Description
A new year is approaching and, after the Lawsuit Arc, Tari is uncertain about what her future on SMG4 holds for her. She stares out the window, staring into the rainy night as midnight approaches. 2023 will be another big year for the SMG4 series, Meta Runner is over and the new year will be the five year anniversary of when Tari first appeared (and when I became an SMG4 fan).

She peered out the window, staring into the rainy night sky, gazing up at the clouds and trying to see the stars, just barely able to glimpse the light of the moon. Alone in her room, Tari thought about all that had happened as of recent, thinking about the events of the past year. Midnight was slowly creeping in and, with it, a new year. The cyborg thought of the grand finale to Meta Runner, the end of a years-long adventure. Then, she thought of the events that had unfolded with Lawyer Kong and the aftermath of it all. Well before Meta Runner began, she’d been part of the gang, from the day she met SMG4 and from the day she met Mario. SMG4 had included her in every single one of his videos about the gang’s adventures, many of which she’d been involved in. And she had a role to play in the high-stakes adventures that had happened around her, from the days of the Waluigi crisis, all the way to the battle with Zero. But she didn’t have anything to do during the legal drama with Nintendo and Lawyer Kong. And since then, SMG4 rarely included her in his videos. She was lucky that she was appearing in the Mario Does Things videos, but those were minor. And she didn’t have anything to say during Christmas. Now, she thought about what to come, thinking of what life may have in store for her next year. He’d included her in his videos, not just out of goodness, but also to promote Meta Runner. She’d inspired him to make it in a way, but it was over now. SMG4 had assured her once before that he wasn’t going to get rid of her, she would still be part of the gang. But with not much to do after the end of Meta Runner and after Lawyer Kong defeated, all she could do was wait to see if he needed her, he’d told her he would need her at one point, and face the future with uncertainty. Next year... next year would be when... something happened. Something did happen every year, things did happen without her before she joined the crew and many things did happen in the years after she joined. What did her future have in store for her, what awaited her with Meta Runner over and with her decrease in appearances. The cyborg looked at her rubber duck and gently stroked his head, remembering every adventure that they shared together, remembering when she got him one Christmas and when she employed him in battle against Francis. Oh, how she was never going to let go of those cute and squeaky rubber ducks. Every night, every week, since the last major adventure with the gang, she’d stared out the window, staring up at the stars. But with the rain, she didn’t have much on the mind to think of. Uncertainty, only the sense of an uncertain future. ‘Nothing lasts forever.’ She heard a voice say in her head. ‘I know.’ Tari thought. ‘That’s what makes life precious, knowing that when nothing lasts, you got to live life to the fullest in the time that you have left and fulfill the goals that you have, pursue your dreams and make the friends you want to make. Make your own future, make your own past...’ She looked at the photos on her desk; the first picture of her with Mario and the photo of her with the gang together that one Christmas with Bob, the picture of her with Meggy and the Mario Bros on the day they came out on top in Splatfest, her hanging out with Theo and MD-5. Tari picked up one picture, the one taken of her with the others last Christmas. So many good times. ‘And we’re all just stories in the end.’ She thought with a smile, ‘So, let’s make it a good one.’ Tari heard her phone buzz, two minutes until midnight. She noticed the notification indicating that SMG4 had texted her. She tapped the icon and the message screen came up. ‘Yo, how are you?’ SMG4 asked, ‘Just textin’ to wish you a happy New Year.’ Tari texted back, ‘Feeling uncertain, but hopeful, for whatever happens with us next year.’ He replied, ‘You’ll be in the next season of the show, I haven’t forgotten. Just because Meta Runner ended, it doesn’t mean I’m done with you yet. Its ok to be uncertain, but its better to be hopeful. Gonna need you for the next episode you appear in, don’t want fans to worry. You’re not fearing fate, are you?’ ‘I’ll be okay, just don’t make me worry.’ ‘Don’t worry, I won’t keep you worrying, you have my guarantee. I too wonder what next year will hold in store for us. Well, gotta go now, Mario’s got spaghetti.’ ‘Happy New Year, SMG4.’ Booming sounds perked her attention and she put down her phone, noticing a bright colorful flash. Tari turned and looked out the window, seeing fireworks exploding across the rainy night sky. She looked at the clock, it was midnight, the end of another year and the start of a new one. Tari looked at Archibald with a smile. “Happy New Year, Archibald.” She said. The cyborg squeezed the rubber duck, Archibald squeaked and Tari’s duck-loving mind translated that as her duck saying, “Happy New Year to you too.” She smiled and looked out the window, watching the fireworks display, ready for another new year of adventure with her friends and playing video games. She felt confident in herself, confident that everything would be fine this year. And what made her feel more upbeat was that it would have been five years since she met Mario, it didn’t feel that long ago and so much had changed since then. ‘The future is not set, there is no fate but what we make for ourselves.’ She thought, ‘There is no need for uncertainty, we will make the best of it every day in our lives. And whatever comes our way, we will face the future, together…’The End...
