    A Bikini Beach Summer
    by Daphne Xu

    Part 21
    Epilogue

Thanks to ElrodW, Bikini Beach's creator, for invaluable comments
on this story.  The Bikini Beach universe and its principal
characters are copyright 2001 by him.

Any comments about Bikini Beach, how it works, what it does, by
characters other than Anya or Grandmother are potentially
non-canonical and wrong.  As this story is told from a particular
point of view by the protagonist, this includes comments by the
narrator.  The protagonist, and thus the narrative, are what the
protagonist believes or interprets from what he is experiencing.
Thus some of the mechanics of BB are biased by the protagonist's
view and experiences.  Furthermore, because of the particular
viewpoint of the story, those errors often won't be corrected. 
When the errors are corrected, the correction will often be
disbelieved and rejected.

        Late Monday Afternoon, July 28

"How did it go?" asked Grandmother, when Anya returned from
seeing the new fourteen-year-old girl Tracy off to enjoy Bikini
Beach.

"Very well," answered Anya.  "The reality-shift is complete. 
Tracy Miura is now Bruce's twin sister.  Jill and Timothy have
never been murdered, and Peter was never arrested for the murder,
or sent here to become Ruth. Neither the eight-year membership
nor the lifetime upgrade were purchased."

"Tracy's reaction to being transformed?" asked Grandmother.

"Tracy was remorseful, shocked, horrified, overwhelmed, even
suicidal at what he'd done.  His parents were keeping him on a
tight leash before his arrest, not only to keep him from being
caught, but also to prevent him from turning himself in
voluntarily or killing himself in his distress. His only
complaint was to ask why I didn't change him to a little baby or
a 90-year-old woman.

"I was prepared to go the little baby route if he'd complained,
or become defensive or self-justifying about his crime.  But
there was none of that. Just overwhelming remorse at what he'd
done.  She seemed skeptical of my explanation that
seventeen-year-old male Tracy never existed, and the murder never
happened.  Jill Denison is still alive and well, as is Tim
Anderson.  Tracy's disbelief doesn't matter; she, like everyone
else, remembers only the new reality, in which she was always
Bruce's twin sister, and she never raped or murdered anyone."

"I'm seriously concerned that the magic may not react quite the
right way," said Grandmother.  "Supposedly, the reality-shift
means that Ruth never existed, but magic is more complicated than
that.  Undoing a lifetime membership and reversing the change may
not be that simple.  The magic may recoil or rebel instead of
vanishing, and we may not have seen the last of Ruth."

Anya said, "It would probably have been simpler to create a new
reality with another pretext for getting Peter the lifetime
membership as Ruth, but that would have been most unfair to Peter
-- and ultimately, might have led to the same controversy all
over again."

Grandmother replied, "Things would also have been simpler had
they let young Jennifer visit Spells R Us.  The Wizard was going
to do something about Anderson and his false jailing.  He saw
Anderson being murdered, one way or the other, either in prison
or outside upon being released."

"We don't know what that shifty old wizard would have done,"
replied Anya. "He has nobody but himself to blame for the
reputation he's got.  Also, that would still have left Jill
murdered -- probably."

"That's the usual way with murders; they stand unchanged. We
simply can't reality-shift away every murder that ever occurs."

"True.  In a sense, Jill got lucky that we had to repair our own
blunder. Another thing: we have to make triply sure that it never
gets out that a lifetime membership's change can be reversed --
through selling another lifetime membership with a reality-shift
in which the original lifetime membership was never purchased. 
Bikini Beach transformations are becoming an open secret, with
rumors abounding.  We mustn't let this ever approach that level.

"It's still sad.  A clique of BFFs was destroyed, and romances
nipped in the bud."

"But undoing the murders, and eliminating the rage and grief
associated with them, was very much worth it," Grandmother
pointed out.  "Those involved will find new romances, new BFFs,
or not as the fates may allow -- just like anyone else's fortune.
 It's even minutely possible that some will meet again and
rekindle their friendships.

"I do sense that a clique of new BFFs has formed around the
original two girls, and that the new Tracy is one of them."

"I had her join them retroactively," said Anya.  "I thought she
needed friends from the start."

       The END ... and a New Beginning?
