Sad time!
Prism: Doooove? Where are you?
Star: O es tu?
Prism: You really think she’s out here? Maybe she headed back home when it started raining
Star: We would’ve seen her right? There’s only one path.
Prism: ……. Maybe she went off the path.
Star: Off the path? Mrs. Trixie said that Dove just walks the trail every once in a while to relax. What would she want to see in these cruddy woods anyways?
Prism: I dunno. Birds?
Star: Maybe. How about we split up. I’ll go left, you go right.
Prism: ’Kay
Star: Dove? O es tu? Please come out! ear twitches What’s that sound? follows noise Dove?
Dove: Graah! repeatedly hits horn on tree
Star: runs over to Dove Dove! Stop! Arrtez!
Dove: continues screaming and banging horn on tree
Star: DOVE! Arrtez! puts wing over her
Dove: stabs horn into tree and looks up S-Starburst?
Star: Are you okay? What are you doing? Qu’est-ce que tu fais?
Dove: shaking
Star: Qu’est-ce que tu fais???
Dove: Elle ne cassera pas (it won’t break)……
Star: What?
Dove: S’il vous plait, partez (Please leave). You don’t need to see me like this.
Star: looks at all the scratch marks on the tree D-dove…. are…..are you hurting yourself?
Dove: …………….
Star: Pourquoi (Why)??? How long have you been doing this???
Dove: ……………….. since I was young….
Star: Is this where you go when you take those walks??? Do your parents know about this???
Dove: shakes head
Star: Dove, this is bad! What’s wrong?
Dove: …………… I don’t…………. like who I am….
Star: !!! B-but….. you’re Dove the Extraordinary! You’re the most confident pony I know!
Dove: Confidence does not mean self-love.
Star: Dove………..
Prism: Star? Dove? Where are you? I heard yelling and O-oh…..
Star: looks up at Prism with fear in her eyes
Prism: Dove, are you okay?
Dove: nods
Star: No you’re not!
Prism: Uhhh…. do you need help getting unstuck from this tree?
Dove: shakes head
Prism: looks at Star in confusion
Star: Why do you not like who you are?
Dove: ……. do you know what it’s like to live in fear of yourself?
Star: I…. no. What do you mean?
Dove: I’m a danger to myself and everypony around me….. My magic….. I can’t control it…… even the simplest of spells end up in disaster. I don’t even have to be thinking about using a spell and things…. bad things happen…. I just want it to end.
Star: no……
Dove: The only time I feel safe is when my horn is broken. So I can’t use magic. But now, it’s stronger, and I can’t break it. I just…. Je ne veux pas tre une licorne (I don’t want to be a unicorn)!
Prism: W-what’d she say?
Star: She doesn’t want to be a unicorn.
Dove: I want to be like you two and fly free as a pegasus……….. But….. as a unicorn, I feel so trapped….
Star: Dove…….. I never knew you felt this way……………
Prism: Hey, let’s get out of the rain……. Dove, we need to go back to your house and let your parents know about this. It’s extremely unhealthy to keep this to yourself.
Dove: angrily I’m fine
Prism: No you’re not! Look, when I was little I wished I was born as a unicorn or an earth pony because I was scared of heights. I knew I’d be forced to learn how to fly at some point. Especially with parents who were Wonderbolts. Yes, I got over it but, all that time I kept my fear to myself got me nowhere. You need to tell somepony. Now let’s go. You’re going to get sick out here.
Dove: ………………. slowly gets up
Star: nudges Dove C’mon. After we tell your parents we can go to my mom and ask her for help. She’ll know what to do.
Dove: nods slowly
Dove’s a little more complex than you think
I’m probably gonna redo this picture since this is just a sketch lol.

Well, that sounds like what’s going to happen. And it’s kind of hard to break out of self-loathing.
Here’s an idea. You wanna go and share your little problem with one of your mom’s friends.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of her, but her name’s Twilight Sparkle.
Ask her about her history of magic usage. I’m sure you’ll feel better by the end of the exchange.
