Flash was meditating in his room. It was something he recently started after looking up ways to reduce stress. He was determined to regain the simple lifestyle he had before, or at least, to some degree. Already he felt a little bet-

And with the itchy sensation, his good mood was gone.

Flash headbutted the scroll that got shot into his face. Growling at the paper rolling away from him, he closed his eyes and went back to meditating.

Don't read it.

Don't read it.

You KNOW what's inside that scroll, don't read it.

Don't read it.

Flash got up from his bed and picked up the scroll. With a sigh, he unrolled the offensive piece of parchment.

Dear Stranger,

I must confess, I have been living a lie. All the ponies believe I am the most fabulous mare in all of Ponyville. Who could blame them? It is true, I AM beautiful! But, it is all a lie! A terrible, horrible LIE! I, Rarity, am not the most fabulous, beautiful mare in Ponyville... I am the most fabulous, beautiful, lady like STALLION in all of Ponyville! Oh maker, how can you be so cruel? Why couldn't have I been born the gender I truly should have been? I am a mare at heart! How will I ever find my Prince Charming like this? Still, I know that one day I will find the stallion who will appreciate me for what is inside, and not for what fate has cruelly given me on the outside!

Sincerely~

Rarity.

"Flash," Flash's Mom called out. "You have a visitor!"

Heading out of his room and down the stairs, Flash saw Rarity standing at the doorway.

"Hello Dah~ling..." Rarity nervously smiled. "As you know, the Fall Formal is coming up, and I was wondering if you wou-"

"No." Flash closed the front door.
