Day 11: Draw a pony sharing a friendship lesson / Draw a pony making new friends.

I don’t know for sure if Blazewing and Pecan Sandy would make appearances alongside Tough Cookie and Syntax in their stories. However, I’m confident that if they did meet, they’d get along quite well. Both Blaze and Syntax share a love for reading and literature, and Tax might appreciate having somepony who can discuss such things with him on an even level, since Cookie’s not much for that sort of thing. As for Cookie, not only is she a self-styled connoisseur of her namesake, and would thus greatly appreciate sampling the treats Pecan specializes in, but she’s also an aunt, so she’d be a sort of ‘big sister’ kind of friend to the sweet and friendly pegasus. =)
