My Little Pony:
Gender is Magic

A Friend in Need Pt. 1

Fluttershy’s day had just been lovely. She had fed and cared for her woodland friends all morning and was now headed to Twilight’s library to find a good story book to read to the little ones later on.

As she approached the front door of the library slammed and a crying Spike stormed out giving her an awful glare on his way by.

“Meep!” Fluttershy squeaked as she backed away a bit. A horrible noise caught her attention as she neared an open window, the kind of feral howl one of her wild beasts would make. At first Fluttershy’s instinct was to get far away but then, she thought, if there was a creature in pain she couldn’t rightly leave it alone.

“Hello?” She said in a near whisper, “Um, is everything alright?” She fluttered up a little to see in through the window the sight that greeted her was not that of an injured animal but of her friend Twilight.

“Twilight?” She called out the horrible howl broke off mid stream but Twilight’s curled up body still shook with silent sobs.

“ I’m - erm- I’m coming in!” She floated through the open window and gently landed on the floor. Twilight raised his head and locked his hollow eyes onto the nervous Fluttershy. A gasp escaped Fluttershy’s muzzle, Twilight looked as though a piece of them had died. She all but ran to Twilight and pulled him into a gentle hug.

“Spike! Sp-Spike!” Twilight cried.

“Shh,” Fluttershy muttered, “Everything will be alright.” She reached up to stroke his mane and her hand found much less then there should have been.

Fluttershy’s eyes popped wide open. ‘Why would she cut her beautiful mane?’ She thought.

“Twilight?” Fluttershy murmured in concern. “Why did you cut your mane? What happened with Spike?”

“I told him,” Twilight laughed hollowly and put his head in his hands, “I told him…”

“Erm, uh, wh-what did you tell him Twilight?” Beginning to be terrified of the answer. ‘It couldn’t be the same as me. No one who has a good life would risk it.’ Twilight looked up and laughed again, harshly this time.

“Everything. I told him exactly who I am.”
