Description:
“Ponies of Equestria! Your empress has arrived!” The Empress turned to address the audience, and they immediately burst into cheers. With a wave of the hoof, the crowd quieted. “It is my pleasure to introduce the 7th Annual New Ponyville Science Fair! As you all may know, I am here to personally judge the contestants work, starting with today’s presentations by the Youth Division of the competition! One young lucky filly or colt will recieve my recognition and support to be refined into one of Equestria’s greatest minds.”
The crowd lit up again, and Kid stiffened up a bit. As the Empress continued her speech, the little pink unicorn looked like he was doing everything he could to keep it together. “I’m the first up… that means she thinks I’m the one with the most promise.”
“What? Why are you boasting? I just asked if you could help us with our friend!” Krabby said, and Kid nearly jumped out of his skin. He glanced back at Krabby with a rough glare.
“Don’t sneak up on me!” He squeaked. “I’m not boasting, either, it’s the truth! I wouldn’t suggest that the Empress is impatient or anything, but the pattern is always the same. The presentation she visits first is almost always the winner, it’s happened five times out of the last six science fairs. I’m kinda really feeling the pressure.”
“Yeah, great, but- you’re not listening to me at all. Guh, forget it, I’ll find someone else- you know what, I’ll ask the Empress.” Krabby started walking toward her, before being lifted up with a surprisingly strong telekinetic grip. A panicked Kid dropped him right next to him, and looked him straight in the eyes.
“Are you crazy?! You don’t just… walk up to her casually like that! Are you an idiot?” He vented, and Krabby didn’t even flinch.
“I’ll walk up to whomever I please if it means it could save my friend. So if you don’t mind-” A shadow loomed over the two colts, and the both looked up to the imposing figure above them.
“Contestant Kid Prodigy… I’m expecting a lot from you, today. Don’t disappoint me.”
