Epilogue (Lofty Withers)

“And then the boat sank.”

Twilight sucked noisily on the dregs of her Mai Tai before setting it aside. Adjusting her sun visor, she reclined her chair. “Pinkie, that makes no sense.” She gestured at a passing beachboy, taking another drink from his tray. ”Rarity, tell her that makes no sense.”

“Perhaps you’re simply confusing it with that time with the cucumbers and the bunyip.”

“Hmm…” Pinkie bit her lip, cocking her head as she thought. A smile exploded onto her face as she bounced up and out of her seat. “You’re right, and you just reminded me. I lost the game! Be right back. Gotta go clear my mind.” She pronked towards the diving board.

Twilight sat up, yelling after her. “Wait! You didn’t say what happened next.”

“Maybe I’ll tell you later,” she called back, bouncing off the board and into the pool.

“I lost the game,” said Rainbow, nonchalant.

“Me too,” added Fluttershy.

Twilight turned to them. “What game?”

“You’ll be happier not knowing, darling. Believe me.”

Twilight stared at them a moment before conceding, muttering under her breath as she leaned back.

“I’m glad you’re letting it go, darling. Sometimes, letting go and moving on is really the best thing to do.”
