Everypony knows Apple Bloom as the youngest filly of the Apple Family. But Apple Bloom was born a colt, and now that puberty is coming on, she faces a difficult question; is there any way she can grow up to be a mare, or does she have to give up the life she's lived and accept the fact she's becoming a stallion? And if she reveals that all this time, she's been a boy, what will that mean for the friendships she's made and the ponies who only know her as Applejack's little sister?

A story about growing up, giving others the chance to help, and what friends and family can do for us, even our problems are different and hard to understand.
