This is blissy (budding bliss) and brights (brightskies) at age 14. I wanted to draw this age because it is an importnat developmental point for the characters so I would love if you would ask their 14 year old selves questions or roleplay with them.
These two are meant to be the prettyiest ponies in school, I hope i succeeded.
Visual description: Brights and Blissy stand tail to tail their tails crossing with Blissys in front showing off their new makeovers to their schoolmates (not shown). Both have their front right hoof lifted blissy also has his back left hoof lifted slightly out. Brights is on the viewers left her hair is a bit shorter then her grown up self but styled the same her sunset colored hair falling over her muzzle slightly and coming into a wave on the bottom she had a yellow star clip by her right ear. both face each other so they have thier heads turned towards the center. brights wears a beaded necklace and matching bracelet on her left hoof both colored like the sunset her fur is sky blue her hooves deeper shiney blue and her eyes match the sunset of her mane. She is slightly on the pudgy side. Her wings are held up. Both ponies look very confident. Blissy is soft pink with a blue heart on his flank surrounded by blue dots that go over his cutiemark, a pruple apron with a silver needle sewing a darker purple heart patch onto it. He has blue stocking markings halfway up his legs his left ear has a blue tip and right ear has a blue heart. his blue tail and mane are both short the mane spiked up in front around his horn and curled slightly at the bottom. He wears a rainbow scarf around his neck to show his pride and his purple eyes looks towards brights. behind them is a simple purple background with hearts...i had no background ideas :p Oh and Brights is still blank at this age I didn't just forget to mention a cutiemark.

Ooh! Blissy does sound a bit different from when Ilast saw her.
I really like the whole idea behind this image. So much happens when you are just reaching your teenage years. I know I went through some awkward emotions around this time, which was between 8th and 9th grade.
It's cute how Blissy is showing pride in being herself. Knowing Brights has been there for her for so long is definitely a bonus. It can be super difficult to feel confident in opening your true self up alone. Brights has always come off as loving and supportive. She's a great mom to Bucky so her playful maternal instinct definitely would help give Blissy some epic self-validation and confidence to be herself.
QUESTION:
Blissy - Have you met Patches yet? Do you know any pony named Patches?

Yes though here blissy is going by male pronouns. Brights is the one that pushed him to become confident.
Brights is super loving and supportive and very accepting. Without her blissy would have been lost. Young blissy may be very mama like but if anyone has those " mama bear" instincts it's actually brights (though both do brights just has it more as a young teen)
Blissy age 14: sorry I don't know any pony by that name. Sounds cute though.

Hmm. I do recall Brights playing a big part in Blissy feeling okay in who 'she' really is. I forget who was the one who helped Patches.

BLISSY:
How does it feel to finally start feeling comfortable in being the mare you knew yourself to be? Do you feel it has helped you feel more confident in yourself in other areas?

Patches didn't need help like blissy did there wasn't a traumatic childhood moment for him. His best friend is touchdown but downy is just his little buddy not some great help
Blissy: er im not sure you understand, ive always felt comfortable being a filly. I learned recently that i am meant to be a colt atleast thats what the ponies at school say but I don't care colt or filly I'm still me. I've always been confident in myself. I just needed a push through a rough week was all. Now I see that I can be amazing as a colt too. I'd date me, welll....a less girly me any ways .

Was it rough for you, Blissy, when you went from Elementary to Junior High due to all the different fillies and colts that were suddenly a part of your class?
I know I was a scared quacker when I went to Middle School. We had these public showers in gym and I got made fun of by a sporty guy who thought I was trying to do naughty things to him. Good thing my best friend, Nishi, was in the same gym class. He really helped me know it was alright if I was a homosexual, or bisexual, duck-dino. *Really Blushes* Whoops! TMI? *Shifts while staring towards the ground*

Blissy: nah it was actually pretty great until the end, not to brag or nothing but me and brights were the most popular fillies in school. Guess that title is hers alone now.
Showers in gym? Haven't had those but I hear the high school will. Is it bad? Naughty things? What go through his saddlebags while he was in there? Homo huh? The Colts at school call me that sometimes now. The nice stallion at the mall said it was another word for gay and since I like colts I am gay and proud of it. Brights helped me understand that like your nishi did.
Mod note blissy knows puberty stuff as of a week or two ago but has a few more months (next semesters health class) before learning where babies come from and the related stuff

You sound super smart and super proud and super confident, Blissy. I can see why you have such great friends and are doing well in just being you.
Do you hope to find a colt friend in High School? Perhaps some pony to go to dances and other events that are a part of going to High School?
*Blush* I have lots of friends who are boys and girls. Nishi will often hold my hand and we'll cuddle and I'll get all confused by the fuzzy feelings I get when he asks me to do stuff that is, well, naughty. He likes to play and he's been my friend since before I can remember. He's always been there but likes when I dress as a girl or don't wear anything. He says he likes seeing me be a feral dino duckling and how I shouldn't hide my feathers. *Really blushes* I don't hear anyone else talking about such things and am kind of scared if anyone ever knew of what Nishi and I can do together. It feels right... but I hear and see things that make it sound... wrong? I just like hugs and touching and cuddles. I don't really mind where I get them from as long as they are nice and are my friend.

Blissy: smart? Nah I'm not terrible in school but I'm not good or nothing. Proud and confident though that sounds right.
I don't even wanna wait for highschool. Maybe I'll find one this summer. Oo I'd love to go to dances with a colt that sounds amazing. We have an end of year dance I was gonna go with a colt but he changed his mind when he heard I was a colt. No worries there though he wasn't my special someone or anything he had just asked and I'd said ok. *shrugs* brights will be fun to go with as friends if I can't find a colt by then it's fun to watch dance.
He sounds like a nice friend but you shouldn't do naughty stuff just cause a friend says so.
Why hide your feathers? Most Pegasi I know don't it would make it harder to fly.
Hugs and cuddles can't be wrong that's just silly.
(Mod note: blissy is still taking the word naughty in the non adult sense of doing something bad as they do not know the adult meaning

You sound very smart, Blissy. Do you remember when you first knew you were a filly? Who was the first pony you told that you were a filly?
I... umm.... like to wear girly clothes. *Deeply blushes while poking his fingers and staring at the ground* I wish I could wear skirts as they are really fun and comfortable. Plus... *Really deeply blushes* Uh... Can you keep a secret?

Blissy: I always thought I was a filly so I think you mean colt. It was awful they brought us too this table were this stallion went through our school files and gave us these packets blue for colts pink for fillies. I got that's with brights and the stallion forced me to take blue then go with the boys to thier lecture abouthow the body changes as we get older. Brights says she got a lecture about the same but filly bodies. The stallion yelled at me ans took my bow. I got it backbut it was pretty messed up. I didn't get to tell anypony cause he told everypony I was faking to sneak in the filly lecture. I asked mom and dad when I got home and found out the truth.
I like skirts too super pretty. Course I can keep a secret

*Makes a sad face and offers a hug* I'm so sad they were so mean to you. I got picked on a lot at school and the teachers didn't help me outlots either. I had a few who understood and wanted to help me but I dreaded gym as I always felt left out, unwanted, and like the joke when I just wanted to play with my friends and like everyone else. *Sob*
Are they letting you wear bows now? I think wearing a bow would be cute! A nice blue bow with a matching skirt and a baby-blue shirt with a nice big shining star on it would be so perfect! My mom and dad say I may be little and may be different but I'm still a star. *Beams*
And... well... do you promise to not make fun of me if I share my secret? *Turns away and blushes so much his white feathered face is beet red*

blissy: *hugs the little duck* he was even a teacher he was some high up school runner stallion who never knew us foals.
I wear bows only on rare occasions now. I did buy a pretty rainbow one but if I'm wearing rainbow stuff it's gotta be clear I'm a colt otherwise ponies will think I wanna date fillies and colts won't ask me out. Bows make me look girlies so I have to be careful.
That outfit sounds like something brights would have worn when we were littler...or even now if you add a ton of glitter.
Of course I promise your not making fun of me why should I make fun of you especiallysince I know how much it hurts.

*Shyly glances towards Blissy* I know... But I don't know why I like wearing them? They just seem so soft and are always on cute things and I wish I was cute and ... *Quacks on-and-on*
*Eventually stops* Do you ever get nervous when you're in the fillies' clothing aisle? Like you want to look but worry someone is looking at you?

Blissy: maybe that's why? Cause ya wanna be cute? I used to like to wear mama's make up cause I wanna be like her.
I haven't bought filly clothes since I thought I was one...and I had no reason to be nervous then.. but no ponies still often think I'm a filly if they don't know me and I'm proud of my girlyness so why should I be nervous right?

*Starts to feel more relaxed while turning to face Blissy* You know... *Appears like he'd like a hug as some tears form in his eyes* You're right, Blissy. I should just be happy and not worry so much about what others may think of me. *Sniffles* I worry so much that I feel so sad and I don't want to feel sad anymore. I want to be like you and be happy with me instead of trying to hide how, well, different I am.
Brights sounds like a really good friend. *Smiles* Kind of like Nishi has been to me. Though he sometimes can go a little far in his playful teasing and naughty stuff.
Does Brights ever play jokes or do anything to make you feel 'funny' while out in public? I know Nishi is just being a pal and he cares a lot about me. However sometimes he gets my younger sister worked up and they do things that I don't always feel so comfy with...

Blissy: if he's anything like brights if he does something that bugs you you should be able to tell him and he'll stop.
Brights isn't really a practical joker. I guess she sometimes asks me to sing with her.. everywhere but I just say no if I don't want to...like in the middle of the market. I mean sometimes it's fun but she's braver then me she'll perform anywhere. Guess with a voice like hers you can. Except teachers I've never heard anypony complain.

Brights will sing in the market? I'd be so embarrassed. *Blushes and puts his hands over his face at the mere thought of his mom, dad, or sister doing such a thing*
I've heard of a few Pony singers. Sapphire Shores, Songbird Serenade, and, uh, *Fidgets* Countess Color-a-tour-a...?
I like Bright Skies as a singing name. It sounds pretty and I love sunny days when I can just go in my pond and play. You see your reflection and can watch it move and do silly stuff. *Giggles*

Blissy: brights would sing anywhere, her not singing is more strange she's amazing though
Don't know those ponies must not be too popular. Her name does make a pretty good singing name
(Mod note: this is before the first episode by quite a few years...I think those singers are still teens at oldest) (13 to 14 years before our stories so maybe 10 or so years before episode 1)

Do you think Blissy will go to the big city when she becomes all grown up to be a big singer? Would you think she'd give you free tickets to watch her up front while taking you to all sorts of parties? *Daydreams* I bet that would be a lot of fun. Lots of yummy punch and tasty treats with all those lights and pretty circles everywhere...

Ah! Got it! Thanks for the timeline relevance for Fallen Angel. The stories aren't meant to fall much within the world of FiM and knowing a bit more as to when they do helps a lot. :)

Blissy: ya I guess she might I know she wants to be a theater pony or a rock star but she's performed alot and never gotten her cutiemark so she's a bit worried it's not her true talent. I'd love her to do that if it makes her happy and I know she's give me tickets but I'd hate to see her leave I'm no city pony I don't think so I would still be here most of the time.
Mod: the stories were meant to begin a few years after lunas release as she's still regaining her power (mainly to explain sunset) and you set the redemption tour in buckys new year so that puts a more exact time line on it. this being so much early then that is what makes it confusing

Oh, no! I know Cutie Marks are very important for ponies! Brights doesn't get teased for not having one yet... does she?
She's lucky to have a friend like you, Blissy. A good friend always makes feeling worried about something a lot easier to not feel so worried about whatever it is. I know I get very anxious and scared and feel all icky when I feel like I'm not my best. Friends really help you remember that being you is always best.
***
*Blush* Whoops! I'll make good with the stories as we continue to work on them. Yep, yep, yep! I'm nearly done with Guide Dogs and all I would need do after that is finish Leon's story to be free once more. :)

Blissy: some ponies do tease her ya, it's gotten worse lately now that more and more classmates have theirs I think she's gonna be the only blank in high school. I've noticed the closer we get to graduation the more she's teased for it doesn't help that she hangs out with me we are a bit of an easy target together, if not for how many ponies are crushing on one or both of us we would be in trouble but that's cuts the ponies teasing us down and those who like us tend to defend us, even if they just like one they defend us both cause they know it'll get em on that ponies good side.
Ya I don't know whay we would do without each other
Ya I don't know whay we would do without each other
Do... *Appears worried* Ponies get nervous when they go to ask you out? Like they try to hide how they feel until they can't be seen showing they like you? *Lowers his head* I know some girls who like me but they tend to sneak notes in my backpacks or pretend to throw paper wads at me that have caring messages on them so they don't get picked on for liking me.
Nervous? *Ponders* Kind of like how I get odd looks because I'm both a duck and a dinosaur? I get a lot of, "What are you supposed to be?" along with being told I'm weird. I have friends but they seem to be the 'weird' friends, too. I guess we all have our places? *Pouts* I just wish it wasn't so hard to fit in.
I know this way off, as it is likely just impossible for me, but are you thinking you'll get to go to the prom?

Blossy: o guess the weirder ponies ...or dinoducks... tend to be friends mainly which each other but I don't see anything bad about that
Oh I'm going to the prom. There's no question of that I mean not this year I'm finishing middle school and not next most likely but when it's our turn we are going.

Are you saying you will be going with, or without, a date with Brights when the time comes for Prom? That's really brave of you. I'm so nervous to go alone as I would feel so uncomfortable and would likely be teased for not having a date.
Do you like styling manes? Pony manes seem like they can be made to look really awesome! Same with tails.
My sister, winry, has more feather-like spikes on her head. She's also more feathery in other places that allow her to play with hair ties and such. I'm all scales except for on my cheeks, belly, and... umm... Why am I talking about where my feathers are all at? *Ponders* Oh, right... Nishi says I have the most feathers there. *Blazing Blush*

Blissy: I'm sure I can find a date but yes with or without I'll be going. Brights I'm sure we'll go with a date though it's high school ya gotta if ya can.
Wanna know a secret mom told me? No pony cares if you have a date either they are too busy with their date or have no business teasing you cause they don't have one either.
Styling makes is ok I guess I like to think I do a good job with mine and it's fun at sleepovers and stuff but I don't think I'd like being a mane stylist or anything.
You want more feathers to style? Could always wear a boa or something brights loves those things

*Slaps his hands over his eyes and feels a lot of butterflies in his tummy while his face flushes red. The thought of a big cute bow in his head spikes making him feel all cute all over. Perhaps a pink shirt to compliment a baby-blue bow in his head*
I... uh... Yeah. I'll have to see if... I... can find a bow?
*Appears extremely nervous*
I... uh... Yeah. I'll have to see if... I... can find a bow?

well if you wanted an in depth one you could note me, if you wanted simple you could just send a message interacting with them here for example i opened roleplay with trinket on his ref http://www.furaffinity.net/view/25049505/ you can read mine and yosh's comments to get an idea that started to become roleplay towards the end when they were playing with the pillow cloud
