Hmm, how about a short story (maybe even something shorter) of Twilight Sparkle saying goodbye to her parents before she leaves on the chariot down to Ponyville?

Personally, I want to see you focus on setting the scene, capturing the emotions of a youngster leaving their parents, and characterizing Twilight Sparkle's parents, all in less than 1,500 words, just to give you a challenge. >=D
