~~~~~EPILOGUE~~~~~
Briar and her girls were having a good time with their new boys. They mostly hung out at the girls lodging house. Aki with Indigo, Princess with a tall tan boy named Stallion, Patchess with Hero, Pisky with a muscular boy named Crunch, and of course, Briar with Dagger.
Briar and Dagger were sitting outside of the lodging house, laughing and talking, when they heard a commotion inside.
"How dare you speak to me like that! I'm not just some common street trash like your past girlfriends!" Princess screamed, storming out of the lodging house with Stallion trailing behind her.
She whirled around to face him,
"And another thing! That nickname? I don't know WHERE that came from! But it's definitely not suiting, so, how bout I make up a new one. That ok with you, TINY?"
Princess ran down the street, kicking up behind her.
"Should we do somethin?" Dagger asked.
"Nah, she'll be back here, uh, 'making up' with him in no time."
"Oh that's good" Dagger turned to Stallion, "Ya hear dat Tiny?"
Stallion grumbled and stalked back inside. Briar suddenly burst into a fit of laughter.
"Whats so funny?" Dagger asked suspiciously.
"Nothin, nothin, it's just" Briar stopped to catch her breath "contrary to popular belief, the bad guys don't always lose"
Briar smiled evilly and gave Dagger a deep kiss, then dragged him inside the house.

Mrs. Pandor was cleaning up the lobby when Tinker, Quipster, and Quirky came bursting through the door full of excitement.
"Do you wanna sign the card Mrs. Pandor?" Quirky asked the old woman kindly.
She smiled "Actually I have my own card, for all of you." she said handing them a simple white card.
The girls thanked her and rushed upstairs into the bunkroom where Stress and Tunes were sitting on a bunk playing cards.
"Heya girls" Stress said brightly "whatcha got there?"
Quipster handed both of them a wrapped brown package.
"Wait! Read this first!" Tinker yelped, shoving a plain paper card at them.
Tunes cleared her throat and began to read "Stress and Tunes, we're very sorry about your war casualties, we hope this will make up for it. We love you guys. Best friends for now and forever, Quirky, Quipster, and Tinker."
"War casualties? What are you guys talking about?" Stress asked.
Quipster hushed her, "Open them!!"
Tunes, being ever so greedy opened hers first.
"MY SKIRT!" she screamed hugging the red fabric to her chest.
"Itey didn't really steal it, we took it so we could sew it back up for you." Quirky explained
"Itey is a pants thief though." added Quipster.
Stress then opened her package. She took out a small black box that contained a beautiful silver necklace. She was speechless.
"I-Is this my necklace?" she asked, her voice quivering.
"The one and only" Quirky smiled, seeing the joy they had brought to her friend.
"I found it in the road and we took it to the jeweler, who cleaned it up and re-attached the clasp" Tinker told her proudly.
"Oh, that must have been expensive." Stress began to felt a pang of guilt.
"It cost a coupla bucks, but don't worry about it, I'm rich." Quipster laughed.
"From all the whoring around" Tunes added, exploding with laughter herself.
Her laughter soon turned into tears. That triggered Stress to begin crying as well. Quipster, Tinker, and Quirky just stared at the two girls who sat on the bunk sobbing.
"Um, why are you crying?" Tinker asked.
"Ok, so maybe there are a couple of flaws on the skirt but I swear, it was all Quirkys fault!" Quipster blurted out.
Quirky looked at her with a mix of shock and confusion, "What?!"
"no, no, no, it's not that" Tunes sniffled.
"It's just that, you guys went to so much trouble to make us happy!" Stress said, finishing Tunes' sentence.
"Of course we would!" Quipster said softly, sitting down next to Stress.
"Yea" Tinker added as she sat next to Tunes "I mean, you guys are like our sisters." she said beginning to cry as well.
"Well don't dry those tears just yet" said Quirky handing them the card written by Mrs. Pandor. It read:
Dear Girls,
We've been living here together for a few years now and I've always felt a bond with you all. I would just like to tell you that I have never been so worried about anyone in my life than I have about you girls this past week. You girls are very mature, but, you're still children and can't take care of yourselves. I have no family, no one to care for. What I'm trying to say is that I would like to more than your landlady, I would like to become your legal guardian. I care about you girls so very much and hope you will take this into consideration.
Love,
Mrs. Pandor
The girls looked at each other and began to cry once again. Now, not only did they have great boyfriends, and dedicated best friends. They now had something none of them have had in awhile. They now had a family.
