Rose's Broken Soul

Once everypony was downstairs Rarity was the first to speak saying " I can't believe what she has been through. I mean if it was me i probably would've died from the pain. Oh how i do wonder what kept her going. I mean you all saw how her soul was breaking right?"

Fluttershy was the first to answer " I know what you mean Rarity. I could tell that while she was talking about being a colt she had a look of disgust and hatred for herself. I would also be willing to bet that she can't look herself in the mirror without wanting to smash the mirror into dust."

Rainbow Dash angrily says "I can't believe her father would do that. If i ever get my hands on him he will regret being born. How could anypony hurt their own child like that?"

Applejack looking determined says " Rarity I have a feeling i know what her cutie mark is going to be."

Rarity being surprised that Applejack has an idea for what Rose's cutie mark will be asks " What is it going to be A.J. and how do you know?"

Apple jack looks at Rarity and answers "I don't know for a hundred percent. However i think you should have her model a few dresses. As she gets into it I'm sure her cutie mark will appear. Mainly because when she talked about wearing the dress she found and how she felt nearly complete. I have a feeling she is going to get a modeling cutie mark."

Rarity after thinking for a few minutes says " You know. I think your right Applejack. That would also explain why she hasn't already got her mark."

Fluttershy says to everypony "Okay I'm going to go home. I have somethings i need to take care of. Bye everypony."

After Fluttershy left the others followed suit. Over the next hour Applejack was doing a lot of cooking and house hold chores when she heard screaming coming from the guest room.

Applejack upon hearing the scream runs upstairs to see what's wrong. As Applejack enters the room the first thing she notices is that Rose is having a nightmare. Applejack walks over to the bed and rubs Rose's back to calm her down. After rubbing her back for fifteen minutes Rose calms down. The poor mare must be scared to death if she's having such a bad nightmare. Thinks Applejack as she leaves the room.

About two hours after dinner in the apple house Applejack hears a soft knock on the door. Wondering who it is Applejack goes to answer it. Applejack opened the door to find Twilight standing there with an excited but worried look on her face.

Applejack was about to say hi when Twilight asks "Hey Applejack. How is Rhyme doing? I have been so worried about him."

Chuckling Applejack says "Twilight, Rhyme told me and the others what happened to her and why. Also as far as me and the others are concerned her name is Rose. After all everypony deserves to be themselves. Did you know she doesn't have her cutie mark?"

Twilight was surprised that Rose had told her closest friends what happened to her. After recovering from the shock Twilight asks " She doesn't have her cutie mark. I thought she would've had it by now. By the way could you give her this healing potion. It will completely heal her stab wound. It can't heal her wings. However she should be able to move around."

Applejack takes the potion from Twilight and says " I'll give it to her in the morning. As for her cutie mark i think it is going to be a filly and mare modeling cutie mark."

"Why do you think the Applejack?" inquires Twilight curiously

"Well i honestly don't know. All i know is she told us when she tried on the dress she found she was almost complete," explains Applejack with a smile.

Twilight thinks in silence about what Applejack had just told her for a minute before saying " You know what. I think your right. Since she is more complete as a filly and one day mare then what your saying makes sense."

Applejack hides a yawn and says "Well it's getting late Twilight. I'll see you in the morning."

"Your right Applejack it is late. I'll see you tomorrow. Have a good night," says Twilight leaving Sweet Apple Acres.

Applejack gets dressed for bed, puts the bottle on the dresser and goes to bed. Applejack woke up bright and early the next morning before the sun was rose. The first thing she did was check on Rose to make sure she was okay. As she peeked into the room she saw Rose sitting up crying. Recognizing the look of pain she walks into the room to cheer up the filly. As Applejack approaches the bed she says while she hoofs over the potion " Morning Rose. Twilight stopped by last night while you were sleeping to drop this off. She said it was a healing potion that will heal your stab wound."

"Twilight got this for me? I-I-I thought she didn't like me anymore. Because she didn't stay in touch with me when she was sent to find the Elements of Harmony," says Rose as she takes the potion and drinks it.

Applejack gets a huge grin as she sees his stab wound heal itself. A second later she remembered that Rose had asked her a question so she says " Yes Rose she got it directly from Princess Celestia. Just so you know i have never seen Twilight as happy as she is when she is with you. But enough of that you need to get ready for the day. The shower is down the hall on the right."

Rose after giving Applejack a hug grabs her bag and heads to the bath room. An hour later Rose emerges from the shower with the pink dress she found on her. A couple minutes later she walks into the dining room to see all the apple family waiting for her.

When the Apple family saw her they all said "You look marvelous in that dress Rose."

Upon hearing the compliment Rose says "Thank you ever so much for taking care of me when i was hurt. But i need to go to town and find my own place to call home. I don't feel comfortable staying at a friends house for more than a couple nights."

"As you wish Rose. But just be sure to be at the Carousel Beautique at noon. Twilight and Rarity have a gift for you. The store is just down the street from the building that looks like a giant cupcake," says Applejack with a smile a mile wide on her face.

Rose upon seeing the smile on Applejack's face says " Well based on the look on your face i don't know whether to be scared or excited. Either way don't worry I'll be there. I hope you have a wonderful day and if you need anything please let me know. I owe you my life for saving me."

Rose gives a small curtsy to the family and heads into town. As Rose was approaching the town about ten minutes later she heard a familiar voice say "Hey Rose I'm glad to see your doing better. By the way you look great in that dress."

Rose looked to her right and saw Rainbow Dash looking at her with a smile. Giggling Rose says "Hey Rainbow. Yeah I'm feeling much better thanks to Twilight and Applejack. But right now I'm looking for a home of my own. Preferably close to town yet still outside of it. You wouldn't know of such a place would you?"

Rainbow thinks for a minute then her eyes go wide as she remembers a nice two story house with two bedrooms, a big bathroom and shower, fully equipped kitchen and living room with a nice looking dining room. Rainbow turns to Rose and says "Actually Rose i know the perfect place. It just came on the market yesterday. Follow me and I'll lead you to the property management office."

"Thank you Rainbow Dash. Thank you so so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. I started saving my bits when i was five. Just in case when i told my parent's i wanted to be a filly and one day mare and they disowned me. I knew it was a possibility. By now i have around five hundred bits," says Rose as they start off towards town.

Rose and Rainbow talk about minor things along the way. As they approached and entered the Ponyville Property Management a unicorn mare with a house as her cutie mark looks up and says "Rainbow Dash How nice to see you again and who is this charming young mare?"

Rainbow Dash smiling says " Hey Perfect Home this is a friend of mine who just moved here. I thought about the house she told me she would like and well the house she described is a lot like the Solid Pine house that was put up for sale yesterday."

Perfect Homes eyes alight as she says "Hello my dear . My name is Perfect Home and the cost of the house is twenty bits for ten months or two hundred all together."

As Morning Rose took out the two hundred bits she says "It is nice to meet you Perfect Home. My name is Morning Rose. Here is the payment in full."

Perfect takes the bits and after Rose signs the paperwork hands rose the keys to her new home and says "Welcome to Ponyville Rose. Rainbow Dash will take you to your new house. Enjoy your new home."

Rose takes the keys puts them in her saddlebag and says "Thank you Perfect. I hope you have a wonderful day. I have to get going. Rarity and Twilight have a gift for me at noon which is fifteen minutes away."

"Well in that case take care. I'll see you later I'm sure," says Perfect as Rose and Rainbow Dash hurry to Rarity's store. Ten minutes later found Rainbow Dash and Rose standing in front of the store.

Rose takes a deep breath and walks into the store with a smile on her face while Rainbow follows after. The moment she stepped into the store a bell above the door went off signaling that there was customers. With Rainbow at her side rose saw Rarity and Twilight standing by a runway with smiles on their faces.

Twilight upon seeing Rose enter the walks over to her and says while giving her a hug "Rose I'm glad to see you. Just so you know my gift to you is ten every day dresses and a dress for the Grand Galloping Gala all created by Rarity."

"Really Twilight?" inquires Rose with a i can't believe this is really happening look.

Rarity upon seeing the look on Rose's face says " Yes deary. we already talked about it and we agreed that a lovely filly such as yourself deserves some very nice dresses. I'll just need to take your measurements and I'll have the perfect dress made for you."

"Okay Rarity do your thing,"says Rose standing still as a statue.

An hour after Rarity took Rose's measurements one of the dresses were done. The dress was a pink silk with a red trim and baby blue sapphires embroidered on the sides forming a rose.

As Rarity enters the waiting room of her store she says "Okay Rose I'm done."

Rose upon seeing the dress says "Thank you so much Rarity ." Rose took the dress to the changing room and puts it on.

Rose then walks out to see both Twilight and Rarity standing there with their muzzles open. Twilight being the first to snap out of the shock followed closely by Rarity says " Rose why don't you take a walk down the runway and do some modeling of the dress."

Rose nervously says as she walks to the runway of the store "Okay I'll give it a chance."

Once rose gets on the runway she starts to relax and be herself. She walked a few feet then posed. Each time she got better and better until when she posed half way down the runway there was a bright flash of rainbow colored magic coming from Roses body. As soon as the flash happened Rose passed out.

The first thing Rose noticed when she started to come to was that she felt at peace with herself. As she slowly opened her eyes she could hear a steady beeping sound. Rose knew she was in the hospital but she didn't know why. Rose turned her head to the right and saw all her friends sitting there with worried looks on their faces.

Twilight being the first to notice that Rose was looking at them says "Hey Rose your awake. We were so worried about you. By the way i don't know how it happened but when the magic was released when you got your cutie mark your wings disappeared and in it's place you got a unicorn horn. Also your eyes have changed colors from sky blue to a light pink. Your coat is now blue instead of black. There is one more thing but i think the doctor should tell you."

Rose upon hearing Twilight's words says " So I'm no longer a Pegasus. I'm now a unicorn. Wait i got my cutie mark? What is it? The last thing i remember is posing halfway down the runway."

Rarity was the one who spoke saying "Well Rose after the burst of magic that came from you when you got your cutie mark the first thing we saw was that you had passed out. After we made sure you were okay we noticed that your wings changed to a horn along with your coat changing colors. We immediately brought you here while Rainbow told the others. As the doctor examined you we noticed your eyes had changed colors. As for your cutie mark it is a Rose inside the symbol of filly and mares surrounded by a silk ribbon. Congratulations."

As Rarity finished speaking Doctor caring heart comes in saying " Well i see your friends have filled you in on everything that happened. Except for the part where you are now biologically a filly. It seems that when you got your cutie mark so much magic was released that it changed your body to match your soul and allow you to follow your cutie mark. Though how it happened i can't even begin to explain. As far as i know you are the first pony that getting a cutie mark has physically changed them. But you are free to check out of the hospital."
