It took a whole lot of persuasion and some of her widest, shiniest “Pleeeeeeeaaaaase?” eyes,

but Sweetie was finally able to drag Scootaloo out on a date. Well, she didn’t call it a date out

loud, but she’s going to refer to it as such for herself. Still, she got Scoots out here, and

that’s the key thing here. Skipping down to Sugarcube Corner, Sweetie dragged her orange

friend inside and sat down to a tall frosty chocolate milkshake, two straws please.

As the milkshake disappears more and more down those straws, Scoots can’t help but start to

enjoy herself, and her company, try though she might to hide it. Sorry Scoots, but your cheeks

betray you. Sweetie meanwhile has a secret wingman. I mean surely Rar- I mean, that

mysterious stranger in the background won’t possibly let this outing go badly, right?
