The stage lights come on. The audience is silent. The judges wait, unsure of what’s about to happen.
A small girl steps onto the stage. Her clothes are torn, her shoes worn out. In her hand — just a single slice of pizza.
No one understands what her talent could be.
She walks slowly to the center. Looks at the slice. Takes one quiet bite.
Suddenly, a soft glow begins to surround her. The light grows warmer. Her body starts to shimmer gently, as if she’s made of stardust.
The audience leans in.
Then — she begins to dissolve into a golden liquid, rising and swirling into the air like a ribbon of magic.
A quiet boom of light fills the stage.
From that glow… a new figure emerges.
Tall. Beautiful. Confident.
No longer in tattered clothes — now wrapped in elegance. Her eyes shine with strength. She stands still, powerful, transformed.
The slice of pizza? Gone.
Her hands are empty now — but her presence says everything.
