Hello, and I'm here with the last chapter of the New Universal.
Sorry about taking so long to update. I had some pretty severe writer's block-still kinda do, but I can write this!
Just so you know, it's been three whole years since the whole situation with the dragon-and how things have changed! Just how have they changed? Well, I guess that you'll just have to wait and see...
Anyway, I don't own the Companion Quartet.
Enjoy!
"Alright," Connie said, writing something on a clipboard. "Are you sure about this?"
Abby smiled at her. "Of course I'm sure. Come on, you know that they're all fine with you now."
Connie sighed. "Yeah, but...why?"
"Because you know that you missed them!" Abby said. "Don't try denying it-I can read your mind, you know."
"Regrettably," Connie muttered.
"I heard that," Abby giggled. "Anyway, let's get going." With that, she stepped onto the bus, pulling Connie with her.
Thankfully, there was nobody else on the bus-save the driver, who stared at them with wide eyes, clearly realizing who they were.
"W-Wait, aren't you the great Abby Jones?!" the bus driver asked.
Abby smiled at him. "We're just two girls heading to Hescombe, if you don't mind. Nobody important, really."
"B-But you two are Abby and Luna Jones," the driver said.
"Just look-alikes,'" Connie said. "I'm Connie."
"And I'm Lilac," Abby said, using a name that she often used-and one that Connie would probably pick on her for later, because it sometimes sounded ridiculous for...reasons.
"Oh," the driver said, slouching. "I see. Well, sorry for bothering ya. Looks like you're the only two on the bus. Sit anywhere ya like."
The two girls walked to the back of the bus and sat down just as the bus started moving.
A few hours later in Hescombe...
Col looked impatiently at his phone. "When's that bus gonna get here?"
"Col, you've been saying that for the past ten minutes," George, Col's little brother, who had decided to come with him, asked, yawning.
"The bus was supposed to be here ten minutes ago," Col said, looking at George. "And you didn't have to come, you know."
"You said that your girlfriend and her famous friend are coming," George said. "I wanna meet them!"
Col sighed. "Connie is not my girlfriend."
"Then why do you stay up late at night on the phone with her?" George asked, giggling.
Col sighed again. "She's just a friend."
"Aw, really?"
Col and George turned to see Abby and Connie walking over. Abby had a sly grin on her face.
"I thought for sure that my OTP was gonna go canon," Abby said.
"Seriously, Abby?" Connie sighed, glaring at her.
"Where's the bus?" Col asked.
Abby shrugged. "Broke down a half-mile back, so we walked over here. Sorry to keep you waiting."
"So you're the universal?" George asked, his eyes wide.
Abby looked at him, then crouched down, looking him in the eye. After a few seconds, she grinned.
"You must be George," Abby said.
Geroge's eyes grew wide. "You know my name?!"
"Of course I know your name," Abby said. "Connie told me about you-but you're much bigger than the picture she drew. Now," she said, standing up," I vote that we go do something fun. But first, since we're visiting for a few days, how about we go drop off our stuff?"
"You're not carrying much, though," George said.
Abby smiled, turning slightly so he could see her backpack. "I travel really light. By which I mean I can pack an entire five months worth of clothes into my backpack if I really try."
'She's done it more times than I care to say," Connie muttered. "But whatever. I miss Evelyn-let's get going."
So, with that, the four of them kept going on.
And that's it for this chapter-and fanfiction!
Yeah, I know, it was a short chapter, and a few things were left unsaid. So here's what else happened.
People found out about mythical creatures-let's just imagine how Connie's parents took that one, but it explained where she went. They tried to make her go back, but she refused, and Simon got to freely be in the Society without his parents being curious and cautious and angry about it. So that all went well, but the Society began to campaign for world-wide organizations to help save the planet-and they're on their way!
Oh, and as you can probably guess, the editor accepted Abby's books-now if only the same would happen to me…
Anyway, thank you for reading this fanfiction, and maybe I'll catch you in another fandom! Until we meet again!
Lunetheart out.
