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.
Even if that means skipping class to give shaving instructions in the girl's locker room.
Contains trans Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and friendship
Thank you to Cynewulf, Brasta Septim and Cinder Script for helping me figure out how best to word things, and for their support in general.

I really enjoyed reading this. <3 it reminded me a lot of how awkward I was when I first tried
If I have one complaint, it's that I don't think Rainbow's parents would have a problem with her being trans since they blindly worship the ground she walks in, if they're anything like the pony versions.
This was a very interesting and well done story!
I wish there had been people that were as open and willing to help and listen whemti was younger.
I'm so very glad there are now and I'm so proud of each of you, for being who you are and for caring so much.
Cute and Heartwarming
I see what you did there..................
Cute adorable, and more importantly well executed my darling

People are complicated. It's very possible for someone's parents to act loving and supportive in general, without supporting everything about their child.
They could certainly laud her athletic successes without fully accepting her identity, or something like that.
I really like this story. It reminds me that true friends will always be there to help you out. To be honest I am extremely jealous of Rainbow Dash having a good friend to help teach her.

Aren't these the same parents who keep her very first diaper on display, and cheer her for absolutely EVERYTHING no matter how irrelevant, including her making them cry?

Heh
Not what I expected at all
That's a bit weird in the human world, isn't it?
Oh no it's relATABLE
Oh, I liked this, seeing well done fics with trans characters, especially of the mane characters, too few and far between.
Thank you for this!
Yup. Generosity takes many forms, and Rarity's always looking out how to make her friends shine more.
Oops!
Feels a bit short, but I like the direction you're heading in with it.

Most of my stories are pretty short. I'm working on longer ones, but usually it's just easiest for me to write short oneshots and snippets (partially because I don't usually have the energy to write long epics after working 10 hour shifts, and partially because I don't believe in dragging out a story that I feel doesn't need to be longer.)
Thank you so much for reading!
A touching story. I wonder who were the two girls though. You would think Rarity and Rainbow would recognise them
Awww, this is super sweet.
Lovely work... though Dash's hypersupportive parents do make her having a hard time with gender identity feel a bit off. Still, you addressed the burning question I had when going into this story: Yes, human Rainbow Dash's body hair is also rainbow.
In all seriousness, a lovely little story. Thank you for it.
Cute! <33
