//------------------------------// // Epilogue // Story: Turtles of Equestria // by Wildcard25 //------------------------------// It had been a few days since Starlight returned to Equestria, and the ninja team returned to New York. Things at CHS went back to the way they normally were, especially for the Rainbooms. Then one night at Sunset's place. The girl was in her loft bed sleeping peacefully, until something bright shined through her large window. It made her cover her eyes, before waking up, "What is that?" she looked out her window before seeing something falling from the sky, "Is that a meteor?" she gasped, before climbing down from her loft, slipped into her slippers, and dawned her jacket before going outside. She watched from her apartment porch the unidentified object falling from the sky before crashing into the park, "Oh, my gosh." she gasped, before running off for the park. She ran before happening upon a crater and something in it. She got down and tried to pick it up, but pulled her hand back quickly, "Yow! Hot!" she gasped, before removing her jacket and wrapped it around the object to avoid burning herself, "What is this thing?" she flipped it over and came face to face with the head of the inactive Fugitoid. Sunset gasped at what she was holding, "Fugitoid?" She looked him over seeing his eyes were blank, until suddenly they started beeping until they finally came online fully functional, "Oh, my! That was quite a landing." he told himself. Sunset Shimmer looked shocked seeing he was functioning again, "Professor Honeycutt?" she asked. The professor's eyes suddenly saw who was holding him up, "Sunset Shimmer? Why, how fortuitous!" his eyes beeped a overjoyed expression. "Are you ok?" she asked in concern. "Aside from being bodiless, I am A-Ok, as they say." he chuckled. Sunset's eyes filled up with tears, before holding the robot head up dropping her jacket in the process, "Professor!" she cried, before hugging the head to her chest. "Well, this is a charming welcome back." Fugitoid chuckled fro the cuddling. "Professor, I missed you so much." Sunset told him. "As have I to you." "I can't believe you really survived the explosion." she said incredulously. "Surprised me too." the robot admitted. "I'll bet," Sunset smiled, before looking around noticing nobody else was coming, "Come on, let's go back to my place." she put her jacket on and carried Fugitoid's head back. After returning to her apartment, Sunset Shimmer sat on her bed with Fugitoid's head propped up so he could look up at her. The girl had told the Professor just about everything that happened since he sacrificed himself to save the planet earth and stop the Triceratons. Needless to say the Professor was in shock, "Oh, dear. Drift around the earth for a couple months and so much goes down." he said. "I know. But it all happened." Sunset confirmed. "My condolences for the loss of Splinter." Fugitoid apologized. "Thanks," Sunset smiled, and spoke, "I really missed you so much." "I'm grateful to hear that." "But we gotta do something about your bodiless state." Sunset noted. "Yes, but how?" Fugitoid asked. "I'll talk to Twilight tomorrow, maybe she can make you a makeshift body or something." "I hope so. What I wouldn't give to walk again." Sunset chuckled, "In the meantime, we'll keep this between us. And wait a bit to tell the girls and even the turtles." "I understand." Fugitoid replied. "In the meantime," Sunset yawned, "I need some sleep." "Agreed." Sunset laid back in bed before holding Fugitoid's head close, "Goodnight, Professor." she yawned. "Goodnight, Sunset Shimmer." Fugitoid replied, before going into hibernate mode. Sunset Shimmer slept peacefully as she held one of her dearest friends close to her, even if he was just a head.
