Here's my first entry into the #SatSunTails Microfiction contest by Rebecca Clare Smith.
There is a picture and a word prompt. Check out the site for both.

Title: Surprise Gift
"You made it."
Audriana turned, and smiled as Elliot walked toward her with
his hand extended.
"Of course I did," she replied, taking his hand.
Before she could speak again, he spoke, "Watch."
Butterflies came out from all directions and surround them,
swirling and twirling. Audriana's jaw dropped as she watched in amazement. She
jerked when she heard a whizz and a click immediately behind her head. Her
butterfly clip flitting through the air, joining the other real butterflies.
"What is going on?" she whispered, her eyes wide.
"Just watch, it's a surprise."
The butterflies gathered around the golden mechanical one, swirling
and gathering in tighter and tighter until it seemed like they couldn't get any
closer to one another.
The air shimmered and the butterflies burst forth into one
giant butterfly. All the different colors and sizes of the insects worked
together as one entity, with Audriana's hairclip in the center.
"Amazing," she murmured.
