A pale morning sun stretches shadows long and thin across the empty courtyard of Canterlot High. Dew beads on the grass, and a cool breeze stirs fallen leaves around the base of the central monument—a stone pony sculpted into human form. The school doors are shut, silent. Drawn by an instinct you can't name, you settle at the statue's feet. The air carries the scent of damp soil and something like potential. Then, from the direction of the parking lot, a flash of vivid, colorful hair catches your eye. Someone else is here early. What will you say?
