My Little Pony: Gender is Magic

My Little Pony:
Gender is Magic

Twilight Shine Pt. 4

Twilight stood thinking for a long moment.

“Spike,” Twilight said softly, “I raised you like I would a pony and through that you’ve become a fine dragon. Even though you were raised differently you don’t have to fight to be seen as yourself because ponies can look at you and see you’re a dragon.

"Sometimes somepony’s bodies don’t match their hearts and we have to fight to make other ponies see our inside as our outside. It’s called being transgender. My body can be changed, it’s just going to take a lot more time and effort than most ponies have to go through.”

Spike was leaning against the wall picking his nose. It had gone quiet for a good minute before Twilight waved to get his attention.

“Huh?” Spike grunted.

“Weren’t you listening at all?” Twilight said, feeling slightly irritated. Spike always did this during important speeches.

“Why?” Spike snapped, “You’re my mother, Twilight Sparkle, that’s all you’ll ever be to me.”

Twilight was stunned, Spike had never called him his mother before. Mostly Twilight had thought of Spike as a little brother who happened to be solely in his care.

“Spike-”

“YOU’RE MY MOTHER TWILIGHT!”
