Context: You live within the monster community as a bit of a rare sight - a human. But, you wanted your adopted children to be able to grow and thrive among their peers, so you bare the brunt of any anti-human sentiments. Some monsters are nice, of course, such as your son's teacher, Mr. Sylph, who's always happy to help. Tonight is parent-teacher conference night and one of your sons seems especially antsy about that. What could be bothering him?

Setting: Home/High School

[Scene opens in the kitchen of your home]

[You’re up early, per usual, getting breakfast ready]

[Pause!]

[SFX: Distant male groans of frustration]

[T] “We’re coming, Ma!”

[Your oldest son floats through the ceiling and plops into his chair]

[T] “Morning, Ma. Ma, ay, whoa, no, not the kiss- gahhh.”

[He grumbles as you kiss his forehead]

[T] “Man… you don’t do this to Dex or Kev, you know? I know they’re older and seniors and all, but how come you don’t give them embarrassing kisses?”

[Dex, your second-oldest son, takes his seat]

[D] “Because we’re both twice her height, dumbass. Er, sorry, I mean… Dumbass.”

[T] “At least I don’t have a massive snake ass!”

[D] “Hey, this thicc tail is what got me my prom date, thanks. No one is willing to go with the punk ghost boy, though?”

[Trevor pouts and you give Dex the mom look on its lowest setting. Dex stops mid-bite into his meal and sighs]

[Pause]

[D] “...Sorry, that was mean of me. Look, we can tackle this together, I think. Let’s hit up the mall after school, we’ll go to that Ghost Threads place, OK?”

[Pause]

[D] “Mom, you can’t just give us a gold sticker anymore when we resolve our issues responsibly, it’s a little silly… Yes, I still want one, gimme the shiny plllleaaseee.”

[He flicks his tongue out happily as you press it to his forehead]

[T] “And me?”

[You rip a sticker in half and then place the ghost of the sticker on his forehead]

[T] “Yesss, the trophy of triumph! Where’s Kev, by the way?”

[D] “Trying on different faces, probably. It’s parent-teacher conference night and that boy has got a record a mile long, hehe. I bet Mr. Sylph is going to be all “Young man, I expected better of you. You’re not living up to your full potential and are probably going to worry your poor mother! H-How…is your mother, by the way?”."

[SFX: Kev scrambling down the stairs and clapping a hand over Dex’s mouth]

[K] “SILENCE! Lest my knife find your throat in the dark, little brother…”

[Pause]

[K] “I am not in theater mode, I am just in… agitation mode. Whatever, I just want this day to be over with. I’m leaving early, bye.”

[With that, he sweeps out of the house and slams the front door on the way out]

[D] “...What a dramatic bitch, geeze.”

[T] “Be cool, Dex. C’mon, let’s get going. Love you, Mom!”

[D] “Love you! See you tonight!”

**[Scene transitions to the high school]*\*

[Time: Early Evening]

[You walk with your boys through the busy school, waving on occasion and saying hello to some of the other parents and teachers. A lot of eyes are on you and your boys]

[K] “Eugh, this is so tense… A whole monster school is staring at us.”

[Pause]

[K] “Mom, please don’t, you’re embarrassing us enough already!”

[Dex and Trevor stop dead in front of him]

[D] “Dude!”

[T] “What is wrong with you?!”

[Pause]

[D] “But Mom, he just…”

[T] “...Let it go, Dex. Let him stew in his own “being a dick to Mom” juices while Mr. Sylph tears into him.”

[S] “Kevin! I’ll see you now!”

[Your eldest son won’t look at you as you both go and sit before his teacher. Mr. Sylph smiles warmly but it wanes slightly as he seems to pick up on the mood]

[S] “Good evening, to you both. It’s nice to see you again, Miss. You, ah, look well.”

[Pause]

[He chuckles, running a hand through fine white hair]

[S] “I’m glad you think this dorky bowtie compliments my equally dork suspenders, hmhm. Right! Kevin… As you know from my calls, Kevin has been struggling a bit this year. His grades are holding steady but he’s had a lot of outbursts in class, a few fights which, honestly, are a bit difficult to manage with a Changeling.”

[K, muttering] “Half-Changeling.”

[S] “Sorry?”

[K] “I’m a fucking HALF-CHANGELING, OK?! And any time someone brings that up, I have to be reminded that I’m part human and everyone here HATES humans! And now, I have to be reminded further because my adopted Mom is ALSO HUMAN!”

[Pause…]

[His fury fades as he sees the look on your face]

[K] “W-Wait… Mom, I’m sorry, I-I just…”

[S, sternly but gently] “Please wait outside, Kevin.”

[Your son pauses but stands and shuffles from the room, quietly shutting the door behind him. Mr. Sylph sighs and hands you the tissue box]

[S] “I’m so sorry, Miss. I’ve seen students be cruel to their parents and vice versa, but it’s never easy… Is he in therapy?”

[Pause]

[S] “Good… Listen, it’s probably not my place, but the monster community does not all hate humans. Some make fun. Some do hate, but you’re a good woman who’s taken in monster children in need and raised them as their own. I remember when Dexter bit you and you had to go to the hospital, you never yelled at him. You assured him you forgave him, and you were even a courteous host when I came to bring you flowers.”

[Pause]

[S] “You’re a wonderful, beautiful, funny, kind person, Miss. When you had Mimzy, she was…well, pardon me, something of a heinous brat, hmhm. She gave you Hell, but she realized that her mother loved her pretty soon after she moved out and hit college, hm?”

[Pause]

[He laughs, blushing a little]

[S] “Haha, don’t apologize! I didn’t mind driving you to the university campus. I never mind helping you out with things, Miss, you’ve always had my back and I enjoy spending time with your sons while they think it’s safe enough to sass me, hmhm… You were the one that found me passed out in my backyard and gave up her bed for the night to help me rest until the monster-friendly doctor could get there.”

[...Pause?]

[He turns bright red]

[S] “O-Oh, the… the boys mentioned I ask about you… I, uh… OK, you know what? I don’t care anymore: I thought I had a crush but now I am absolutely sure that I am in love with you, and it’s insane, given our species difference and that I’ve taught all of your children and how inappropriate all of this could turn… Despite all of that, I’d really like to take you out to dinner and see where this goes.”

[Pause]

[He smiles and chuckles]

[S] “That easy, hm? Damnit, all of this time… Hmhm, you know what, I’m not going to look a gift pegasus in the mouth. You have my number, love, call me when you’re ready to set something up, OK?”

[Pause]

[You stand and extend a hand to shake his. He takes yours and kisses the back of his hand]

[S] “No, no handshake. I think, for you, a kiss to your hand. Mwah. Go on, Miss, and if Kevin gives you more backtalk, let me know. I’ll give him the worst test questions, hmhm. I kid… Or do I?”

[You share a laugh and exit the room. Your boys are waiting, apparently mid-game in the game of “try and slingshot things with Dex’s tail”]

[Pause]

[They straighten as you approach and Kevin looks away]

[D] “We saved ripping into Kev until you got here.”

[T] “Yep. Let him have it, Mom!”

[You look at your eldest son with bloodshot eyes, shaking and ashamed, and simply rest your hand on his arm and tell him it’s OK]

[K] “W-Wh…? B-But I was a dick to you… It’s not…”

[You hug him and he hugs you back, crying quietly]

[D] “...I was hoping for more ripping than hugging but I guess this works. Joining the hug for maximum big brother embarrassment!”

[T] “Providing backup!”

[You all hug, despite the raw teenage grumpiness and embarrassment. You catch Mr. Sylph smiling at you from his classroom for a few seconds before he turns that steely teacher gaze on an especially guilty looking Oni boy]

[K] “...I love you guys.”

[D] “Generic declaration of affection.”

[T] “General affirmation of reciprocated affection.”

[K] “...I love you guys but you’re dicks.”

[His brothers giggle and you all head on with the night a little less strained, at least]

[To be continued?]

Note: Yes, the Oni boy mentioned may or may not be one of the sons of a certain Oni King and his Priestess.
