-1Epilogue
Hilary's thoughts had taunted her with the subject of Falkor, she didn't want to think about him. Anything but him. She had hatched an idea that a good walk around the block would do her ill thinking some good.
Closing her front door and walking down the steps, Hilary found the warm breeze quite nice against her skin. Without a second thought she started down the sidewalk until she happened to step on a lone piece of paper.
"Ugh… I hate litter'ers!" Hilary complained as she took her foot off of it and picked it up. She noticed that the handwriting all over the parchment looked familiar. The curious pretztail found herself reading the message out loud, luckily no one was near enough to hear her. She had also found out that she was the one to write the message, the exact same letter Falkor was talking about earlier.
"…He wasn't lying…" Hilary gasped silently to herself as the wind unexpectedly picked up, blowing the paper out of Hilary's paws, "No-o-o!" She yelled out, chasing after it.
Falkor wound up back at the front desk of the hospital. There was no trace of his friends anywhere, as if they had just vanished from the face of the earth.
"…You find them?" the receptionist asked Falkor, the fudgehog shook his head.
"No, no one's been able to find them, and they also say a patient had gone missing as well, they're looking into it, so far they've come up with nothing," Falkor sighed hopelessly.
"Hm… I knew there wasn't anything good about those two," she said. Falkor pictured Jorelo and Priscilla, nothing seemed wrong about them, what caused them to just disappear? Was it Malak's doing? It must have been. Falkor knew if the two piñata's were gone and Malak still remained out there somewhere, the fudgehog would be living in a doomed world.
Falkor didn't bother saying anything else to the barkbark, nothing seemed to matter anymore. Everyone he cared for was either gone or forgotten him. Maybe there was something back at the spacecraft that could put him out of his misery, there had to be.
As Falkor departed from the hospital doors his face was greeted by a familiar piece of paper.
"What the?" Falkor mumbled through the paper as he tore it off his face. He soon saw Hilary following right after it.
"Falkor!" she cried out, "I believe you!" Falkor tilted his head at her, was she just playing with him? But the surprise hug he received begged to differ. Hilary had remembered everything once he was in her arms. "I can't believe I had lived my life this long without you… I'm sorry, I should have told you were I was going back then in person Falkor," the fudgehog wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back, resting the side of his head on hers.
"Don't be sorry…" He let out a sigh of relief, "be thankful," Falkor was indeed thankful, Hilary had just saved him from eventually taking his own life. But now Falkor was given hope and that hope was Hilary. There was a bright future for Falkor and for Hilary, and as time went on, the memories of Jorelo, Pandora, Priscilla, all them, even Melony, had started to fade until it was like they never existed.
Eventually, Hilary had bore Falkor children. However the fudgehog had iffy thoughts of being a father, seeing as his father wasn't really there in his life much. Even with such bitter memories under his belt, Falkor turned out to be the ideal father his children needed, Hilary couldn't have been more proud in her life.
And as the years went by, the two had then grew old and died together when their time came. Falkor, unlike his friends, had gotten to live a happy life despite the horrible mistakes he had made in the past.
