Unicornia: The Dance Show

Chapter 1: Merry Music Day
The magic never stops in Unicornia. I discovered that the moment I stepped foot in the city. The air smells like sugar syrup, there are flying cars and buses in the sky, and unicorns are everywhere you look!
It really is magical—that’s the only word for it.
As you can imagine, it’s the best place in the world to live out a million different adventures!
I can tell that a new adventure is about to begin as soon as I meet Sara and Pippa outside the Unicornia Academy of Magic.
How can I tell? They’re both rehearsing dance steps!
“It’s nearly Merry Music Day!” Sara tells me.
“Merry Music Day?” My eyes grow as wide as wishing wells. I love music!
“It’s incredible. One of the best school days of the year!” exclaims Sara.
“What is it?” I ask. “What happens?”
“Ooh, lots of things,” Pippa says. “There are dances and every kind of performance—”
“And we have an idea!” Sara bursts in, bubbling with excitement. I can’t wait to hear what my friends have in mind!
“We’re going to prepare a dance routine!” Sara announces, throwing her arms wide in the air.
“Yes!” Pippa squeals. “And on Merry Music Day, we’ll perform it in front of the whoooooole school and everyone’s friends and families!”
I must admit, Merry Music Day is music to my ears! It sounds amazing!
All over the school, people are eagerly helping to get everything ready.
But something makes me a little nervous. Can you guess what it is?
Yep: I don’t really like dancing in front of so many people—I’ll be too shy! Plus, with Unicornia magic in the mix, you never know what might happen . . .
“I’m not sure—” I mutter, but my friends are too excited to listen.
Pippa and Sara start telling me what fun it will be to choose the music and come up with our routine together. We’ll meet up every day after school to perfect every single step.
“We can dance any routine we like!”
“And wear whatever we want!”
“We’ll have such a great time together!”
When I see how happy they are, I decide to ignore my nerves and focus on the adventure we’re about to have. And I love that we can pick our own outfits. I love dressing up! Don’t you?
Maybe I could borrow Pippa’s Superunicornia cape that I like so much. Or maybe even make my own—
“We could make our own magical costumes,” Sara suggests, as if reading my mind. This convinces me once and for all. I can’t wait!
Pippa tells us that even her parents will be able to come. For once, they won't be away on one of their increible unicorn-saving missions!
"We need to prepare something really, really special," she tells us, and we promise that it will be.
So, now that's settled...
It's time to get dancing!
