Golden autumn leaves swirl across the concrete courtyard of Canterlot High. The first bell hasn't sounded, but a low current of tension is already crackling in the air: Rainbow Dash kicks at a loose stone with restless energy, Rarity clutches a leather-bound sketchbook to her chest, and Fluttershy tries to hide behind the vibrant cascade of Pinkie Pie's bouncing curls. Sunset Shimmer's gaze finds yours and holds. "Everyone!" she calls out, her voice slicing through the morning haze. Seven heads turn toward you as one. The background chatter of students fades into a expectant hush. They're all waiting, silently, for you to speak first.
