-- EXTENDED ENDING --
"Have a wonderful summer, my little ponies!" Cheerilee called after her students as she waved them out of the school for the day. "I'll see you all in a couple of months!"
The kids shouted back their farewells as they made their ways far away from the schoolhouse, now finally free from the binds of work and out in the open and possible happiness of summertime up ahead. Fun was the only thing on their minds.
Letting out a relieved sigh, Cheerilee made her way back into the schoolhouse and sat at her desk, opening a drawer and picking up the receiver of the rotary phone inside.
She dialed a number she hadn't called in a long time...
...and she wasn't surprised on how she was greeted.
"Oi, sis! How're ya doin'? You still teaching them 'lil brats their ABC's?" a voice hollered.
Cheerilee rolled her eyes. "Hello, Berry," she replied. "And to answer your question, no. It's summer now, so thankfully, I have a break."
A hiccup was heard, and then came the response.
"Oh, yeah," Berry slurred. "I forgot. So, uh, whatdya need? It's not money, is it?"
"No," Cheerilee said. "I was wondering if I could join you for drinks tonight."
"Woohoo! Hay yeah you can! Girls' night!" Berry shrieked, only before she cleared her throat. "Ah, ponyfeathers. The cops gotta take away my cell. I'll see you at the bar later, 'kay?"
"Wait, did you say the co-"
"See ya later, sis! Drinks all around! Yeaaaaah!"
And thus, a click was heard, ending the call.
