I enjoyed reading it a lot :pinkiehappy:

Maybe 'ruined' wasn't the right word. Slice of Life and Everyone meant nothing dark was going to happen and no one was going to end up dead, so my mind went to happier, muffinier places, I guess. I'm weird that way.

epic!!!!! beyond words!:moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache: five moustache out of five applejack:ajsmug::ajsmug::ajsmug::ajsmug::ajsmug:
really great job!
was listening to katy perry firework while reading!

I first thought this would be a senseless fic about Derpy dissowning Sparkler or something, but this.... :raritystarry: Well done sir... Well done.

That was super cute.

Nice bait and switch or should I say 'bake' and switch. :pinkiehappy:

Well I was thrown off completely.

HA! This is pretty good, had me thinking that this a story about a very serious subject, and then it's all about muffins that me laugh. Quite the surprise. Anyhow, good work man, keep up the good work.:derpytongue2:

That was a nice one. The horror of Sparkler not liking muffins...

WELP... Sure didn't see that coming.

O_o That was unexpected:twilightoops:

This was.... surprisingly deep. It was a simple idea of not liking muffins, but it translated quite well into how a mother and daughter have been connecting over their lives. I like the idea that Derpy was actually putting too much importance in the muffins themselves, and didn't see the ideas and implications behind Sparkler being willing to eat them.

EXPAND THIS! I NEED MOAR!!!

Yeah, that was brilliant.

Food preferences are the seriousest of business.

Cue Qordath in 3... 2...

Oh, wait, nevermind.

Okay, after reading, I'm going to post a real comment.

Not the best formatting in the world, not the best characterization, I absolutely hated Rainbow Bright's name, and I think you sent this out without enough thought into pre-reading. I'm not truly a fan of light hearted stories like this.

That said, your use of parallel metaphors was done very well. In fact, it really portrayed the whole "coming out" fiasco a bit better than the actual coming out fiasco. You've made point of all emotions that run through, all inconsistencies and all thoughts from both sides. A good story like this makes people think and connect without having a cliched scene shoved down their throats. In the end, what you did worked out for you. The moral behind your story, while thinly veiled, speaks volumes as well, even behind a comedy.

3.5/5 overall. Take that as a compliment. I am extremely critical when it comes to number ratings.

I was sort of expecting it to end with: "Oh, yeah, by the way," began Sparkler as she took Rainbow Bright and molested her mouth. "I'm gay, too."

Very cute and well thought out, I liked that. Five mustaches! :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

I can honestly say I did not see that coming

Shouldn't this have a comedy tag?
Also, it showed Cheerilee get her cutie mark in one of the episodes...
But, bravo sir, for yet another great story.

I was expecting something completely different while I was reading, but the revelation that Sparkler's secret was not loving muffins made me laugh harder than I have all week. Job well done, sir.

No sudden explosions, and deep muffin relationship.
...
EH?

I don't think that was a lie, and I definitely don't think that she didn't tell you because she didn't rust you.

I sure hope Sparkler doesn't rust Derpy! That sounds unpleasant!

"I love you, my little... er... bagel."

My little bagel, my little bagel
Ah, ah, ah, ah...

Great work. This story was surprisingly deep for what it was, and the bait and switch was perfect.:twilightsmile:

This was brilliant... but yeah, it should have the comedy tag... :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

Nice, though the reveal came a bit soon, or at least it felt like that. Good story all around though.

I... im speechless... I was expecting something like sparkler was dating a stallion her mother's age or that she was a fillyfooler when I read the description... but simply hating muffins? that was the Spanish inquisition; I did NOT expect it... great story nonetheless... tbh I half expected sparkler to mention offhoofedly that other than getting bagels from rainbow bright she was dating her :rainbowlaugh:

Hmmmm... Good story... I liked it!!! It was good for a 1 shot!!! Also.... More killer blossom!!!!

I liked this story, unfortunately not enough to give a thumbs up. While the plot (what little of it there was) and the twist ending were fantastic, this story makes basically no sense to those who aren't already fans of the show. A flashback would fix that problem easily, but ruin the tone you are going for. Overall 4/5.

Re-read this, but assume 'muffin' and 'bagel' are euphemisms. Kinda brings new meaning to family night, huh?

Eeyup, I wasn't expecting muffins this time around. Or bagels. :rainbowlaugh:
Well played, pardner. :ajsmug:

:unsuresweetie::Uh... Ms. Cheerilee? You're acting kind of strange. I mean, we're just mowing your lawn and pulling weeds. Mowing, pulling. I don't know what warrants the evil laugh or frightening imagery.

Sparkler doesn't like muffins?!
Oh gawd, how horrifying!
:fluttercry::fluttercry::pinkiesad2::raritycry::raritydespair::trollestia:

The lack of a "Dark" or a "Sad" tag confused me given the beginning, but now it makes sense. I have NO idea why I couldn't figure out the twist in advance :derpytongue2: Anyway, nice one-shot.

2871295 I thought the same thing, odd how it's always the worst thing to come to mind first, also tends to happen when you're running on 4 hours of sleep!

2873078 Hey, I fell asleep at 2:00 AM and woke up at 11:30 AM. That`s the perfect sleeping pattern, right? Kidding. Quite frankly I found it very obvious. Special friend, Rainbow Blitz staying with her, something incurable, not being accepted and many other things. I thought that it pretty much shouted "SPARKLER`S COMING OUT!" The muffin thing surprised me.


P.S. It`s not the worst thing to come to mind. Being gay isn`t bad. All people are equal. She could`ve murdered somepony or worse. Being gay isn`t bad, murder is. I must say that hating muffins is just terrible though.

2873135 I've done that a lot before mostly because sometimes my job schedule has me working until 1am to begin with!

2873181 Well, it`s summer and that`s my excuse to sleep in and stay up late. Too bad school starts up again in September, darn.

2873229 I know the feeling, never thought I'd say it but I do miss school, especially summer vacation! Enjoy them while it lasts!

Oh god, that was hilarious.
Actually I thought it was really cool that Twilight, who obviously thought that muffins were a trivial thing, really took Derpy's problem seriously. FRIENDSHIP! :twilightsmile:
