Elise lay flat on her stomach and set the egg onto a cushion. Toying with her hair nervously, she stared unblinking at Ally the Metal egg. Come on, Ally! Hatch!
Closing her eyes, she crossed her fingers. Come on. Please hatch, don't let all that work go to waste! Opening her eyes just a crack, she saw Ally shiver just a little. Her eyes flew open. She was HATCHING!
The small shiver grew. Shivery shiver. Elise stared excitedly as Ally gave one violent shake and there came a tiny crack on her surface. Dropping the lock of hair she was fiddling with she leaned a little closer. Ally was HATCHING!
The crack grew... and it grew until the one part of the shell was completely cracked. Then, something pushed the little shard of metal out of its way and in a silvery mist, a shadowy figure delicately climbed out of the shell. A note grasped in its beak, it sat for a few moments, growing quickly.
By the time the mist had disappated, there was a beautiful
silver eagle standing on the cushion, its knowing eyes boring into Elise's. Feeling proud, Elise took the note grasped in the eagle's beak.

Smiling she held her arm out to Ally the Silver Eagle. Once Ally had perched comfortably onto her arm, she picked herself up and long ponytail swinging, stumbled towards Professor Schirmer.
"Thank you for a lovely term, professor!" she said, smiling widely.
"And thank you for Ally, she's amazing!"
And with that, Elise twirled successfully out of the classroom. Wings flapping happily behind her, was Ally the Silver Eagle.
