//------------------------------// // Twilight Sparkle Is A Human // Story: The Prompt Pit // by Regina Wright //------------------------------// “I'm not that good with foals or speeches so...” Taeko announced in front of a sea of students waiting on her every word. The new class representative replacing Taeko waved at her to get on with it. She gulped, looking down at her note cards and the podium she was using. Taeko Sano was announcing her acceptance speech as being the chosen student to be transferred for a one-year stay at Uma-Machi but it wasn't supposed to have such a big audience! And why did they have to be so happy for her! She didn't want to go! Her fists fell to her side as she ducked her head, her purple bangs brushing into her face. “Okay.” She breathed, “I can do this!” Taeko grabbed her note card and tore them half, sprinkling them like confetti as she walked to the middle of the stage and addressed her peers. She flicked her long hair, trusting the mic attached to her school sweater to stay attached and lifted a single finger to tap the center of her forehead. A surge of power was released, purple light blinded the audience as Taeko shifted from a normal human girl into a purple unicorn with a cutie mark on each flank. “That's better.” Twilight neighed before remembering she was speaking to human foals. “Greetings! I am Twilight Sparkle of Princess Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns! I know that this might strange seeing that I was formerly your fellow student Taeko Sano but I find I shouldn't be using illusions for this speech.” “Behold, my magic and do not fear.”Twilight lit her horn and teleported from one side of the stage to the other. She lifted the podium with little strain and moved it left and right. She transformed the mic that was still on her form and changed it into a butterfly that kissed her nose. The crowd was awed, cheering and whooping for more forms of her wonderful magic. Even the new class representative swooned on his broom that he was holding. “Years ago, I was sent on this planet to spread the message of Friendship and today, I continue you to do so. Though I may be going far away, I don't want any of friendships to be lost. You've confided with me your secrets, your dreams, your laughter and your hopes for the future. I may have gotten this transfer but that doesn't mean I wanted to leave you behind!” “Twilight!” The crowd cried, already in tears and promising to follow her to Uma-Machi. “Twilight, we love you!” “I love all my little humans.” Twilight winked. “Remember friendship is magic!” Satoshi Tatsuo stared at the senior, ranting wildly to herself in a empty room. She was the resident freak of the school and all of her creepy shenanigans got her a warm bed in Uma-Machi Medical Institution. Sano-san lifted a cardboard box and began making phew phew sounds like she had a laser or something. The cardboard spilled its contents of packing paper and ribbons and the girl began to laugh and laugh. Looks like she's having fun in crazy town as always. Satoshi shook his head, sighing a dark trail of smoke and left the room quietly. “Wait! I saw you, Spike!”
