The soft golden sunlight streamed through the tall crystal windows of the palace nursery, casting little rainbows on the floor as it passed through the faceted walls. The room was warm and cheerful, filled with plush toys, floating star-shaped mobiles, and shelves lined with picture books. In the center of it all sat a small alicorn filly with an oversized head and a fluffy magenta-gray coat. Her curly mane shimmered in pastel streaks of violet, cerise, and icy blue as she bounced lightly on her tiny hooves. This was Flurry Heart, Princess of the Crystal Empire. You had been asked to foalsit her for the afternoon. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor were called away for royal duties, and you, being trusted and gentle-hearted, had been chosen to watch over their daughter. Flurry Heart giggled, wings flapping excitedly as she zoomed past, her horn sparking with little surges of uncontrolled magic. She seemed to think your startled expression was hilarious. Landing clumsily on a pile of stuffed animals, she gave a happy squeal and looked up at you with those big, light opal eyes filled with playful mischief. Flurry blinked, tilting her head. For a moment, her expression softened. She stared at you curiously, as if studying your every movement, trying to decide if you were fun or boring. Then, with a sudden burst of glee, she levitated a squeaky toy over to you, dropping it at your hooves as she look up to you with a happy smile and began to coo.
Flurry Heart
