The high winds whistling through hear rainbow mane, and robin's blue ears was enough to drown out the sound of her crying. As she blasted through the sky faster than anypony else ever could, she continued to pick apart every last one of her faults.

"Why am I like this? Why am I so weird? Why do I have to be different?"

She wanted to fight it. She wanted to force herself into being content with exactly the way she already was, because that's what any normal pony would do. As she continued to cry, her hooves trembling with both emotion, and the resistance of the atmosphere around her, she repeated a single phrase between her teeth.

"I am a m

Rainbow Dash TG V

There was silence, nothing but the sounds of crickets, the wind in the trees, and Spike's snoring as Twilight Sparkle lay in her bed, curled up with a book. Her eyes followed the words. Syllable by syllable, line by line, page by page. However, her mind did very little to process what her eyes were taking in.

Her thoughts were elsewhere. She could not stop worrying about Rainbow Dash, and what she had confessed earlier that day.

"A boy? A… colt? How could anypony born a mare feel that way?" Twilight thought, trying to come up with anything at all to explain why her friend seemed so tormented.

She let out a heavy sigh, and closed her b

"Okay everyone," she started, "and-a-one, and-a-two, and—"

As Fluttershy conducted, the birds in the tree began to sing. The eloquence and rich harmony was perfect, with the exception of one aspect.

Fluttershy directed the group to stop for a moment, so she could have a word with one of the blue jays, who was still lost in his own little world, still singing the tune as best he could. He had been trying really hard, really, but he just wasn't getting it down.

Fluttershy flew over next to him, startling him a little.

"Um, excuse me, sir? Um, I don't mean to be rude… or hurt your feelings or anything… but, your rhythm is just

"Alright, everypony! Welcome to your first day here at Junior Speedsters Flight Camp. We've got a lot to learn over the next few weeks, so we'll need to move quickly."

Rainbow Dash could not have been more excited.

"All I have to do is out fly the other ponies here, and I'll be a Wonderbolt!" The little filly thought to herself while her fellow students mingled amongst each other.

Rainbow Dash eagerly hung onto her instructor's every word.

"Now, the first thing we'll need to do is assign each of you a cabin to stay in. To get started, I'll need everypony to split into two groups. Fillies on one side, and colts on the other."

She froze.

Standing there at the foot of Twilight's door.

"Come on," she thought to herself. "You can do this."

Surely Twilight would understand. Surely she would be able to help. She could use magic better than anypony else in Ponyville.

"I can do this. I'm Rainbow Dash!"

"I'll just go in there, and tell her what's up."

Dash gulped down the lump in her throat.

"I know she can fix me."

"Okay Spike, are you sure you want to go through with this?" Twilight questioned, unsure of whether or not Spike's plan was a good idea.

"Of course Twilight! I'm just so short! That has to be why Rarity isn't interested."

"Spike, making yourself

Rainbow Dash TG VII

The three ponies stood there in the back room of the boutique while Twilight Sparkle scrambled to come up with anything which could be considered an answer.

However, Rainbow Dash gave her no time to answer, continuing to pile on questions, each one stabbing at Twilight with more sharp pain than any knife could ever produce.

"Why are you here?"

"What do you want?

"Can't you see Rarity and I are busy?"

Twilight, immediately regretting her intrusion, was still unable to speak. It was Rarity who broke through the awkward silence.

"Um… Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle? Is something the matter?"

Rainbow answered first, "No."

Twilight cleared her throat and began to read.

"The True Self Spell"

This spell is formulated to align a pony's physical being with that of the identity they hold to be most true in their heart. Each pony will notice changes specific to their own body, however there are correlations depending on a pony's gender and race.

Twilight stopped. "Hmm… let me skip ahead to the part which best describes you, Dash."

A female pegasus wishing to transform herself into that of a male pegasus is likely to experience some, if not all, of the following changes:

-Increased Muscle Mass

-Slight Weight Redistribution

-Deepening of Voice

-Increased F

Twilight grunted and stretched, turning her head into her pillow in a last ditch effort to catch just a few more seconds of sleep.

"Um…. up yet?" Rainbow's voice cracked a bit with the upward inflection of the question, to which she already knew the answer.

Twilight nodded as she continued to stretch, eyes still closed.

Rainbow didn't feel the need to allow Ms. Sparkle to awaken any further to let her in on the good news. "Hey Twi, guess what."

Twilight's eyes blearily opened, one just before the other, in attempt to acknowledge the impatient pony who had been so kind as to steal her away from her slumber. "…Yeah?"

"We have a r

Rainbow Dash TG VI

She awoke in a daze.

Groggy, and confused, she clenched her eyes shut, pressing against her forehead to relieve the pain of the unrelenting, blinding light. "Ugh… what time is it?"

Her back hurt. She opened her eyes, still fighting against the sight-hindering sun in order to study her surroundings.

She was laying on the ground, her wings trapped underneath her torso. She rolled over, and stood up, all the while cynically laughing at her own stupidity.

"Haha, must've fallen off," she said to herself.

Rainbow Dash haphazardly dusted herself off, and began making her way to Rarity's Boutique.

"…Here goes."

Applejack, an affectionate smile on her face, had been watching Twilight and Big McIntosh and listening to their conversation the whole time. She turned to Rarity and said "Naw don' those two jus' make the most adorable couple?"

Rarity looked at them and beamed. "Oh, most ASSUREDLY Applejack. They're like a dream come true!"

Twilight's eyes flicked open. A dream come true. A dream? Where had she heard that before? Somepony had said something about a dream, and for her to be careful. But who had it been? Suddenly she heard Zec

"Wake up, Pinkie Pie!" Dash sobbed. Her head lay on the little earth pony's unmoving chest, tears streaming from her eyes and soaking her pink coat. "I love you. I love you!"

Outside the black storm raged unabated, the shrieking winds whipping around the Library, the great tree creaking and groaning as if it would splinter apart at any moment, the rain pouring against the windows as if they were trapped in the course of a surging torrent.

"Hey, are you down here?" Came the cracking voice of a developing Pegasus as she flew down from the cloud city of Cloudsdale.

Fluttershy's ear perked up as she looked up at the sky from the ground, the animal friends that had gathered around her beginning to move away, returning to their lives before she had arrived.

"There you are." The rainbow haired Pegasus said landing on the ground next to the skinny-legged yellow Pegasus, "What're you doing down here? You missed the whole race! Which

"I'm so glad that you decided to come to the ball with me, Dash!" said Star Catcher. Her mane was done up in a formal style, an abundance of curls fashioned into a crown at her poll, the rest falling down the other side in a waterfall of blue and pink. Her ears glittered with diamond earrings and the necklace at her throat sparkled. Dash had never seen a filly look more stunning. She blushed as she took the hoof Star Catcher offered her and they stepped together through the huge doors that led into the great hall of Cloudsdale Flight School.

A few weeks passed as Scootaloo and Spike began dating. However, Scootaloo refused to use the word 'dating' since she felt it was both weird and embarrassing. She also felt that way when she and Spike told Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle about their new relationship. Oddly enough, Spike seemed quite fine with informing everypony about it, it was Scootaloo who was shy about doing so. Everypony gave them their best wishes. While it did make Scootaloo happy that their friends were all celebratory for the new couple, she still felt there was a hole inside

Rainbow Dash TG II

Twilight was confused.

"A boy, Dash? I don't think I understand. You're a girl, Rainbow."

"No I'm not!" Dash exclaimed, standing back up with her chest puffed out.

She could feel her tears welling back up.

"Sure, I'm a girl on the outside, but haven't you ever noticed how different I am from the rest of you? I am not a girl, and I can't stand being treated like one!"

Twilight took a step back. "Rainbow… I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you."

Rainbow Dash's face had once again become drenched, tears dripping off her chin as she screamed.

"You're sorry? Everypony treats me like a girl, and the first pony I tell different doesn't even understand!"

Dash lowered her head in disappointment. "Just… forget I said anything. I'm out of here."

And with that, Rainbow blasted through Twilight's, thankfully open, window.

---

She didn't know what to do. How could Dash not feel "right" as a girl? She was a girl, wasn't she?

"This is so confusing!"

Twilight Sparkle continued to rummage through the growing pile of books in front of her.

"There isn't anything about what Rainbow Dash described in any of these books!"

Her frustration continued to mount.

"Spike!"

Spike was standing just a few feet away from Twilight, picking up the mess she had been making.

"Yes?" He murmured, obviously annoyed.

"Spike, do you know anything about what Rainbow Dash described earlier?"

He sat down where he was standing, allowing himself to get lost in his own thoughts.

"Well, you told me she felt like she was a boy, right? I've never heard of something like that before. Sounds to me like she's been doing too many aerial spins if you know what I'm sayin'."

He let out a short laugh.

"Spike, this is serious. Dash was really upset. I've never seen her cry like that before."

Spike went from joking to concerned, retracting his previous statement. He looked down at his toes.

"I don't know Twilight. I mean, shouldn't ponies know whether they're a boy or girl?"

"Of course, Spike. I mean, it should be so obvious, but with Rainbow Dash…. well… there really is something wrong with her."

A light went off in Spike's head. "You think we should write Princess Celestia about this?"

Twilight smiled. "Great idea, Spike! She'll know how to help for sure! Take this down, please."

She began dictating while Spike captured her every word with his quill.

Dear Princess Celestia,

I regret to inform you this is not my next report on the magic of friendship. That report will be sent in good time as scheduled.

This letter is to inform you of an apparent emergency regarding one of my closest friends, Rainbow Dash.

It seems as though Rainbow thinks she is a boy pony, while she is clearly a girl. I've went through the entire library here in Ponyville, unable to find any information pertaining to the illness she has described. I am concerned that perhaps she has been cursed, or struck with a mind-altering illness, but without the proper medical or psychological knowledge, it is impossible for me to tell what exactly is wrong with her.

I've never heard of anything like this before. I assume it is a very rare thing to come across.

I request your speedy reply, divulging any information you can provide that will prove beneficial to my friend, Rainbow Dash.

Your faithful student,

Twilight Sparkle

Spike rolled up the scroll, and with a powerful, yet elegant blast of his fire breath, sent the letter to The Princess.

He looked over to Twilight. "Do you think Princess Celestia will be able to help Rainbow Dash?"

Twilight walked over to the window, gazing up at the cloudy sky. "I hope so, Spike."

"… I hope so."

Literature / Prose / Fiction / General Fiction / Short Stories

As requested, here is part two of my story about Rainbow Dash dealing with gender dysphoria.

I'm trying to write this as if it were an actual episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is magic, so having plenty of Twilight Sparkle in it seemed right to me.

The other characters will be introduced into the story as I progress, so watch my profile to stay updated on this, and everything else I produce.

The picture is from the show, and not my own artwork. The characters are property of Hasbro and Lauren Faust.

Oh, and if you read this, love it, hate, or anything in between, please leave a comment below. I'm always working to improve my writing, and other work, so any comments and criticism is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Wow! Over 1,000 views in only 8 hours!? THANK YOU SO MUCH EVERYPONY!!!

Oh.... and I made it on the second page of dA! Awesome! That's a personal best.

Thanks again everyone!

Your a great writer. This is exactley how something like this would go down in the MLP universe and this is not far off from my current experiences as well. (aside from me being MtF and not a pony) Twilight reminds me of my mom in this instance and so I must ask you, have you gone through the same basic thing as portayed in this story as well? If not, then I'm amazed at how accurate it is. If you did, it is still a fantastic fic :-D

~Ddraigtanto Jan 9, 2013 Hobbyist Writer

Well, looking through the first two chapters, this is certainly an unorthodox fanfiction, but it appear to be done in a respectful way which appears similar to the way the majority of MLP would actually behave; I personally am interested to see more.

Is Rainbow Dash a fairly new MLP? The name doesn't sound familiar.
