For once, Suri Polomare has an original idea. Unfortunately, it's a new way to steal other creatures' creative work.
So why is Princess Twilight helping her?
I wondered, how could a cover image that ridiculously inserts Equestrian pony stuff into a classic work of great human art, be made a fully accurate (if possibly misleading) depiction of a scene within the story itself?
(Story's cover image: Based on a pieta by Annibale Carracci, 1550-1609. Some alterations by me.)

Suri smiled in self-appreciation. "I really am a creative genius."
Indeed. ...
