I was in the dark there was nopony here but everywhere I go I could hear the voice of foals talking all around me. "Look at this fool he doesn't even know his own gender!"

"What a freak you wear dress and call yourself pretty what a pervert."

I screamed "No! I know what I am! And I'm not a pervert!"

Suddenly a light tore through the darkness and I ran toward it. When I passed through the light I was in my old home. My father stood there and looked down at me his face flushed with anger. "You used to be my perfect son. Now I don't even know who you are get out of my house!"

"But I never wanted to be a colt please dad can't you see that your perfect son never existed in the first place?"

"I said get out of here!" He swung a hoof at me.

I gasped and sit up in my bed. I looked in the mirror and saw a mare staring back. I couldn't hold back a few sobs and began to hug my cat plushy as I tried to go back to sleep.

I suppose a introduction is in order. My name is Peony I used to be called Scoot Honor but changed my name a while ago. I didn't have a easy of foalhood. At a very young age I knew something was wrong. It felt like I was a prisonner in my own body I felt like mother nature had put a curse on me.

I had no choice but to put clothes everyday to be able to hide the fact I was a male. Some ponies might think I look too formal always wearing clothes but I didn't care. It was better than the alternative.

I trot outside of my room and sighed at all the box outside my room. Too many ponies had discovered my secret in Manehattan I was going to live in Everfree City. A lot of ponies live there and I hope that I will get lost in the crowd.

Celestia made her research, she tried to find somepony who could be victim of oppression, she found a young female griffon she didn't know if she had troubles with ponies but she would see that later. She was a little heartbroken to find that there was nopony in Everfree City that was open about being either homosexual or transgender. Maybe Rain was right and bigotry was a problem of her country.

But she had one glimmer of hope, she saw in her records a pony who was legally a male but appeared to be female was coming in her city she would have to keep a close eye on her and see if Rain suspicions were correct.

I look up from my map and saw my new house. Surprisingly the house of Everfree City weren't that expensive despite the fact that we were in the capital of Equestria. It was a small house thought there was even less rooms than my old apartment. But I would be left alone here and that all that matter.

Just as I was about to enter the house I felt a presence behind me. I turned around hoping it wouldn't be another of these crazy ladies that would tell me I will rot forever in the Wasteland Prison for what I am.

But instead what greet me was a white Unicorn with a pink mane, her cutie mark was the sun with a cloud that was parting way with it to let the sunshine come down.

The Unicorn smiled brightly at me. "Hi! I heard you were the new neightbor. My name is Sunny Day nice to meet you!"

I tried to hide my nervousness I just hope she won't discover what I am, I don't have the kind of money I need to move to another town so soon. "H-Hi my name is Peony."

"That a pretty name! Say I don't want to sound like a tribalist but it's pretty rare to see a Earth Pony here. The forest close of the city tend to freak them out due to how wild it is compared to the rest of Equestria."

"Well I never really grew plants so I guess my sense of the earth are a little dull compared to the others members of my race."

"Won't you be lonely being the only member of your race in this big city?" Sunny Day asked worriedly.

"I'm fine I don't cares if my friends are Earth Pony or not. Beside I came here to be left alone I kinda hoped I wouldn't attract attention here but it look like I arleady caught your."

Sunny Day look thoughtfull for a few seconds. "It's decide then! You will be my new best friend!"

"W-What?!" I asked completely baffled at her sudden declaration. When I regain my composure I looked back at her with a frown. "It's better you stay away from me. The less you know about me the better. In the end being with me will only bring you pain."

Without looking at her expression I ran back in the house and slam the door behind me.

Celestia back at her castle let her disguise fall of. "It's seem she's shutting herself off from the rest of the world. I don't like the implication of that. Was Rain really right? Is Equestria having a problem with bigotry? I would have like to say that my little ponies are perfect but the evidence that something wrong is happening become more evident the more I dig up information about all this."

Celestia sighed. "But I want to be sure, I will continue to talk to Peony to get information but also to keep her safe."

- - - - -

A being was watching the land of Equestria smilling as she thought of all the horrible things she could do to these weak minded pony and all the power she would get from it.

"Adagio when can we eat we've been flying for hours!"

The being winced and turn around with a scowl looking at the two sirens behind her. "You can eat after we take over this town! Now stop talking and start singing!"

Sonata sighed in disappointment and began to sing along with the other two sirens "Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh...."
