Prologue: Introductions

"Wow...we got a bigger turnout than I was expecting..." Sweetie Belle mumbled. Scootaloo simply chuckled, leaning back in her chair.

"Aw come on Belle. I told you this club was a good idea!" She gloated, grunting as Applebloom smacked her with a rolled up pamphlet.

"Alright, calm down ya ninny. Lets get things underway already." Applebloom said, clearing her throat and turning to the students gathered in their club room.

"Welcome to The Special Individuals Club!" the three said together, the room clapping. Scootaloo beamed, crossing her arms and winking at Sweetie Belle. With a gulp she took a step forward, smiling to the students gathered there.

"Hello everyone. My name is Sweetie Belle. I am your Club President, I hope we can all have a wonderful year together and hope to see many of you return to our club next year" She said, managing to get through her lines without stammering. Applebloom stepped forward, waving to the students.

"Ah'm Applebloom, ah'm in charge of important stuff like numbers and schedules. If ya can't make it t' th' club, jus' lemme know and we'll work somethin' out." She grinned, giving them a thumbs up. Scootaloo was next, standing up proudly.

"And I'm Scootaloo, your Vice-President. If someone tries to bully you for being different, you come to me and Belle. I'll beat em up for ya." Scootaloo winked.

"And I will make sure Scootaloo doesn't hurt anyone...we'll handle the situation like the adults we are thank you very much." Sweetie Belle added, clearing her throat.

"Now, ah know a lot of ya don't really know what this club is about. So we'll explain." Applebloom flicked off the lights, a projector turning on to present a slide show.

"As kids, we found out a lot about the world and the crazy things that can happen. As you know, we are related to the Elements of Harmony and they aren't exactly normal people." Sweetie Belle began.

"But that don't matter none. They are proud of who they are an so are we!" Applebloom added.

"But there are tons of people...people like us, like all of you, who are different and are treated differently because of it..." Scootaloo tossed in.

"And so we made this club, to make a safe heaven for everyone to be who they really are!" Sweetie Belle finished.

"Well, what makes you three so different? You're the Element of Harmony kids, aren't you really popular?" one girl asked, flipping her hair out of her face.

"Well Applebloom is popular cause of her tits and Belle is pretty sexy. Me? I'm just the odd one out." Scootaloo shrugged, her friends glaring at her.

"Fer th' record, we ain't popular cause of any of that an ah wouldn't consider us popular or care t' be popular. Popular kids get th' world handed t' em on a platter an ain't never gotta do nothin' fer themselves. When they get out in th' real world, they ain't ready for it."

"I agree, it is better to work hard and earn your way rather than have things just given to you. But I believe we should explain further about this club. You see, we aren't normal individuals either." Sweetie Belle smiled. She turned, nodding to Scootaloo. The Skyborn grinned, cracking her knuckles and popping her neck. She threw out her arms, her entire form crackling with magical energy as her wings spread out wide, the class watching with wide eyes. Applebloom adjusted her glasses, Chaos Magic sparking across her body. Sweetie Belle giggled, flicking the lights on as the magic faded from her friends.

"You see, we are very different." Sweetie Belle said softly as she walked through the crowd.

"I was born with a pretty bad disease that was gonna kill me. It took my parents away from me and if not for my Foster parents, I'd be dead too. The cure was a little weird, but in the end I learned to use magic like my Foster Mom and the other taught me to fly." Scootaloo chuckled.

"As fer me, my ma was a Gaian, but my pa was a Chaotician." Applebloom said softly.

"Ya'll might've heard 'bout Chaotician's. How they are evil an terrible. Ah've had t' deal with a lot in life cause of my pops. But Ah assure ya, ah ain't like what ya heard. Th' Princess herself taught me t' control my abilities alongside th' Elements of Harmony. But ah'm still bound t' th' Chaos an so ah stand out. But ah'm proud of who ah am." Applebloom smiled, blinking as Sweetie Belle hugged her. Scootaloo chuckled again, clearing her throat.

"Alright Belle, it's your turn." Scootaloo said softly. Sweetie Belle took a shaky breath, smoothing out her skirt as she stood in the center of the room.

"My name is Sweetie Dalia Belle Filigree. And I am a Vampire." She said softly, the room bursting into laughter. Scootaloo stepped up beside her, tilting her head to the side and revealing bite marks. Sweetie Belle blushed bright red, covering her mouth as her fangs sprouted out on instinct.

"It's true everyone. Ever since we were little I've donated my blood to her. You might think she is lying, that it is just some kind of joke, or that she is trying to scare you. But she is more scared of what she is than you are." Scootaloo spoke up, holding up her hand to Sweetie Belle.

"Scoots, I-I don't think..."

"Belle, just a nibble, your eyes are changing." Scootaloo said under her breath. Sweetie Belle blushed harder, accepting Scootaloo's hand and gently digging her fangs into her friends flesh, suckling for a moment before pulling away. Applebloom handed Scootaloo a roll of bandages, the Skyborn rolling them around her hand as a bit of blood trickled down.

"W-Why the heck is a vampire allowed here?!" a student yelled.

"The same reason you are allowed here. Because she is a person just like us!" Scootaloo yelled, the crowd of students murmuring to themselves. A girl gulped, taking a step forward and gripping her skirt.

"I-I'd like to join the club. Y-You said it is a safe place right? T-To be ourselves?" she stammered. Applebloom smiled, giving a nod to her.

"Yes, no matter who ya are. If you are like me or Scootaloo, this is a safe place t' practice magic, or just to talk and be free. If you are like Belle, it is a safe place to spread yer wings, so t' speak."

"We already have approval from both Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, with funding from Princess Twilight Sparkle." Scootaloo added.

"That is my department." a girl spoke up as she entered the room, grinning as she marched up to the center of the room, turning to face the students.

"My name is Nyx, and I will be here to help those of you afraid of whatever abilities you have, as well as helping Applebloom manage our funding and acting as a connection to the Princess'." she smiled.

"Ugh, that was rough..." Scootaloo groaned, the room empty save for the four of them. Nyx laughed, shaking her head.

"I told you to wait to tell them about Belle." Nyx pointed out, sipping her shake. Scootaloo rolled her eyes.

"Well what about you? Why couldn't we say anything about you huh?" Scootaloo demanded.

"Because little sister, we don't need them to freak out any more than they have." Nyx answered.

"u-um, excuse me, I um...wanted to ask about the club schedule..." the girl from before spoke up from the doorway. Nyx smiled and stood, setting her shake down.

"What is your name?" She asked softly.

"Sn...uh..um..G-Glimmer Shell..." she stammered.

"Hm, as I thought. Can I call you Glimmer?" Nyx asked, Glimmer Shell nodding quickly.

"Is it rude of me to ask why you want to join our club?" Nyx continued, Glimmer gripping her skirt.

"W-Well...t-they said it was a safe place to be ourselves..." Glimmer mumbled.

"And it is. But you can't be yourself if you hide Snails." Nyx said gently, placing her hand on Glimmer's shoulder. Glimmer, or rather Snails blinked, staring up at Nyx in fear and shock.

"Y-You k-knew?" he stammered, tears in his eyes.

"I never forget a name or face. That's just who I am, just like this is who you are Glimmer." Nyx smiled.

"Wait, that girl is Snails!? But she's so pretty!" Scootaloo yelled, crying out as Sweetie Belle smacked her upside her head.

"Hm, so that's why ya'll were always so quiet. Ah think ya look good in a skirt Glimmer" Applebloom giggled, Glimmer blushing bright red.

"You...don't think I'm weird? Or a pervert?" she asked, looking around the room.

"On the contrary. I think you are rather brave to do this Glimmer. And this place will always be a safe place for you to be yourself. But we do have to write down information about our members. It is kept between us, you, and the Princess'. Are you alright with that Glimmer?" Nyx asked. Glimmer Shell looked between each of them for a moment before looking down at herself, taking a shuddering breath and nodding.

"Y-Yes. I...I want to be able to come out to everyone someday s-so this is a good first step...right?" She asked, everyone nodding agreement.

"Welcome to the club Glimmer!" they cheered.

Author's Note

This story brought to you by my spare time and the fact that I recently read through Himegoto...DON'T JUDGE ME! :fluttercry:

Chapter 1

"Okay Glimmer...you can do this!" she said to herself, stepping into the clubroom and blinking as she found only a few students in the room. There had been so many others when the club was first announced. Had they been scared off by Sweetie Belle?

I mean sure, she might be a vampire...but we were in school together for a long time before this and she never did anything weird or crazy. And Nyx is here too. I guess it kind of makes sense... she sighed to herself, realizing had she paid attention, she might've noticed the truth about them sooner. Of course, she had her own life as well. But she could benefit from paying attention to details, such as the girl standing in front of her.

"Hi Snails! Oh, I mean um, Hi Glimmer!" Dinky giggled. Glimmer sighed, hanging her head.

"Am I really that easy to recognize?" Glimmer sighed in defeat.

"Nope, I just took a shot in the dark cause I thought I recognized you. You look so pretty! How did you get your hair like that?" Dinky wondered, running her hand along Glimmer's ponytail.

"I just wash it in this special shampoo I bought and I tie it up." Glimmer admitted.

"Oh good, you've already started talking, that makes this easier." Scootaloo chuckled as she marched into the club room, plopping down in her claimed chair and leaning back.

"Sorry about Scoots, she's...well she's Scootaloo." Sweetie Belle sighed before smiling at them.

"I'm so glad you both made it. It means a lot having you here. I was worried the club wouldn't do well at all, but having you here gives me hope that we can really help people."

"Well, I-I joined because I wanted somewhere safe to be me..." Glimmer admitted.

"And that's exactly what we wanted Glimmer." Applebloom beamed, causing the Gaian to blush and return the smile.

"So...n-not to be rude but, why are you here Dinky?" Glimmer wondered. Dinky blinked and chuckled nervously.

"Uh well...you guys are the only ones that ever believed me about the Doctor...that and some other stuff..." she mumbled.

"Aw come on Dinky, that's no fair. Glimmer is all cute and dressed up and you are hiding things from her?" Scootaloo teased.

"That's enough Scootaloo. We want people to embrace who they are on their own, not force them out of their shells. We just give a gentle nudge and a safe place." Nyx said, offering their newest members a smile.

"H-Hi Nyx." Glimmer stammered.

"Nice to see you back Glimmer, just pick a seat anywhere and we'll get started on today's activities." Nyx replied, winking at Dinky who gave a salute and a blush before going to her own seat.

Does Nyx already know why Dinky is here? She has to doesn't she? We filled out those forms...which means Scootaloo knows too, and so does Applebloom and even Sweetie Belle. I guess since they are in charge they would know. I know it isn't right of me to be nosy, but I'm really curious now... Glimmer argued with herself as she took a seat.

"Alright, now, I know we are still just a small club, but we are still a club and new students could join at any time. For today we are just going to get to know one another better and talk about what makes us Special Individuals, as long as everyone is comfortable with that. Things can get a little intense in this kind of environment, So if you are uncomfortable at any time just say so, okay?" Nyx asked, everyone nodding.

"To get things going, I'll start..." Nyx cleared her throat, removing her glasses and revealing her draconic eyes.

"As you all know, my name is Nyx. I am the embodiment of Nightmare Moon, a failed experiment created to try and continue where Nightmare Moon left off. Even to this day I am still a bit at war with myself about who I really am, but I've got wonderful friends and loving parents who help me get through each day." Nyx said with a smile.

"Then why wear the glasses?" Glimmer blurted out, suddenly feeling very small as the words left her mouth.

"Because not everyone understands Glimmer. They aren't ready for something like me in this world. That is why I am here in this club...so that I can be myself out in the open." Nyx said softly, tucking the enchanted spectacles away.

"What 'bout you Glimmer? Why do ya wear th' dress?" Applebloom asked gently. Glimmer bit her lip, tapping her desk.

"Well...I just feel...free. I can't really explain it. I just was never really comfortable...the way I was before. Snips never understood, he thought I was weird for wanting this. I guess I'm still at war with who I am too..." she sighed, blinking as Nyx squeezed her shoulder.

"We'll figure that out together Glimmer. I promise." Nyx said softly. Scootaloo stood up, resting her hands on her desk.

"Guess that means it's my turn!" she beamed, sitting on her desk and crossing her legs.

"Huh...I dunno where to start really. When I was a kid, I watched my parents slowly die and was told I was next...Heh, I kinda gave up on everything then. Until this girl bumped into me one day." Scootaloo smiled, looking over at Sweetie Belle.

"She grabbed my hand, and asked if I wanted a friend. After that, I had a reason to fight. But I was fighting a losing battle." Scootaloo took a shuddering breath, clearing her throat before continuing.

"It was rough, knowing I was going to die a slow painful death and there was nothing anyone could do about it...my parents were good people damn it! They didn't deserve that!" Scootaloo screamed, shaking as Sweetie Belle hugged her tightly. Scootaloo clung to her, tears stinging her eyes.

"But then Rainbow found her and took her in. And with Princess Twilight's help, they cured her." Nyx finished for her. Sweetie Belle cradled Scootaloo, whispering soothing words to her.

"Wow...I never knew you had it so rough Scootaloo..." Dinky murmured.

"Ya can't judge a book by its cover Dinky, ah think ya'll know that better than anyone. what with yer pa an his magicky box." Applebloom smiled.

"It isn't really magic. It's science. Just far more advanced than anything we've ever created." Dinky giggled.

"Ah s'pose that's my cue t' go next hm?" Applebloom smiled, adjusting her glasses.

"Ya'll already know, but ah'm Applebloom Apple of Sweet Apple Acres. My mama and Uncle run th' farm and someday it'll be my duty t' continue where they leave off. Bein' what ah am, ain't many people lookin' t' get t' close t' me fer fear that ah'll harm em or somethin. It's left me with th' fear that ah might be th' last of the Apples...But my friends help me keep up hope that ah'll meet someone who can look beyond what ah am."

"D-Damn straight!" Scootaloo hiccuped, Sweetie Belle wiping away the last of her tears and placing a gentle kiss on her cheek.

"And th' thing 'bout Chaos...is it's alive. So ya gotta let it run 'bout sometimes, let it stretch its legs. Honestly it's like a little brother t' me, an annoyin' one, but one ah love anyway." Applebloom admitted, Chaos sparking around her hand for a moment.

"Ah'm only allowed to use it in this room and in emergencies. Nyx an th' Princess' are enforcin' those restrictions, but ah ain't got a reason t' break th' rules." Applebloom giggled, taking her seat. Sweetie Belle gave Scootaloo one last hug before letting go, the Skyborn giving a nod and a smile to show she was going to be alright.

"You already know my story I think. I spent pretty much my whole life in Eraville, but before that I was here in Celamont. The Filigree's are actually a rather important noble family, but my eldest sister took the responsibility of our House on to herself and sent me and Rarity to Eraville to live normal lives. Now look where I am." Sweetie Belle chuckled weakly.

"I didn't find out about what I am until it was a bit late. N-Normally...young vampires are kept locked away to keep them from harming others...I...I hurt Scootaloo that day..." Sweetie Belle wrapped her arms around herself, hanging her head.

"E-Everytime she offers herself to me...I flash back to the day I almost killed her...b-but then she holds me and tells me it's going to be okay a-and somehow...somehow it is okay..." Sweetie Belle sniffed, smiling as Scootaloo hugged her from behind, resting her chin on her shoulder.

"You two need each other...and deserve each other." Dinky said with a smile.

"Wow...I just thought you were all...well...normal I guess. I never realized..." Glimmer began

"That we all had our everyday problems? It's hard to tell these things from an outside perspective. People hide a lot about themselves. The happiest person is normally the one in the most pain. Which reminds me..." Nyx held up her finger, pulling out her phone and humming as it rang.

"Hello?"

"Hey Auntie Pinkie! Just wanted to give you a long distance hug!" Nyx giggled.

"Awww! Thanks Nyxie! Hug your friends for me!" Pinkie snorted. Nyx smiled as she tucked her phone away.

"You mean...Pinkie Pie is..." Dinky started.

"She has a dark past. Which is why she struggles so much to make others happy. She doesn't want anyone to be as sad as she was. Sometimes those dark bits sneak up on her and she has her sad days, but that's why she has her friends and family to help her keep her smile." Nyx explained.

"Wow...There's so much more happening in the world than I thought..." Glimmer mumbled, looking down at herself. Compared to what the others had experienced, her own problems seemed rather pointless and stupid.

"You can't worry about everything at once and you can't fix problems you know nothing about Glimmer. But that's why this club is here. We can learn about each other and be there for one another." Nyx chuckled.

"A-Alright! Enough sad stuff!" Scootaloo demanded, tightening her hold on Sweetie Belle.

"I say we break for the day and hit the pool!"

"This is the pool?!" Glimmer gasped, staring at the massive body of water before her. To her left was a large fence and directly beyond it were several hot tubs and even a juice bar. The pool itself had several lanes and a split in what she assumed to be the middle. Past the split was a water volleyball net and she swore she could see a jet ski from where she was standing.

"Luna wanted the best for her students. This is just the public pool you know, Clubs get personal benefits, but we are just starting out so we have to use the public stuff for now. Though, no one is out here this time of day, so we get it all to ourselves. Nice two piece by the way." Nyx winked at Glimmer, causing her to blush and cover herself with her arms.

"I um...h-had it specially made b-by Miss Rarity..." she mumbled.

"How'd you keep her from putting gemstones in it?" Sweetie Belle wondered, dressed in a white clingy one-piece swimsuit.

"Oh well, I uh...mentioned my 'sensitive parts', and she agreed to make me something simple..." Glimmer chuckled nervously.

"Must be nice bein' able t' wear it out in th' open" Applebloom teased. The farm girl was dressed in a simple green top and a pair of shorts.

"Aw come on, don't tease her." Scootaloo said, punching Applebloom's shoulder. Scootaloo had decided to go with a two piece as well, the rather small orange fabric clinging tightly to her slightly muscular frame. The Skyborn rested her hands on her hips, inhaling the afternoon air and the scent of a freshly cleaned pool.

"Ah, smells like summer." Scootaloo sighed happily.

"Hm, is Dinky not joining us?" Sweetie Belle wondered, glancing back at the Magian. She was hiding behind a lawn chair, dressed in a gray one piece swimsuit.

"I-I um...can't swim!" Dinky called out.

"Then how'd you save Rumble from drowning after he knocked himself out at the lake?" Scootaloo asked.

"Um...adrenaline?" Dinky argued weakly. Nyx sighed, crossing her arms.

"I know we promised not to push you Dinky, but this is ridiculous. You have to get over your fear some time you know. Look, how about the two of us just go relax in the hot tub for a bit, hm?" Nyx offered. Dinky blushed, simply nodding and waiting until Nyx walked up to her to come from behind the chair, doing her best to hide behind the Celestian.

"I never thought her to be the shy type..." Glimmer mumbled.

"Well, ya gotta remember what our club is about. There is just something she isn't ready to reveal about herself. You understand, right?" Scootaloo asked. Glimmer blinked, looking down at herself. With how Rarity had crafted her swimsuit, it was nearly impossible to tell she wasn't as she appeared. The panties we specially crafted to hide her 'meaty parts' comfortably while giving the illusion that she was 100% female. Even her bra managed to give her the appearance of A-Cup breasts.

"I-I guess I understand. I'm just worried about what secret she could be hiding that would make her shy like that. She's normally so full of energy..." Glimmer sighed.

"Eh, don't worry too much about it. When she's ready, she'll spill the beans, for now, let's enjoy the pool!" Scootaloo cheered, diving in headfirst. Sweetie Belle sighed, making her way down the steps slowly to adjust to the water. Applebloom marched around the pool for a while, seemingly keeping a lookout. But Glimmer had no idea for what. Eventually Glimmer too stepped into the water, shivering from the instant drop in temperature, but pushing onward until her skin adjusted to the change.

"This is...nice..." Glimmer smiled, floating along the top of the water and watching the clouds drift by.

"INCOMING!" a voice cried out, moments before a large splash, blinding Glimmer with water. She thrashed about, coughing and gasping, thankful for the arms wrapping around her and pulling her to the edge of the pool.

"Aw crud, sorry about that! I guess I should think before I jump huh?" the boy chuckled. Glimmer wiped away the water from her eyes, gasping as she recognized the boy as Button Mash. She quickly turned away, trying to hide her face.

"I-Its fine! I should've noticed someone was coming" she stammered.

"Huh, ya know, you seem kind of familiar...have we met?"

"Button you leave her alone!" Sweetie Belle called out from across the pool.

"Belle? Hey! It's been forever! So she's with you?" he asked.

"That's right, keep your grabby hands off her mister!" Sweetie Belle warned. Button took a few cautious steps away.

"Alright alright. Geez, I was just tryin' to keep her from drowning. So, you guys claiming the pool today?" Button wondered. Scootaloo shrugged.

"Eh, it's a public pool, so we can't claim it. But what the heck are you doing here? Don't you have some cram session for eggheads?" the Skyborn asked.

"Nah, teacher is out sick so we get the class free. I'm actually expecting Rumble to show up soon. He's supposed to race me. You up for it Scootaloo?" Button challenged.

"Oh you are so on!" she laughed, the two rushing for the other end of the pool. Glimmer sighed in relief, squeaking as Sweetie Belle put a hand on her shoulder.

"You alright Glimmer?" she asked. Glimmer gave a quick nod, leaning against the edge of the pool.

"I was scared he'd realize who I am...and then he'd hate me..." Glimmer mumbled.

"He wouldn't hate you. Maybe find you a little weird, but he'd probably ask you out." Sweetie Belle giggled.

"W-What?!" Glimmer cried, her face flushing bright red.

"Hee hee, yea. He's Bi Glimmer. I'm pretty sure he actually dated Rumble for a while, but they fought too much so they decided to just be friends. And I think occasional fuck buddies too." Sweetie Belle explained. It was a lot of information to take in. It was also strange to hear Sweetie Belle swear in that innocent gentle voice of hers.

It was even harder to imagine Button Mash and Rumble...doing THAT. Let alone Button wanting to

Bad thoughts! Bad thoughts! Go away boner! Glimmer cried in her head, shaking her head and splashing herself with water again and again. Sweetie Belle merely giggled.

"Don't worry too much about it Glimmer. Button is kind of hot and a lot of girls just faint when he walks by. I'm surprised you didn't know sooner."

"W-Well I was pretty anti-social in high school...a-and I only dressed up at home..." Glimmer admitted, hanging her head. Sweetie Belle hugged her gently.

"HEY! No cheating!" Scootaloo yelled, Button's runes glowing dimly as he swam by, Scootaloo hot on his tail.

"Belle...h-how do you not faint when Button goes by?" Glimmer asked.

"Oh that? Well I just think of Scootaloo and then...uh..." Sweetie Belle blushed, her eyes turning a dull red.

"I uh...need to go...Scootaloo!" Sweetie Belle cried, teleporting away and appearing in front of the Skyborn, Scootaloo crashing headfirst into her and the two vanishing in a flicker of light.

"Yea, fer future reference, don't ask Belle for advice on things like that. She's got a short trigger." Applebloom chuckled, dangling her legs in the water.

"Wait, so the two of them are really...?"

"Oh yea, they are that and way more Glimmer. Oh, there are bubbles in the hot tub if ya need t' hide." Applebloom whispered, holding out a towel for Glimmer to hide herself with. The Gaian quickly accepted the towel, rushing to the hot tub. Nyx waved to her, inviting her in.

"I um, have a bit of a situation..." Glimmer stammered.

"You have a boner, its fine, come on in." Nyx said without skipping a beat. Glimmer blushed deeply, but eventually caved in, slipping into the water across from Nyx. Dinky stayed beside the Celestian, her face just as bright as Glimmer's.

"This is incredibly awkward" Glimmer mumbled.

"Its more normal than you think. The water should help you relax though." Nyx winked, her eyes glowing dimly, her magic moving along the water.

"N-Nyx! Y-You aren't actually going to, AHH!" Glimmer covered her mouth, her blush growing as she felt the gentle caress of magic on her skin. To her surprise she heard a similar noise from Dinky.

"If the two of you need it, you can ask for my help in these...situations," Nyx winked, her magic fading away as she stepped out of the hot tub, smiling at the two of them before heading to the pool to meet up with Applebloom. Glimmer let out a breath she hadn't even realized she had been holding, Dinky mimicking her only a moment later.

"S-So um...that was...weird..." Glimmer mumbled.

"Y-Yea, weird...B-But that's Nyx for you." Dinky giggled nervously. They sat there in silence, neither looking at the other.

"S-So um, we never really got to hear your story. I mean, it's okay if you don't want to talk about it! I was just curious is all." Glimmer said quickly, trying to end the silence. Dinky twiddled her thumbs, looking around quickly to make sure they were alone.

"Can you...keep a secret?" she all but whispered. Glimmer blinked and chuckled nervously.

"Well yea. A lot of people think I'm a real girl, if that helps my case at all"

"Y-You are a real girl! J-Just because you are different...down there...doesn't mean you are any less of a girl Glimmer!" Dinky said rather fiercely. Glimmer simply stared, a smile touching her lips.

"That means a lot to me Dinky..." She said softly, Dinky blushing and giving a nod.

"W-Well. I um...I'm different too." Dinky mumbled.

"Aren't all of us? I mean, there's Nyx obviously, and Applebloom being a Chaotician...I'm still trying to wrap my head around that." Glimmer chuckled.

"No, Glimmer...I'm...different like you." Dinky explained. Glimmer blinked, tilting her head to the side.

"You're a boy?" Glimmer asked in shock. Glimmer had known Dinky since they were just little kids. She had always been the nerd, the experimenter, the girl. Dinky quickly shook her head.

"N-No! Not like that! I mean, I have uh...well...you know..." she pointed down, Glimmer's eyes betraying her and following the offending finger to Dinky's crotch.

"...Oh...OH! I-I see um...wow. But you're a girl?" Glimmer asked in a whisper.

"I have both..." Dinky mumbled, wrapping her arms around herself. Glimmer chewed her lip, unsure of what to say.

"I see. That's why you didn't want to talk about it...and why Nyx...Well so what?! You're still Dinky, you just have something a little extra!" Glimmer smiled. Dinky looked up at her slowly, glancing around before scooting over to sit beside her. Glimmer squeaked as Dinky laid her head against her shoulder, but soon relaxed, wrapping an arm around her Magian friend.

"I-I only told Nyx and you...I don't think I'm ready to tell the others yet, s-so, can you keep quiet about it?" Dinky asked. Glimmer smiled, squeezing Dinky's shoulder.

"Of course. It's your secret to tell, not mine. Though uh...have you always...?" Glimmer cleared her throat, trying to find the right words.

"No, I wasn't born like this. It's a long story...the short version is...I died, and the Doctor saved me." She explained, letting out a sigh.

"Sounds like one crazy story." Glimmer chuckled, Dinky giggling.

"You don't even know the half of it. We didn't even know until it was too late and then I just had to adjust." Dinky rolled her eyes, sitting up.

"Thanks Glimmer...it means a lot."

"Of course."

"I feel sooo much better!" Sweetie Belle sighed happily, Scootaloo yawning beside her, blinking as Nyx offered her a shake.

"Gotta keep your blood sugar up, wink wink." Nyx teased, Scootaloo snatching the shake and blushing.

"Har har, laugh it up. It comes with awesome sex." Scootaloo taunted.

"And theres somethin' ah coulda gone my whole life without hearin'" Applebloom sighed, looking over a stack of papers.

"Agreed" Dinky sighed, happy to be back in her loose fitting jeans. Glimmer made a mental note to get a swimsuit made for Dinky and maybe some clothes as well.

"Well, I would call this a successful day, wouldn't all of you?" Nyx asked, smiling at everyone. Silence reigned over the room for a moment as everyone glanced at one another before bursting into laughter.

"A bit of a weird day, but yes." Glimmer agreed.

"A club for freaks, hmph. Silver Spoon, your report?" Diamond demanded, holding out her hand.

"The room is soundproofed by powerful magic. None of my talismans could break through, but we were able to gather a bit of information while they were at the pool. Even there, it was difficult to hear anything." Silver sighed.

"We know all of this already. I suppose we'll have to go after the weaker members and make them spill what they know." Diamond murmured, handing the folder back to Silver Spoon.

"Madam Chairmen, why do we have to target them?" Pip asked gently, wincing as Diamond glared at him.

"As the Student Council, it is our duty to keep Princess Luna's School clean and free of dangerous or harmful things. That room of freaks is a time bomb waiting to explode and I will not allow it to continue, am I understood?" Diamond glared at him.

"Y-Yes Ma'am..."

"We will crush them before they have a chance to grow."
