Prologue

Only a few days, a lot happened for two ponies in a matter of thirty minutes which then lasted the rest of day. They considered this as the darkest hour between them, one that decided the need, the desire of change and fate.
These two ponies were Trickstar, a sweet, mild mannered earth pony magician and Nightswitch, a beautiful, caring unicorn who considered herself as a transpony. At first their relationship was relatively quiet, since they themselves are somewhat shy and it took one to step forward and say something to start a conversation. This event happened during any standard day at Cirrus city's high school.

In the average sized classroom, it was break and the lessons were going to resume in around ten minutes time. Unusually, many of the classmates were already in and early, since most of the students just turn up late, due to the laid-back atmosphere.
On the back table, was Trickstar, he had to sneak in early to avoid the many ponies who did not like him. Sitting alone, he was just idly shuffling his cards, a little depressed for some reason. The tables at the front had the usual young attitude ponies, Bryce, Diamondbright, Lucky and Pumpkin Pie. They were busy either boasting about how good they were at sports or talking about why it sucks.

“I CAN kick a ball, you idiot.” Said Diamondbright, in her sarcastic sassy tone, trying to put down Bryce.

“Yeah... and then you slip-up and fall on your back.” Chuckled Bryce, giving the impression that was agreeing with the pony next to him and mocking her. This made the pink mare turn a little red, while Pumpkin Pie giggled.

“Shut up, no I don't!” Squirmed Diamondbright.

“And then you pissed yourself.” Said Bryce, lying and smiling, annoying Diamond as she stood.

“SHUT UP! YOU LIER!” Shouted the angry pink mare, thumping her desk.
Pumpkin Pie next her laughed out loud while the pony on the opposite end of the class could not help but chuckle. This pony was Nightswitch, she too was sitting alone, only because she was early. It seemed her good friend Starlight was taking a detour to the toilet or something, since the dreamy white unicorn is usually early.

As the minutes passed, the subject for the conversation at the front of the class had changed. It had somehow degenerated to arguing whether it was better to be a boy or a girl. This caught the distracted attention of both Trickstar and Nightswitch.

“No, it's better to be a mare, because we are ALLOWED to be ourselves and we get away with being lesbian! We also have rights to smack a boy when they're being naughty!” Complained Diamond, while she tried to hit Bryce as he leaned back, avoiding the swinging hoof.

“Yep, that's true, I have-” Blurted Pumpkin Pie, just as she got interrupted by Bryce.

“No! Girls THINK they have the rights, it really cuz we don't care.”
The orange pegasus then turned round at Trickstar, looking for other male ponies.

“Ain't that right Trickstar?”
All three ponies at the front were staring at the little cream coloured earth pony. Trickstar was already looking at them, but he stuttered, realizing that they were now talking to him.

“Um, S-sorry?” Said Trickstar, at a stage of such sheer pressure and sudden stage fright, which he rarely ever encounters.
Bryce nodded to Trickstar, not noticing any changes in him.

“You've been in many fights. Guys can just take it right? We're tough!” Boasted Bryce.

“Which is just stupid, if you ask me. Oh yeah! Boys are stupid.” Said Diamondbright in her childish sassy tone again.
Pumpkin nodded to that remark and sat forward again with Diamond.

“Given the choice Bryce.” Said Pumpkin Pie, leaning forward to face the teenage stallion.

“Yes?” Asked Bryce.

“If you found anypony who was neither male or female and at our age, but they could chose the be either. Which do you think they would be, a boy or a girl?”

Meanwhile, as the conversation got blurry, Trickstar started to feel as though tissue was being scrunched up inside of him. This feeling was very disorientating, he decided to quickly storm out.

The remaining four ponies watched Trickstar take his leave, even though the bell had just rang as he left the door. The ponies at the front seemed a little confused but then ignored Trickstar.
Nightswitch on the other hoof got pretty concerned, she recognized this reaction and could not help but want to chase after Trickstar.
At that moment, Starlight had appeared through teleportation onto her seat next to Nightswitch. More ponies were coming in, none of which were the teacher.

“Sorry I'm late, Switch. I ran into a lovely old friend of mine!” Said Starlight happily.
The beautiful purple transpony was listening, but she was more focused on Trickstar, but now she her friend to excuse her.

“Star, sweetie, could you tell Mrs. Skyblaze that I am here and I'll be right back?” Spoke Nightswitch, in a rather hurried voice.

“Yes, of course. Why what's up?” Asked the interested white unicorn.
Nightswitch did not answer her, she just rushed out while the other classmates were just waltzing in.

The hallways were suddenly dead quiet, now that the classes had started. Nightswitch went looking for Trickstar, figuring that he would not be just strolling around the hallways, since he was afraid of them. The tall pretty purple unicorn searched outside in the flower garden. It was where most ponies liked to relax, read books or take their dates.

Near the very middle of this maze of pretty flower-infested hedges, Nightswitch saw Trickstar the distance. Quickly she approached.

“Trickstar?” Called out Nightswitch, stopping nearby the canary earth pony.
Trickstar was taking deep breaths, he looked calm, though it looked like he had taken another beating of some kind. Nightswitch could tell something was very wrong.

“Are you alright?” Asked Nightswitch, as Trickstar turned around, looking away.

“I'm just- you know when, um...” Trickstar stuttered badly and quite quickly his lips began trembling.
Slowly the caring purple unicorn approached to his side, as he suddenly broke into tears.

“Trick, what's wrong?” Asked Nightswitch, putting her hoof around the crying earth pony and holding him close.

“I just couldn't... they were all saying how much better it was to be girl! B-but I was not born that way and if I was...” Sputtered Trickstar as he broke down into tears again as he cuddled onto Nightswitch. She knew exactly how this feels.

“It's okay sweetie, you're not alone. I can help you to become a girl, if that is really what you want right now?” Said Nightswitch, nuzzling her distressed little friend.

It was what Trickstar needed more than anything else right now. He could have ranted on and on about everything that was better in being a girl and why he so desperately needed to be a girl too, but instead, he just nodded with his eyes closed, letting the tears slide down.

This was his day, where everything changed for her.
