//------------------------------// // How It All Ends (Epilogue) // Story: The Three Castaways // by sonicfan05 //------------------------------// - Two Weeks Later - Trixie was walking down the hallway with a deep scowl on her face. After those two girls dropped the bombshell on her, Trixie haven't spoken to them since. However, after she got home, she received an earful from her scolding parents about disappearing on them without giving them any updates. She tried to explain to them that her situation wasn't her fault and that her phone was destroyed from the shipwreck, but her parents wouldn't listen. Her parents grounded her for a month and then applied her to a six week summer school program at Canterlot High School as punishment for her actions, which was where she is now. And she hated every moment of it. While Trixie never talked to both Pinkie or Sonata, she had heard some updates from her best friend, Starlight Glimmer, after Starlight recovered from her sickness. Starlight told her that Pinkie and Sonata were also punished from their relatives for not telling them where they were after the boat accident and for making them worried sick, which was the best news Trixie heard in weeks. Starlight didn't say what kind of punishment they're getting, but it'll be somewhat less severe compared to Trixie, much to Trixie's displeasure. Starlight also told Trixie that when Sonata's sisters found out what happened, they hunted down the Flim Flam Brothers who was supposed to be watching them. When they returned a day later, they say that the brothers 'have learned their lesson' about ditching their sister and that they will be going away for a while before they attempt to scam again. Trixie shuddered at the thought what if Sonata's crazy sisters found out about her almost ditching Sonata with a repaired boat. On top of that, Starlight also told her that the monkey was actually from the local animal shelter where the shy one of the Rainbooms worked. Apparently, that monkey was known as the trouble maker from the shelter and about several weeks ago, it escaped from that place and then he ran to that beach and hid there since. That whole thing with the tree that she cut down was his home was just a big lie. She never thought she could hate a monkey in her entire life. At least she will never see that no good pest ever again. It was without a doubt, the worst week of summer she ever had in her life, all because of those two girls and that evil monkey. While Trixie was mad at those girls... and still is, she will admit that she had... fun... as disturbing as that sound. She can see why Starlight insisted on being friends with the those girls and also paring with Pinkie in the first place. While they may be a handful and drive her crazy, those girls were also good people and they have big hearts. They were also surprisingly mature and understanding when it matters, especially when Trixie had a breakdown. Overall, they were good company. Since those two girls already considered Trixie as their friend, does that mean she felt the same way with them? ... No... at least not yet. Trixie will consider giving them a chance the next time they meet, but until then, she would rather keep her distance. After all, she still blame them for all the trouble they caused her throughout that week and put her in this situation in the first place. Trixie finally arrived at her designated classroom that she will be spending for six weeks of summer. Before she could enter, the door opened and a grumpy woman with purple dress, light purple scarf, dark purple pants and huge round earrings stepped out and gave Trixie her leveled stare. "You're late Ms. Lulamoon," she stated. "Since you're going to attend my class, I expected you to be here on time in the future. Now take your seat." "Yes Mrs. Harshwhinny," Trixie said dully, resisting the urge to roll her eyes. Mrs. Harshwhinny stepped aside to let Trixie enter the classroom. As soon as Trixie entered the room, her eyes widen in shock. There were two more students already sitting at their desks. One was doodling taco people on their desk and the other was waving at her with her huge smile on her face. "Hey there Trixie!" Pinkie chirped. "It looks like we're gonna be classmates for the summer. Isn't that great!?" "Yeah!" Sonata chimed in, now looking up from her drawing. "I can't wait to tell you more of my taco stories; like that one time I wrestled some kid so I can get to the last taco at Taco Castle. I was pretty much banned for life after that, but it was totally worth it!" Trixie's pupils shrink to the size of needle pins. Those girls were the last people she wanted to stuck with for summer school. It was bad enough that she spent a week of torture with these girls, but now she's going to be stuck with them for six long weeks of summer school! This can't be happening! Trixie thought as she was shaking in a panic. I'm forced to spend my summer with them! NO! I just went through a whole week of torture! I don't want to go through all that again, let alone six more weeks! Can this get any worse!? "Before we begin our class, I have an announcement to make." said Mrs. Harshwhinny. "Our local animal shelter has reached out to us that one of their animals needs to be cared for since they do not have a home for him yet. So I volunteered to watch him not only we'll have him as our mascot, but also as an opportunity for you girls to learn about caring an animal as your summer project. I'm sure you girls will make him feel right at home." Just then, they heard a knock coming from their classroom door. "Oh! That must be them with our beloved creature now!" said Mrs. Harshwhinny as she made her way to the door. She opened the door and reveled to be the animal lover and one of the member of the Rainbooms, Fluttershy. "Hello Mrs. Harshwhinny!" Fluttershy greeted with a wave. "Thank you so much for doing this. This will give us some time to find a proper home for this poor creature." For the first time today, Mrs. Harshwhinny smiled. "For you, anytime Miss Fluttershy. You're one of the few students I would gladly help out." Fluttershy beamed and then she turned around behind her. "You can come in little one," Fluttershy beckoned softly. As soon as the creature entered the room, both Pinkie and Sonata gasped in delight while Trixie had a look of horror on her face. "BOB!" Pinkie and Sonata cried in union as they ran up and gave Bob their hugs. "It's so good to see you again Bob!" Sonata laughed happily. "Yeah, now our summer classes will be ten times more fun!" Pinkie added with glee. As the two girls continued to hugged him, Bob turned towards Trixie and he gave her his evil, sinister smile as if to say 'I'm baaaaaaaaaaack.' Trixie clenched both sides of her head and then screamed out towards the heaven in despair. “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
