Clementina - S05 E35

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 35

"We will continue to monitor this situation and bring further updates as events warrant. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming."

Long silence.

"And our Final Jeopardy category is...Sexual Perversions! Clue after this!"

As we emerged into the newly transformed world, the evening sky was full of purple clouds, many of which seemed to be racing this way or that.

The barn was different, it was larger and more spacious. Outside, surrounding the property, a huge castle wall had appeared, and our house had grown larger taking on a gothic architectural style.

The gates to the castle were open, and lurking in the archway were several creatures. One was a large unicorn, another an elfin woman, a third a creature that looked like a werewolf or something like that, and the fourth was a small, pint-sized fairy flying through the air.

"Wow." I said.

"Anybody up for a party?" my grandmother called. The creatures in the doorway nodded, and trotted into the courtyard. There were more creatures behind them. Just about anything you could name was there. A bigfoot-like creature, several more elves, a pegasus, a half-dressed vampire girl, lots of others. Into the castle courtyard they streamed.

From the Citadel, which stood off one side of the courtyard, the gar-girls swooped down to join the party, and from the direction of the barn, Princess Rosie appeared. Everybody was coming out. Music began pouring from hidden speakers somewhere in the courtyard. The party was definitely getting underway.

I had lost track of my mother and Clementina as the courtyard filled up, but Makala appeared by my side.

"Wow," I said. "The way this turned out is unexpected."

"If I had told you this was how it ended, would you have believed me?" she asked "Probably not," answered.

On the castle ramparts, I spotted my mother Gaia - and Clementina watching the sun set. I joined them.

Us three the saviors of our world and all those connected to it - stood arm-in-arm in loving silence watching the red sun under the purple clouds disappear below the horizon. None of us said anything. There was nothing more to be said. We were just happy to be there, in each other's arms, at the very beginning of the ever after.

You know, the ever after....

As in...

They lived happily ever after.
