Right. Ok. You are just going to have to excuse this double post, but I feel VERY strongly on this issue and...

I need tissues. I am going to have to read the entire thing again now! I can't beleive this! I mean, I knew, you hinted...Melinda...but Ray...no...Lisa!!! How dare you! She was the most alive thing since Maggie, and Ray was even more alive and...No...NO!!!! Ooooh, Lisa!!!!!

The reason I am editing this post is because it would be irresponsible to post a third post in a row:

...what can I say...this is without a doubt the best thing I have ever read in Mupept history ever. Forget Swamp Call, forget Chasing Robin, forget everything. The taxi, the zoo, Melinda, and the jumping...the lightning...the tree...the....Oh! LISA!!!! I may never forgive you for this you HEAR!!!!!!!!!!

I warned you.

You will notice, I have subtly indicated a certain lack of something positive and enduring- In the entire length of the story thus far, I have not even once mentioned stars.

You will notice, that throughout my posts, and throughout the story, I have warned you.

It will seem very far-fetched at some points, it will seem like I can't possibly take it from where I get it to how it actually is. But rest assured, I will.
TogetherAgain said:
...Did I mention that I'm insanely nervous about this story?
TogetherAgain said:
And besides all that, this story is just too emotionally draining.
TogetherAgain said:
They sat together and watched the rainbow fade.
TogetherAgain said:
As he did so, he slowly pulled out a few small wildflowers he had been hiding in the sleeve of his sweater.
Please notice- wildflowers, which must whither and die.

Don't unbuckle those seatbelts just yet. We'll be coasting through the next two chapters- but then I'll floor it again. And, you know I try not to give anything away, but I will tell you that when you're going at such high speeds, it's easy to lose control of the vehicle.
I warned you.

I realize, that this is the most heart breaking chapter I have ever written. It is hard. To soften it, to remove the bitter taste it leaves, soon you will see the most uplifting chapter I have ever written. Not right away, not in the next chapter, or even the chapter after that, but soon.

But in the mean time.

I warned you.

I mean, you gave no hint I mean I knew that but not that and then well I expected but it wasn't then it was and how could you dare to contemplate and the house will have a bunk bed and breathing and melinda and ray and oh my gosh and lisa I am not sure I will be able to face I Muppet fanfic again except of course I will because I know this was the only way and this was a really badly put together sentence so excuse me and LISA!!!!!!!

Hey Lisa... More story please?
Rully painful stuff... But it comes across boo-tifully.

And though Melinda and Ray are gone, they're not forgotten... And besides... Doesn't Kermit have a certain tadpole-hatching to get to?
And what about that street's opening...

Just please... Post more soon.

Gah! The pain!

(whimpers pathetically)

Not fair. I don't want to cry over my computer in front of my mother. Darn it.

I will admit that I didn't foresee a happy ending for that poor little family, but honestly, the accident completely caught me off guard. I was just smiling and laughing right along with the family, wondering what interesting experience they were going to have next when, WHAM! They're dead.

Oh, gosh, I am just way too emotional about this. I think I'm gonna have to go watch a few episodes from the first season to cheer me up, 'cause gosh... even for a masochistic Muppet fan like me... this hurts.

I'm sad now. :frown: (But great job!)
