After a night of fun and catching up, two best friends begin their walk home. While everything seems well and good, even the most well-worn mask can have cracks.

This story was loosely based on the "Beautiful Sunrise" prompt from Bean's Writing Group. It started as something else, but I decided to create something different from that. Thus this story exists. I would like to thank my friends Bean, Mykola, Ran, Smokey, Gadot, and Short for all their help with editing and critiquing this story. I don't think I'd ever get this far without them.

Thanks so much again, Gadot. I wouldn't have been able to get the story to this quality without the help of you and the others!

Thanks fam! I'm happy to see that I've done this topic justice.

A pair of ponies walk down a street from a nightly get-together. They have smiles on their faces, truly enjoying their time together. For a yellow-furred unicorn stallion like Bright Cure, it is a respite he truly needed. To many who know him, he always has a smile on his face, always seemingly joyful, almost infectious to whoever is with him.

"I know this won't be solved in a day, week, month or even a year, but it doesn't mean we can't start the journey now. I won't abandon you now, Bright Hope. Not now, not ever. Friends to the end, remember?" she asks, smiling.

Which is it?

Whoops! Thanks for catching that! It's actually Bright Hope. Bright Cure was a previous name I've thought up for the character, my mistake!

Currently busy with IRL stuff dude. Thanks again for catching it, I'll edit it when I can!

This was a good use of a first story. The fear is well-realized and the voice is clear and effective. Even a reader who doesn't have this fear will be able to understand the way the ponies are feeling, and that's one of the most important things you can do in genres like drama and horror to avoid the issue of reliability being entirely subjective.
