PANEL ONE: BEN and DYLAN chat, looking very relaxed and chummy with each other.

NARR:
Ben and I grew up together, went to school an’ all since kindergarten. We’re like brothers!

PANEL TWO: BEN picks up an apple that has a big brown bruise on it.

PANEL THREE: The apple glows with magic sparkles as it is suddenly perfect, and without blemish.

NARR:
Ben’s got a touch of green magic, which means he’s great with plants and growing things, and he can heal a bit.

PANEL FOUR: DYLAN waves to BEN as he drives away in his car. BEN waves back. DYLAN is eating the APPLE that Ben healed.

NARR:
He always knows how to make anyone’s day better, mine included.

PANEL FIVE: DYLAN pulls up in front of a quaint little cafe.

NARR:
My next stop is to grab the magical beverage known as coffee.
