R.J. and the Yellow Scarf

EPILOGUE

On Saturday afternoon, R.J., Phillip, and Ogey finally got to play a game of hockey. They played a half rink game where one of them played goalie while the other two faced off. Whoever made a goal got one point while the other traded places with the goalie.

As they played their game, they did not notice two other boys watching them from a distance. Both of them were visitors from the past, Bill Badger and Freddy Fox.

"Well it's finally good to know that R.J. was for real," said Bill, "But I'm not so sure about that grandnephew of yours Freddy, not only is he good natured, he is also quite happy with himself."

"He is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen," said Freddy, "You should go back and give your medallion to Ferdy. He would love to see him."

"Remember what the Wise Old Goat said? It's not time for him to know who he is," said Bill, "Though I do find it odd that he has no problem with us looking."

"I know of one reason why I'm glad to see him," said Freddy, "It really shows that Ferdy and I can no longer keep messing up our lives as we were. One day, we might have children who will want to look up to us."

"You should also think about that in relation to poor R.J.," said Bill, "The only reason why he lives in Nutwood now was because his dad was put in prison. It just isn't right that a father cannot be with his child."

"But at least Phillip was there to take him in as a friend," said Freddy, "It wouldn't be that way if Ferdy and I both died because we did something dumb. Our future really is important, isn't it Bill?"

"It truly is Freddy," said Bill, "R.J. was certainly right about wanting you both to be saved. In fact he is so much like his granddad Rupert. I'm pretty sure that he will have many kinds of friends in a matter of time."

"Tell you what Bill, maybe while we are here you and I could have a little peak at our futures," said Freddy.

"But how can we do that if we don't know where to look for ourselves?" asked Bill, "It might take forever to find each other."

"You're right," said Freddy, "and for all we know we could probably be dead in this time period as well."

"With that in mind, we should probably think nothing more of it," said Bill, "Well Freddy, I think we'd better press these buttons and go back to the place we came from."

"See you on the flip side Bill," said Freddy as they both pressed their medallion buttons and vanished without a trace.
