(Vegetables) Epilogue

Life after that went back to normal, or at least as normal as it could be for a coven of witches. After a series of repeat visits from the white rabbit, they got together with Mrs K and cooked up a batch of Carrot au Van¹⁶⁰ to prevent Arma-Veg-On.

The Agency tried to recruit them, obviously, but they were having none of it. Though Rosa did agree to work with Richard on purely a consultancy, building improbable stuff basis.

Felindre and Rosa celebrated their six month anniversary with a row, a bottle of champagne and a lot of chocolate cake¹⁶¹.

“The Art and Science of Fruit’s and Vegetable’s” is currently sitting amoungst Morwen’s other recipe books in her kitchen.

Snuffles the guinea pig was incarcerated in a maximum security petting zoo.

The chickens went through a phase of taking their hutch out for a spin, requiring Morwen to go collect them from nearby gardens, and in one notable case, a cornfield seven miles away. They soon realised that they actually preferred their garden and stayed put, though Snowball still kept climbing onto the roof.

Tom passed his probation with flying colours. Raven still kept sneaking down to play computer games on Richard’s computer.

Horace van Twaddle lost his role as Grand Master of the Most Ancient and Noble Order of Greengrocers, after a vote of no confidence was called by Mrs K. Shortly thereafter, he announced his retirement as the voice over from “Feast with Friends”, causing the series to end. Rumour had it that this was not his choice, and the series was in fact cancelled before he retired.

Mrs K was officially invested as Grand Master of MANOG, and her reign was a golden age for the grocers, in part explained by her new found fame after her and Megan’s vegetarian recipes video blog became a huge hit. A tv show is in the works.

Megan’s tuba case mainly gathers dust in the corner of her bedroom closet. She occasionally takes it out, when Pinky and Purple want to go to the museum.

The minions, Stuart and Dave, were tracked down and promptly recruited by the Agency. Hey, the good guys need minions too, and these guys had minioning talent and form.

The pigeons went back to doing the usual pigeon things, like terrorising small children for their sandwiches and perching on statues’ heads¹⁶².

The multi-coloured rabbits couldn’t hack it in the real world, but discovered, thanks to Pinky and Purple, that they really liked being pets. Sure enough, soon every film star and spoiled rich kid had a coloured rabbit as a pet. They lived in the lap of luxury, and never set paw on a super soaker again.

And Sissy? Well, that’s a whole other story.

___

¹⁶⁰ There was so much paperwork required to borrow a van from the Agency, they wound up using Richard’s car instead.
¹⁶¹ Just normal cake – don’t worry.
¹⁶² And not just perching, if you get what I mean.
