Trickstar's Happiness

Chapter 1

Trickstar looked up at Cirrus City's school, nervous. It felt like the new she was making a life or death decision, and it felt deadly. Her long eyelashes were obviously sticking out from under her long, cyanish mane and her mare styled face could be seen from miles away. Sure, she felt pretty, but she didn't have many friends. Most people would bully her, and even the smart ones would when she got bad grades. Trickstar thought that her school life was a disaster, and most of it honestly was. And a sex change could probably mix in with the bullying. She felt afraid. "M-maybe... I can d-do a card t-trick before they can s-see..?" She whispered to herself softly.

Nightswitch turned her head to her best friend. "It's okay, sweety... I won't let anypony pick on you. I was bullied when I decided to have a sex change, but I didn't let it bother me. Do you feel pretty and like the way you are now?"

Trickstar nodded. "Very pretty and yes, I love it... I love being a girl.."

"Then that's all that matters." Nightswitch said, smiling to her. They walked into the school together, and Trickstar was shaking nervously. Would everypony hate her? Would she get picked on? Would she... Those thoughts ran through her mind, and she stopped the third thought quickly to avoid cruel fate, which could make it a horrible reality. She shook her head quickly and Nightswitch stared.

"Need a drink of water..? I can tell you had no sleep last night..." She said, frowning.

"Yes..." Trickstar said, and they set off for the water fountain. Class started in 20 minutes anyways. They had some time to spare, and both had everything they would need. Trickstar took a peek at the papers listing her successful 'procedure' and school excuse. She wasn't in for a few days due to a combination of morning sickness, nervousness, and some sorts of pain. She used painkillers for that, and was still taking them. She walked in front of the water fountian, and Nightswitch quickly walked behind her. Trickstar turned and looked at her.

"I'm keeping anypony from seeing your..." She said, nodding. Trickstar blushed and opened her bottle of painkillers from her baggie filled with school supplies, taking out one capsule and putting it in her mouth, then swallowing it with water from the water fountian. She coughed a bit, stepping aside, and Nightswitch sipped the water. She finished and looked at Trickstar. "Remember, take one at noon, then at six o'clock pm. Right now, it's six o'clock am." She said, smiling. Trickstar nodded, then they started off walking.

"Where are we going?" Trickstar asked, walking behind Nightswitch.

"Well, it'd be best to give your papers to Mrs. Skyblaze now, before you confront anypony and before anypony asks in class." She said, and they continued walking.

"Class 2-A.." They both said, with different tones. Nightswitch smiled and knocked on the door, and Mrs. Skyblaze opened the door.

"Nightswitch?" She asked, smiling. "I haven't seen you been in this early since you reported your paper-... Oh, my.." She said, noticing Trickstar's eyelashes and feminine looks. Trickstar handed her the papers, and Mrs. Skyblaze looked at her. "No worries, nopony will know and i'll try my best to keep anypony from picking on you." She said, giving Trickstar a soft, reassuring smile. Trickstar smiled back, and Mrs. Skyblaze looked at her clock. "Now, I need to finish grading these papers."

"Okay, thank you Mrs. Skyblaze." They both said, smiling. Mrs. Skyblaze shut the door, and Trickstar looked around, noticing many ponies where they usually talk to their friends. She saw Starlight, Diamondbright, and Bryce standing there, usually talking with other people, but talking to each other. Nightswitch giggled and started to eavesdrop.

"Diamonds shine brighter than stars!" Diamondbright exclaimed, talking to Starlight.

"Nuh-uh." She replied, and Diamondbright got angrier.

"It's the sun falling over the sea that shines prettier!" Bryce exclaimed, arguing with them.

"Nuh-uh. You must have water in your glasses." Starlight replied again, enjoying both Bryce and Diamondbright's faces of anger. Diamondbright stared at a diamond, trying to prove it.

"They're goggles!" Bryce exclaimed, looking over to see Trickstar, not really noticing her looks out of anger and the goggles he was wearing, which really did have water in it. "Hey, Trickstar!" He exclaimed, still thinking she was a he. "Why did you run out of class?"

Trickstar looked at him nervously. "U-Umm... I got sick." She lied, her voice cracking.

"Well, anyways, can you come here for a second?" He asked.

Just before she could say no, Nightswitch brought Trickstar over there.

"Which is prettier, the stars, a diamond, or a sunset?" He asked. Starlight looked at her, and actually noticed the eyelashes, and Diamondbright was busy examining the diamond. Starlight smiled at her, knowing what she did, and that look made Trickstar blush, knowing what the look meant. "W-W-Well.... T-They are all p-pretty in my opinion..." She whispered in a quiet tone and studdered a bit to keep them from hearing her feminine voice.

"Well, a diamond is not that pretty!" He said, grabbing Diamondbright's attention.

"Diamonds are way prettier than water, waterstallion!" She yelled, angry. Starlight moved closer to Trickstar.

"Don't worry, I won't tell nopony." She whispered to Trickstar, keeping her mellow smile. Trickstar's face flushed to a red colour.

"Waterstallion?! You're the future bank robber!" Bryce yelled at Diamondbright.

Trickstar looked at them, then back at Nightswitch.

"Class starts in ten minutes." Nightswitch whispered, laughing a bit.

"Bank robber?! You can't see anything with those dorky glasses filled with water on!" Diamondbright exclaimed, pushing Bryce's goggles up and making the water spill out.

"HEY! And they are not GLASSES!!" He yelled.

"And this speedo makes it seem like you want a stallion to buck you!" Diamondbright yelled, stretching it out and letting go of it, the rubber smacking his flank.

"O-Ow!!" He exclaimed in pain, rubbing his flank. "Oh yea?" He said. "All of your diamonds make you look slu-"

"No profanity please!" Starlight said, laughing. Diamondbright turned to Starlight and laughed also.

Bryce got out a wooden ruler from his bag, and smacked Diamondbright on her flank with it.

"E-eep!!" She exclaimed, and Bryce laughed, smacking her on her flank again with the ruler. "S-stop! What's wrong with you?!"

"No, you've been a bad greedy princess!" He exclaims, smacking her flank with the ruler once more. "Bad!"

Diamondbright ran down the hallway, and Bryce followed her. Starlight and Nightswitch laughed hard, and Trickstar let out some soft laughs. Starlight turned around to Trickstar.

"...You're pretty as a young mare, Trick." She said, smiling. Trickstar blushed.

"T-Thank you, Starly..." Trickstar whispered, looking at her then Nightswitch.

"You'll should come over to my house for a makeover!" Nightswitch said, smiling at them.

Trickstar looked up, not knowing what to say, then Starlight chimed in. "Sure!"

"Sure...!" Trickstar said quietly and anxiously. She hadn't been to one obviously.

Nightswitch smiled, and the bell for classtime rang. Trickstar looked nervously, and both Nightswitch and Starlight smiled at her.

"Don't worry!" Starlight said.

"Everything will be okay." Nightswitch said, and Trickstar looked at both of them and smiled.

"I'm so glad to have friends like you'll two.." Trickstar said, hugging them. They each entered Mrs. Skyblaze's classroom, they being the first three in, followed by Pumpkin Pie. She looked at Starlight, Nightswitch, then to Trickstar. Starlight sat in the desk next to the one where the window was, and Trickstar sat there. Nightswitch sat in front of Trickstar, and Pumpkin Pie took her desk, the one closest to Mrs. Skyblaze.

One by one, around two dozen more ponies entered the classroom, and Mrs. Skyblaze closed the door when everypony was inside the classroom.

Nightswitch looked around. "Wow... Everypony seems to be here today.."

"That doesn't sound like a really good thing..." Trickstar said, sighing. Nopony seemed to be paying attention to her except Nightswitch and Starlight.

Starlight smiled. "Well.. I'm sure Mrs. Skyblaze won't really call on you very much."

"She didn't call on me for a month." Nightswitch said, smiling. Trickstar looked around and saw Jet sitting besides Nightswitch, and she gulped, hoping she wouldn't look at her. She looked past her, identifying more ponies. Bambi, Lucky, Pumpkin Pie, an unknown white mare, Dusty Waterfalls, Chet, Diamondbright, and Bryce. Luckily, only few know her name. When she saw Chet, the school bully, she shuddered. Mrs. Skyblaze snuck into a different room. Jets' pencil broke while she was drawing and she growled.

"Damnit." She cursed in a quiet tone, quiet enough to where she could avoid Starlight's scolding. She got up and walked close to Trickstar, the pencil sharpener on the desk behind her. She peeked at her for a bit, noticing that the once he was different somehow, but she couldn't put her hoof on it. She rolled her eyes, sharpening her pencil and returning to her desk to continue drawing. Chet looked back at her.

"Hey, lesbian. Do you have an extra pencil?" Chet asked. Jet snapped up.

"It's not for you. And i'm straight. I bet you wish though, you pervert." Jet said back, looking back down at her 'book' as she called it. She actually scratched out the words that said 'Diary' on the front. She hated it when people referred to her as a male, but also hates being called a girly girl. She seems not have a friend at all in the school, due to her anger. Nopony really knows her on the inside though, and last time somepony laid a hoof on her 'book', She broke his snout.

"Just look at you!" Chet exclaimed, laughing at her. Even he knew not to touch her diary though. "You look like a stallion! Maybe you should switch bodies with Trickstar." He said, and they both looked at her.

Trickstar covered her face with her hat and Chet laughed.

"...I like the way my body is. I bet you wish you could rub it though!" Jet exclaimed. "Or better yet, I bet you wish I actually was a stallion and you would still want my body." She said, not insulting Trickstar.

Trickstar peeked at Jet, and accidently sneezed.

"Bless you, Starlight." Pumpkin Pie said from the front of the classroom, thinking that Starlight sneezed.

"Huh?.. Oh, thank you, Pumpkin." Starlight said, smiling.

"Bumpkin." Chet said, laughing.

"I dare you to even spell that!" Pumpkin Pie exclaimed, angry.

"Why can't bumpkins like you find out yourself?" He asked and Pumpkin growled. Pumpkin went back to reading her book and Jet went back to drawing. Starlight peeked over tat Jet's drawing and identified a heart around two female signs crossing. Starlight smiled and Jet didn't see her and she continued drawing.

Nightswitch smiled, looking at the unknown white unicorn mare.

"No arguvents like vis back vere I live... Not many ponies vould argue like zat..." She whispered to herself, looking down at her paper. She had a rather unknown accent. Chet took a pencil from her desk. "You cannot have pencil vithout asking!" She exclaimed, and Chet laughed.

"Shut it, accent." He said, not giving it back.

She cursed in another language. She seemed mad and Chet just laughed.

"Can you say 'Loser'?" Chet asks, setting up a joke.

"Voser..?" She said, not getting his sense of humor and not knowing that he was laughing at her accent.

"Zat's what you are, a voser!" He said, mimicking her accent.

"Veave me avone!" She yelled, frowning and laying her head on her desk.

"Quit picking on her." Nightswitch said to Chet, and he looked at her.

"Shut it, tranny." He replies. "Where's that other loser at.. Move your head, tranny."

Nightswitched stuck her tongue out at him, and Trickstar looked around for Mrs. Skyblaze. She had left into another room a few minutes ago, so she resorted to laying her head on the desk along with the white mare.

Chet eventually got up and left his desk and walked to Trickstar. "Look up, loser." He said, grinning.

Trickstar didn't looked up. "Go away." She said, faking a stallion-like voice.

"Don't be a pus-"

"Profanity!" Starlight exclaimed, looking at Chet. "Profanity is a big no-no."

"Don't be a wuss then." He said, sighing.

Trickstar bearly raised her head. "What do you want..?"

"Where's my daily five bits? I'm thirsty." He said.

Trickstar was broke, due to the cost of the surgery. She started sweating.

"Shut up and take my bits!" Nightswitch said, throwing the bits at him.

"Hah, she just paid your life insurance." Chet said, returning to his maple-brown desk.
Trickstar looked up at Nightswitch.

"Thank you so much, Switch..." She muttered softly.

Mrs. Skyblaze smiled and walked out of the door she had left into, and walked to her desk. "Alright, everypony..." She said, beginning a long day of school.
