Twilight Shine Pt 1

Twilight a stands facing a mirror. He lifts his navy blue mane between his fingers and stares at it. Then he raises a pair of safety scissors and winces.

"You can do this Twilight." He says to himself and begins cutting the long luxurious locks. Slowly at first but eventually he picks up speed and the room fills with the frenzied snipping of the tiny blades. At the end he's breathing heavily and the mane has become significantly shorter, now styled in a young boy's fashion.

"Twilight?" Spike's voice calls from outside the room, startling him slightly.

"Twilight I need your help! We're supposed to write a report to Princess Celestia!"

Twilight stood still and quietly, there was no going back now, with the floor covered in bits of mane, though that did not stop him from feeling fear. Maybe if he just stood still long enough everything would-

"Twilight Sparkle?" Spike called again.

A sigh escaped Twilight's muzzle.

"I'm coming!"
