Okay, I wasn't going to review this until I reached the last updated chapter, but I just had to right now! Your story has had me on the brink of shedding tears. This girl is so amazing and so are the guys. I love it, and it has to be one of the greatest stories I have ever read! I feel like crying for Maria's whole situation right now and I probably will.

One question, though. How did you come up with a story like this?

oops. i didn't see this chapter was posted until now. but it was really good. i love the song a the end. i was totally singing it aloud as i read the lyrics.

congradulations on finishing this! it was terrific!

yo yo, so i totally loved the ending to this chap..(i love getting presents though, touching a soft spot).. i like the bright and brooke stuff, im totally happy they are back togethor!(though it is a tad predictable.. but whoever said predictability was a bad thing was soo totally subjective).. anyway, yea i know i said i was over andrew and maria-and i still am! but i think i realy like andrew, um.. maybe its maria im a bit over!(sorry!) but i think thats my personal preference.. i'd love to see what happens to jake, i've been missing him in the story! liked the whole charlie sitch, it was very realistic the way he acted and then the way she reacted later.. anyway, cant wait for your next bit few months down the track-i cant believe this story is ending!

cheers, sad-billy

Great job with this chapter. It was beautifully written as usual. Can't wait for the epilouge! I'd write more but I'm in school and my teacher wants me to go make a web page. lol

very nice! i love it! yay! bright and brooke *squeal*!

OMG OMG OMG! i'm so saddened that this is the last chapter! i expected more... like jake finding out about andrew and maria... and like a little bit more stuff... i dunno. well it was awesome... but a lil to short for me hahahahaha. well anyways. i'm really looking foward to the epilogue and epilogue usually means that there is a sequel or something... so hopefully there is! but yeah. thanks for emailing back! [

Aww cute story!

I really like this chapter. You resolved a lot of issues, especially between Brooke and Bright, which I'm thrilled about. I was rooting for them.

And Charlie's mom-wow. She had some nerve. I'm surprised Brooke didn't tell her off even more and throw her out of the house. I got the impression she was trying to pay her off to keep her mouth shut. That bothers me a lot. You got a rise out of me and it's all fiction...nice!

Maria & Andrew-I totally love them. I'm not surprised that they had sex, and I think you wrote it just fine-not seedy, and not super graphic. I hope they have a real future together. They're good for each other.

Sorry I haven't reviewed much, I've been being lazy. :D I really like this chapter, and I especially love the bit about the rain being their thing. It was sweat.

Yay, OK Go! Go read this story, everybody! Haha, great chapter again Lien :) yeah, rain's their thing... can you make them kiss in the rain or something? That'll be a great scene! I loved the great spider catcher part, super funny. As for Jake suddenly popping up, I think I would majorly freak out if I were Maria. LOL. Personally, I think the Bright and Brooke part was pretty good mainly because it's real. No way in hell would Bright be so forgiving, would he? That'll just be... off. But still, it's sad because they seem good together.

Short review because I gotta jet, mother needs help with something. Your dad's going to be fine, trust me (and God) :) don't worry too much! And update soon yeah?

omgoodness! i'm so sorry about your dad! your family is in my prayers! this was an AMAZING chapter! very sweet! great job!

Lien dearest, we have a problem... Do you even know what you've just done? You threw away years of therapy with your new chapter! Just when I thought I had finally got over it... Camping... Spiders... Duccia's first and ONLY camping experience spiders not something you would like to tell kids on Christmas... And not even an hottie there to save me from the "MONSTERS"... Life is so unfair!Have I ever mentioned that I'm arachnophobic? And with aracnophobic I mean panic attacks, cold sweat, banshee screams everytime I see something with four pairs of legs...*shivers in disgust*... Spiders are pure evil... I bet Satan has two of them as pets... And he calls them by their name... So guys,listen to what auntie Duccia has to tell you... Don't drink, don't smoke, drive safely and please... NEVER NEVER GO CAMPING! Got it? Good...

Anyway, let's forget about this "little" accident( Hey shrink, guess what... I'm BACK!), and let me tell you this... I loved your new chapter! Surely one of the funniest you've ever written... Poor Andrew and Maria... First Jake, then the spider ( see? I told you they were evil!) and at last the rain... Everything was against them... But it serves them right... Next time they'll listen to me... NEVER GO CAMPING! Camping is not romantic... Mosquitoes, pit toilets, and animal droppings... Definitely NOT romantic... Despite all, I like how you dealt with the "beast with two backs" subject... You didn't rush things too much... You're right... Sex isn’t something you should plan... And the wait will make everything even more special...

Okkay, someone is really pissing me off... Bright dear, I know that you loved Brooke, I knew that she cheated on you, I knew that you are hurt, but please, please... Can you just try to give that girl a chance? You weren't married and she didn't kill your puppy for fun, for God's sake! I agree with you, cheating is bad and most of the time not forgivable, but don't you think that girl has already paid enough? Stop being a wussy and go to get the girl! Otherwise... *devil laugh*

One last thing before going back to Duccia-la-la-land (it's a nice place...Pink flamingos grow, cherry coke flows... You should pass by one of these days...)... About your father... Well, remember, the coin I threw in the Trevi Fountain for you? Let's keep our finger crossed and let's hope that my wish will come true... Because good things happen, I'm sure of it...

See you at the next update my friend!

Duccia ;)

hey there! wow, im so sorry about your dad.. fingers crossed that he is ok!

i was actually a bit disappointed with this chapter..(im SOO SORRY!) .. the brooke and bright sitch is cool, but im a bit over andrw and maria.. i mean, everything is so intense between them its kinda freaky..

so its really my own fault i didnt really appreciate this chap, im way too chicken to handle the intensity between maria and andrew(sorry!) other then that it was brilliant, as always!

:)cheers, sadbilly

OK Go is friggin awesome! i heart them for life! (i just realized how stupid that sounded. oh wellers.)

anywho, fabulous chapter. nice, unexpected, and dramatic. can't wait to see what happens next!
