Tenth Song ♪♫ ((flirting curtsies to the thirteenth floor))

 I - [phone]

A-Ah, hello everyone...have any of you ever received an empty package? At least, empty of any meaningful objects...mine only had a picture on it, a small white orb...but I have no idea what it means.

Is the picture not supposed to represent an immaterial thing being returned? I don't remember ever having anything of that nature...I'm so very confused...

II - [action, all around town]
[Still horribly confused about what's happened (and whatever a "light orb" might be), Kotomi tries to go through the rest of her day as normal as possible. She can be found virtually anywhere--at the school, at the grocery store, walking around, or at 728 Anderson, and all looks normal. Except, if you can sense that kinda thing, she seems to be radiating a large aura of magic, very pure and untainted magic, enough to make anyone who didn't know she had this sort of "power" (read: everyone) do a double-take.

She herself is blissfully unaware of any of this.]

[She seems completely enraptured by this explanation.] Royal family? So there is a "queen" or "king" alicorn, then?

[magicalrealist]

Not exactly, but there are two rulers who work together to take care of Equestria: Princess Luna and Princess Celestia. Together, they raise the sun and the moon each day.

[heartmaestro]

Ah, so a mythological history is their basis. The names do match...

[magicalrealist]

Very much so. Most of the time, a pony's name reflects their special talents or even their personalities. My friend Fluttershy, for example, can be very timid and...well, shy. She's an incredibly kind pony, though.

(She giggles. Fluttershy was so adorable...)

[heartmaestro]

[She purses her lips.] Then what does "Twilight Sparkle" say about you?

[magicalrealist]

(It takes her a while to come up with an answer to that. Her own name was pretty damn random wasn't something she normally thought about, but after some thought...)

It could possibly say several things. I do enjoy stargazing whenever I can, but that's only one of the things I usually do. Maybe it could stand for the bright light of magic since unicorn horns glow when magic is used and magic's my special talent. It could also refer to my cutie mark, but I've had my name long before I had that, so I'm ruling out that option.
