The search

Icefire was flying high over Ponyville, she enjoyed flying in general, but flying high was something special. Then she remembered that Twilight wanted her for some reason. She dove to 100 feet then sped to Twilight’s treehouse. When she arrived she knocked on Twilight’s door. She was greeted by Spike, Twilight’s assistant.
“Hey Icefire! What do you need?” he asked.
“I was actually looking for Twilight, she called for me,” Icefire responded.
“Oh she’s actually been out all day, she said she was going to Fluttershy’s house.”
“Okay then, I’ll see you later!” Icefire shouted as she flew off towards Fluttershy’s cottage.

Icefire thought that it was weird that Twilight hadn’t been at home all day. Icefire came when Twilight was supposed to be studying. Whatever she was doing at Fluttershy’s must have been important to miss study hour. While she was preoccupied pondering what it could’ve been, she crashed into Fluttershy’s room. Fluttershy jumped about 5 feet in the air.
“Sorry Fluttershy,” Icefire apologized.
“Oh, its you,” Fluttershy said.
“You knew I was coming?”
“Twilight said you might come by.”
“Do you know where she went?”
“She went to Sugar Cube Corner,” Fluttershy said.
“I’ll see you later,” Ice said remembering her appointment with Fluttershy that night.

While on her way to Sugar Cube, Ice was almost hit by a diving Rainbow Dash.
“Woah! Watch it!” Rainbow shouted on her way down.
“What?” Ice said, but it was already too late. Rainbow collided with Ice. Ice had hurt her wing when it got crushed by Rainbow, when they hit the ground.
“I told you to move!” Rainbow shouted.
“Well could please get off my wing?” Ice said, pointing towards her wing Rainbow was on top of.
“Oops,” Rainbow said apologetically. Rainbow got off Ice’s wing, it still hurt even after Rainbow got off. She probably couldn’t fly for the rest of the day.
“Now I probably can’t fly for the rest of the day,” Ice remarked out loud.
“Well if you would have moved in time this wouldn’t have happened!” the cyan pegasus shouted at Ice.
“I wasn’t talking to you,” Ice replied.
“Well I heard it!”
“Well I have to see-”
“Me?” Ice was interrupted by a certain pink pony.
“Actually I was looking for Twilight,” Ice replied.
“I was looking for Pinkie” Rainbow said.
“Pinkie, did you see Twilight?”
“Yeah, like an hour ago.”
At least I’m getting closer to her Ice thought.
“I did too, about thirty minutes ago, she told me to go see Pinkie.” Rainbow stated.
“So its taken you thirty minutes to find Pinkie?” Ice asked, puzzled by this information.
“Well I started looking like a minute ago.” Rainbow said shamefully.
“Why did you just start looking?” Pinkie said, it was easy to tell she was hurt by Rainbow’s statement.
“Umm, I went and talked to Applejack,” Rainbow said.
“Well I’ll see if Applejack knows where Twilight is.”
“You do that!” Rainbow said, mad at Ice for revealing why she had taken so long. Rainbow and Pinkie trotted over to Sugar Cube. Ice tried to fly, her wing hurt badly and didn’t enable her to fly.
Just great, Ice thought, now I’ll be even farther off her track

Ice ran to Sweet Apple Acres and found Applebloom and the rest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders under an apple tree.
Maybe they know where she went.
“Hi girls!” Ice said as she trotted over.
“Hi” said Scootaloo, first to notice the white pony with a light blue mane. The other Cutie Mark Crusaders waved hi.
“Did you by any chance see Twilight?” Ice asked.
“We saw her twice,” said Applebloom.
“Once fifteen minutes ago,” recalled Scootaloo.
“and again five minutes ago,” finished Sweetie Belle, “she was in a hurry, by the looks of it.”
“Did she say where she was going?” Ice asked.
“As I said, she was in a hurry and I don’t think she noticed us,” stated Sweetie Belle
“I reckon’ she went and talked to Applejack, but I don’t know fer sure,” said Applebloom.
“Hey guys! Ice needs help finding Twilight! We could be Cutie Mark Crusaders detectives!” The three then shouted the last sentence all together. They followed Ice towards the farmhouse.

Upon entering they heard,
“Ah’ll be right with ya!” as Applejack descended the staircase, the Cutie Mark Crusaders dispersed, Ice had no idea why
“Howdy Ice what are ya’ll doing over here in Sweet Apple Acres?” Applejack asked.
“I was looking for Twilight,” Ice replied.
“She came here for some Zap Apple Jam for Zecora.”
“Could you take me to Zecora’s?” Ice asked.
“You ain’t been to Zecora’s?”
“You got that right.”
“Can’t y'all just fly there? Rainbow says its pre’ty obvious from the sky.”
“Well isn’t that ironic, Rainbow collided with me while I was flying to Sugar Cube and landed on my wing,” Ice admitted shyly.
“Oh, well ah guess ah could.”

The search continues

Ice and Applejack walked to the Everfree Forest. As Ice had never been in the forest before she stayed close to Applejack, too close for Applejack’s standards.
“Sugarcube, could y’all not hang onto me?” Applejack asked.
“Oh, sorry, it's that I’ve never been in here before,” Ice apologized, detaching herself from Applejack.
“Ya don’t say,” Applejack said to herself. The duo continued down the dirt road. Ice was scared more than Fluttershy.
“H-how m-much further?” Ice asked in between shudders.
“Not that much longer now.”
“Oh, okay,” Ice seem to react with a more relaxed expression. The pegasus and earth pony arrived at Zecora’s. When they arrived at Zecora’s they heard her making a potion. Ice couldn't even begin to understand what the zebra was saying. Applejack just opened the door and waltzed in. Ice on the other hand slowly walked in.
“Howdy Zecora!” Applejack said.
“Shh,” Zecora replied.
“What is she doing?” Ice whispered to no one in particular.
“Shh!”
“I don't know, but I reckon it’s some fancy voodoo stuff.” Applejack responded.
“SHH!”
“Let’s be quiet now,” Applejack said.
“Whisper of spring, and flaps of some wings?” Zecora remarked surprised at the weird ingredient.
“I-I could help with that,” Ice whimpered.
Zecora looked up and noticed the pegasus she didn’t recognize.
“And who might you be?” Zecora remarked. “You do not know me?”
Applejack smiled, and tilted her head towards Ice. “This here’s mah friend Ice. We’re here to see if ya had seen Twilight today.”
Zecora tilted her head, remembering. “Sorry, I have not. She might be at the schoolhouse, or so I thought.”
“Thanks. Oh and before we go, here,” Ice flapped her good wing over Zecora’s potion. It turned bright yellow.
“Thank you, you ponies,” Zecora started, but Ice was already out the door.
“Excuse mah friend,” Applejack apologized.

As soon as Ice was out the door she felt happier. She wasn’t sure if it was being away from the rhymes or away from the weird potion. She tried to take off seeing as her wing had stopped hurting. She sprinted towards a tree- she liked to fly over things- unfurled her wings, and leaped. Let’s just say she got well acquainted with some squirrels. Applejack came by and saw the situation. She was laughing as she pulled the white pegasus out from the tree. “That wasn’t funny,” Ice said a little angry.
“It was fer me,” the orange pony replied. They walked out of the forest and Applejack said she had to get back to her chores.

Ice trotted over to the schoolhouse where she met Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.”Hey watch it!” Diamond shouted, “If you hit me, I will sue you!”
What a fun bunch of kids, Ice thought. She walked past them to talk to Cherliee. “Hi Cherliee, did you by any chance see Twilight?” Ice asked.
Cherliee smiled brightly. “Oh, hello Icefire! No, I’m sorry- I haven’t seen Twilight Sparkle today. She might be at the concert hall. Octavia and Vinyl Scratch are having a concert tonight, and Ditzy’s doing the lighting.” Cherliee shook her head. “I love that pony, but I swear. Ditzy and anything technical should not be mixed.” She laughed.
“I have to agree with that,” Ice said, I would have put it nicer though.

Ice walked over to the concert hall where Vinyl and Octavia were talking about something.

“No, there needs to be fireworks!” Vinyl stopped her hoof on the ground, causing her glasses to fall to the side slightly. She pushed them back up. Octavia shook her head. “No. The sparks will turn my cello to dust.” She stepped protectively in front of her instrument. “Come on. You got the solo!” Ice coughed politely to interrupt the two ponies. They both looked over- Vinyl smiled, and Octavia rolled her eyes. “Yes?” asked the brown pony. Vinyl rolled her eyes. “Hey chika. What’s up?” Ice smiled. “Heya Vinyl! I was wondering- have either of you seen Twilight?” The two looked at each other, thinking. Before they could say anything, Ditzy came swinging in on a power cord, George of the Jungle style. The three ponies ducked before the swinging mailpony could hit them. Ditzy giggled, and jumped off the cord before she hit a wall.
“Hey Icefire! How are you?”
Ice grinned. “Hey Ditzy. I was just wondering- have you seen Twilight at all today?” Octavia rolled her eyes, and turned away from the group, taking her instrument with her. Vinyl sighed, and smiled at Ice and Ditzy. “Well, I better run and cool her off. See ya!” Vinyl turned, and started after the cellist. Ice looked back to Ditzy, who was still thinking. The grey pegasus smiled, and nodded. “Yeah, I saw her! She gave me a muffin, then said that she would be back later tonight to see the concert and my lighting! Will you come too?” Then Ice remembered her appointment with Fluttershy that night. “I’m not going to be able to, sorry Ditzy.” The pegasus's ears dropped.
“Okay.”
Ice grinned. “But I’m sure your lighting will be awesome!” That brought her ears back up. “Thanks! Well, I better get back to work. Good luck with your Twilight searching!” With that, the grey pony turned and flew back up to the rafters. Ice chuckled. “Well, better get back to looking for Twilight. But first, I gotta get to Fluttershy’s to tell her that I can’t make it tonight.” She’s not gonna like that.
Somepony hit the floor next to Ice. She jumped about 2 feet and tried to take off only to land face-first on the ground. Ditzy handed Ice a half-eaten muffin. “What’s this for?” Ice asked.
“It always makes me feel better when I crash to have a muffin.” Ditzy responded with a grin. Ice popped the pastry in her mouth and it did in fact make her feel better.
“So where did you say Twilight went again?” Ice asked,. Hitting her head on the ground had made her forget where Ditzy said she went. Ditzy thought about it for a minute, having forgotten herself where she said the purple unicorn said she was going. “I think she said she was going to Fluttershy’s.” Ditzy nodded. “Yes. Definitely Fluttershy’s.” Ice thought But I was there less than an hour ago,“Thank you Ditzy! Good luck with the concert tonight!” Ditzy nodded, and saluted. “Good luck with your Twilight hunting!” Ice saluted back. “Bye!” With that, Ice walked out of the hall, and shook her head. “I was at Fluttershy’s not even an hour ago. How could I have missed her?” The pegasus shook her head. “Alright, let’s see. Twilight has supposedly been to Fluttershy’s cottage, then to Sugarcube Corner, Rainbow’s Cloud home, where she went to Sweet Apple Acres where she got some Zap apple jam for Zecora, then apparently to Zecora’s place, then the schoolhouse, then the concert hall, and now Fluttershy’s again. What is she making a map of Ponyville? Boy is this confusing.” Ice shook her head. “Oh well. Let’s go.”

Soon, Icefire had arrived at Fluttershy’s cottage. Knocking on the door, she was greated by Angel Bunny. “Hey there Angel. Where’s Fluttershy?” Angel pointed up the stairs. “Thanks.” Ice trotted up the stairs, and into the room where Angel had pointed.
“Fluttershy?” Ice whispered, pushing the door open slowly. The yellow pegasus turned, and smiled. “Oh, hello there Icefire. How are you?” Ice smiled. “I’m fine, thank you for asking.” “I have almost everything ready for our appointment tonight,” Fluttershy said proudly, showing off the room with about 40 candles in it. The room also had two very comfy looking chairs in the center of the room. Not to mention the lack of birds chirping, which was always happening. “THIS is almost done?” Ice asked amazed by the sight. “Yes it is. Umm that’s if it’s okay with you.” Fluttershy said in her usual tone. “Fluttershy how long did it take you to do all this?” Ice asked. “About a minute.” Fluttershy simply responded. “ONE MINUTE!?” Ice asked really loudly. Fluttershy thought that she made Ice mad, “Oh, I’m so so so sorry.” Fluttershy apologized. “Why are you sorry? I’m the one who should be sorry for yelling, I was simply amazed that you did all this in a minute.” Ice responded with a smile. “How did you manage all this in a minute?” Ice asked puzzled as to how the pegasus did it. “Oh Twilight helped by moving everything, all that’s left is to light all the candles, and feed the chickens of course.” Fluttershy responded with a small smile. Ice sighed mentally- here was ANOTHER place Twilight had apparently been. “Did Twilight say where she was going? I’ve been chasing after her all day.” Fluttershy thought about it for a moment. “I think she said she was going to Rarity’s.” Ice smiled tiredly- she thought she was close to Twilight! “I’ll be back, in like an hour.” Ice shouts excitedly as she runs out the door. She was going to catch Twilight now!
Ice arrived at Rarity’s Boutique and heard some talking inside. She was too excited to make out any words but she was sure she heard Rarity talking to Twilight. Ice barged through the door shouting “I found you now T-!” That's about when she realized Twilight wasn’t there. “Oh, my bad.” Ice responded apologetically. Rarity was in the middle of making a new dress and also arguing with Sweetie Belle. “Its really nothing darling.” Rarity said to Ice, “I’ll just have to start all over.” Rarity said getting more depressed by every word she spoke. Sweetie Belle just went and got some fabric for Rarity. Rarity was on the brink of tears and Ice could tell. Ice rushed over and tried to comfort her, but it didn’t prevail. “I’m so so so sooo sorry Rarity,” Ice was also on the brink of tears. Sweetie Belle was fed up by all this sappiness, and started taking out the stitches on Rarity’s dress. After the pair stopped crying Ice asked if Rarity had seen Twilight, Rarity said that Twilight had been there less than a minute ago. “Where did she say she was going?” Ice asked expectantly. “She said she was going home.” Rarity simply responded. “Thank you!” Ice shouted happily. “For what?” Rarity was completely befuddled by the situation. “I’ve been searching for her all day!” Ice was still happy. She left the white unicorn before she would design a dress for her. Ice sprinted to Twilight’s treehouse, where she nearly crashed into the pony in question. “Slow down Ice! Somepony could get hurt!” Twilight shouted at the sprinting pony. “Twilight, where have you, been all day?” Ice asked between breaths. “Well I went to-” Twilight started. “It was rhetorical I’ve been following your tracks all day!” Ice interrupted Twilight. “Oh, yeah, I called you over earlier, didn’t I?” Twilight remembered. “Its that i need a potion from Zecora but she needed Zap apple jam, and when she finished I need some bird feathers from Fluttershy, but I also needed a certain fabric from Rarity.” Twilight explains, “I needed all these supplies to fix a spell that I failed this morning.” Twilight finishes. Ice remembers what disastrous effects of unicorn magic. She has a reminder everyday in the mirror. “How bad was it?” Ice asked. “Not as bad as what happened to you Ice.” Twilight remarked. “Well, I kind of need your help right now.” Ice said with a small smile. “What is it?” Twilight asked with a soft grin. “Two things could you heal my wing, I think its broken, and could you teleport me to Fluttershy’s doorstep.” Ice requested. “Sure thing.” Twilight answered with a smile. Twilight performed the simple spells and went off to repair her spell’s damage.
Ice arrived at Fluttershy’s doorstep and was still dizzy from the teleportation. She knocked on the door of Fluttershy’s cottage, Fluttershy opened the door and welcomed her in. They walked to the guest bedroom where everything was set up for them. “Now you said you wanted to talk to me about something that happened in your past.” Fluttershy remarked, remembering why Ice had called the meeting in the first place. “Yes, It happened 7 months ago...

The change

Icefire sat up in his cloud bed, and shook his head. He had just woken up from a deep sleep, which didn’t refresh him at all. It was because of a nightmare- a recurring nightmare, to be exact. Almost every time he went to sleep, he would dream that he had become a mare. He shuddered- the thought of him becoming a female pony scared him. A lot. A loud, obnoxious beeping began to sound, one that always got his attention, started to sound. He looked over to his alarm clock, which had a sticky note attached to it that stated that he needed to look over to his calendar. Looking over to the calendar, he read that he had a meeting with Twilight Sparkle today. He grinned- Twilight was a very good friend of his, one whom he had known since he was little. Rolling out of bed, he stretched and began to prepare for their meeting.
Later, he raised his hoof to the door of the library. Before he could make a connection, Spike opened the door. “Hiya Icefire!” the purple baby dragon exclaimed happily. Ice laughed. “Hey-o, Spike. Is Twilight here?” Spike nodded. “Come on in!” Ice followed the dragon inside, where he met Twilight, who was, as usual, reading a book. “Ahem.” Twilight looked up. “Oh, hey Icefire! Thanks for bringing him in, Spike!” Spike nodded, and left the room. “What did you need to talk to me about, Twi?” Icefire asked. Twilight looked down at her book, spun it around, and pointed to a certain spell. “This is what I wanted to talk to you about.” Icefire squinted at the book. “I.... can’t read this. The print is too small. What is it?” Twilight giggled. “It’s just a little spell- nothing really major. Will you help me out? Plllleeeaaasssseee?” Twilight pulled the puppy eyes on Ice. He shook his head. “I’m not saying yes until you tell me what the spell is. I wouldn’t know what I would be getting myself into if I said yes.” Twilight pouted. “But you can trust me! I’m your friend!” Ice shook his head. “Sorry, Twi. Tell me what the spell is, and maybe I’ll say yes.” Twilight shook her head again. “No. I want it to be a surprise! Please do it? Pretty please?” She pulled the puppy eyes again. Ice bit his lip, his will breaking. After a moment, he shook his head. “No, Twi. Sorry.” Twilight pouted. “Fine.” Ice sighed. “I gotta go. See ya later, Twi.” He let himself out.
A few days later, Ice was seated at the counter of Sugarcube Corner, nibbling on a vanilla cupcake. Pinkie hopped over to Ice, and grinned. “Hiya Icefire! How are you? What’s up? You look sad. Why do you look sad? Nopony should ever be sad!” Pinkie kept talking, and Ice gave her a look. Her hair deflated. “Sorry, Ice. Really, what’s wrong?” Ice sighed. “Twilight and I haven’t been talking very much. I’m not that upset, it’s just really weird, not talking to her.” Pinkie’s hair poofed back up. “You could talk to me! I love making new friends and talking!” Ice laughed. “Thank you for the thought, Pinkie, but it’s just not the same. I appreciate it. But, if you could put a word in for Twilight from me that I would like to keep talking to her, that would be awesome.” Pinkie nodded. “I sure will! Do you want another cupcake?” Ice grinned, and nodded. “Sure! Can I get one with rainbow icing?” (REFERENCE!!!!1!!!)
Later, Ice made a stop at the library, hoping to talk to Twilight. He knocked on the door, but didn’t get a response. Letting himself in, Ice noticed the library was unusually... dark. And cold. “Twilight? Spike?” There was no answer. The white pegasus lit a candle, and began to look around. Soon, he noticed a small pastry- a cupcake- on a table, with a note underneath it. Ice cocked his head, put down the candle, and read the note.
‘Icefire,
I’m sorry about the way I acted before when asking you to let me test out that spell. I should have told you what it was. Anyways, I’m sorry again, and as a peace offering, here is a cupcake that Derpy has made, especially for you. I would have made one, but... you know how talented I am at baking. Hahaha. Anyway, I hope you forgive me, and enjoy this!
~Twilight Sparkle’
Ice looked at the note suspiciously. This didn’t seem like something Twilight would normally do. Usually, she would apologize in person. And how did she know that he would find the note? Ice raised an eyebrow, and shook his head. There was no use worrying about this- Twilight would explain soon enough. Besides, there was a free cupcake! He couldn’t turn that down. Icefire took a big bite of the sweet, chewed, and swallowed. After a minute, his vision began to blur. “What the...” Ice never got to finish his sentence. His eyes fluttered closed, and he fell to the ground, passed out. The cupcake where Ice had taken a bite began to glow bright pink/purple, the same color as Twilight’s horn when she casts a spell.
A few hours later, Ice opened his eyes. He blinked multiple times, trying to remember where he was. When he remembered he was at Twilight’s, he stood up. He would have walked right out of the library, but he didn’t. He felt... different. Weird different. Picking up the candle he had before, which was now mostly a nub, he walked around, trying to find a mirror. After a few minutes searching, he finally found one hanging between a few bookshelves. Ice put the candle down on a coffee table next to the mirror, and took a look at himself. His eyes widened, and he opened his mouth to scream. And scream he did.
“TWILIGHT SPARKLE! WHAT THE BUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!?”
What Ice saw in the mirror wasn’t him. Well, it was, but different. Very very different.

He was a mare now.

“TWILIGHT SPARKLE. WHERE THE BUCK ARE YOU?!” Ice screamed, looking around the library. Then he (or should I say she?) heard something coming from the basement, “And then the Daring Doo rushed to grab the Goblin’s Goblet!” Twilight read aloud. Ice kicked open the door, and flew down the stairs. She came to a short stop, folding her wings in tightly when she was close to Twilight and Spike. “TWILIGHT. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!” Ice spun around quickly, showing that he had turned into a she. Twilight giggled, and Spike was gaping. “I see you found the cupcake! How was it?”
Ice glared at the purple unicorn. “How was the cupcake? Well it tasted like strawberry. But that’s besides the point! You turned me into a bucking mare! Why would you ask about a cupcake, when...” Then it hit him (her) “You enchanted the cupcake!?!?!?! Now I’ll never be able to eat one ever again.” Twilight rolled her eyes. “Oh, relax. You’ve helped me with a spell- now I have to help you with something!” She smiled. Icefire glared.”Alright. How about you help me with getting this spell off?!?” Twilight shook her head. “Anything besides that. I can’t take the spell off of you right after it was casted- if I do, either it may become permanent, or I could screw it up and potentially harm you.” She scratched the back of her head. Ice raised an eyebrow. “If you do harm me, how bad would it be?” Twilight’s eyes widened. “No. I am not taking that chance.” Ice pouted. “Ppppppppppllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssseeeeeeeeeee?” Twilight shook her head. “No, sorry. I’m not about to do that.” Ice pouted again. “Fine!” She turned, and ran up the stairs, up into the main room, and out of the library. How am I going to act like a mare? Ice asked himself. “Spike!” Ice shouted up the stairs. “Coming!” Spike rushed down the stairs. “What do you need Twi-” Spike realised it wasn’t Twilight. “Ice is that you?” Spike asked skeptically. “Yes it is,” Ice responded. “Twilight turned me into a mare and...” Ice hit Spike to knock him out of his trance. “Spike! I’m still a stallion inside!” Ice couldn’t help but blush though. Oh my Celestia, I have overactive emotions, definitely going to get Twilight back for this. “Sorry Ice it's that you’re just so beautiful, here look.” Spike handed Ice a mirror, She realised that she did look rather beautiful. “I guess I am.” Ice would’ve asked a mare out that looked like this, but she had her sights on another pony. “You challenge Rarity with your beauty, but since I know you’re a stallion. She still wins.” Spike admitted. “Thank you...?” Ice chuckled awkwardly. “Anyway, do you know the book that has the counter spell for this?” Ice asked, a pleading look in her eyes. Spike shook his head. “Sorry, Ice. I don’t. Twilight does, but she doesn’t let me go near it.” Ice sighed. “Dang it. Thanks, though. I think I’ll leave, let her calm down. Maybe then she’ll switch me back.” Spike nodded. “Good idea. See ya, Ice.” The baby dragon winked. Ice laughed, and noogied him. “Sorry, dude. You’re too young for me. See ya.” With that, Ice flew out of the library, and out into town.
A few days later, Ice sat on top of a few clouds, just overlooking the ponies below. She felt someone land next to her. Looking over, she saw a cyan blue pegasus with a rainbow mane. “Hey there, stranger. You look new to Ponyville! I’m Rainbow Dash. What’s your name?” Ice sighed. “Rainbow, it’s me. It’s Icefire.” Rainbow raised an eyebrow. “Ice? What in the good name of Celestia happened to you?” Ice sighed again. “Let’s just say that because of Twilight, I can’t eat another cupcake again.” Rainbow kept her eyebrow raised. “Alright.... Hopefully you don’t re-meet Pink-” She couldn’t finish her sentence. There was a loud gasp from below that kept Rainbow from finishing. “YOU CAN’T EAT CUPCAKES ANYMORE?! WHAT CAUSED THIS CRIME?!?” Less than a minute later, Pinke was up next to the two pegasi, on her flying bike. “Oh, hi Pin-” “Oh, hi there new friend! I’m Pinkie Pie! I see you’ve met Rainbow Dash! I’m going to-” “PINKIE. It’s me! Icefire! Calm down!” Pinkie laughed. “You’re not Icefire, you silly! Icefire is a stallion! You’re a mare!” Ice shook her head. “I got changed into a mare. Because of a cupcake.” Pinkie gasped again. “A cupcake caused this? Impossible! Unless it was a magic cupcake! Then who would use a magic cupcake like that on you?” Ice gave Pinkie a look. “Someone that you know. (Now you’re just somepony that I used to know!)” Pinkie returned Ice’s look. “Okie dokie lokie....” She started to float back down. “Come to Sugarcube Corner! Then you’ll eat another cupcake! Ours aren’t magic! They’re just delicious!” Her voice was decrescendoing the more she talked, until her voice couldn’t be heard. Rainbow laughed. “Well, the hyperest part of reintroducing is over now. It should be calmer and less sugary-induced now.” Ice laughed. “Agreed.”
Later, Ice went around, and re-introduced herself to the others. That way, she wouldn’t have to deal with all the drama later. The responses she got were different- Applejack welcomed her the same way she did when she first met Icefire, Rarity insisted on making her a new outfit, and Fluttershy shyed away from her, then warmed up to Ice more than when she was a stallion. But, the responses were to be expected. Ice was just happy to get that out of the way.

“And that’s what I wanted to talk to you about, Fluttershy.” Icefire said, finishing up her story. “Oh I never would have guessed that’s what happened.” Fluttershy stated. “I feel sorry for you, it must be painful to live as a different gender.” While Fluttershy was wondering what it would be like to be a stallion, Ice was walking to the door. “I’ll see you Wednesday!” Ice reminded her about their appointment. “Okay see you then!” Fluttershy shouted quietly.

Meeting somepony new

Ice walked out of her friend’s cottage, and stretched her wings. She shot up high into the altitude, just enjoying the feeling of being up high. She flew to Twilight’s Treehouse, she had a book that Ice wanted. When Ice got there she knocked on the door. She heard from inside “Ugh, who could it be at this hour?” Twilight opened the door and saw it was Ice “Oh, Hi Ice. I was expecting you earlier.” Twilight said with an undertone of annoyance. “Sorry my appointment with Fluttershy took longer than expected.” Ice stated. “What were you talking about that took three hours longer than scheduled?” Twilight asked. “We talked a little of my past.” Ice said shyly. “What part of your past” Twilight asked intrigued Twilight sure is getting a little annoying with these questions, Ice thought. “Parts.” Ice said, That should stop her, It has before. “Oh, I guess I should stop pushing.” Twilight said a little down. “Anyway, ‘Flying High’ is over there, it’s a very interesting choice.” Ice nodded “Yeah thanks I really needed this for what I’m studying.” Ice added with a smile. “Why are you studying this?” Twilight asked with wonder. Twilight shut up! Ice thought to himself. “I thought you were already the highest flyer in Ponyville.” Ice chuckled. “Just trying to protect my title. Thanks, Twi. I’ll see ya later.”
After reading through the book a few times (it was a short book- nopony had ever gotten as high as Ice was planning), Ice grinned to herself. She was ready. “Okay, Ice. You can do this. Let’s go.” Before Ice could even open her wings, Rainbow Dash landed beside her. “Hey! Whatcha doin’?” Ice turned to face her. “Oh, hey. Just trying to fly... high, for lack of a better word.” Rainbow nodded. “Wanna turn this into a competition?” Ice cocked her head. “Explain.” Rainbow grinned. “We try to fly as high and as fast as we can, possibly breaking the sound barrier. If one of us does, the other has to.... we’ll decide that after. You wanna?” Ice grinned wickedly. “Of course.” She got into a ready stance. “Ready?” Rainbow copied her pose. “If you are. Ready... Set..... GO!!” Rainbow shot off, with Ice not even a nose behind her. ‘Come on, girl! You can do this! Faster! FASTER!’ Ice was screaming at herself in her mind. She pulled ahead of Rainbow, a grin on her face. “Come on, Dash! Is that all you got?” Ice pulled ahead a full body length, laughing. She blinked, and when her eyes opened, Rainbow was ahead. “Not even close!” The blue pony called back. “Check this out!” Ice stopped as Dash... broke the sound barrier. She did it. She actually performed a Sonic Rainboom. This was the first time Ice had seen this, so she was in a state of shock. ‘Wow. She’s beautiful....’ ‘Hold up! Where did THAT thought come from?!?’ That grace... Seriously umm me stop that! Stop what? You didn’t think Rainbow was beautiful before. Well you haven’t seen a sonic rainboom until today. You are correct, but that doesn’t make her any more beautiful than before, just... faster. Well do you see the way the sun shone off her mane and body? What about the way her wings moved? What about... How fast she’s going I mean how fast can that be and how is she still flying that fast? Who cares about going fast? Did you see how aerodynamic she is? The way she cuts through the air? The way she’s.... TURNING AROUND AND COMING TOWARDS ME RIGHT NOW. CCRAPPPPP!!!!!!!!! ABANDON THOUGHTS! ABANDON THOUGHTS! Well we did forget to fly for like 20 seconds there while pondering this. FLY, CELESTIA DANG IT. FLAP!!!!!! Dude chill I got this. Ice turned over and saw the ground about 200 feet below her. Your plan is to divebomb?! You’re nuts! Just fly up to her! Don’t risk hurting yourself!! Even if she catches you... I got this just stop bothering me! I am the new female part of your brain. Until you get turned back, you’re stuck with me, dude. I’m not going anywhere. Ice blocked as much as he could of his “sacred” feminine side of his brain. It’s sort of effective.
Rainbow waved her hoof in front of Ice’s face. “Umm, hello? Equestria to Ice? Dude. DUDE! WAKE UP!” Ice jumped, and dropped a few feet. “Ohh, sorry. Zoned out there for a sec.” Ice shook her head. Why, brain? Why did you get another part? Feminine mind comes with a feminine body. Deal with it. Ice grabbed her head with her hoofs. “GAHH!” Rainbow raised a worried eyebrow. “You alright?” Ice nodded. “Yeah, sorry. Just.. have a headache.”
Look into her eyes! Look into her eyes! NO! Yes! NO! Yes! NO! GO BUCK YOURSELF! Don’t you talk to me like that! “SHUT UP!” Ice shouted. “Woah, I wasn’t even talking dude.” Rainbow was startled. Smooth going, idiot. Now you just screwed this whole conversation up! Well maybe I didn’t want this conversation anyway! You know you like Rainbow. Don’t deny it. Why wouldn’t you want a conversation with a pony you like?! That thought is blasphemy! TO THE STAKE WITH YOU! “JUST SHUT UP!” Ice shouted. “GAH!” Ice fought out of Rainbow’s grip and flew as fast away as he could. Step One: Denial. Check. Step Two: Regret. Step Three: Wishing You Were Near Them 24/7. Step Four: Finally Coming To Your Senses and Admitting You Like Said Pony. We should be at step four in a few days. Who are you Twilight?! No. As I said- I am the feminine part of your brain. I know this stuff, dude. Trust me. These are the steps. Want to know something? You’re getting on my nerves and making me look insane in front of my boss! Ohh! Boss and Coworker! Me likey! But, anyway, really. I apologize. If you think this is bad, try being a full-blown mare. Being meant to be a mare. All the time. I’d rather not, anyway I didn’t ask for you but I’m gonna have to get used to you huh? Yes. So, if you wanna land the girl, listen to me! You need to stop making your love stories and please look at it from my point of view. Alright then, Mr. Grouchy Pants. What IS your point of view? I’ve lived my whole life up until this point having no feelings for Rainbow, then you barge in and change everything in my brain making me look insane to my boss, also I just landed this job because Rainbow thought I could handle it and fly high all the time to clear the skies and make it snow. First, I haven’t changed anything. You’ve felt this way, I’m just bringing it to the surface. And dude. If you think you acting like this is crazy, imagine mares having to do this. All the time. I have a feeling you’re mistaking gratefulness for love, I’m grateful to have her take me away from my boring desk job. Also you’re also wrong on another topic regarding love, I used to have a crush on AppleJack. Just wait. You’ll see I’m right soon enough. Until then, I can wait. I know I’m right. And with the AJ thing- keyword was that you HAD a crush. Past-tense. In the past. Not today. Yeah It somehow died down when I turned into a mare because I thought of it as Filly-fooling. So that’s why I had it in the past tense. You don’t now, and now you can accept your true feelings! Of what? Filly-fooling!? Everyone is gonna make fun of us and you call that romance? What the buck is wrong with you? You’re asking for it, dude. If you’re that worried about being a filly-fooler, you wouldn’t even be one! Technically, you’re a stallion! It’s not homosexuality! Plus, THERE IS NOTHING BUCKING WRONG WITH BEING A FILLY-FOOLER, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT. PONIES WHO ARE HAVE NO CHOICE- THEY ARE BORN THAT WAY. Love knows no gender, age, race, ethnicity, or anything like that! Jeez, I was thinking a little wrong I do that a lot when I’m frustrated. I-I-I’m sorry. No, I’m sorry for snapping. I shouldn’t have. I apologize. But I’m the one who brought it up in the first place, wait I’m not having this conversation with myself. I guess I accept now that you’re a part of me now and you have a totally different point of view. Apology accepted. Thank you. Watch out! Ice slammed into the side of his cloud house. You okay dude? Happened before. So I think we should like, you know, MOVE! With that Ice removed his head from his wall. Ice opened the door and walked in to go to bed. Night, umm self? You need a name! Ermm.... Just call me.... Snow. Call me Snow. Again, sorry about before. I think I know a Snow, but not a really good friendship, more of an acquaintance. So I guess, night Snow. ‘Night Ice.

While Ice was sleeping something else was happening somewhere else in Ponyville, “Man what’s up with Ice today?” Rainbow thought to herself.

Rainbow's search

Rainbow was flying home and she couldn’t help but think about her new friend IceFire. What was up with her? She kept yelling at me? No not me, someone else, but who? “I’ll ask her tomorrow.” Rainbow arrived at her cloud house and retired for the night.

Rainbow woke up early for once. Ice was scheduled for this morning and she hoped to not miss her. She looked out her window “Yup, still cloudy. Good” Rainbow ate some cereal and drank some apple juice. “Better go talk to her.” She flew out of her house and looked for her. She found him and started flying towards her. “Hey Ice!” Rainbow shouted. Ice looked up at the cyan pegasus. “NO!” Ice shouted and darted off. “That was weird.” Rainbow remarked. “Umm good work everypony!” Rainbow nervously said, noticing all the pegasi staring at her. She went to talk to Pinkie, That pony knows where anypony is. Rainbow arrived at Sugar Cube Corner. She walked in and both ponies in question were there. “Hiya Dashie!” Pinkie shouted. “Wha- NO NOT AGAIN!” Ice dropped like 30 bits on the table and zoomed out a window, breaking it in the process. “That was weird, but whatever, I GOT A TIP!” Pinkie shouted. “Oh no you didn’t that money goes towards a new window.” Mrs. Cake explained. “Dang! Anyway why are you here Dash?” Pinkie asked. “Oh you know I needed to talk to Ice.” Rainbow explained cautiously. Sensing that Rainbow didn’t come for her Pinkie started to get sad. “But we can hang out after I’m done!” Rainbow said cheerfully. “Oki Doki Loki!” Pinkie was ecstatic, bouncing everywhere. “See ya later Dash!”

Well Ice could be anywhere by now, Rainbow thought. Great. Rainbow looked around herself. Maybe Fluttershy knew where Ice was. When Rainbow arrived she heard some talking, and she knew if she barged in Ice would shout and Fluttershy would be scared.

************

“So, Ice what couldn’t wait until tomorrow’s appointment?” Fluttershy asked Ice. “Well its not really in my past. Its more recent, like last night recent.” Ice responded. “Really? What happened?” Fluttershy asked, tilting her head to the side. “Well you know how I told you how Twilight turned me into a mare?” Ice asked. Fluttershy nodded. “Well something came with the transformation, another me.” Ice stated. “Well, when me and Rainbow were having a little race. That part of me was remarking how beautiful she was while flying.” Rainbow blushed. “I didn’t get any of those kind of feelings before my other me, which I’ll refer to as Snow, said that I had these feelings before and that she’s just bringing them up to me.” Ice said shyly. “Oh, I never would’ve thought that you would like Rainbow, if anyone I thought it would be Twilight,” Fluttershy admitted. “I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, and I have come to the same conclusion as Snow, I have a crush on Rainbow Dash.” Ice said proudly. I hate to say it, but, I told ya so! Shut up! Rainbow who was already blushing, blushed even more. “Well Fluttershy I have to go.” Ice said with a smile. “Oh, yes, goodbye.” Fluttershy said returning the smile. Rainbow was so shocked about the story that she forgot to fly away, as Ice opened the door she bumped into her. Ice figured it was unavoidable so she came out and said it. “Rainbow I-I have a crush on you!” Ice blushed. Rainbow never had anypony tell her that and she didn’t know how to react, so she reacted the only way that came to her mind. “Oh. Well, ermmm.... bye!” Rainbow zipped out of Fluttershy’s cottage, and up high into the sky. ‘That was awkward, that was awkward, that was awkward!’ Rainbow repeated in her head.

Recovery

Hey Snow! You’re whole just outright tell Rainbow scheme didn’t work. Well maybe she didn’t know how to react and she just... She doesn’t feel anything for me. Ice was sitting in her cloud home, where she was sitting in her bed crying. You’ve been crying for 10 minutes you’re better than this! Hey! You’ve been through a lot! You deserve a small break from being tough. You can’t keep emotions like this bottled up, or you will go insane. Thanks. No problem. After a few more minutes Ice collected herself and flew to Twilight’s. She didn’t know why she chose Twi’s but she did anyway. She burst through the treehouse’s door. Spike jumped and hiccuped, sending Celestia a blank piece of paper. “What’s the rush Ice?” Spike asked. He didn’t see the slight discoloration around Ice’s eyes or the tears Ice was fighting back. “Get Twi” Ice could barely get out before bursting into tears. “Twilight!” Spike shouted up the stairs. “Coming!” Twilight shouted from upstairs, Ice also her say something to someone who was also up there. Ice heard some flapping wings and a shadow streak across the sky, Rainbow, Rainbow had also come to Twilight’s treehouse. “Oh hi Ice, You came here after umm talking to somepony didn’t you?” Twilight asked. “Yes.” Ice replied softly and slowly. Twilight picking up on just how sad Ice was, she sent Spike to get Fluttershy but Ice stopped Spike and instead told him to go talk to Rarity and to come back in about an hour. Spike left with a big grin on his face. “That bad huh?” Twilight asked nicely. “Worse.” Ice just couldn’t hold back the tears anymore, she burst into tears for the second time in an hour, she could tell it wasn’t going to be the last. Twilight tried as much as she could to comfort the weeping pony, but with no prevail. After a while Ice regained her composure, she retold what she told Fluttershy, and then how the confrontation went from her view. “I can’t help you. But I know what will make you happier!” Twilight ended with a big smile. “Nothing is going to make me happier.” Ice said depressed. Twilight would not stand for this. “That’s no way to talk!” She’s right you know. Oh shut it! I know you’ve been right about a lot of things but- But what? Nothing... See! Told you! Now what makes you happy? A lot of things. Specifics! Well flying high without a care in the world. Okay. Anything else? If not, you might resort to junk food. A lot of junk food. I won’t do that, I’ve only had junk food once and I hated it. Okay... Well, just a word of warning. Some of the stuff you might do while your hormones are going crazy. You’d be amazed at some things that some ponies do. For instance, when Pinkie gets depressed she stops being hyper and her hair deflates. Doubt that, Pinkie is always hyper no matter what. Funny. Nopony is happy all the time. Ever. It’s impossible. You must be new here, Pinkie is ALWAYS smiling, hyper, bouncing all over the place, and she’s always happy. Have you SEEN her when she’s had a bad day?! Her hair gets all flat, her irises get all small, she gets this crazy look in her eyes, and it’s just scary! How do you know this? I’ve never seen it, and we possess the same eyes. I’ve been a lot of places. What, you think you’re the only pony who hears a voice like me? Sorry, kid, but you’re not that special. So you’re saying that you’ve been in everypony’s head?! How? Not in everypony’s head. You could say that... I’m kind of like the little voice everypony hears in their head when they think. You know, how sometimes ponies think in the first or third person? Yeah, the voice they hear is me. Dude, that’s a little creepy. But so now you’re stuck with me? Well, your case is kind of weird. Some- keyword some- mares hear me, but it’s edited so it’s them that’s thinking. I’m just the general idea for the thought process, if that makes any sense. I’m the female version of you. But, since you transformed, you still have the stallion voice, which is dominate. I’m still confused but we can talk about this in more detail later. I think Twilight’s almost done talking. Okay. Thank goodness- I was starting to confuse myself. “-and that’s what I’ll do to cheer you up Ice.” Ice cocked her head at Twilight. “Oh, okay. Thanks.” Twilight squinted at Ice. “You didn’t hear a word I just said, did you?” Ice laughed. “What are you talking about? Of course I did!” Twilight might be bad at picking up lies but she saw right through that. She sighed, and opened the library door. “Come on. We’re going to cheer you up.”

They walked through town, stopped at Sugar Cube Corner for some rainbow cupcakes and ice cream, Ice found the wording of the things ironic. They went to Sweet Apple Acres to get some apple cider before anypony else. Applejack refused at first, but after hearing the story she let them. Twilight brought her next to Rarity’s Boutique, Ice was humiliated but Snow loved it. I wish I was a real pony! This is soo pretty! Try it on! Try it on! That would be so humiliating! Somehow Snow gained control over Ice’s bodily functions. “I want to try that on!” What are you doing and why can’t I move my body? Oh, relax. It’s not permanent. I just want to try this on! Whatever... “Are you sure Ice? I still know you’re a stallion at heart you know.” Rarity was wondering why Ice’s posture, expression, and excitement went up. “Yes! One hundred percent yes!” Ice was bouncing up and down with excitement. Twilight laughed. “Just let her try it on! She’ll calm down then.” Rarity also chuckled, “Okay dear, here.” Rarity handed Ice the dress. Don’t you think that I look lovely in this? Yeah, It sure hugs the body... Too much for my tastes. Beauty is pain, darling. Suck in your breath. You’re in control remember? Oh, right! There! What do you think? You look- beautiful. If we weren’t the same pony, I would blush. Thank you! Now let’s get out of this- you must not be enjoying being in a dress. You think? “Darling you look absolutely marvelous! Because of your situation, you can have it for two bits!” Rarity exclaimed. “Two bits? But it says twenty bits on the tag.” Twilight pointed out. “Twilight dear, I’m being generous!” Rarity explained. Ice felt a little guilty about it so she left ten bits on the counter and walked out with Twilight. Thank you so so so so so so so so so so so much! I love it! No problem. Uhh, could I have my body back? Oh, sure! Sorry! Ice regained control of his body and the changes were the same but in reverse. They were obvious enough that Twilight noticed it “Umm, Ice why did your posture change?” Uh oh! I got this! “I am? Well, it must be because... this bag! It’s kind of hard to carry like this.” Ice turned her head, and placed the bag with the dress into her saddle bag. “Ahh. So much better!” Ice came up with. “Really, that dress weighs like a pound! Tell me the real reason!” Cough up the truth. Buck! Uhh... Ice took Snow’s place. “Well when you transformed me into a mare, this umm, other me came with it. And she can take over my bodily functions and walk around as me and I can see the whole thing happening before my eyes. Does that make any sense?” Twilight raised an eyebrow. “Kinda... Well, it’s understandable.” Thank Celestia that worked! “Where to now Twilight?” Twilight smiled. “I was thinking we could just go back to the library and relax.” “I’m okay with that.” Ice returned the smile.

They walked back to the treehouse but Ice noticed a cloud that seemed to follow them. Ice regarded it as the wind. What she didn’t know was the pony on top of the cloud. “Why did you ever shut her down?” Rainbow asked herself. Before she could come up with a reason a little voice appeared in her head. Shyness?You shouldn’t have. “Huh? Who said that?” Rainbow said. Just the little voice in your head. “Why are you in there?” Rainbow asked. I come to those of guilty minds, or sad. I’m here to cheer you up! “Okay what do you suggest?”
