//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Bullies // by Waterwalker //------------------------------// It has been two weeks since that awful, awful night. After spending the night at Zecora's cottage she to me back to Ponyville, met up with Princess Purple, then they both took me home. My mom and dad was soooo happy to see me. Things are so much different since we moved here a couple of months ago. I don't know what happen, but no one bullies me any more. I now have many friends. Go on much safer adventures around the village. Anyway, here we are: me, mom and dad, Princess Purple, and Miss Apple Jack. All of us in the Everfree Forest, by the river. From the riverbank I looked at a quiet part of the river. "Mr. Water Walker, I came back to thank you, very, very much for... saving me." I looked down, but I only saw my reflection... rippling from my tears. As the quiet sound of the river I lowered my head close to the water, and whispered "I love you". Still there was nothing... everything was very, very quiet. Feeling sad I slowly turned around. "It's ok" Princess Purple softly said "I'm sure he heard you." I raised my head to look up to her, and was about to speak when sound, coming from behind me, of a roaring waterfall started. I spun around and stared... the calm eddy that was in the river quickly irrupted into a waterspout 4 feet high. The swirling water slowly changed its shape into the broadside of a... STALLION... the same one that had saved me! As all of us looked, mouths agape, he slowly turned his body towards me. "I love you too dear filly. I am so glad to see you… so happy and joyful." I galloped into the water with a smile on my face and gave him a huge hug around his neck. Just like last time: he was wet, and I could see through him, but solid. And even though the river was chilly he was warm. "I knew you where real." I sobbed "Everybody said I made you up. But I knew you were real." It was princess twilight that spoke first "Who, what are you?" "Hello Princess Twilight. My name is Water Walker."
