Just before Peach dealt the
fatal blow,Fang Duck vanished,
screaming vows of vengence.
Peach slumped down against
the wall, gasping for breath.






After a while, he deemed him-
self strong enough to walk,
and started back.  Now that
Fang Duck is gone, what comes
next? 
Peach noticed that everyone
else had gone from the land,
and he didn't think that he
cound make it back to the
coast.






Losing all his strength again,
Peach collapsed,sobbing.
He didn't even see the magenta
light filling the air around
him.
When Peach awoke, he sensed
the land felt different some-
how. Losing his sorrow in the
wake of this curiosity, peach
started hiking to the burned
shack he saw on the way there.




Upon reaching the top of a
ridge, an amazing view came
to Peach's eyes. It was if the
land hadn't changed a bit, as
if Fang Duck had never been in
power, as if --
"Hey!  What're you doing
there?! Get outta my cow pas-
ture!"








    
The voice startled Peach,
and he spun around to face the
source. An angry chipmunk was
calling from the distance.
Norumbega was back to normal!
Peach hadn't the foggiest
idea why, but it was! Laughing
hysterically, Peach ran down
the hill, heading for the
coast.




The farmer watched the young
lobster disappear into the
distance.  "Kids keep getting
stranger every day", he 
mumbled, trudging back to his 
chair.
