My entry in Miller Minus's Young Six Story Contest, this story got first place! And much thanks to Pascoite for giving it a good going-over beforehand.

Rainbow Dash never learned to shave her legs. That didn't used to be a problem, but lately it's been starting to make her feel uncomfortable in front of other girls. Rarity doesn't completely understand how Rainbow feels, but she's willing to do just about anything to help out a friend.

Contains trans Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and friendship
