Epilogue: The End and Beginning of it All
Ali woke to the bright lights of the hospital. She squinted painfully and managed to sit up. Ali realized that she had a broken arm and painful cuts and bruises all over herself. The same broken arm that the Uruk Hai had broken in Middle Earth; maybe Ali was dreaming she was in Middle Earth and had similar chronicle events like her broken arm.
The door to her room opened and a nurse walked up into the room. When the nurse turned to look Ali, she gave her one good look and screamed bloody murder. Ali was so startled that she started screaming, too.
The nurse turned and rushed out of the room. 'Well, that's nice, I scared her so bad she ran out,' Ali thought.
"She's awake, bless her! Miss Wimund's awake!" Ali could hear the nurse yelling down the hallway.
Soon the doctor, family and friends rushed into the hospital room. Ali looked around at all them.
"Ali, you're awake!" Elena and Ali's mom cried out.
"Nah, I really thought I was asleep, you guys," Ali said sarcastically.
"Far out, man," Eli said. Ali turned to grin at him, glad to see her two best friends there as well as her mother.
Ali's mom breathed a sigh of relief. "When Eli called and said you crashed into that tree and was in the hospital unconscious with a broken arm, I was so worried about you. I thought you'd die. You're so short and tiny."
Ali snorted with laughter. "Short and tiny? Why, mom, being short isn't all that bad. The smallest person can do just as much as a tall person can. Maybe better because they can slip out of tight spots."
"I thought you hated being short, Ali," Elena stated.
"I did," Ali said. "But not anymore."
"How could you change your mind, Ali? You couldn't have thought that while you were unconscious," Ali's mom said.
"Unconscious? How long was I unconscious for?" Ali asked, slightly surprised.
"Two months, almost three," Eli put in. "But today you seemed to be coming back into consciousness, you seemed restless."
"Restless?" Ali seemed even more confused. "What's the date today?"
"March the 3rd," Elena said.
Ali leaned back into her pillows. March the 3rd. That was the same date that she was getting restless in Middle Earth and the day she had to say goodbye to her best friends she could ever have there. The beginning and end of many things and Ali wished she could change a few things.
Eli, Ali, and Elena were walking home on the last day of school on May 31st. Eli, as usual was skating on his skateboard.
"Hey, Eli, can I have a try?" Ali asked.
Eli stopped his skateboard and went back towards Elena and Ali.
"I think not," Eli stated.
"Why ever not?" Ali demanded.
"You might crash into another tree and become unconscious again and I'm sure you're mother wouldn't appreciate that very much. And anyways, you still have a broken arm," Eli answered.
"Nope, not this time I won't. Don't worry about my broken arm. It will heal. Just this once, please?" Ali asked, giving a sad puppy face.
Eli sighed. "Fine, but I'll tell your mom I couldn't do anything about it if you got hurt, that you kept insisting."
"You do just that, Eli. I'm willing to take chances now," Ali said. She took the skateboard and started off, making sure she had perfect balance. Ali felt the breeze on her face and blowing her hair. This was the turning of a page in Ali's book, a new chapter in her life. Ali smiled as she pushed the skateboard to go faster. She finally felt at peace with herself and was truly back home.
A/n: Well, here's the Epilogue. The final chapter of it all, which really stinks, no? I hoped you all liked the story. Watch out for the sequel if I ever write it. Thanks so much for all of you who have read and review the story.
Angelofdragons- Thanks for the review! Yes, fiery emotions goin' on. Lots and lots of it, laugh out loud.
Kage Miko- Thanks for the review! Now that I think of it, yes she does!
Melissa Ocean- Thanks for both reviews! You see, I know I get reviews anyway, because fanfiction sends me an alert when I get a review for my stories, but I didn't feel like digging the emails out of the old mail folder and fanfiction was being overrun. But anyhow, thanks for the suggestions!
Sunni07- Thanks for the review! Well, this is really the last chapter, technically, but yeah, that was the last chapter. And keep on hoping for a sequel to this story because I think I might if I have the time and if I don't think of other stories to write about.
