Epilogue

A few weeks later, under the bright light of a super-moon, Mikey was excitedly skating along the rooftops, performing jumps and tricks while his brothers whooped it up all around him. All four were thoroughly enjoying themselves in what felt like the party which never ended, though there had definitely been a hiccup in the mood during the whole Cottage Cheese Demon incident.
