Pokey alt timeline happy ending

And as soon as he threw open the front door...

...Ness's heart quite literally jumped into his throat.

Standing there...with his round face and his blond hair, wearing his worn-out
denim overalls and carrying some heavy-looking luggage, was...

“...Pokey...?”

“Oh!” cried the figure standing before him. “Welcome home, Ness!” He smiled,
and dimples appeared on his plump cheeks. “Perfect timing! I just got home, myself.”

Ness's first thought, of course, was that this was Pokey, and he seemed to have
responded to that name, but...could it really be? Was this really Pokey?
He certainly looked like Pokey, but...now that Ness got a better look at him, he
seemed entirely different. First of all, he was a different kind of chubby. The original
Pokey was always strangely pale, and was flabby and bloated in a very
unhealthy-looking way. This Pokey was well-tanned, and his physique was muscular
and sturdy. He looked almost like a professional weight-lifter. And his expression
wasn't anything like that nasty, dim-witted kid with his twisted personality. His smile
was warm and pleasant, and his eyes shone bright.

[...]

“Well, well, welcome home, you two.”

“Welcome home, big bros!”

Ness's mother and Tracy had appeared. They were both wearing aprons, and
something smelled wonderful. And no matter how he looked at them, they were still
the same mother and little sister he had always known.

“Big...bros?” Ness repeated. Dumbfounded, he was knocked onto his backside
by one of King's attacks. “Then...then, Pokey is...Pokey is my...my big brother?”

“Why are you so surprised by that all of a sudden?” his mother replied, as she
knitted her pretty eyebrows. “Haven't you always been fond of your big brother and
little sister?”

“I've been really bored, you know,” said Tracy, with a pout. “This vacation has
been the worst! Papa and my big brothers never came back home, not even once!”

“I'm sorry, Tracy,” said Pokey, as he ruffled her hair. “There was a pretty
intense course I wanted to take. But I still have plenty of time left in my summer break
before I have to go back to college, so we're gonna do nothing but play from here on
out!”

“Yaay! ❤” Tracy cried.

“Okay, okay...come in, come in!”
His mama, Tracy, and Pokey headed inside the house. Ness stood in the
doorway, stunned, and all alone.

Huh? What? Wait a minute...he thought.

Pokey is part of my family...my big brother...and on top of that, he's already going to
college?

Black, stormy clouds began to swell in the depths of Ness's heart. Lightning
seemed to flicker and flash as he had a terrifying thought.
Is this just the beginning of new troubles? Is Giygas still inside that Pokey...hiding
out...and just waiting for his chance to be born again...?

But just then...

Buzz-buzz-buzz-buzz, buzzzzzzz!

It was a little beetle...a rhinoceros beetle. ...No, it was a Scaraba! One of those
bugs that were supposed to be extinct! It appeared out of nowhere and began to fly
around Ness.

<Congratulations! And, thank you for everything, Ness!>

“Buzz Buzz!” Ness couldn't help but cry out, then he hurriedly lowered his
voice. “You're alive, Buzz Buzz!”

<Thanks to you!> said Buzz Buzz, as he performed a skillful somersault. <This
space-time phase was displaced just slightly, and history was repaired. The world that
you all came from has been overlapped and absorbed by this world, where I did not
die. And it's all thanks to the efforts of you and your three friends. Giygas...that awful
monster, slunk back into some abyss in the many universes. The rift in time has been
closed, and it will not open again for at least another thousand years.>
