Afterward

“Now,” Sam continued, looking into the camera, “everything is back to normal.”  She paused.  “Well, almost normal.

     “Danny and I are still friends, now that that whole ridiculous argument is over.  Tommy is still making plans and adventures.  Chuckie is still learning how to be brave.  Tucker is still making jokes and hanging out with the babies.  And Phil and Lil are still acting like, well, Phil and Lil.  Anyway, all of us are still the same.

     “First of all, as you may want to know, all of our parents’ loved the Valentines Day Pictures.  My Mom went to a photography store to make our group picture a bigger size.  I didn’t really care whether she put it our living room wall or anything.  I want to treasure this picture for the rest of my life.

     “Dash and Quan still continue to taunt Danny, Tucker, and me.  None of us have discussed what happened on Valentines Day.  And we never told anyone about what happened that day either.  And we’re just fine with that, because that’s the way everything should be.

     “As you probably figured out already, Danny and Bart have forgotten about their past differences.  Bart is the same person he was, and always will be.  He will every once in awhile get angry with us, but quickly catches himself (Well, most of the time anyway.).  Bart’s much nicer to us now.

     “Bart still likes to pull pranks on people, but most of them are harmless ones now.  He had to leave town to go back to Springfield because the baby was going to be born soon.  Bart came back to Tommy’s house with his Mom two weeks later so we could see his new baby sister, Lisa Simpson.  She’s very cute!  It turns out that when Bart said he had plans for his new sister, he meant that he was going to teach her some new things.  I guess all Bart needed was a friend.  And he got a handful of them!

     “Bart ended up joining our ghost group.  He’s not very good at keeping secrets is the problem.  So, Danny, Tucker, and I told Bart he could join if he didn’t tell anyone about it.  Bart promised that he wouldn’t tell, and whenever he came over, he would teach us some of his skateboarding and slingshot skills.  He’s actually pretty good at it (And he actually knows how to make slingshots!)!

     “Now,” Sam concluded, “I think that’s the end of my story.  Thanks for listening!”  She stood up and turned off the camera.

     “That was pretty easy!” Sam admitted.  “Now, I need a juice break!  All of this story telling is making me thirsty!”
