xans[B&W, a unicorn in a glade]
Promise couldn't believe her eyes. She'd been running from that mean girl, Alicia, and decided to hide in the woods. It got late, and dark, and Alicia didn't find her. But Promise was too scared too move now that darkness had fallen. She had been sitting for some time when the moon had come out, and there before her eyes was the most enchanting creature she'd ever seen. It was sleek and almost seemed to shine in the silver moonlight, a grand unicorn grazing on some mushrooms. "Funny," thought Promise, "I didn't know they ate mushrooms." Curiousity got the better of Promise, and she slowly began crawling through the underbrush to get nearer the unicorn. Amazingly, she managed to do so without causing a ruckus that would alert the creature to her presence. ~SNAP!~ (crackle, pop) a dry twig broke under Promise's knee, and the unicorn's head swung up to stare in her direction. It's eyes widened as it saw not Promise, but the blue smurfs on her t-shirt. "No, no, not the Wee Free Men!" it whinnied, before whirling and racing off into the darkness.
Promise could only scratch her head in confusion, before standing up, and making her way back home.
Fin.
