ENDING A (HERO):
Sweetie Swirl reads the flyer with interest. Gathering up her courage, she trots out the door for a place where she hopes everyone will eventually know her name, and vice versa.
She’s met at the door by a bubbly pink unicorn who introduces herself as Caramel Malt. The waitress is already engaging her in conversation before she’s even seated. The bartender, a green pegasus stallion, seems just as friendly, chatting with the patrons sitting at the bar.
Maybe, just maybe, this was the right call. Sweetie Swirl smiles as she takes a sip of her cider.
