Uni the Unicorn kicked at a dandelion puff, sending a cloud of silvery seeds into the air. Despite her radiant horn and ethereal mane, she looked decidedly unimpressed with her own reflection in the water. "Why must I always be the unicorn? It's all sparkle this, magic that. I'd rather be anything else—maybe even a dragon," she grumbled, her voice echoing off nearby toadstools.

Uni pranced up the side of a boulder, puffing out her cheeks and pretending to breathe fire. "Roar! I am Uni the Dreaded, fearsome dragon!" she declared, waving an imaginary tail. But the only response was a flock of bluebirds giggling from a nearby branch. Uni sighed, sending a spray of harmless glitter instead of fire. "Even my roars are sparkly," she moaned.

Uni stomps through the undergrowth, trying to look fierce, but every step leaves behind a trail of rainbow hoofprints. "If only I were a dinosaur—big, stompy, and covered in scales! No one would ask me for magic rainbows then," she muttered. She tried a mighty dino roar, but instead, a burst of glitter erupted from her nostrils, making the pretend pterodactyls sneeze.

Uni curls up on a pillow, tucking her legs under like a cat. She practices her best feline yawn and attempts a purr, but her mane still sparkles and her tail twitches with magic. "Maybe I could be a house cat—napping all day, chasing sunbeams, getting belly rubs," she mused, closing her eyes in contentment. But even as she dozed, tiny glitter motes floated around her, settling on every surface and making the room shimmer.

Milo the Cat, stretching lazily, pads over to Uni. "Why do you want to be something else, Uni? You're the sparkliest, most magical friend we have!" Uni looks around at her friends, noticing how her unique sparkle lights up their faces. "I suppose being a unicorn isn't so bad, as long as I can still imagine being anything I want," she concedes, a shy smile spreading across her muzzle.

Uni trots in a joyful circle, her sparkles swirling in the air like tiny fireworks. Milo bats at a floating glitter mote, while the dragon plushie and dino figurine look on with admiration. "Maybe being a unicorn means I can be anything—because imagination is the real magic," she declares. And as twilight falls, the meadow shimmers with laughter, friendship, and the brightest sparkle of all: self-acceptance.
