Hearts and Hooves, Claws, and Paws Day

by Sir_RedFox

Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

The sun slowly rises on the town of Ponyville. Every pony, either unicorn, pegasuses, or earth ponies still sleep comfortably in their beds. The first few rays of light start at the top of Princess Twilight's castle. The crystal formed castle absorbs and reflects the rays outward, making everything sparkle and shine.

The second object to be graced by the sun's rays is the School of Friendship. The face of a large clock tower shows one minute till 6am. With a loud click, the long minute hand moves atop the number 12 on the clocks face. The minute and hour hands of the clock now form a perfect verticle line showing 6am.

The bells inside the clock tower chime loudly, informing all students and facility of the School of Friendship, that the day has finally come to a start. But, it also tells everypony and creature, the start of hearts and hooves day. Not just for the ponies of Ponyville, but for six particular creatures attending the School of Friendship.

Really? You couldn't just combined this and chapter 2 together?

one reason I wanted to keep it separate, was because I wanted to introduce each of the Student Six with each chime of the bell tower. I might have also been drunk... or high.... or both; part of my writing method. Besides, Joe Hill's opening chapter to Horns was like two sentences. I guess writers write to what feels right

Than maybe it would have been best to change the title from Chapter 1 to Prologue

I agree. Renaming it to Prologue makes a lot of sense.
