You went to tha mainland, caused an international weather crisis, came back, still got to meetin’ your idol, saved her life from tha legendary serpent of tha isles, met tha princess and made it out alive?” High Stakes said incredulously to her friend, Coco.         “Oh my yes, it was mighty excitin’,” Coco replied.         “Well did you get to talk wit’ her?”         “Oh my, yes, she was everythin’ I exoected her to be.”         “And meanwhile, I get stuck housin’ tha whole o’ Bridle Bay ‘cause my lodges were tha only ones not knock flat by that wave.” High Stakes gestured around her, where hundreds of townsfolk milled about living their various lives.         “How did your lodge survive, anyway?”         “Gotta live the high life, baby! Gotta be takin’ tha risks!” High Stakes smirked.         “So, sheer luck then?”         “You be keepin’ my cousin outta this! He is not takin’ credit for another of my wonderfully planned successes!” The two pegasi shared a laugh at that.         “Too bad those ‘questris had to leave so soon...” Coco said to break the pause that followed.         “Wait, they’re gone? Coco, why didn’t you tell me? I never got tha chance to be tellin’ miss Applejack that I found her hat!” The End -OR- And they lived happily ever after (as far as I know)
