Epilogue: Family Discussions

I closed the book and continued to sit on my son’s bed. I smiled at him and he smiled at me. I had been writing this story and each night I finished a chapter I would read it to him as a good night story.

“Daddy, did you really do all that? You know, going to E...que…stry...ah?” he said rather slowly as he tried hard to pronounce it correctly.

“Yes, Jason, it all happened, it’s a true story unlike many stories like it.”

“Are you really going to take me and mommy there someday?” He said hopefully.

“Yes I am, I just have to convince your mom to let us all go.”

“I hope she let’s us go soon, I can’t wait to meet Miss Pinkie and Rainbow, it’s going to be so exciting.” He said literally bouncing in his bed with excitement.

“Well you better rest up then, you never know when your mom might agree, and you will want all the energy you can get.” He nodded and slammed into his pillow and started mock snoring. “Goodnight to you little booger.” I said while giving him a small rub on the head.

“You too big booger.” he said with his eyes still closed as he cracked a smile. I quietly exited the room and turned off the lights and closed the door.  I walked down stair and found my wife Ruth washing the dishes.

“So how did the reading go tonight?” She asked without looking back to me.


“Oh, fine as always, along with the same plea he gives each night.” I said after kissing her on the cheek.

“And you two know the answer I give every night to the same plea.”

“And you know as well as I do that Jason and I am just going to keep bothering you until you give in. I mean, why don’t you want to go? We wouldn’t lose too much. We got a house over there along with new friends awaiting our coming.”

“You know me well enough to know that…”

“To know you don’t take to change to well. And here we are, you married to a scientist when you thought I was just a singer.”

“And you are a very good one, and I mean both singer and scientist. I just that I can’t stand to think of changing bodies, it’s just too much for me to handle.”

“Yet you were willing to change so much else. Ruth, how about I make you a deal. We go to Equestria, see if you like it by staying for one week, and if you haven’t changed you mind by then, then we all go back to living here. But if you change your mind and end up liking it then we will stay, who does that sound?”

“Well… maybe…”

“Just tell me when you are ready and I’ll be ready soon after.”

“Alright, but don’t hold your breath on me.”

“Fair enough, but one way or another we are going back to Equestria, whether it be days or years from now, we eventually will go.” I said with a smile. She nodded to be and continued her washing. I headed up to the room and sat down on the bed and began undoing to strings on my boots. Suddenly a light flashed from the foot of my bed. I looked and saw a small wallet. I opened it and found pictures of ponies and other things of Equestria. I noticed a bunch of bit inside of the money pouch and a small corner of a paper poking out from one of the pouches. I drew out the paper and read these words after a rough session of translation.

‘To a scientist who we all wish to return, with all our love no matter how long it maybe until he returns.’ Under those words were a load of signatures, all of which were from ponies of Ponyville. I smiled at it and looked at the ceiling with a sigh.

“Soon ponies, very soon.” I said. I grabbed the wallet and stuffed it into a draw were I kept several things of importance to me. I smiled and laid down in my bed, not even caring that I still had my lab coat, undershirt, and jeans on. My thoughts were consumed by the thought of seeing the ponies once again, and how they would react to my family, and slightly more important, how my family would react to them. All these thoughts consumed me until at last weariness over took me and chased me of to the land of dreams.
