The next morning, I woke up to the smell of pancakes being cooked. I trot into the kitchen to find not twilight, but spike flipping pancakes. I yawn as I sit down at the table “mmmmm morning “ I say as I sip my orange juice that spike had put in front of me along with a plate of pancakes. It had taken me some time, but now I can pick things up with my hooves with relative ease, and as such holding a fork to pick up pieces of my breakfast, and it is easy as pie. Twilight takes a sip of her coffee before speaking.

“good morning silver. I have some good news for you.” She says, in a sing a song like tone. I swallow my mouth full of pancakes before asking her what. She simply smiles wide.

“ today is your first day of…. School isn’t that exciting you’re going to make new friends and learn new things.” She said excitedly only twilight would be excited about school. I sighed and looked at her. But the happy expression on her face was too infectious. I found myself smiling back.

Once we got to the school house, she told me to wait a moment so she could speak to the principal who is also the teacher Miss Cheerilee was her name. She was a dark burgundy-ish colored earth pony with a pink mane. She had a very friendly smile and a kind voice as to expected of a teacher I guess.

After some talking, twilight came back and gave me a hug before telling me that she pick me up after school so we could do some shopping together. After she left. Miss Cheerilee Finally spoke to the class. “ OK class today we are welcoming a new student. I want all of you to be on your best behavior for her. OK dear, you can come and introduce yourself to the class.” She said, in a calm voice.

In my previous life, I was never one for public speaking, so standing here in front of all these young filly’s and colts made me unnecessarily, nervous, shaking under the pressure I couldn’t under a single word. It isn’t until I felt a gentle hoof on my shoulder that I noticed that Miss Cheerilee was encouraging me to speak and so I did.

I spoke in a soft tone hiding behind my mane just like a certain yellow shy Pegasus friend of twilights, by the name of Fluttershy. “H…hi ….m..my name is silver.. silver shield …” I said, quietly, just loud enough that every pony could hear me. An awkward silence followed after. Miss Cheerilee Broke the silence first, with a stump of her roof making a loud clop sound to get everyone’s attention.

“ OK silver? Why don’t you go have a seat next to Sweetie Bell and we can start class” I simply nodded my head before making my way to the desk next to Sweetie Bell. And with that class began. The class went about as much as you would expect. From a first grade class we learned math. Which was simply addition and subtraction, incredibly easy for me, not so much for every other pony. We learned about the princesses of which I already knew about considering I’ve watched the My Little Pony TV show so I know a lot about this world already, but it doesn’t hurt to recap on things here and there. and finally we learned some English and writing skills. We even did some art.

“ and like that’s the first day of school was over I hung out with the cutie mark crusaders, who I learned the other names were in Apple bloom a yellow earthpony with a red mean and pink bow in her hair, and scootaloo an orange pegasus with a burgundy colored mane They were fun to hang out with, and made me happy that I made two new friends. And now, after all those years as a human with no friends, no family people who don’t even pay attention to me I finally have real friends. We hung out for a while until twilight picked me up.

Our first stop, was not what I expected we went to the carousel boutique where rarity had finished my dress after some arguing I finally put it on, and to my complete surprise, I actually liked the way I looked with a dress on. looking at myself in the mirror, wearing a dark green dress with purple outlines. The fact that I was wearing a dress just felt right for some reason. The sudden realization that I thought of myself as a girl hit me like a ton of bricks.

After the boutique twilight, and I got a bunch of ingredients for the stew, but the whole time I didn’t speak a single word still contemplating the fact that I liked being a girl my whole world had been turned upside down and flipped inside out and the mere fact that I liked being a girl was not what I expected. Brought out of my thoughts by twilight nudging me.

“ are you OK silver? You’ve been quiet since we left the boutique did you not like the dress?” And now here I was standing having an internal gender identity, crisis and twilight thought it was her fault. I had to fix this.

“ no no no it’s not you. I’m just tired. Maybe we should head home I did have my first day of school after all.” this seem to work, and she agreed we made our way back to the castle where she made an amazing vegetable .This seem to work, and she agreed we made our way back to the castle where she made a amazing vegetable stew and after I lay down on my bed sprawled out on my back, staring at the ceiling still contemplating my realization that I liked being a girl.

It felt weird to say in my head I liked being a girl and I was OK with it. Maybe it was the body that I was in now or maybe it was some thing that always was there, but regardless, I saw myself in my mind as a girl, which one of its own was kind of weird to me, but regardless, it was OK everything seem to be really good, and before I knew it, twilight came in to tuck me in.

I crawled under the covers, and she kissed me on the four head right above my horn, like she always does before turning out the lights and saying good night I lay there in the dark, smiling to myself. “ maybe this new life of mine is just what I needed after all.” I say to myself before slowly, falling asleep, eager for what the next day might bring.
