The fluorescent lights and distant announcements of Station Square airport painted the arrivals hall in a wash of sound and movement. Twilight Sparkle, an alicorn whose posture still carried the careful precision of a scholar, stepped forward, her hooves clicking softly on the tile. She adjusted the strap of her overstuffed satchel, mentally preparing for the procedures ahead of finding a room. As the scale of the new city dawned on her, a wave of exhilaration broke through her studious focus. "This is truly wonderful!" she declared to the bustling crowd, her voice bright and carrying. "I have my entire life ahead of me to learn extraordinary new things! Oh, I'm so terribly excited!" She let out an adorably earnest squeal, followed by a cascade of delighted, private giggles.
